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 humorous 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!
Stevie Wonder to Produce Underground Railroad Miniseries, Musical:
“We’re increasingly looking for projects that qualify as television events and these harrowing true stories of courageous young men and women who found love, in spite of the heinousness of slavery, certainly does that. Furthermore, the idea of also developing this into a Broadway musical with Stevie Wonder is very exciting as we look to expand the scope of our live stage business. We’re thrilled that these producers wanted to bring this important project to us.” -Robert Greenblatt
Runoff from music festival contaminates rivers:
"The study collected water from 30 sampling sites on many dates throughout 2011, particularly those before, during, and after the Spring Scream music festival's duration. Among the findings: the waters saw spikes of illegal drugs that coincided with both locations and dates that were known for being popular with tourists. The locals were a bit more sedate, with general analgesics appearing most often in the waters they used."
Country music an expansive art form:
"We would not have the songs of Loretta Lynn, Robert Johnson, Nina Simone, the Beatles or Meshell Ndegeocello. In fact, we would not have bluegrass either, which traces its roots and rhythms to country, blues, jazz, gospel and old-time string band music. There would be no Bill Monroe, no Flatt and Scruggs, no Osborne Brothers. No Hazel and Alice, no Ricky Skaggs, no Alison Krauss."
TLC announce return with Kickstarter funded album:
"We owe so much of our success to you. Your loyalty and support throughout the past 20 years motivates us to do our best work. Without you, we wouldn't have ten top 10 singles and four number 1 singles. We wouldn't have won five Grammy awards or sold 65 million records worldwide. Without you, we wouldn't have become the most successful girl group of all time! Without you there would be no TLC!!
This album, our FINAL ALBUM, is dedicated to all of you that have stuck with us, always challenging us to do our best. And of course, it’s for the new fans too! ;) We just want to put out great music that touches everyone. That’s it."
ADMIT IT, DANCE MUSIC SNOBS: YOU'RE LISTENING TO EDM:
"EDM as a simple acronym has been floating around since the ‘80s, according to several sources. But it didn’t become a popular descriptor of the music and culture until about six years ago, when it was used to market a new generation of dance music artists like Skrillex, Swedish House Mafia and David Guetta, as well as the massive festivals at which they headlined."
Is “lossless” sound the next big thing in music—or just another marketing stunt?:
"This devolution runs contrary to what has happened in just about every other consumer category, where technology steadily improved the quality of the experience. Take video, where resolutions keep improving. High-definition television is becoming standard, the ultra-high-resolution 4K era is fast approaching. People may be watching movies on smaller mobile screens, but nobody is watching in black and white."
Jamaica’s affair with foreign music:
"We can't get it out of our system. Back in the day, parents went out and bought albums and 45s of their favourite acts, and this was played in the home, and children were introduced to various tracks. I would say we are more into foriegn music than Jamaican music. The average Jamaican can tell you more about Mariah Carey's catalogue than they can about any Jamaican artiste." -Michael Barnett
In Paris, a New Music Hub Hums:
"Attempting to draw new audiences to classical music is a primary goal of the Philharmonie. Nothing is more essential to a field in the midst of longstanding challenges. But the institution also hopes older patrons and those who found the traditional Salle Pleyel inviting and convenient, will make their way to this arts center, in a park that includes the Paris Conservatoire, a music museum and an established theater. The Metro here sets a standard for urban subway systems: It’s easy to use and remarkably quiet; trains come frequently and go everywhere. There is a stop right near the Parc de la Villette."
Imogen Heap just reinvented music with a pair of magic gloves. No bigs:
This great iPhone app squeezes an entire music player into one iOS widget, and it’s free:
"Music Center is one of the top 200 apps in over 75 countries & has 150000+ downloads in less than two months!
Here’s what the press is saying –
• Cnet.com – “Unlocking your iOS device, launching the Music app, then finding a song you want to listen to is a routine we all repeat. Music Center speeds up the process by taking advantage of iOS 8’s Today widget in the Notification Center.”
• TUAW.com – 'I wasn’t sure how useful Music Center would be, but I find I am using it frequently. I especially like the access from the lock screen to play music via Bluetooth while I am driving. It’s quick and easy.'
• AppAdvice.com – 'Music Center is a pretty cool idea and makes it easy to get quick access to your music library without having to unlock your device'.
• Lifehacker.com – 'If you’ve ever wanted easy access to your whole music library from anywhere, Music Center’s a good place to start.'"
