Florence And The Machine are signed by Universal
From today two of the UK's biggest music labels are releasing singles for sale as soon as they are played on the radio. In a move to tackle the problem of piracy Universal and Sony Music will start their "On Air, On Sale" policy.Usually songs are played on radio and TV to drum up hype and interest for up to six weeks before they are released for sale. But this practice has gradually become redundant as wen impatient music lovers now go online to listen instantly to new music and often (ehem) illegally download the songs.With this new policy, the record companies hope that fans will be encouraged to buy the song rather than get a pirated copy as they can get hold of a good quality track straight away.This move follows the success of the X factor in selling the winner's single immediately after the final.Universal Music UK Chairman David Joseph said that the changes are being made because "We live in an immediate world."In his statement he said:"On Air, On Sale is good news for any music fan and exciting for our artists who can now go into the studio knowing they don't have to wait weeks or sometimes months to see the music they have created go on sale."

Jelixa is the fresh new Pop artist out of North Richland Hills, Texas, introducing a new genre of music called "Beta Music". While trying to figure out what genre of music should be used for her up coming debut album, Jelixa's music producer Michael Bell / CEO of Bell Time Records decided to test the market for a new kind of genre called "Beta Music". If you're reading this article you're probably wondering what Beta Music is.
The word "Beta" has several different meanings people could use in a given application. But in the application we're expressing in this article, the word beta will denote "The first version released from a community that developed the the product for the purpose of evaluation or real world testing". Therefore, the phrase "Beta Music" suggest that Jelixa is the first Pop Artist to put a name and face on the diversity and variation of new "unboxed In" music created. Some will no doubt ask, is she really a pop artist, or a house/techno artist? Perhaps she may be a rock artist with a taste of country pop...hmmm? Well, it is possible she could be a funk artist as well....get my drift? Jelixa is an artist of many emotions and stories to tell. There isn't anytime to be put into a box, or a certain genre mode, therefore, "beta music" fits exactly what Jelixa is all about.
You can listen to some of Jelixa's music at: www.jelixapopartist.com. Or you can also stop by her myspace page at: www.myspace.com/jelixapopartist
You will find Jelixa and her music to be very interesting.Jelixa is the fresh new Pop artist out of North Richland Hills, Texas, introducing a... more

Wilco has moved between two Warner Music labels first with Reprise and now it is reported Wilco is leaving Nonesuch. The band plans to start up a label for themselves, but there is no name for the new label yet but the Guardian wonders if it will be named Wilco.
"Wilco's decision to leave Nonesuch is a surprise. The label, an indie subset of Warner Music, rescued the band from the wilderness after Reprise, another Warner subsidiary, decided Yankee Hotel Foxtrot was too experimental to release."-Guardian
Wilco is now a member of a club of bands who have left the major labels to start their own label or venture into strange new projects.Wilco has moved between two Warner Music labels first with Reprise and now it is... more

