Making search more musical - Official Google Blog

Making search more musical - Official Google Blog: "Every day we get millions of search queries about music. You want to know more about your favorite artists, find that new album or iconic song or figure out the name of that tune stuck in your head. In fact, according to Insights for Search, two of the top 10 queries in the U.S. are music-related. But often, if your answer is in a song, it can take a while to get there. We call this "time to result" - and we're always looking for ways to reduce it. Today, we're rolling out a search feature that does just that by enabling you to search and more easily discover millions of songs, all via a simple Google web search. If you're searching for music, "time to result" is really "time to music." Now, when you enter a music-related query - like the name of a song, artist or album - your search results will include links to an audio preview of those songs provided by our music search partners MySpace (which just acquired iLike) or Lala. When you click the result you'll be able to listen to an audio preview of the song directly from one of those partners" Google says the music search features will be rolling out 'gradually to users across the U.S. over the next day.'

Who Shot Rock & Roll: A Photographic History, 1955 to the Present

Who Shot Rock & Roll is the first major museum exhibition on rock and roll to put photographers in the foreground, acknowledging their creative and collaborative role in the history of rock music. From its earliest days, rock and roll was captured in photographs that personalized, and frequently eroticized, the musicians, creating a visual identity for the genre. The photographers were handmaidens to the rock-and-roll revolution, and their images communicate the social and cultural transformations that rock has fostered since the1950s. The exhibition is in six sections: rare and revealing images taken behind the scenes; tender snapshots of young musicians at the beginnings of their careers; exhilarating photographs of live performances that display the energy, passion, style, and sex appeal of the band on stage; powerful images of the crowds and fans that are often evocative of historic paintings; portraits revealing the soul and creativity, rather than the surface and celebrity, of the musicians; and conceptual images and album covers highlighting the collaborative efforts between the image makers and the musicians. Who Shot Rock & Roll: A Photographic History, 1955 to the Present is organized by the Brooklyn Museum with guest curator Gail Buckland. October 30, 2009-January 31, 2010

iTunes LP broken for indie record labels?

"There's word from an indie record-label that iTunes LPs are not for the indies. Introduced at Apple's "It's Only Rock and Roll" event in September, the iTunes LP format adds bigger than a matchbook album art, song lyrics, video clips, and other extra content to albums sold through the iTunes store. Brian McKinney of Chicago-based label Chocolate Lab Records saw some promise in the new format and started looking into the idea of producing for iTunes LPs himself. But the truly small labels may have a hard time getting in"

Dutch music rights association plans to charge $32 per embedded YouTube video

"Buma/Stemra, a Dutch collective rights society that represents the interests of copyright holders (some 19,000 composers, authors and publishers), is the topic of the day in the Dutch blogosphere and beyond. The association has managed to wield itself into the eye of the storm because of the introduction of new, exorbitantly high digital music licensing fees, and its stated willingness to fine bloggers up to €21,6 (roughly $31.8) per music video they dare embed on their websites or blogs" - TechCrunch

The Rolling Stones have been named the bookies' favourites to headline the final night of next year's sell-out Glastonbury Festival

Tickets for the event were snapped up within hours of going on sale, despite none of the acts being announced until next year. Bookmaker William Hill places the Stones as 4/1 favourites to play top of the bill on the Sunday night next year, with Coldplay and David Bowie at 8/1. Rumours are also circulating that Beyonce and U2 could play the most famous music festival on earth. "We have lost a few quid on the headline act for two years running and it will be interesting to see if punters get it right again," said William Hill spokesman Rupert Adams.
