When Radiohead offered their new album In Rainbows, for free through their website last year, many industry analysts and bigwigs watched the results very closely to see if the model was workable. The album has since been released on physical formats but the download experiment gained Radiohead a lot of new fans and masses of […]
The Vodafone Live Music Awards are an annual awards ceremony, sponsored funnily enough by Vodafone.
Unlike other all-encompassing awards ceremonies, these focus on live music. I bet you’d have never guessed if I hadn’t told you so.
The year’s nominations have now been announced and it’s an eclectic bunch of artists to say the least. Leading […]
The members of the Rolling Stones may all be in their sixties, but they are still one of the most commercially-viable bands around at the moment. Which makes their defection from EMI to Universal a big blow to the former, and a massive boost to the latter.
The Rolling Stones have become the third big British […]
The Mercury Music Prize, sponsored by Nationwide, is the annual award given to the best album by a British or Irish artist released in the previous 12 months. The ceremony isn’t until later in the year, but a short-list is first released, with the name of the 12 artists, and their albums, on it which […]
When Jay-Z was announced as a headliner for this year’s Glastonbury festival, it caused no end of controversy, and consternation amongst regular Glasto-goers who weren’t happy with the booking. In the run-up to this weekend’s festival, Jay-Z has now come out and had his say on the whole thing.
Unsurprisingly, Jay-Z things the controversy is “ridiculous” […]
Duffy has been one of the biggest stars to have emerged over the last six months in the wake of the success Amy Winehouse has enjoyed on both sides of the Atlantic. She was rewarded for her hard work by having her début hit Mercy named as Song Of The Year in the Mojo Honours […]
Arrests over illegal file-sharing are as common as muck over in the States, with the RIAA (Recording Industry Association Of America) cracking down on all forms of alleged content theft against record labels and recording artists. However, in the UK, we have been spared the legal ramifications of file sharing, at least until now.
Oink’s Pink […]
The Ivor Novello Awards 2008 results are in, with a star studded ceremony held in London tonight. The best of British as well as some American artists have been rewarded and recognised for their song writing talents at the annual celebration of all that is good in music.
This time last month, I highlighted the nominees, […]
Alternative British rockers Radiohead left their long time record label EMI last year and decided instead to put out In Rainbows over the Internet for free in an experiment which has seen many copycats.
However, EMI obviously still wants to make some money off the band, and so are preparing to release a greatest hits […]
I’m always intrigues what bands think when another artist covers one of their tracks. If it gets released, then they’ve obviously given permission for the song to be covered, but what do they really think?
Well, we at least know that The Zutons were pleased with the cover version of Valerie that Mark Ronson and Amy […]
