Music including U2's could be repackaged The world's biggest record company is to sell CDs in basic cardboard sleeves in a bid to compete with online sales. Universal Music Group is introducing three tiers of packaging in Europe, also including deluxe and sturdier versions of the standard case. It expects the basic CDs to sell for about £7, the standard for about £10, and the deluxe - offering bonus CDs or DVDs - for around £14. The company said the CD had not "had much of a revamp in the last 20 years". "We thought we should reboot the consumer's experience of buying CDs," said Universal's executive vice president Max Hole. He said the basic package was aimed a…

Books and music retailer HMV has reported a 20% fall in annual profits to £98.2m ($180.3m) and warned that current trading remains challenging. HMV said that sales had been hit by competition from supermarkets and by more people buying products online. The firm, which bought the Ottakar's book chain this year, saw like-for-like sales fall 5.7% in the year to April while current sales are down 10.1%. It has also announced plans to merge its Waterstone's and Ottakar's chains. The move - which will expand the Waterstone's chain to more than 330 outlets - will result in a number of redundancies among Ottakar's staff, although the details have yet to be finalised. The …

'Thank you everyone for waiting for us’ are Chris Martin’s first words to the already fired-up Nokia Isle of Wight Festival revellers. Clearly, most people are actually here to see this English world-wide sensation anyway. But Chris and the other members in Coldplay don’t care. They know where they’re from and they also know who got them where they are right now; at the pinnacle of musical superstardom. This is the culmination of three days of music in the sun – a festival experience you normally wouldn’t dare dream of in this country. No mud, no rain, lots of lobster-tinged punters who didn’t think suncream was a staple for a festival over here. There’s no big fuss…

I am wanting to learn some classical pieces, but ones that people either recognize or will like. What are some pieces all of you play in the classical category and you like and others do to? Thanks

Royal Mail managers are urgently investigating the alleged disappearance of T in the Park tickets. Their inquiry follows a complaint that a pair of tickets for the music festival was not delivered to a customer in Bathgate, West Lothian. A spokesman said the security of mail was of "paramount importance". In May, postal workers suspected of stealing tickets for Radio 1's Big Weekend concert in Dundee were suspended and later resigned. Meanwhile, as the festival gears up to take place at Balado in Kinross on 8 and 9 July, T in the Park bosses said tickets being sold for profit on the internet would be confiscated. Commenting on the missing ticket claim, the…

With great difficulty I have narrowed the list down to 30, because the numbers were starting to get repetitive. 30 J.S. Bach 19 29 Elliott Smith 19 28 Jonny Buckland 19 27 Jimmy Page 19 26 Mark Geary 19 25 Nick McCabe 19 24 Dave Grohl 20 23 Dominic Howard 20 22 John Coltrane 20 21 Keith Moon 20 20 John Butler 21 19 Robert Plant 24 18 Ozzy Osborne 24 17 Glen Hansard 32 16 Morissey 32 15 Jeff Buckley 34 14 Matt Bellamy 37 13 Herbie Hancock 38 12 David Gilmour 40 11 Bono 48 10 George Harrison 51 (The Beatles) 9 Roger Waters 53 (Pink Floyd) 8 Paul McCartney 60 (The Beatles) …

Have anyone heard about them? I think they're quite good; not very original or so, because i've heard many times the ideas in their lyrics ... anyway i stiil like listening to them here's the link to their website, where you can download 3 free songs from the album ".mu" http://www.tinderbox.mu hope you like it

I like stealing thread ideas..... This should provide some interesting discussion for a while. Put a list of however many you want (But not past 20.) Any type of musician, instrumentalist, vocalist etc. OK, this is very hard, I'll admit, but I'll try. And this includes a lot of people that are just my personal prefernece that would never be considered on an official list. 1. Dave Grohl (Foo Fighters, Nirvana, Queens of the Stone Age [sorta], Probot) 2. Jonny Greenwood (Radiohead) 3. Eric Clapton (Mainly solo but also: Cream, The Yardbirds, probably more..) 4. Thom Yorke (Radiohead) 5. John Bonham (Led Zeppelin) 6. Angus Young (AC/DC) 7. Geo…

An unconfirmed post on rock collective Elephant 6's website says the frontman of folksy super-troupe Neutral Milk Hotel is releasing new material. Rumors are circulating that the mysterious frontman of the lo-fi folk collective, Neutral Milk Hotel, is compiling unreleased songs for a new album. After dropping In the Aeroplane Over the Sea, Neutral Milk Hotel's landmark 1998 album, Mangum's primary band went on permanent hiatus. Rumors circulated as to Mangum's whereabouts and activities, but the singer recently lived in Quebec where he recorded unreleased music. A post signed by "Jeff" on Elephant 6 Recording Company's website has caused more speculation about what …

Who of you will be attending a music festival this year? I went to Leeds last year and I recently aquired tickets for this years V. I'm afraid I'm going to reserve this thread for UKers only because otherwise I'll have no idea what you'll be talking about and I don't want that.

Frou Frou - Let Go how fantastic is this song?! i heard it in the garden state commercial and i really want to see this film badly.

who likes her? :D

I used to go to music blogs like http://www.redlightglow.com, wirez.wxcs.com or http://www.glassdance.com. But all of those blogs aren't active anymore. So I was wondering if anyone knew of any similar blogs, since I love music blogs to discover new bands I would otherwise never hear of. :)

I did not see a thread for this so it is. If you don't know who John Williams is, than I will try to break it down for you. He is a composer who is the best I think. He has made the music for many movies like Star Wars, Jaws, Harry Potter, ET, Home Alone, Indian Jones, War Of The Worlds, and many more. So do any of you people know him and if you do, do you think he makes some good music?

Just got the photos back from the Jonny's camera which I caught at IOW! I'll put them up tomorrow morning when I have more time. To be honest theyre not quite as good as I hoped because there are only 3 backstage (one of these is a random guy). but there are some priceless ones of the crowd (steph, carley, louise and me) all looking absolutely manic! anyway i'll put them up tomorrow on photobucket. hold your breaths!!!!!!

this is just a note to say that something has been kicking around in the background that i have not told you about. its called The Eraser. nigel produced & arranged it . i wrote and played it. the elements have been kicking round now for a few years and needed to be finished & i have been itching to do something like this for ages. it was fun and quick to do. inevitably it is more beats & electronics. but its songs. stanley did the cover. yes its a record! no its not a radiohead record. as you know the band are now touring and writing new stuff and getting to a good space so i want no crap about me being a traitor or whatever splitting up blah blah.…

Interview with Lou Reed: Nervously, I pick the most topical question I can, and hit him with it. "Mr Reed, what did you think of Coldplay covering your song Perfect Day at the Isle of Wight Festival?" If it were humanly possible, Reed's expression darkens even further. "They did whaaaaaaat?" I tell him Chris Martin told the media that because Reed hadn't played it during his set, Coldplay did it in theirs. "You're kidding." Reed looks so infuriated that I'm still not sure whether his next question "Have you heard that?" is directed at me or members of his entourage. I hurriedly try to pacify him, telling him that although I wasn't at the Isle of Wight and people …
