“I’m in many, many rappers songs. And I know them. 50 Cent is sort of a friend of mine. I mean, he likes me. He just did a show. It was a copy of ‘The Apprentice.’ It will fail because he’s not Trump, but he’s actually a nice guy. And P. Diddy did a show which, by the way, I think bombed, but it was a copy. I wrote him a little note, ‘Good luck with the copy.’â€
A Grafton woman has been arrested and booked for failing to pay her library fines. Heidi Dalibor, 20, told the News Graphic in Cedarburg she ignored the library’s calls and letters as well as a notice to appear in court. Still, she was surprised when officers with a warrant knocked on her door, cuffed her and took her to the police station to be fingerprinted and photographed. Police Capt. Joe Gabrish saied officers follow the same procedure with every warrant. The incident cost Dalibor about $30 for the overdue paperbacks “White Oleander” and “Angels and Demons” and her mother nearly $172 to get her out of custody.
Lets face it, most people are not buying music anymore. Why? It’s simple. Why would you buy something that you can get for free. In other words why would a fan buy an artists record when they can simply download it from the thousands of bloggers that are sharing music via file sharing sites. This an issue that the Music Industry needs to face, point blank.
While artists and record companies complain about the their fans disloyalty to the artist, they are failing to adapt to a new era of music consumption. It is beneficial for an artist or record labels to have as much exposure as possible. Yet Some still fail to see the value of having their music pirated or given away for free.
It may even be true that there is a positive correlation between illegal downloads/free give-aways and higher records sales.
Let’s take the example of Lil Wayne. Over the past few years, Wayne has been releasing an unprecedented amount of material which has either been given away for free, or illegally pirated via the internet and mix-tapes. His latest album release the Carter III, was leaked all over the internet, yet sold over a million copies in its first week release. The question is why? It is possible that the pirating of his music served as a marketing tool? Read the rest of this entry
One of the founding fathers of rock ’n’ roll has left the building he
helped construct. Bo Diddley, aged 79, died of heart failure today at
his home in Archer, Fl where he resided for over 20 years.
With Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Elvis Presley, Fats Domino and Jerry
Lee Lewis, Diddley (born Ellas Otha Bates) was one of music’s
principal architects in the mid-1950s. The guitarist-singer-songwriter
scored major pop hits with “Bo Diddley†and “I’m a Man†in 1955 and
“Say Man†(1959) and made an almost incalculable impact on rock from
the Fifties onward. His music influenced artists working in such
disparate styles as rockabilly, British Invasion pop, surf,
psychedelic, hip-hop and punk rock.
Diddley is most often cited for his signature “Bo Diddley beat,†a
syncopated 5/4 pattern similar to the West African-derived “hamboneâ€
rhythm or “Shave and a haircut two-bits†couplet. Over the years,
Diddley variously claimed to have adapted the beat from music he heard
in church, from trying to play the Gene Autry song “Jingle Jangle†and
from attempting to play his guitar like a drum. Whatever its origins,
the taut, rumba-like beat has powered literally hundreds of rock and
pop records, everything from Buddy Holly’s “Not Fade Away†and the
Who’s “Magic Bus†to Tom Petty’s “American Girl,†George Michael’s
“Faith†and Bruce Springsteen’s “She’s the One.†A half dozen key
Diddley compositions have held down prized spots in the repertoire of
thousands of performing artists for decades.
