Brown, 64, who had been denied parole five times in the past, will be released in four to six weeks after four of the five Tennessee Board of Parole members voted to parole. Brown was sentenced to two consecutive 99-year sentences for the murders along with his cousin Doug Brown, who later died in prison. http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/6273995/gloria-trevi-interview-on-reality-show-a-toda-gloria-prison?utm_source=Sailthru&utm_medium=email&utm_term=biz_breakingnews&utm_campaign=Breaking%20News Delicious/mbtimes/peticker urn:uuid:8821eb73-fe9b-d244-564d-70c525b57acb Tue, 07 Oct 2014 08:35:26 +0000 Trevi is a natural reality-show protagonist. In more than three decades as one of Mexico's most loved (and controversial) celebrities, the flamboyant entertainer has cultivated a life story that borders on urban legend. At15, the Monterrey-born teen left home alone and headed to Mexico City, where she earned money selling gum on street corners and teaching aerobics. By 22, she had not only sold 3 million copies of her debut solo album, but had also nearly been banned from Mexican network Televisa for flashing her underwear on the station's hugely popular variety show Siempre en Domingo (Always on Sunday). ("I told them I could take my underwear off so you don't see them," she recalls. "They said it was too aggressive of an act for a Mexican woman.") http://www.examiner.com/article/monkees-song-at-center-of-royalties-lawsuit-mono-vinyl-box-out-tuesday Delicious/mbtimes/peticker urn:uuid:4da3fb8a-c283-8f15-5103-ffc064151045 Tue, 07 Oct 2014 08:24:35 +0000 The Monkees' 1967 No. 1 hit “Daydream Believer,” composed by John Stewart, is the focus of a lawsuit filed by his widow against EMI Music Publishing for missing payments of royalties on foreign records sales. Stewart died of a brain aneurysm in 2008. The suit says that Stewart had signed an agreement with Screen Gems-Columbia Music in 1967 to get 50% of the publisher's earnings overseas. It alleges that Stewart is owed at least $450,000 because of “accounting slight of hand.” EMI later acquired Screen Gems-Columbia. http://www.digitaltrends.com/home-theater/yamaha-ysp-2500/?utm_source=Digital+Trends+Newsletter&utm_campaign=0156737137-RSS_DAILY_EMAIL_CAMPAIGN&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_a5ea9c36a5-0156737137-367357893 Delicious/mbtimes/peticker urn:uuid:533e6da7-5400-9b62-dee9-ed868aeefaff Tue, 07 Oct 2014 08:20:11 +0000 For those without the space, (or the tools) to put in a full surround sound system, Yamaha has created its “Sound Projector” line of sound bars. Able to create a surprisingly vivid and full sound stage through their use of small directional drivers the company calls “beams”, Yamaha has been steadily expanding its projector technology recently. The new $1,000 YSP-2500 essentially serves as an entry point for Yamaha’s top-tier sound bar systems. Like all of Yamaha’s Sound Projectors, the YSP-2500 uses a blend of directional sound and time delays to bounce sound off the walls of your home theater room in an effort to create a more realistic virtual surround sound effect. https://gigaom.com/2014/10/02/music-industry-piles-on-pandora-files-new-class-action-on-heels-of-siriusxm-victory/?utm_source=GeneralUsers&utm_campaign=f805933dfc-c:mdad:10-05&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_1dd83065c6-f805933dfc-99126377 Delicious/mbtimes/peticker urn:uuid:4c28bc03-5612-b76b-9835-0679502c91ae Tue, 07 Oct 2014 08:11:57 +0000 It’s gold rush time out there for music industry lawyers, who racked up a major court victory recently against SiriusXM, and have now doubled down with a similar lawsuit against digital radio service Pandora. The latest legal action came as the 1960’s duo Flo and Eddie — who performed hits like “It Ain’t Me Babe” with The Turtles — filed a fresh class action complaint in Los Angeles federal court, demanding that Pandora should pay more for playing pre-1972 sound recordings. The legal details are mind-numbing but, broadly stated, the cases