April 2nd, 2008

Just one of those neat things… You know how when you hear a song you love so often that it just resonates with you, and it doesn’t surprise you when it pops up other places?

Universal Music Buys Sanctuary Records, Signaling Move into Artist Management?

June 21st, 2007

We’ve all watched the sad death spiral of Britain’s Sanctuary Records over the past few years, but I didn’t think it would end up like this:
Universal Music Group purchased the company for about forty U.S. cents per share.

March 22nd, 2007

Via Bob, I learned about this interesting attempt to game the downloadable singles chart, the way that authors often do at Amazon.com. By coordinating a whole lot of purchases through iTunes, the organizers hope to land a podsafe single by a band that has been dumped from two major label contracts onto the charts.
Here’s what [...]
