Remember Rock Band’s “No Exclusive Deal” Policy?
Tue Sep 30 2008 by Dan Gibson
It seems like just a few months ago when we complimented Harmonix audio director Eric Brosious for his company’s stance against artist exclusive deals. Back in those halcyon days of August, Brosious said of the possibility of bands signing exclusive deals with Rock Band, “We prefer not to sign exclusive deals with artists because while it seems like the competitive ‘business’ thing to do, in the long run, it’s really not good for anyone. We think we should be working to get more music out to more people.” Well, August was a long time ago, and when Angus Young calls, you pick up the phone.

Clever Holy Fuck Headline Ruined By Polaris Prize Committee

Last night’s Polaris Prize ceremony in Toronto had a vastly better outcome than the Canadian Idol final, in that it selected a talented winner who won’t likely embarrass the entire nation. Congratulations to Caribou, the one-man project of doctor of mathematics and electronic music artist Dan Snaith.

Cheap MP3s Continue To Flow Through Eastern Europe
Tue Sep 30 2008 by Maura
Those of you who possess the capacity to remember things may recall the Russian site AllOfMP3, which sold MP3s for dirt-cheap prices to those people who weren’t wary of handing their Diners Club cards over to servers in the former Soviet Union. That site was shut down in the summer of 2007, but it would seem that a year later, a successor has popped up: Meet MP3Count.com, which is a project of the Ukranian company «Best Music» Ltd., and which claims to remunerate artists under a copyright statute that has a lot of letters in its name–even though it only costs users $2 or $3 to download an album. But is MP3Count.com really that big a deal in the grand scheme of things, even though it’s got the usual suspects slobbering over its low price points?
