The beat's on some dope jazz ish, it's hella nice, the visuals are pretty neat too and the flow's good enough to cross every language. The MC goes by the name of Kack Norris, and the producer's Mldsfy, its a tight song. Not really sure what the song name's about though. Kack Norris: Soundcloud ~Lork

Former head of Sony, Norio Ohga, has died . Ohga's time at the head of Sony saw him take two decisions which, for good or ill, would shape the music industry for twenty years. He threw the company's weight behind the development of the Compact Disc - which was important - but he also led Sony from being focused on being an electronics company into one that would be an entertainment company. Sony had been running a joint venture with CBS for twenty years, but in 1987 Ohga's company would buy CBS' music business outright. [...]

Michael Jackson Michael [Sony BMG; 2010] Posted by Sean Highkin on 15 December 2010 Given that Michael Jackson spent the last 15 years of his life in more or less total seclusion, it's sort of fitting his first posthumous studio release is surrounded with questions as to whether or not it's even Jackson singing on some of the tracks. Part of me thinks that Sony planted those rumors as a [...]

Según afirma el diario británico The Sun , Chris Martin, Jonny Buckland, Guy Berryman y Will Champion podrían haber firmado uno de los contratos más caros de la historia de la música. Universal Music Publishing habría llegado con la billetera bajo el brazo para convencer a los chicos de Coldplay para que abandonasen Sony BMG, la discográfica con la que llevan desde 1999 y con la que han vendido más de 50 millones de discos. Tras Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends , al grupo sólo le [...]

Bullet For My Valentine Fever Sony BMG 26 April 2010 by Raziq Rauf Bullet for My Valentine are the biggest British metal band since Iron Maiden. That's a statement that (still) rankles the more pernickety metal fan, who continues to claim that, because BFMV focus on huge tunes (and have a penchant for syrupy ballads) rather than huge lyrics, and [...]

Via: Wired NEW YORK (Ben Sheffner for Billboard/Reuters) — Almost a decade after the major labels launched their legal assault on Napster, courts are still writing the rules of the road for the music business's digital future. Companies can't set out to build a business based on their users' infringement of copyright, courts had already ruled. But [...]

Foo Fighters lanzó hace muy poco un grandes éxitos y ahora por las declaraciones de Dave Grohl , el frontman del grupo, nos damos cuenta que nuevamente las discográficas hicieron de los suyo, porque él no estaba de acuerdo con esta producción . El guitarrista y ex baterista de Nirvana comentó que para él este lanzamiento fue muy apresurado ya que considera que los discos de hits no son más que obituarios. Esto lo reveló en una entrevista en la BBC Newsbeat y dijo que el lanzamiento [...]

In occasione di quello che sarebbe stato il settantacinquesimo anno d'età di Elvis Presley , l'etichetta Sony BMG/Legacy Recordings ha deciso di onorare la gloriosa memoria del Re del Rock and Roll attraverso la pubblicazione di uno speciale cofanetto natalizio . All'interno di "Elvis 75: Good Rockin' Tonight" , i fans di The Pelvis troveranno un booklet di 80 pagine con foto di repertorio, un saggio del giornalista Billy Altman e 4 CD con una selezione dei migliori 100 brani eseguiti [...]

MUSIC NEWS - With only video clips and a live performances to satisfy us, the debut album from Them Crooked Vulture , can't come soon enough. Recenlty, frontman Josh Homme spoke with Antiquiet.com at ACLFestival and tipped us all off on news that the TCM debut will be self-titled and that it's due for a release by the end of 2009. He also reported that the album will be out via Interscope Records in the USA and Sony BMG internationally. Apparently, it was Dave Grohl who put [...]

In what seems to be a gobsmackingly obvious move, the major labels in conjunction with digital music retailers like Zune Store, Amazon, Rhapsody and iTunes have announced "Digital 45s" on the 60th anniversary of the 73 45 record. The big announcements are really in conjunction with Apple's iTunes Store that they are calling "D453 and use that nifty logo pictured on the left. Digging through the press-releases shows that Warner Music Group is represented by Rhino which should represent the full compliment of WMG labels which includes Atlantic/Atco, Elektra/Asylum, Warner Brothers, Reprise and Sire- so [...]

