It's been a rough couple weeks for Ticketmaster-- and thank God for that. Just as the biggest ticketing company in the country tries to join forces with Live Nation, the biggest live promotion company in the country, the world-conquering twosome has suffered a series of embarrassing setbacks that will hopefully cause the Justice Department to nix their proposed $2.5 billion merger sometime soon. Here's a round-up of their troubles: -- On Tuesday, the Senate Judiciary Committee's Subcommittee on Antitrust, Competition Policy and Consumer Rights began a hearing that featured testimony from the heads of Ticketmaster and Live Nation, along with a vocal anti-TM/LN indepen…

Australian Singer, Song Writer and Producer Cassie Davis has emerged from no where, and already has Australians talking. Probably a hot export of ours in the future, producing extremely catchy songs; and told by Fergie she's one of a kind, Cassie is pretty big.

A band from Japan. For fans of post-rock (ie: Explosions in the Sky, GYBE, etc.) They tend to go a bit heavier than EitS. Their style at times reminds me of Sigur Ros' Pop Song. Their Album "Walking Cloud and Deep Red Sky, Flag Fluttered and the Sun Shined" is excellent. Check it out. My favorite track is #3, "Halcyon (Beautiful Days)" Very thought provoking.

According to an Associated Press report, Google has teamed up with all four remaining major labels and a few indies to offer a huge amount of music for free download in China: "The advertising-supported service will offer 1.1 million tracks, including the full catalogues of Chinese and Western music for Warner Music Group Corp., EMI Group Ltd., Sony Music Entertainment and Universal Music and 14 independent labels, the companies said. It will be limited to use by computers whose Internet protocol, or IP, addresses show they are in mainland China." For Google and the record labels involved, this represents a massive effort to curb rampant music piracy within the countr…

"Blender, the music magazine, is dead. Its owners folded it this morning, eliminating about 30 jobs in the process. We heard a rumor of this this morning, but Ad Age got the full story. Blender and Maxim were formerly owned by wild British publisher Felix Dennis, but he sold them for a quarter of a billion dollars in 2007, in a spectacularly well-timed disposal. The new owners, Alpha Media, could never really make its new acquisitions soar. They had heavy debt and declining income. And Blender, in particular, lacked a distinct identity—see this month's cover, for instance—and in its field, that can be (and was) deadly. Paid subscriptions fell 8% [from 2007-08] t…

I know there's a Scandinavian thread, but I think these guys deserve their own thread. :) Does anyone else like them? I'm obsessed with Writer's Block, it's one of the albums I've been listening to nonstop this summer. My current obsession is 'Let's Call It Off'. Though every time 'Young Folks' is playing, I can't help but whistle along. :P

Here I am once again promoting another one of my favourite artists in the hopes that people will like them and add them to their list of top albums for 2007, because this is definitely one of my favourites. I present to you Apostle of Hustle, and their most recent album National Anthem of Nowhere. This band is led by Andrew Whiteman, the guitarist of Broken Social Scene. So once again if you like Broken Social Scene you are bound to like Apostle of Hustle. But unlike Kevin Drew's latest album, this does not just sound like a Broken Social Scene side project as it has a Cuban undertone throughout, and many of the songs feature Spanish lyrics. If I were you I would …

A thread for this amazing song that has been covered countless times. Originally written by Leonard Cohen, it has been most famously covered by Jeff Buckley (on his "Grace" album) and John Cale (the soundtrack for the movie "Shrek"). It seems that every version is great in its own way. Anyone else love just about every version of this timeless classic?

found on msn news Music as Medicine Music therapy can help reduce anxiety and improve physical health By Serena Gordon, HealthDay Reporter Music therapy can help reduce anxiety and improve physical health. SATURDAY, March 22 (HealthDay News) -- Almost everyone has used music at one time or another to relax or perhaps to get energized. But the discipline of music therapy takes the use of music much further, from battling depression to combating cancer. "Music therapy is an evidence-based practice that can affect changes in physical, psychological, social and cognitive domains through music experiences and the relationship that develops between the client an…

For anyone who has heard of the legend (and if you haven't, look him up on youtube), do you know if anybody sells his first album, The Perc U Lator? I can't seem to find it anywhere after extensive looking. The only place I've found is Sheehan's Musical Instruments. Considering its an English site, and I'm from America, I'd prefer not to buy it from overseas. It might get a bit costly. I know I'm asking a pretty tough question, but if anyone knows anything, I'd appreciate it! Thanks a lot!

Its come to my attention that even though we spew endless crap on kurt cobain- we forget another great frontman from that beautiful time period of the early 90's. Soundgarden, soundgarden can kick nirvanas ass from here to there, but thats not what i want to talk about. Soundgarden were an amazing band, chris cornell an amazing singer, kim thyail a great guitarest, matt cameron a brilliant drummer and chris shepard... well he played bass.Even theyre rough beginnings-Louder than love,Badmotorfinger were aiming for something great. then the band split and chris cornell made a solo album- and by f**k it blew me away, it was so good it was 10/10. unfortunatly he no longer pla…

Ladies and gentlemen, Mad Rabbit and I, Duck Feeling, created The Snobs few years ago and we produced many albums in a total independence. Our records are completely free and we don't want to sell our music, but we think you could like it so we give it on the internet. We love Stereolab, The Beatles, Radiohead or Sonic Youth and we would like to share with you our new album called Albatross. We recorded it during the last ten months and it sounds like a psychedelic trip of two pirates, somewhere between exotic indian ports and the caribbean sea. Yes, you can hear by yourself! You can download Albatross for free by clicking one of these three links: Link n°1 Link…

Just curious. We've already heard from Ed, that they're working on a new album so they'll be in the studio soon. Also Radiohead is known for taking old songs and putting them on albums (Nude, I Will, 4 Minute Warning, Last Flowers, Life In a Glasshouse, etc). My question is, of the Unreleased songs they have, which ones would you like to appear on the album the most? I'm only going to include songs that we have full versions of, and not snippits (ex. Burn the Witch, Wake Me (Before they Come), etc.)