Grateful Dead Reunite for Chicago Farewell Concerts With Trey Anastasio:
"Jerry Garcia was a great American master and the Grateful Dead are not just a genuine piece of musical history, but also an important part of American history. This is a band, born right at the beginning of electric rock, that took the American tradition and moved it forward. They really embodied the American concept of freedom, rolling around the country with a ginormous gang of people and the mindset that 'you can come if you want, you can leave if you want. We don’t know what’s going to happen. All we know is we’re not looking back.’ What could be more American?" -Anastasio
Google Adds Tour Dates and Ticket Info to Search Results:
"Now a web developer can write the markup -- or HTML code -- directly into the site's code or implement a widget or plugin that creates the markup. Put another way, structured data used by a ticketer's web developer is able to point Google to the relevant information -- like an event page or ticket link -- so Google can include it in search results. Developers can either take the markup from Google's schema.org or install a supported events widget from BandPage, Bandsintown, Songkick or Gigpress."
Beastie Boys Want Monster to Pay Them Another $2.4 Million in Legal Fees:
"Monster's tactics significantly increased the costs for Beastie Boys to vindicate their intellectual property rights, such that, absent an award of attorney's fees and costs, plaintiff's success at trial would become a Pyrrhic victory."
Tupac Shakur exhibit to open Feb. 2 at Grammy Museum:
“Tupac Shakur was one of the most original and important of all hip hop artists. His writings are both powerful and provocative. It is an honor to be the first music museum to acknowledge Tupac's legacy and to bring context to what was an incredible career.” -Robert Santelli (Grammy Museum Executive Director)
Moog Music Recreates a Trio of Its Legendary Modular Synths:
"If you’ve never seen the System 35, System 55, or Model 15—you really can’t miss them, they’re beasts—you’ve almost certainly heard them. These are the same machines rock keyboardists used to paint the hazy, space-prog otherscapes of the 1970s. Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Yes, Rush, Brian Eno and Tangerine Dream all used them. But they also made Stevie saucier and Herbie hotter. And, being open-minded adults viewing the history of music through the long lens of time, we can freely admit that Moog’s modular synths made for some pretty kick-ass, adventurous disco records."
Learning music improves children's abilities and raises their IQs, study finds:
"Of all hobbies and activities, music is the only one that can increase children’s IQs by up to 7.5 points if they start at the age of about two and continue for six years. Even one year’s music training before the age of seven, when the brain is at its most malleable, can boost IQs by three points. Neural pathways are laid down before the age of seven and while you can still get the benefits later, they won’t be as “hard-wired” into the brain. You also have to do more than simply listen to music to get these benefits."
Inside Toronto's most unique music hub:
"Array is unique, though, in that it goes beyond hosting public concerts. While they also offer rehearsal time (with two baby grand pianos handy), artist studios, a library, and audio recording (with engineer, if requested), Array Space is just a section of the Array Music world. Array programs lectures and workshops like the Indigenous Music Creators Project and the Young Composers' Workshop, and special Array Sessions. All this ties into founding force, the Array Ensemble."
Twitch Music Has 500 Songs You Can Use Without Being Muted:
"The library has more than 500 pre-cleared, mostly EDM songs from "established and burgeoning labels, including Mad Decent, Dim Mak, Spinnin’ Records, OWSLA, Monstercat, Fool’s Gold, and many more," which Twitch broadcasters can use live and with VODs (past broadcasts/highlights). Artists can also submit their music to be used on Twitch if they are the copyright holders and if they have at least 250,000 subscribers or followers on YouTube, Facebook, and/or Twitter."
Motley Crue Biopic 'The Dirt' Moves Forward With New Production Company:
"The book was a no holds barred account of the iconic 1980s band's rise to top of the hair metal and rock scene, all while experiencing a guitar case's worth of drug overdoses, sex with slinky babes, run-ins with the police and in-fighting.
Armed with a screenplay written by Rich Wilkes and Tom Kapinos, Focus is promising a "Dr. Feelgood" movie that will be outrageous, larger-than-life depiction of the band's high (and low) life.
Julie Yorn, Erik Olsen, and Allen Kovac will produce. Chris Nilsson, Steven Kline, and Rick Yorn will executive-produce."
Fear Factory Completes Recording Drums, Guitar And Bass For New Album:
"We’re shooting for April, but it might get pushed back, we don’t know yet. Depends on when we finish the album, do you know what I mean? Because we have to have setup time for the album… at least two-three months. So three months, we might just make the April deadline." -Cazares
Fallujah Sign With Nuclear Blast Entertainment:
"We're extremely excited to be part of a roster alongside not just great bands, but great people who are dedicated to the craft and enthusiastic about our vision of where we see Fallujah going. Fallujah is all about pushing the envelope, taking risks, and keeping an open mind; with that mentality we felt Nuclear Blast was the most obvious and logical step for a band such as ours. With our team behind us, we can't wait to see Fallujah grow."