On the strength of the unstoppable single "Stanky Legg," which has crisscrossed the country and the globe, the GS Boyz from Texas are primed for their

So I opined on my tech/life blog the other day about SonyBMG screwing the Emusic pooch with the coming really lame catalog from the behemoth label that has such great chart topping artist like Jefferson Airplane, Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Faithless, Kelly Clarkson, Dolly Parton, Judas Priest according to last.fm. Ok I of course like Cash and sorta like blasphemy to not like Elvis but C'mon. Really? Which if you take a close peak at the metrics on last.fm there it equals 420 Million unique listeners for [...]

Sorry for the radio silence kids. Was prepping, then conducting, a video interview this weekend with The Wrens and it took some time. I promise it will be worth the wait. The formula for hilarity is definitely multiple Guinness + (Charles Bissel + Kevin Whelan). From Sunday's New York Times , it seems Sony is going to partner with a BL&L favorite, Emusic . Yay for opening up a whole new bunch of things and getting to dig into Sony's back catalog (more than two years old), sure, and it's great Sony specifically is [...]

Sinead Mulvey & Black Daisy - Etcetera on MUZU . Four Gorgeous Girls, a catchy sing along tune, tinged with some Eurovision whackiness gives the wonderous Sinead Mulvey and her backing band Black Daisy a good chance to get through the semi finals on Thursday for Saturday Nights Eurovision 2009 in Moscow. Etcetera has been written by song writing duo Jonas Gladnikoff from Sweden and Christina Schilling from Denmark. Show your support and pass this round to your mates and get behind this years Irish Entry to Eurovision. Lets hope Sinead and Black Daisy [...]

While Andrew, Carlos and I fight over who gets to review Los Amigos Invisibles' latest album Commercial (out May 26 in the states through Nacional), we're going all gaga-gaga for their collaboration with Natalia Lafourcade in the song "Vivire Para Ti". The track itself is a very traditional collaboration, but nonetheless it's juicy and delicious moment in the already spicy career of Venezuela's most representative act. As far as Natalia's new album goes, we haven't heard the finish product, but everything seems lined up for a masterwork of some kind, plus having Juan Son and Julieta Venegas in [...]

"STANKY LEGG" NATION'S #1 SINGLENew York, NY- In February 2009, an infectious song and its accompanying dance topped BET's 106 & Park video countdown. That song, "Stanky Legg" by a quintet of Texans called the GS Boyz, who are currently signed to Swagg Team/Jive/Battery Records has reached even greater heights. It is now the #1-selling physical single in the U.S for two weeks in a row.

Toronto - Audrye Sessions is a Californian rock quartet consisting of frontman Ryan Karazija, bassist Alicia Marie Campbell, drummer James Leste and guitarist Michael Knox. They've just released their self-titled debum album on the label Black Seal. So what's Black Seal anyway? I've never heard of this label before. It turns out that it's a unit of Sony BMG. While I will admit that you can find this information on the cd case, in teeny weeny print, they certainly don't make it very clear. After doing a little digging, I've found out that Sony owns a bunch [...]

Fascinating post on Song, By Toad , detailing a meeting between Sony BMG and a group of bloggers ( Mr Toad , Winston from Winston's Zen , Jamila from Fucking Dance and Tim from The Blue Walrus. This came about following Winston getting hit by a takedown notice for a track posted on the Zen; the outcome of the meeting is probably best filed under "a good start at opening the lines of communications" - or, as Toad puts it: . It was interesting, certainly, and if it's the start [...]

Well because of the intervention of Homegame this post has been somewhat delayed, so apologies for that, so here we go. Firstly a brief description of the circumstances. A little while ago, London-based Winston's Zen was the victim of another of those DMCA take-down hits . Due to connections he was able to actually get through to the label at the source, Columbia Records, part of Sony BMG, and they invited him in to talk to them and suggested he bring along a couple of other bloggers and make something of a meeting out of [...]
