Amanda Ghost, Blunt-collaborator-turned-head -of-Epic-turned-xx-collaborato r, got a broadly sympathetic profiling and interview in yesterday's Guardian Film & Music: Sony remains confident enough in her business acumen and knack for spotting talent to enter a joint venture with her new label, Outsiders, allowing Ghost to take Oh Land, a new-school Madonna by way of Björk and Lady Gaga, with her. The Dane was Ghost's first signing at Epic, but her single, Wolf and I, will become Outsiders's first release next month, funded by Sony. Ghost continues to work with Sony-signed artists including Beyoncé, Shakira and John Legend – her [...]
Courtney Holt, who was president of MySpace Music, has decided to follow the herd and has stepped down from the role. He's not being replaced , either, with MySpace CEO Mike Jones taking responsibility for Music, too, which pretty much looks like a "keeping it going until someone takes it over or kills it off" position. MySpace Music still does pretty good numbers in terms of visitors in the US, but hasn't been able to turn the ears into anything saleable; to add insult to injury, half-assed YouTube spin-off Vevo now outstrips it for visitors.

EMI has filled the hole at the top by taking on Bertrand Bodson as SVP, global digital marketing . Bodson used to look after DVD rentals business in Europe (no, apparently they have one) before moving on to co-found Bragster. Yes, yes you do. Bragster.com. You can dare your friends on it and everything. It's like YouTube, but with everything but the show-offs removed. It's Bodson's skill at making Bragster such a household name that has brought him to EMI, to do for old EMI songs what he did for people wanting to dare other [...]
William Joyce William Joyce, the man with the famous nickname 'Lord Haw Haw', is Britain's most well-known traitor, of relatively recent times anyway. He had a catchphrase as famous as any comedian's and to cap it all he had a facial disfigurement in the form of a terrible scar that marked him as a villainous traitor as if the words themselves was tattooed across his forehead. Saying all that, a lot of people have argued that he shouldn't have been convicted of treason at all, let alone be executed for the crime. [...]
Lunchtime post today, featuring another tune from the BC indie-rock ensemble Pink Mountaintops . Execution can be found on the group's 2009 release Outside Love , and is a great example of the shoegazing sound that the band can conjure up; the vibe in this song reminds me a lot of the My Bloody Valentine track Sometimes , which can be heard here . Though not short-listed, Outside Love did make it onto this year's long-list for the Polaris Music Prize . [...]
El colectivo canadiense Pink Mountaintops acaba de presentar el vídeo de su canción "Execution" , el más reciente sencillo de su tercera producción Outside Love . Este básicamente presenta a las chicas tocando la canción en medio de un mar de lámparas que prenden y apagan al ritmo de la melodía (idea que al menos yo recuerdo ya haber visto en un par de ocasiones). Francamente me parece que tocan con toda la flojera del mundo (aunque puede que ese sea sólo su estilo) y la canción no es necesariamente cautivadora, [...]

Yeah! What a month we had last month! Traveling to and fro, stumbling on some of the most unique musical creatures that could pull themselves from the primordial sludge of cyberspace . . . damn! I love the internet! Get yourselves seated, Waveriders . . . we're about to do it all over again. The flight plan looks to have us cruising through France (what a surprise), Austria, Sweden, Norway, Canada, and then back to the friendly, or menacing (depends how hard you squint) faces of the folks in the good ole U.S. of A. So, we hope you have [...]
If only I had a range of made-up prizes to share out, like Gordon's 'Shagger Of The Year' prize, I'd be reaching into my sack to give Bizarre one today, for giving an unlikely lead story to Seasick Steve . It's unexpected, and it's quite a nice piece: The former hobo told me: "I didn't even know what the Brits was. My record label had to explain it to me. I thought they were joking." That's a wonderful quote. They can add it to the press releases, right after someone from the BPI tries to [...]

Music journalist, executive and producer Jerry Wexler died earlier today . Born in 1917, to an emigre Pole, Wexler had initially adopted journalism as a career after his mandated spell in the US Army. He joined Billboard in 1947, staying for four years - during this time coining the phrase "rhythm and blues" - before turning gamekeeper and joining a promotions company. Within a year, Ahmet Ertegun was sounding him out for a role at Atlantic Records; Wexler refused, holding out for a partnership. By 1953, Ertegun had come round to Wexler's way of thinking and sold [...]
So, The Beat! passed off this weekend at The Hideaway. We've got some things to add to the blog from there. Thanks very much to everyone who came, Sierra Nevada who gave us loads of beer, Simon from The Sigma who came and played an acoustic set for us and the beautiful Girls in the Garage who introduced us to this blinding track of vocal bliss and spiraling piano by Australia's Executives.