JADED STAR Featuring Former Visions of Atlantis And Iced Earth Members Sign With Sensory RECORDS; DEBUT ALBUM COMING SOON:
"We can't put down in words how excited and happy we are for signing with Sensory records, since it's very hard to find these days labels who truly help, support and believe in their bands. Memories From The Future is an album full of energy and emotions and personally, it's the best thing I've done so far. We're all very proud of it and we can't wait to share it with the world. Make sure to listen to it as loud as you can!" -Maxi Nil

"We are very much looking forward to our U.S. tour with our friends in MASTODON. We always enjoy playing live but when we have the opportunity to share the stage with a band as inspiring as MASTODON we know each evening will be that much more special. See ya out there!" -Jean-Paul Gaster
We're Playing Classical Music All Wrong:
"The old musicians understood that there were many aspects of an effective and engaging performance that could not be embodied in the score. Tempo was often expected to be more flexible. Rhythms could be bent in a manner we still hear in jazz and other types of popular music. Notes weren’t always be taken cleanly, but often approached with various kinds of slides and tonal inflections."
ROB ZOMBIE - SPOOKSHOW INTERNATIONAL LIVE DUE IN FEBRUARY:
"It's been eight years since our last live album. So we figured it was time for another. Actually we weren't planning on it, but we recorded a few shows and they sounded really great so we thought 'fuck it' let's get it out there. For the record no overdubs, no fixes, no fake crowd, no nothing. 100% absolutely live. No joke." -Zombie
The Bloodline (Ex-Dirge Within/Broken Hope, Etc.) Debut “With Fire (Comes Absolution)” Lyric Video:
Their debut album “We Are One“ will be released on March 24th, 2015 via Another Century Records.
Scott Weiland Doesn’t Intend To Tour With New Supergroup Art Of Anarchy:
"I just saw some press about a side project called art of anarchy that I worked on last year – I wrote and put my vocals down for these guys and had fun doing a couple of videos too, we had a lot of fun. When they find their front man to hit the road and play some dates, check them out. In the meantime, if you want to check out where I’m at RIGHT NOW, check out my band, SCOTT WEILAND AND THE WILDABOUTS. I couldn’t be more excited about our new record, Blaster, that comes out March 31st. You can see us on the road starting in Feb, and at Sundance next week and SXSW in March. Here's some footage of us in the studio performing White Lightning and a new song called Circles." -Weiland
Agnostic Front Tap Madball, H2O & Sick Of It All Members For New Album “The American Dream Died”:
“We chose this title cause we want to open up people’s eyes to what’s going on in this country. We have a lot to say. Not everyone realizes that our government and the people who run this country are so corrupt, greedy and ruthless. We need to educate the ones we reach. We’re losing our values. We address real issues from full blown corruption and scandals to unjust police abuse and brutality. Everything we stood for as a country is going down the drain. But we still somewhat have our freedom of speech. We’re expressing it all through this record while we can.” -Roger Miret
Zakk Wylde Launching His Own Line Of Guitars, Amps And Accessories:
"From the various photos that have been released thus far, it appears that there will be a Master 100 amp head and a guitar with Bullseye finish.
Wylde Audio is making its debut at at a private, off-site location during this weekend's NAMM Show in Anaheim, California."

Sony, Google, Apple Hit With Lawsuits Over Pre-1972 Music:
"The legal opening happened because when Congress amended the copyright laws in the 1970s to cover sound recordings, it only protected those authored after Feb. 15, 1972 under federal law. Since then, a wide variety of music users including TV broadcasters, terrestrial radio and bars and restaurants throughout the nation have performed pre-'72 sound recordings without much legal trouble. As for digital radio, most operators assumed being covered by compulsory fees established by the Digital Performance Right in Sound Recordings Act of 1995 and collected through SoundExchange, even if the money wasn't flowing to the owners of pre-'72 music."
“We’re increasingly looking for projects that qualify as television events and these harrowing true stories of courageous young men and women who found love, in spite of the heinousness of slavery, certainly does that. Furthermore, the idea of also developing this into a Broadway musical with Stevie Wonder is very exciting as we look to expand the scope of our live stage business.

“We chose this title cause we want to open up people’s eyes to what’s going on in this country. We have a lot to say. Not everyone realizes that our government and the people who run this country are so corrupt, greedy and ruthless. We need to educate the ones we reach. We’re losing our values. We address real issues from full blown corruption and scandals to unjust police abuse and brutality. Everything we stood for as a country is going down the drain. But we still somewhat have our freedom of speech. We’re expressing it all through this record while we can.” -Roger Miret

Sony, Google, Apple Hit With Lawsuits Over Pre-1972 Music:
"The legal opening happened because when Congress amended the copyright laws in the 1970s to cover sound recordings, it only protected those authored after Feb. 15, 1972 under federal law. Since then, a wide variety of music users including TV broadcasters, terrestrial radio and bars and restaurants throughout the nation have performed pre-'72 sound recordings without much legal trouble. As for digital radio, most operators assumed being covered by compulsory fees established by the Digital Performance Right in Sound Recordings Act of 1995 and collected through SoundExchange, even if the money wasn't flowing to the owners of pre-'72 music."
