Bob was a resource for more famous vocalists than me. He provided me with a few different pieces over the years. Bob's still around but Michael Feinstein took his collection off to Indiana to be held in an archive there. It was great to be able to call Bob up and get a xerox of sheet music at a price I could afford. I'm proud that I was able to stump him a couple times with my obscure requests. - Spidra Webster from Bookmarklet
I just got an email from Bob this morning saying that he loves my album. His favorite tracks are "I Love to Sing" and "The Lady in Red". It's funny how everyone has very different favorites from this album. - Spidra Webster

Dear Musicians – Please Be Brilliant or Get Out of The Way
"I have written this essay as a prelude to the upcoming panels, both to outline my views on the subject in advance, and also as a way to organize my thoughts and past essays into one place. The debate surrounding online music distribution still evokes passion from critics and supporters alike, the most vocal being musicians who believe that I am working to make music free online and therefore deny them income from CD sales. Nothing could be further from the truth, I simply argue that musicians need to monetize everything around their musical output and stop dreaming that CD sales will one day return to previous levels; where the 2009 equation means 100k is the new 1mm, 10k is the new 100k etc. I should point out for the record that I am focusing almost exclusively on non-mainstream, independent musicians. [Although there is no reason at all that mainstream, commercial artists shouldn't be doing the same thing.]" - Rob Michael (Atmos Trio) from Bookmarklet

Record Labels Face $60 Billion Damages for Pirating Artists | TorrentFreak
"While the major record labels were dragging file-sharers and BitTorrent sites to court for copyright infringement, they were themselves being sued by a conglomerate of artists for exactly the same offenses. Warner, Sony BMG, EMI and Universal face up to $60 billion in damages for pirating a massive 300,000 tracks." - Fulaan from Bookmarklet

Artists' lawsuit: major record labels are the real pirates
Between $50 million and $60 billion may be owed to musicians and artists in Canada, but not from your run-of-the-mill file sharers. The Canadian recording industry itself is being accused of massive copyright infringement, and the list of miffed artists just keeps getting longer. - Rob Michael (Atmos Trio) from Bookmarklet

Grand Opening Set For Performing Arts Center - Newsroom - Inside INdiana Business with Gerry Dick - http://www.insideindianabusiness.com/newsite...
"The Regional Performing Arts Center Foundation announced today that the grand opening for its 1,600-seat concert hall will be held on Jan. 29, 2011. The world-class concert hall will also serve as an education center and museum for the Michael Feinstein Foundation, housing the rare memorabilia and manuscripts of The Great American Songbook Collection. “We’re pleased to announce the date of our gala grand opening, which represents the culmination of over 10 years of planning,” said Executive Director Steven Libman. “We are excited about spending the next 14 months completing construction on the concert hall, building staff, and planning for the gala as well as the premiere season. It is an eventful and exciting time that will give our entire community a momentous event to look forward to.” Libman and the newly appointed Artistic Director and Founder of The Great American Songbook Museum, Michael Feinstein, are planning a weeklong celebration to mark the grand opening. Festivities will... more... - Spidra Webster from Bookmarklet
Feinstein secured San Franciscan Bob Grimes' extensive sheet music collection for this archive. While I'm happy the collection will be preserved even after Bob is gone, it sucks for Bay Area vocalists that it's going away. What sucks even more is that it was already packed up and taken away even though the center isn't ready yet. So a huge resource for local musicians, esp. vocalists, is gone. - Spidra Webster

My $62.47 Royalty Statement: How Major Labels Cook the Books with Digital Downloads - Major Labels - Gizmodo
"I got something in the mail last week I'd been wanting for years: a Too Much Joy royalty statement from Warner Brothers that finally included our digital earnings. Though our catalog has been out of print physically since the late-1990s, the three albums we released on Giant/WB have been available digitally for about five years. Yet the royalty statements I received every six months kept insisting we had zero income, and our unrecouped balance ($395,277.18!)* stubbornly remained the same. Now, I don't ever expect that unrecouped balance to turn into a positive number, but since the band had been seeing thousands of dollars in digital royalties each year from IODA for the four indie albums we control ourselves, I figured five years' worth of digital income from our far more popular major label albums would at least make a small dent in the figure. Our IODA royalties during that time had totaled about $12,000 – not a princely sum, but enough to suggest that the total haul over the same... more... - Spidra Webster from Bookmarklet

...Ancak İsveç'teki kazadan ve Burton'un ölümünden sonra şarkı Burton'la bütünleşmiştir ayrıca cenazesinde de bu şarkı çalınmıştır. Bu şarkı Cliff'in bas gitardaki ustalığını kanıtlayan bir belge durumundadır. #MRZ_Playlist

Orion: Metallica'nın Master Of Puppets albümünündeki tek enstrümental parçanın adıdır. Parça kaydedildiği dönemde Cliff Burton'un uzaya ve gökcisimlerine olan ilgisi nedeniyle Cliff Burton tarafından yazılmıştır ve parçanın büyük kısmında Burton'un besteleri, riffleri ve soloları bulunmaktadır. - "MackRulZ"

1:28'de giren bass gitar riff'i tam bir gazdır. 6:19'da giren solo lead gitardan değil bass gitardan gelmektedir.. cliff bass gitarla solo atan ve wah pedalı kullanan tek bascıydı. - "MackRulZ"
Jason Newsted'in onun için söyledikleri: "Yeri sarsan stili ile bas gitarın Hendrix'i idi." İlk senelerde gruptan atılan Dave Mustaine: "O, metal'in yeni Steve Harris'i idi. - "MackRulZ"

Starting Bands or Small Restaurants  |   Modern Folk
As I see it, deciding to start a band these days is quite similar to deciding to start a small restaurant. Your friends have always loved the food you cook, maybe you’ve even won a few local contests. Maybe you’ve taken classes and traveled to new countries to learn the local cuisines. At work, all you think about is getting home to try a new recipe. You come to realize this is your passion and so you decide it’s time to make a living out of your culinary talents. Very cool, life is short. - Rob Michael (Atmos Trio) from Bookmarklet