You can't swing a guitar or the proverbial cat anywhere near the music industry right now and not hear someone's opinion about how artists can and should be making money on their own, with or without a label, with or without people paying for old-fashioned CDs.
I wouldn't mind fewer pie charts and boutique companies cropping up willing to "teach" bands how to do that—for a small cut, of course—and a few more artists like Amanda Fucking Palmer (her moniker of choice) willing to lay it all out like she does in this recent blog:
i ENJOY being the slightly crass, outspoken, crazy-(naked?)-chick-on-a-soapbox holding out a ukulele case of crumpled dollars asking for your money so that someone else a few steps behind me, perhaps some artist of shy and understated temperament, can feel better and maybe a little less nervous when they quietly step up and hold out their hat, fully clothed.
i am shameless, and fearless, when it comes to money and art.
i can’t help it: i come from a street performance background.
i stood almost motionless on a box in harvard square, painted white, relinquishing my fate and income to the goodwill and honor of the passers-by.
i spent years gradually building up a tolerance to the inbuilt shame that society puts on laying your hat/tipjar on the ground and asking the public to support your art.
i was harassed, jeered at, mocked, ignored, insulted, spit at, hated.
i was also applauded, appreciated, protected, loved….all by strangers passing me in the street.
people threw shit at me.
people also came up to me and told me that i’d changed their lives, brightened their day, made them cry.
some people used to yell “GET A FUCKING JOB” from their cars when they drove by me.
i, of course, could not yell back. i was a fucking statue, statues do not yell.
i did this for 5 years, and i made a living that way.
dollar by dollar.
hour by hour.
it was hard fucking work.
and for the last 10 years, i have been working my ass off in a different way: tirelessly making music, traveling the world, connecting with people, trying to keep my balance, almost never taking a break and, frankly, not making a fortune doing it. i still struggle to pay my rent sometimes. i’m still more or less in debt from my last record. i’ll lay it all out for you in another blog. it’s just math.
if you think i’m going to pass up a chance to put my hat back down in front of the collected audience on my virtual sidewalk and ask them to give their hard-earned money directly to me instead of to roadrunner records, warner music group, ticketmaster, and everyone else out there who’s been shamelessly raping both fan and artist for years, you’re crazy.
More threatening than artists talking about money, for my money, is artists talking about their feelings about money.
We worked with Amanda this spring to set up a secret Tweet-up show. She didn't pay us; we didn't pay her (that's how it goes with all our shoots and artists, by the way). We brought our cameras and she'll be in our show, Embedded, airing November 11. We're still not going to pay her for it in any way other than promotion, but she's an artist I'm proud to promote as many times as we can in as many ways as we have.
Watch Amanda sing "Dear Old House" and talk a little about the song on the Current Music blog here.You can't swing a guitar or the proverbial cat anywhere near the music industry... more

Veronica Vasicka is a photographer, musician, DJ and founder of the epic record label and on-line music resource Minimal Wave. As one of the founding members of East Village Radio, she managed the station during its pirate days and began collecting obscure and long forgotten gems that fell somewhere between the Cold Wave, Post Punk and Minimal Synth genres. Not knowing what to classify these bands as, she coined the genre Minimal Wave and set up the website Minimalwave.org as an online resource to share her finds with the rest of the world.
The response to the website was huge and shortly after its launch, Veronica began tracking these artists down and re-issuing their work on the Minimal Wave label. Most of these bands recorded extremely limited copies of their work in their basements and shared their work with the world via John Peel's radio show and a handful of underground music mailings. The music released on the label is a stripped down, DIY and purer approach to mainstream synth pop. Never-the-less, fans of New Wave acts, and bands like Kraftwerk, New Order, and Joy Division who are seeking something a bit different or looking to expand upon the familiar genre, will not be disappointed.
In addition to running Minimal Wave, Veronica launched the Cititrax label as way to expose newer synth-based act as well as obscure House and Italo classics. She DJs bi-monthly around New York City and every Sunday night on her East Village Radio show, Minimal Electronik Plus.

The mass-produced, cookie cutter, bullsh!t "music" that major labels spoonfeed the masses sucks, and so do their new media business practices.

It's unfortunate how all too often amazing musicians get screwed by their record labels. Sly Stone is now living off social security and moves between cheap hotels trying to make ends meet. Maybe he didn't read his contract thoroughly. Artists, especially musicians, should learn by now they need a lawyer with them whenever they sign anything. Thats what we pay lawyers for: read stuff and tell us why we should or should not sign.It's unfortunate how all too often amazing musicians get screwed by their record... more

It's no secret that the reign of the record label is over.

Walter Yetnikoff, the legendary former head of CBS Records, shares his thoughts at a meeting of the American Bar Association on the tendency of record label management to abandon an artist if they don’t meet with immediate success, instead of working through periods of lower album sales (or revenue) to build a lasting market for that artist’s music. He illustrates his argument with an analysis of the career of Bruce Springsteen, who was on CBS during Yetnikoff’s tenure.Walter Yetnikoff, the legendary former head of CBS Records, shares his thoughts at a... more

