These articles brought forth are for a few different reasons:
1. It is relevant music information that pertains to you as a reader, no matter the level of intent or the genre.
2. They are relevant to the music I would be currently listening to or a genre I have put some attention and focus on.
3. I am rather patriotic about my Canadian music, so that always comes as a first for me. I enjoy music from all parts of the world respectively, but I still have to promote local if I can. Canadian music rocks!
4. Because it's humourous and we can ALWAYS use a good laugh. Rarely will it be at someone's expense...but then again I am just the guy talking about it. They're the ones causing the comments.
So in closing, I trust you all will not read EVERY single article posted here. But I hope you find something of use here and keep the conversation going by forwarding it onto someone else. Click on each article heading for redirection to the full article. Cheers!
Spotify to tailor music to your heart beat:
"Maybe with motion sensors in phones, we can start guessing things whether users are running, biking or driving? Maybe the phone has a temperature sensor, or a heart rate sensor, we could guess whether the user is tense..." -Donovan Sung (Spotify’s product manager for discovery and recommendations)
Kim Dotcom previews his new music service, Baboom, with his own album:
"Oddly enough, I don’t see Baboom much as a direct competitor for Spotify — rather, an expanded version of SoundCloud or a cleaner execution of MySpace. If it unfolds perfectly, Baboom stands to become a smart platform for free singles and mixtapes, which emerging artists have turned to recently for increased exposure, rather than paid albums commonly found on streaming music services."
How an epilepsy drug led to the holy grail of musical skill:
"The researchers administered controlled doses of Valproate, a prescription drug, to two groups of people, mainly students at UBC. These were given online training tasks in which they were taught to associate certain pitches with randomly chosen proper names like Francine and Leo, instead of traditional note names like B-flat and F-sharp — an approach Levitin had himself used in a 1992 study, as “non-musicians tend to be somewhat intimidated by musical notation.” But where Levitin had found that adults couldn’t memorize more than two pitches (“Fred” and “Ethel” in his study), Hensch and his co-authors found that one of their treatment groups, having been administered Valproate, performed substantially better."

SCAR SYMMETRY Announce Concept Album Trilogy 'THE SINGULARITY':
"The first of the three albums is called 'The Singularity (phase I: Neohumanity)'
In the coming decades we will see the rise of artificial intelligence and transhumanism. Humanity will build artilects (artificial intellects) with mental capacities far above the human level of thought. By the year 2030, one of the world's biggest industries will be "artificial brains," used to control artilects that will be genuinely intelligent and useful. Millions of people will be prepared to spend more money on an artilect than on a car.
So in about a decade there will be a thriving artificial brain industry, and nearly everyone will have an artilect which will be upgraded every two or three years. Each new artilect generation will be smarter and more useful than the previous generation, so that as the gap between the human intelligence level and the artificial intelligence level gets smaller every year, the species dominance debate will increase. There will be those who embrace the new technology and those who oppose it. There will also be those who add artilectual components to their own bodies, aiming to become artilect gods themselves.
The rise of the artilects and cyborgs will be disruptive to human culture, creating alienation and hatred. Children infused with artilectual nanotechnology and components will become dead to their parents as they see their offspring turn into cyborgs because they are no longer human, but an artilect in human disguise. Those who oppose the cyborgs and artilects will have to strike early in the oncoming conflict or they will be overthrown by the superior artificial species.
Add to this the advances in cryonics and cloning where minds can be downloaded and uploaded into eternal physical life and we see a very different reality emerge on earth.
The singularity is here, technocalypse and cybergeddon emerges!" -Scar Symmetry
