Jimi Hendrix's Voodoo Child has 'best guitar riff'

Jimi Hendrix's Voodoo Child has been named the greatest guitar riff of all time, 41 years after it was recorded, in a poll by website Music Radar. It beat Guns N' Roses song Sweet Child O' Mine, which came second in the poll. Music Radar's editor, Mike Goldsmith, called Hendrix the "undisputed heavyweight champion of rock guitar". Led Zeppelin's Whole Lotta Love, Deep Purple's Smoke On The Water and Layla by Derek and the Dominos also featured in the top five. Riffs from older songs seem to be more popular, as only two from the past decade made it into the top 20

This band is so gorgeous! - a documentary about Sham 69 in China

"What happened when Sham 69 took punk to China? There develops a tale of conflict and camaraderie; of middle aged mores and midnight crises. We get a story of survival and self belief; of determination and defiance. And we witness a country in flux and a nation's youth ready to burst out of its' confines..."

Best of Twitter tunes album released

"The tunes may be a little avant-garde for most tastes. They're unlikely to give Britney Spears and Beyoncé a run for their money, but are impressive achievements all the same. Musical twitterers have found a way to condense entire compositions to fit in single, 140-character tweets. The trend started earlier this year when Dan Stowell, a composer and computer scientist at Queen Mary, University of London, encoded the sound of waves crashing on the shore using the programming language SuperCollider and then tweeted the results. Other users of the micro-blogging site responded by devising and posting their own compositions. Now a free to download, best-of album of 22 #Twitter tunes has been released, entitled sc140" - New Scientist

MySpace Music launches charts

From MySpace Blog: "Every artist aspires to be #1. The music platform on MySpace was built on the belief that if you provide artists with the right tools to properly market themselves then the opportunities are endless -and we understood from the very beginning that data would be one of the most important tools we could offer. Over these past few months we've gone under the hood to take a closer look at the intelligence underlining the MySpace Music platform and we've been focused on making it cleaner, more meaningful and more accessible to artists. With last month's beta launch of our new Artist Dashboard we now provide a comprehensive analytics tool to help give artists and labels useful intelligence about what's resonating with fans and how their content is being socialized throughout MySpace. Continuing that momentum, today marks the beta launch of MySpace Music Charts - a new global product that creates multiple front doors into the discovery of popular music content across all genres. Whether you're a hip hop act, an unsigned progressive rock band or the next electronica sensation in Germany - there's a chart for that"

Copyright time bomb set to disrupt music, publishing industries

"The late ’70s, when punk exploded and disco imploded, were tumultuous years for the music industry. A time bomb embedded in legislation from that era, the U.S. Copyright Act of 1976, could bring another round of tumult to the business, due to provisions that allow authors or their heirs to terminate copyright grants - or at the very least renegotiate much sweeter deals by threatening to do so. At a time when record labels and, to a lesser extent, music publishers, find themselves in the midst of an unprecedented contraction, the last thing they need is to start losing valuable copyrights to '50s, '60s, '70s and '80s music, much of which still sells as well or better than more recently released fare. Nonetheless, the wheels are already in motion" - Wired

Paul McCartney named recipient of Third Library of Congress Gershwin Prize for Popular Song

Librarian of Congress James H. Billington today named music legend Paul McCartney as the recipient of the third Library of Congress Gershwin Prize for Popular Song. An all-star tribute concert is planned for spring 2010. "As a great admirer of the Gershwins’ songs, I am highly honored to be given the Gershwin Prize by such a great institution as the Library of Congress," McCartney said. The prize commemorates George and Ira Gershwin, the legendary American songwriting team whose extensive manuscript collections reside in the Library of Congress. The prize is awarded to musicians whose lifetime contributions in the field of popular song exemplify the standard of excellence associated with the Gershwins. The Gershwin Prize is also meant to draw attention to the musical collections in the Library of Congress, especially the vast popular-music collection, and to encourage students, teachers, scholars and researchers to use this free public resource in their scholarly investigations.

Universal / TuneCore's Indie Project

"The road to indie artist fame and fortune got a fast lane this week with the launch of four new Web sites designed to aid up-and-coming artists distribute their music as well as attract the attention of recording industry players. The new sites are the latest developments resulting from the relationship between major label Universal Music Group and music distributor TuneCore, which distributes, for a fee, indie artists' music to online music services. The sites - UniMoDigitalDistribution.com, InterscopeDigitalDistribution.com, Republicdd.com and IDJFirstLook.com - have similar functions in that they enable new artists, through TuneCore, to distribute their music to online stores such as iTunes, Rhapsody, Amazon MP3, Shockhound, eMusic and Napster." - Pollstar

Officials to restore birthplace of Robert Johnson

The mystery surrounding bluesman Robert Johnson's life and death feeds the lingering fascination with his work. There's the myth he sold his soul to the devil to create his haunting guitar intonations. There's the dispute over where he died after his alleged poisoning by a jealous man in 1938. Three different markers claim to be the site of his demise. His birthplace, however, has been verified. The seminal bluesman came into the world in 1911 in a well-crafted home built by his stepfather in the Mississippi town of Hazlehurst. Now, 71 years after his death, local officials want to restore the home in hopes of drawing Johnson fans and their tourism dollars to Copiah County, about 100 miles from the Delta region that most bluesmen called home

Illegal downloaders 'spend the most on music', says poll (UK)

"People who illegally download music from the internet also spend more money on music than anyone else, according to a new study. The survey, published today, found that those who admit illegally downloading music spent an average of £77 a year on music – £33 more than those who claim that they never download music dishonestly. The findings suggest that plans by the Secretary of State for Business, Peter Mandelson, to crack down on illegal downloaders by threatening to cut their internet connections with a "three strikes and you're out" rule could harm the music industry by punishing its core customers. An estimated seven million UK users download files illegally every year. The record industry's trade association, the British Phonographic Industry (BPI), believes this copyright infringement will cost the industry £200m this year. The poll, which surveyed 1,000 16- to 50-year-olds with internet access, found that one in 10 people admit to downloading music illegally"