The Posies' members were barely out of their teens when they got a major-label record deal and saw their power-pop records storm commercial radio. But that was 15 years ago, and they've been absent from the airwaves for a while now. Still, they've managed to continue making a living with music, even through fluctuations in the industry and in their own careers.
That relic dates from an era defined by the music of Kurt Cobain, from the days when major labels raided Washington state's nightclubs in search of the next Nirvana. The Posies were snapped up by Geffen slightly before Nirvana's ascent, and they scored a few '90s hits: "Dream All Day" and "Golden Blunders." The Posies had songs in two definitive '90s movies: Reality Bites and The Basketball Diaries.
"We made a lot of money," Auer says. "I mean, I think we had a $250,000 publishing advance, and I think just off those two movies, we managed to recoup that entire advance and make money on top of that."
But the band still owes Geffen money. At the time, Auer says, he was having too much fun being a rock star to pay attention to all the expenses label reps charged to the band's account.
"If you look at what they send you — eventually — these amazing itemized statements, you're gonna find every hotel room they ever stayed at," Auer says. "I mean, if [an A&R guy] went and bought baseball cards, they probably put it on your account. It was amazing to sit down and look at and realize it was all on your dime, basically."The Posies' members were barely out of their teens when they got a major-label... more

There was a time when most aspiring musicians had the same dream: to sign a deal with a major record label.
Now, with the structure of the music business shifting radically, some industry iconoclasts are sidestepping the music giants and inventing new ways for artists to make and market their music — without ever signing a traditional recording contract.
The latest effort comes from Brian Message, manager of the alternative band Radiohead, which gave away its last album, “In Rainbows,” on the Internet. His venture, called Polyphonic, which was announced this month, will look to invest a few hundred thousand dollars in new and rising artists who are not signed to record deals and then help them create their own direct links to audiences over the Internet.
“Artists are at the point where they realize going back to the old model doesn’t make any sense,” Mr. Message said. “There is a hunger for a new way of doing things.”
Polyphonic and similar new ventures are symptomatic of deep shifts in the music business. The major labels — Sony Music, Warner Music, EMI and Universal Music — no longer have such a firm grip on creating and selling professional music and minting hits with prime placement on the radio.
Much of that has to do with the rise of the Internet as a means of promoting and distributing music. Physical album sales fell 20 percent, to 362.6 million last year, according to Nielsen, while sales of individual digital tracks rose 27 percent, to 1.07 billion, failing to compensate for the drop. Mindful of these changes, in the last few years marquee musicians like Trent Reznor, the Beastie Boys and Barenaked Ladies have created their own artist-run labels and reaped significant rewards by keeping a larger share of their revenue.
Under the Polyphonic model, bands that receive investments from the firm will operate like start-up companies, recording their own music and choosing outside contractors to handle their publicity, merchandise and touring.
Instead of receiving an advance and then possibly reaping royalties later if they have a hit, musicians will share in all the profits from their music and touring. In another departure from tradition in the music business, they will also maintain ownership of their own copyrights and master recordings — meaning they and their heirs can keep earning money from their music.There was a time when most aspiring musicians had the same dream: to sign a deal with... more

Dark Night of the Soul — a project headed up by Danger Mouse, Sparklehorse and David Lynch that features contributions from the Shins’ James Mercer, Black Francis, the Strokes’ Julian Casablancas, the Flaming Lips and Iggy Pop, as well as a 100+ book of Lynch’s photographs — is on sale now at DNotS.com. However, in a weird twist, instead of getting music with the set, buyers instead will receive a blank CD-R.
“All copies will be clearly labeled: ‘For Legal Reasons, enclosed CD-R contains no music. Use it as you will,’ ” a spokesperson for Danger Mouse said. “Due to an ongoing dispute with EMI, Danger Mouse is unable to release the recorded music for Dark Night Of The Soul without fear of being sued by EMI.”
The disagreement between Danger Mouse and EMI likely roots back to the Jay-Z/Beatles mash-up The Grey Album he made in 2004. The brilliant combination of The White Album with The Black Album catapulted DM (real name Brian Burton) from bedroom producer to international star, but it came with a price: it infuriated the massive label group, which controls the rights to the Beatles’ recordings.
Sparklehorse are under contract with EMI, and Danger Mouse produced albums like Gorillaz’s Demon Days and the Good, the Bad and the Queen’s self-titled debut for labels under the EMI umbrella, so it’s unclear why the lawsuit would trouble the release now. “Danger Mouse remains hugely proud of Dark Night Of The Soul and hopes that people lucky enough to hear the music, by whatever means, are as excited by it as he is,” the spokesperson said.Dark Night of the Soul — a project headed up by Danger Mouse, Sparklehorse and... more
