ALL FOR THE ARTISTS!! - Carlos Morgado

So, will they sue Amazon or Discogs or musicstack.com and those online stores for selling rarities too? - Marcos Marado

Also, I feel it is simply unbelievable that CDs without UPC can't be sold in Canada... I can easily name more than 10 *Canadian labels* that sell their CDs without UPC... - Marcos Marado

"The most important music of the '00s as chosen by more than 100 artists, critics and industry insiders" - Miguel Caetano from Bookmarklet

"This oft-referenced article is from the early '90s, and originally appeared in Maximum Rock 'n' Roll magazine. While some of the information and figures listed here are dated, it is still a useful and informative article. And no, we don't know how to reach Steve Albini." - Marcos Marado from Bookmarklet

"These A & R guys are not allowed to write contracts. What they do is present the band with a letter of intent, or "deal memo," which loosely states some terms, and affirms that the band will sign with the label once a contract has been agreed on. The spookiest thing about this harmless sounding little memo, is that it is, for all legal purposes, a binding document. That is, once the... more... - Marcos Marado

"Because MOG is licensing content directly from copyright owners, there are big gaps from artists who simply don't want to participate in online music. The usual suspects like AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, and the Beatles are mostly missing in action. There are also strange gaps elsewhere. For instance, half the songs on the Pixies' "Surfer Rosa" are unplayable. Compared with Grooveshark, which relies on user-posted content, MOG has too many holes. And of course, Grooveshark remains free (although a $3/month subscription gets you a version without advertisements). " - Miguel Caetano

Let's have one in Portugal, I say! - Marcos Marado from fftogo

With whose APIs and with what sponsors? ;-) On the other hand, I think a small event concerning Arduino, circuit bending and hardware tinkering is quite possible. - Miguel Caetano

There might be some grammatical inconsistencies but overall I'm pretty satisfied with the experience of writing this article. It gave me some confidence on my English skills ;-) - Miguel Caetano

"If, as current conventional wisdom maintains, "TV is the new radio" in terms of influencing record sales, then "The Oprah Winfrey Show" is the equivalent of a 100,000-watt Mexican border radio station. This fall, Winfrey's popular afternoon talker, which claims an average daily viewership of 6.2 million, played a key role in sending new CD titles to the top slot of the U.S. album charts. Oprah's Book Club, which has pushed new and even backlist titles up the bestseller list, has wielded the same kind of retail clout. Call it "the Oprah Effect." And everyone in music covets it." - Miguel Caetano from Bookmarklet

Bom, nesse caso deveriam ter escrito "O Rádio Blitz"... E, sim, o podcast seria sempre de criar... - paula simoes ☃

"Yesterday, The Daily Swarm introduced you to the first posts by Idolator’s new editors, Robbie and Becky. Its a tough job—abruptly taking over the spot from the site’s beloved founder and more recently sole blogger—made all the more difficult because Idolator’s loyal readers weren’t even given the courtesy of a formal introduction. So since Becky and Robbie can’t be bothered to let on exactly who they are, we’ll do it for them…" - Miguel Caetano from Bookmarklet

I'm going to unsubscribe and unfollow @Idolator right now! - Miguel Caetano

Done deal! - Miguel Caetano

"The cuts won’t mean a retreat from digital investment, the company said: Guardian editor Alan Rusbridger, also editor-in-chief of GNM, told staff he “completely believes” in the value of print, but added: “For me, the question is not ‘are we putting too much energy, focus or resource into digital?’ It is ‘are we doing enough?’” GNM MD Tim Brooks said that some Guardian.co.uk revenue streams, such as recruitment ads, were more resilient than others and are expected to return to growth soon; digital display revenue is showing year-on-year growth this fall, he said." - Miguel Caetano

"Nearly every person at any show these days is going to have some form of camera with them, be it a point-and-shoot, an iPhone or some other camera phone, and it seems that there is almost no way to imagine keeping all those devices out. That new reality is forcing an increasing number of bands to come to grips with the fact that they can't really control the images from their shows, and that, for the most part, they're better off letting fans cram Facebook and Flickr with such pictures anyway." - Miguel Caetano from Bookmarklet

"We’ll cover how the album was recorded in another post. Tonight I’m just going to talk about what happened after I got involved. At that point the album was basically complete, they had a couple of vocals to finish, some final touches to add, and the mastering process to make it through. Apart from texting Apathy daily asking him when he’d have a master to me and if we’d really be able to release by October 27th, I wasn’t involved in the creation of the album, just the marketing and release." - Miguel Caetano

"In the war against albums being illegally uploaded on to the internet before they are released, David Tibet of the underground band Current 93 may have struck a minor, if resounding, victory. "This is a promotional CD," announces a little girl on the promo copy of Current 93's new album Aleph at Hallucinatory Mountain. "Anyone illegally selling, copying, uploading or downloading this material is condemned to eternal hellfire. Happy listening, God is love." Then Tibet – a devout Christian with strong views about the impending apocalypse – intones "murder" over a guitar riff heavy enough to terrify Satan. It makes you wonder whether a casual upload is really worth being cast into Hades for." - Marcos Marado from Bookmarklet

quem são os "conhecidos" ? estou a ficar curiosa... - Susana Sousa
