I thought this article was pretty interesting, where US artists want to receive royalties for their songs being played on the radio. Here is the beginning of the article: Not sure how to feel about this one. What do you guys think? Should artists be getting royalties for their song being played on the radio? Artists want royalties for song being played on the radio

Call me indecisive but I cannot pick just one so..... If you were asked what your 5 favorite albums are what would you say?

" Digital downloads had a short run as the top-selling format in the music industry. It took until 2011, a decade after the original iPod came out, for their sales surpass those of CDs and vinyl records, and they were overtaken by music streaming services just a few years later. Now, digital downloads are once again being outsold by CDs and vinyl, according to the Recording Industry Association of America. The RIAA released its 2017 year-end revenue report on Thursday, showing that revenue from digital downloads plummeted 25 percent to $1.3 billion over the previous year. Revenue from physical products, by contrast, fell 4 percent to $1.5 billion. …

Astor Piazzolla - Tango: Zero Hour Rarely does music move me to tears, but "Concierto Para Quinteto" may be the most beautiful thing I've ever heard. Astor Piazzolla was the most important composer of the style of music referred to as tango nuevo, literally "new tango." His specific brand of tango nuevo could be described as tango in form, but heavily influenced by classical and jazz in its use of harmony and counterpoint. I don't know anything about the tango, but now I want to learn more. If anyone here at HC is well-versed in tango & tango nuevo, I'd appreciate any recommendations. For the rest of you, if Astor Piazzolla's music doesn't affect you, you're beyond…

Following up from Reks' cool trombone-music thread, I thought I would throw out a request for more jazz titles led by or featuring baritone sax. I came across a random but cool website, http://www.jazzbarisax.com/ that has some great leads and such, but this crowd has some good musical taste and knowledge. Here are a couple of my own favorites to start off: Serge Chaloff: Gerry Mulligan: James Carter featured with the Ginger Baker DJQ2O (Denver Jazz Quintet to Octet): That last disc is a favorite in general and James Carter wails on the first track, Cyril Davis, and three other cuts as well. So, whadya got?

Found this on the other site here. I used it to nab some Scottish Chamber Orchestra Beethoven. Just under $20 for a 24/96 studio master isn't bad I reckon. TW622P94 Linn Records - specialists in Classical, Jazz and Celtic music

http://www.nytimes.c...dies-at-70.html "Nick Ashford, who with Valerie Simpson, his songwriting partner and later wife, wrote some of Motown’s biggest hits, like “ and “http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eEcLuVhRbkU,” and later recorded their own hits and toured as a duo, died Monday at a hospital in New York City. He was 70 and lived in Manhattan."

If it's time to spring ahead, it's time for SXSW. I'm getting an early start at listening to the featured bands on their YouTube channel.

Though its a band I don't listen to that much, maybe because I lost all of their CDs over the years, but TMBG has consistently been one of my all time favorite bands since I was 13 years old. Back then I only had ears for bands like Metallica, GNR, Slayer, and Pantera, but somehow TMBG squirmed their way in there. They spoke to my dorky metal heart in a way no band really has since, except maybe Phish. Anyone else a fan? I never see any TMBG in the WAYLT thread so I thought I'd ask.

Any Bay Area head-casers going to the April Sonny Rollins concert in Berkeley? http://www.calperfs.berkeley.edu/presents/season/2007/jazz/sr.php If there are, we should meet up and grab a beer or something.

All of the sudden I have become very interested in the Pre-Beethoven composers. It started with Bach's Mass In B-Minor (Gardiner) and moved on some of Haydn's symphonies (Sir Colin Davis). Beyond that all I have is whatever Mozart and Bach shows up on the Living Stereo releases. So any classical period or even earlier stuff you could recommend would be wonderful. I'm looking for specific recording recommendations, rather then "get mozart's 40th" type recommendations. Here is a small wish list I've compiled from various sources: Amazon.com: Jack Johnson: Classical Period Thanks!

I just started to mess around with the online radio stations with the SB3. Just curious what your favorite online radio stations are? I'm mostly interested in jazz, classical, blues and experimental rock but any and all suggestions are welcome.

Interesting news on several levels. Here's a link to the story. I really like Gavin's drumming, and it would be really interesting to hear him with King Crimson, but I really hope he doesn't leave Porcupine Tree permanently!

I've been listening to Public Enemy A LOT lately and it made me realize that the hip-hop DJ has become something of a lost art. Most mainstream rappers are using more electronics than the traditional TT>Mixer>TT setup, and turntablism, well, that's another beast altogether. It seems to me that the simplicity of early hip-hop has for the most part been swept to the side in favour of more complex beats and melodies. This isn't a bad thing, really, but it did get me thinking about earlier prominent DJs like Terminator X, The Biz, Yella, Muggs and Lethal, who were all about the beat, setting up simple sets for the boys on the mic to shine through. I'm focusing o…

Looking to Get AJA. Should I get the remaster or the original CD (c. 1990)? The MoFi one is just too expensive on the open market.

OK found the site livephish.com for phish experts out there, any here that are standouts for me to start with? eg, any from the Live Phish I-XX series worthwhile? I may start with the one where they cover Quadrophenia. There's just too much here to wade through. Also I much prefer the live albums, but any must-own studio albums?

Hey guys I set my turntable up with a new cartridge tonight, dialed in all the settings, connected my phono stage and verified that everything works. However all I have to test it is a slightly warped and slightly dirty 45 rpm from 1972. Where are some good online sources for vinyl? I need at least a few reference albums to get rolling.

I'll start: Inu (contemporary indie/alternapop, new project from former Halou member)

Interesting story regarding Rutherford Chang and his collection of numbered Beatles albums. I understand that it's more of a multi media art presentation but for the casual onlooker, it's almost cult like! http://www.dustandgrooves.com/rutherford-chang-we-buy-white-albums/
