Nashville music scene fractured by culture wars, lineups changed after political disputes: ‘Doors are shut’ | Fox News

Posted on September 20, 2023 By webcatt_admin

Of course the ‘stars’ are well trained, shall we say groomed. The weaker brained one will let the grooming go deep. Others will have a clear understanding of what is being done to them and how they are being used. They will rebel. Good.

Romeo Entertainment Group President R.J. Romeo agreed that the industry is “not immune” from the concerns of the larger country.”There’s more divisiveness in the country now than ever before. That’s going to show up in opinions on music and everything,” he said.Most notable entertainers go through extensive media and public relations training. Often, their responses are controlled and measured, but the temptations of social media and heated discourse have led artists to show more of their true selves, or “less polished” selves, as Romero described it.

AI, a new kind of music ‘venue’, stage, performer, or all 3?

Definitely music. A tall glass of slurp. A developing relationship with oneself.

No matter how I look at these surreal new images and animations coming out of ‘AI’ studios around the world, they’re mesmerizing. I squint, glance, peer, and there is always something new to see. A young budtender told me recently that audiences today want hits. Lots of hits to the brain. Images and hooks every 30 seconds/minutes or less. These artworks fit that bill with a bullet.

These works, done this way, with archetypal and seriously detailed subjects are leading us into a 5D world most people aren’t ready for. The animations leave me with a whiff of vertigo and I’m taken with how many times I can watch them over and over and still pick out new stuff. When there’s the right music accompaniment, the effect is ten-fold. I’m just looking forward to actually being one of these smiling, morphing, winking, alluring creatures myself one day, or at least meet one on some secret beach. Maybe it’s already happening and I don’t know it, or I’ve forgotten; like Jodie Foster in Contact. Maybe I too can remind myself in a dream. Anything’s possible.

Denmark Street: London’s Street of Sound — Paradise Road

Posted on September 16, 2023 By webcatt_admin

Important times for music. It will come back. It will. It really will….

Depending on your age, Denmark Street is checking the walls for band members-wanted notices; drooling over the displays of guitars in the music-shop windows; bourbon-tinged nights at the 12 Bar; unearthing out-of-print volumes on Dylan at Helter Skelter; collecting autographs outside the offices of Acid Jazz Records; eavesdropping on journalists conducting interviews at the Gioconda. For musicians and songwriters, Denmark Street was nothing less than the gateway into the business. Britain’s own Tin Pan Alley, Denmark Street was at one time alive with the sound of hammered pianos, and sung melodies and choruses. Its songwriters knocked out tunes on the fly and rushed to the street to sell them to pay for the next round of drinks. The street’s importance was such that the Melody Maker and the New Musical Express were both started here. The street’s heyday was the 1960s however, when musicians would shop for guitars in between visiting managers and publishers or recording in one of the studios. The Rolling Stones and The Kinks came here, so did Donovan and Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton and Elton John, Jimi Hendrix and Jeff Beck. A popular dive was La Gioconda, a cafe/bar in which most members of the nascent R&B revolution visited at some point or other – David Bowie was said to practically live there.In later years, the street declined in importance – although when Malcolm McLaren was looking for a rehearsal space for the Sex Pistols he was delighted to find room in Denmark Street, installing his upstarts in the heart of the traditional music industry like Greek soldiers inside the Trojan Horse. The street continues its music associations, mainly in the form of its many instrument shops. How long it can retain that heritage in the face of the rapacious demands of the London property market combined with the way we play and consume music, remains to be seen.The story of Denmark Street, London’s street of sound, is the story of popular music in Britain, and the people who made, bought and sold it.

Bjork’s blockchain-based music project breathes life into a dying industry

Posted on August 10, 2023August 23, 2023 By Editor

This isn’t about jumping on a bandwagon or trying to get rich quick. It’s about doing things where you use blockchain and the crypto benefits in ways that people haven’t thought of yet. And in this case, very much led by Björk and her team’s creative vision for what this technology can do.

David Byrne and Broadway Musicians’ Union Reach Hiring Agreement for Here Lies Love

Posted on June 9, 2023September 18, 2023 By Editor

I have a Talking Heads in 78 story I will tell… one day. That’s one pissed David Byrne

Responding to criticism in The New York Times, a spokesperson for the production claimed that the decision to use pre-recorded music was “part of the karaoke genre inherent to the musical and the production concept.” Byrne issued a statement of his own defending the production choices, explaining the “dance club track-act immersion” as part of the show’s nontraditional staging. “The performance of the live vocals to pre-recorded, artificial tracks is paramount to its artistic concept. Production has ripped out the seats in the theater and built a dance floor. There is no longer a proscenium stage,” he wrote in part.
