Billboard reports that Apple is not happy with labels working with Amazon to promote new releases.
In exchange for a Daily Deal promotion on a new album, Amazon has been asking labels to provide it with a one-day exclusive before street date and such digital marketing support as a banner ad on an artist’s [...]
The more I read about this guy the more I like him.
I might as well look as alien as possible because it reinforces a point I am making. My whole thing is that I approach everything as an absolute outsider. It’s the only way I can break so many rules. Remember, my background [...]
Ah, the 1980s. Between hair bands, stonewashed jeans, new wave, neon everything, Devo hats…the style throughout that decade was showy and focused on decoration. What was modern at the time seems like a period of regret when people reminisce about their bad hair styles.

Waveformless mentions an article from the Denver Post about how as albums fade out EPs may be on the rise again.
“It has been talked about a lot, and I think it is, to some extent at least, true that the advent and subsequent domination of digital sales — and specifically the iTunes [...]
I don’t know what came first: Carl Sagan’s Cosmos showing up on Hulu and Netflix, or A Glorious Dawn. One of the prevalent ideas that Sagan presents in Cosmos is that the human race may destroy itself before it could ever realize its full potential.
Makes me think of Steve Reich’s Three Tales video-opera that takes [...]
