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
