    Journal: Radiohead: In Rainbows to be given away on October 10, by puddlegum.

    Extract:

    Radiohead is shocking the industry by giving away their new album, In Rainbows, asking fans to pay what they want. “It’s up to you,” reads their website, to decide what the album is worth. Radiohead is only charging a minimum payment of 45 pence to cover credit card handling fees according to the Telegraph’s report.

    Extract:

    Darkroom, from Winona Lake, Indiana (and not to be confused with the British band from the 1980s) writes expressive and spacious epic rock, and performs frequently in the Midwest region. They toured for four weeks this summer along the East Coast, but decided to pull back a bit with two member changes to sort through.

    Journal: Radiohead's fight to keep the album alive, by puddlegum.

    Extract:

    Because Radiohead believes in the concept of the album. The record industry continues to push for the next hit song and loosing sight of the album, Radiohead would argue. Ringtones and singles have created an expectation that every song should be catchy. When looking at a band like Radiohead, their songs are strengthened when nested in the weavings of the album.

    Entertainment: Radiohead website crashes as fans rush to order album

    Radiohead's official website was back online last night after overwhelming demand for the band's new album caused it to crash. Traffic on the site slowed to a crawl after the rock group told fans on Monday that they could pre-order the new release, In Rainbows, from www.radiohead.com at any price they wanted.

    The 10-track album will be available to download from 10 October, with a £40 "discbox" version including two CDs, two records, artwork and booklets following on 3 December.

    [The band's spokesman, Murray Chalmers, said] "Although the idea is that you can decide what you want to pay, most people are deciding on a normal retail price, with very few trying to buy it for a penny."

    Extract:


    In November, Blonde Redhead will tour Europe, supporting Interpol. Though some would argue that Blonde Redhead deserves the majority of the stage time, Blonde Redhead will open the concerts with several songs. The Italian twin brothers, Amadeo Pace, Simone Pace, and Kazu Makino, from Japan, will travel down well-known roads: Portugal, Spain, Italy, Switzerland, Germany, Holland, France, Belgium, and England.

    Sci/Tech: Record Companies Win Music Sharing Trial

    The recording industry won a key fight Thursday against illegal music downloading when a federal jury found a Minnesota woman shared copyrighted music online and levied $220,000 in damages against her.

    Record companies have filed some 26,000 lawsuits since 2003 over file-sharing, which has hurt sales because it allows people to get music for free instead of paying for recordings in stores.

    This was the first such case to go to trial. Many other defendants have settled by paying the companies a few thousand dollars.

    The jury ordered Jammie Thomas, 30, to pay the six record companies that sued her $9,250 for each of 24 songs they focused on in the case. They had alleged she shared 1,702 songs in all.

    The companies accused Thomas, 30, of Brainerd, of offering the songs online through a Kazaa file-sharing account. She denied wrongdoing and testified that she didn't have a Kazaa account.

    During the three-day trial, the record companies presented evidence they said showed the copyrighted songs were offered by a Kazaa user under the name "tereastarr."

    Their witnesses, including officials from an Internet provider and a security firm, testified that the Internet address used by "tereastarr" belonged to Thomas.

    Journal: Club 8, by popgurl.

    Extract:

    Take, for instance, the single Whatever You Want, from their excellent new album The Boy Who Couldn't Stop Dreaming. Full of light cheery sounds, though the lyrics aren't so upbeat (theirs never are), and just as calming as a song could be.

    Journal: The Perishers Are Back!! / Victorious, by champersnova.

    Extract:

    So, The Perishers is one of those eagerly anticipated bands for me - to release a new album finally!! FOUR years!

    Victorious is everything I was expecting from The Perishers. A musical meditation full of broken-hearted sentimental lyrics and doping ballads. This is a total follow-up to first two albums with noticable improvements in sound and arrangement such as very little electonic crumbs assessing notes together. I think producer Per Sunding (Junior Senior, The Cardigans) deserves a credit here. Clearly, it was a good idea working with him in the make of Victorious.

    Journal: Top Five Reasons why Vinyl will outlive CDs, by puddlegum

    Journal: Top Five Reasons why Vinyl will outlive CDs, by puddlegum.

    Extract:

    Reason #1: Vinyl has outlived every other music medium.

    Vinyl records have been manufactured in eight formats since 1894. During the past 113 years, the music industry has seen numerous formats rise and fall. Consider the media formats that have come and gone: reel-to-reel, eight tracks, cassette tapes, mini-discs.

    In 1948 the first 12 inch vinyl record was manufactured, solidifying the concept of the album. For the first time, listeners could enjoy 23 minutes of continuous music without having to flip the album over or load the next single. Artists began to record numerous songs, typically 14, and packaged them together as one concept. Other music formats continued this approach, but none have fully embodied the album concept in the same way that vinyl has.

    Forever Like Red - Distance

    Amazon

    Forever Like Red are an band ready to pick up from where Coldplay left off before they got Gwynnied, got massive and put out polished perfection.

    Distance is out now on Echo records. There is still work to do in terms of pulling everything together, but there are sure signs this is a supergroup in the making. Assuming they get the attention they deserve. Otherwise, they'll go the way of Thirteen Senses, which would be a shame.
