If You Have Hate in Your Heart,
Author: Andy21 Dec
let it out…
With the (not so sudden) surge in popularity among social networking sites (i.e. myspace, facebook), came a sense of insincerity among “friends.”
Now, you can express your hatred a la applications such as enemybook, or sites like hatebook and snubster!
These sites are perfect stomping grounds for misanthropes, curmudgeons and “anyone who happens to have a serious distaste for a person or persons.”
Facebook currently boasts roughly 59 million users, while snubster has about 16,000 users worldwide.
Universal Music Partners with Imeem
Author: James10 Dec
Universal Music has signed a deal to make their music available to Imeem users. With the signing of the deal, Imeem now has partnerships with all four major labels, including Warner Brothers, EMI and Sony BMG.
Imeem users can stream songs in full from partner-labels, who get a cut thanks to advertising. As of now, Imeem gains an edge over competitor MySpace because Universal allows only for the streaming of 90-second clips to members of that online social network.
Universal Music Chair and Chief Executive Doug Morris explains the reasons for treating the two sites differently as follows:
“Imeem has developed an innovative way to make our artists’ music a central part of the social-networking experience,” Morris said. “More importantly, they’ve done so the right way–by working with [Universal] to provide an exciting musical experience for consumers, while ensuring that our artists are fairly compensated for the use of their works.”
Just When You Thought the Music Industry Was Starting to “Get” It…
Author: Daniel Taylor4 Dec
Universal Music Group, the largest of the big three major labels, is forcing all of its bands to take down the full versions of songs on their myspace profiles and replace them with 90 second samplers. From Wired:
Word on the grapevine is that this policy was enacted about six months ago, but that in many cases, artists were only recently notified. Universal has limited the music by artists on all of its labels to posting only 90 second samples on MySpace and other third-party sites, unless they have a contract with Universal that allows them to stream the full song on-demand. (Labels can also choose to add an audio tag to the beginning and end of the audio files rather than limiting songs to 90 seconds, but most are going with the 90-second sample option.) The policy applies to any site where music can be embedded, except for Universal’s own official sites, which still offer free on-demand streaming of certain complete songs.
uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Dumb. If you’re one of the lopdicks at UMG who thought this up, let’s talk in about 6 months and see how thing work out. That is, if you’re still around…
I have a big crush on Del from To Catch A Predator
Author: Molly Death8 Nov
Hey there, remember when To Catch A Predator went to Riverside, CA and had a woman act like a 13-year-old boy to lure in creepy old men so Chris Hanson could pwn them?
Her name is Del Harvey, and she’s pretty much my ideal woman.
I also found her MySpace. Afterwards I neglected to take any further action because I would imagine she has a strong aversion to people who solicit other people on the Internet with romantic interests. Plus, I’m really shy, even on the Internet.
Avenged Sevenfold, in studio preview
Author: James17 Aug
Other than Zacky Vengeance being able to rip off a good Iron Maiden riff here and there, Avenged Sevenfold sucks balls. But they sell a lot of albums and get taken along on big ass tours so somebody’s gotta be buying this crap. Maybe it’s you. If it is, and you care, go check out the second installment of their in-studio “teaser,” which has been posted on my favorite site YouTube.
You can also listen to a clip of their new song on their MySpace page. I won’t, but you sure could.
