In order to sell your originally recorded tunes in the past you had to have a recording company to get the music on the radio for you.
You were tied to a contract, using their A&R people to select the material, and tied to a studio they approved with producers that they hired. Very little creative control stayed with the artist, until they reached the higher point in their career where their demands would be met by the label executives.
Today’s music world is totally different. Although home recording has been around since Read the rest of this entry »

MTV. Music Television. That’s how it was introduced to the world in 1981. The words “Ladies and Gentlemen, rock and roll” were heard. And the first music video ever shown was The Buggles’ “Video Killed the Radio Star”. So what killed MTV?

Before MTV there were teen magazines. These magazines were the portal to your music idols. You could see pictures of them, read about their personal lives, and get as close to them as you could without being at a concert. Then MTV came along. It was a whole new world where you could watch your favorite singer or band badly lip-synching to a silly, more often than not cheesy, music video. But they were as live as you could get without front seat tickets.

Then along came the internet and reality TV. On the internet you can pop up any music star you want, hear their songs, watch them in concert, or just stalk their lives and find out everything you want to know. Reality TV gave people a chance to watch “real” people living their every day lives in front of the camera. How could a fake music video ever live up to that?

The 80′s were a time when hearing your favorite song was not the same without seeing the video that made it so exciting. The videos were what made the songs popular, sadly many that should not have been popular in the first place. But everyone watched just the same. Even if you were watching the same videos over and over, as was the case when MTV started.

At least the often asked question of “How can they call it Music Television when they don’t play any music?” can finally be put to rest. MTV has, sadly, removed the “Music Television” from it’s logo.

From Jethro Tull to Smells Like Teen Spirit, the Grammy Awards certainly have a reputation for not always getting it right. This year was no different with a few decisions that really make your head spin when you think about them.

While Katy Perry boasted nominations in just about every category she was eligible for it was certainly surprising to see another current pop icon get snubbed completely. With multiple hit singles and an album with huge sales you would think that Keha would be right Read the rest of this entry »

Arcade Fire is quickly becoming one of the most influential bands of our generation. Especially with the commercial success that came with their 2010 album, The Suburbs. But what comes next for this one-time unknown Indie rock band?
This is definitely a question the band themselves are struggling with. The 53rd annual Grammy awards brought them a level of popularity and fame that they had definitely not been expecting. However, they want to avoid the pitfall of so many bands before them, the mainstream music business. Because Arcade Fire has floated beneath the mainstream radar for so Read the rest of this entry »

The most valuable rock guitar player on the scene would indisputably be Eric Clapton. Eric began playing the guitar at age 13 as a blues performer. In 1962, he explored the rock and roll scene and transitioned into the rock genre.

At the age of 17, Eric joined his first band. After it dispersed, Eric was recruited by the Yardbirds. He was the most talked about guitar player on the rock circuit. After joining the Bluesbreakers in 1965, Eric earned the nickname, “God” from an Read the rest of this entry »