turn on a novel legal theory based on state copyright laws — laws that, in the view of many people, were superseded by 1972 updates to the federal Copyright Act. http://www.billboard.com/biz/articles/news/digital-and-mobile/6266779/blend-and-the-orchard-team-on-record-label-with-crowd?utm_source=Sailthru&utm_medium=email&utm_term=biz_digital&utm_campaign=Digital%20Update Delicious/mbtimes/peticker urn:uuid:af08640b-c2e7-27b2-0a1c-d37b5bc6a3e8 Thu, 02 Oct 2014 08:46:58 +0000 Blend, a music collaboration platform used by major electronic producers like Moby and Prefuse 73, has teamed up with independent distributor The Orchard to create a new kind of record label. The partnership will allow users to determine what music makes it into the label’s catalogue via an upvoting system (similar to Facebook “likes”), and will help artists sell their music in major digital stores around the world. http://www.billboard.com/biz/articles/news/digital-and-mobile/6266695/emusic-begins-purging-major-labels-in-renewed-indie?utm_source=Sailthru&utm_medium=email&utm_term=biz_digital&utm_campaign=Digital%20Update Delicious/mbtimes/peticker urn:uuid:ecbfe154-d953-989b-0186-f9033f6f04e1 Thu, 02 Oct 2014 08:44:52 +0000 Pioneering digital music store eMusic has announced a return to its indie roots, telling members that it will no longer sell releases distributed by major labels Sony, Universal and Warner. The site, which launched in 1998 as an online outlet for independent music, but began selling product from the majors in 2009, will alter its focus as early as this week, according to an email to subscribers. https://gigaom.com/2014/09/30/victory-against-grooveshark-shows-music-industry-has-upper-hand-on-sharing-sites/?utm_source=GeneralUsers&utm_campaign=2585f1d637-c:mdad:10-01&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_1dd83065c6-2585f1d637-99126377 Delicious/mbtimes/peticker urn:uuid:f8a8ab5d-5ce2-980f-8cb3-deb361c66571 Thu, 02 Oct 2014 08:39:35 +0000 The music industry has been waging a bitter campaign against song-sharing sites for years and now, for better or worse, the industry is clearly winning. The latest evidence of this came Monday when a New York court ruled that the executives behind Grooveshark, a user-driven streaming site, had violated copyright and destroyed evidence. U.S. District Judge Thomas Griesa found that Grooveshark’s founders had ordered employees to upload thousands of unlicensed songs in order to burnish the site’s popularity. http://www.digitaltrends.com/music/interview-depeche-mode-alumni-vince-clarke-on-modern-synthpop-recording/?utm_source=Digital+Trends+Newsletter&utm_campaign=cda7913355-RSS_DAILY_EMAIL_CAMPAIGN&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_a5ea9c36a5-cda7913355-367357893 Delicious/mbtimes/peticker urn:uuid:9e527d7d-5776-462d-b2c1-ab88d3846ce6 Thu, 02 Oct 2014 08:35:23 +0000 If modesty were the best policy, Vince Clarke would be the king of tranquility. When asked about his indelible influence on today’s burgeoning electronic music scene, Clarke replies, “Our connection with what’s happening now is the fact that we play synthesizers. And that’s it.” He’s really being way too modest. A forefather of the electronic generation, Clarke helped pioneer synthpop http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2775216/Music-executive-stole-650-000-record-label-giant-artists-include-U2-Jennifer-Lopez-jailed-three-years.html Delicious/mbtimes/peticker urn:uuid:aaa933b8-dc84-2659-8736-fe44bdf0dfc3 Wed, 01 Oct 2014 06:08:58 +0000 A music executive who admitted to stealing almost $1.059 million from record label giant Universal Music Group - whose artists include U2 and Prince - was today jailed for three years. Duncan Schwier, the company's former head of global production, swindled the world's largest musical corporation with false invoices for more than a decade. The 52-year-old claimed that he had given most of the money to his colleagues and to charity after a series of medical conditions left him behaving erratically.
