In order to be considered, your band must not be signed to a RIAA/IFPI affiliated label. Phibble Radio only supports unsigned/indie-signed artists only. The Problem With IFPI’s ReportJanuary 25, 2010
Piracy has been around since the ability to record was invented. Sharing is the best way to experience content, whether it’s music, books or video (film/tv). The report says that only one in four illegal file-sharers actually purchase music. I question how they can actually track that, but let’s assume that number is valid. They should look at why that number is so low. Is it because they just want it for free? Is it because the music just sucks and it’s not worth the money? I don’t have the answer, but if I’m a guy at a major label, or the IFPI, I’d want to spend some time to find out why, rather than just say “it’s the piracy”. As Internet usage grows, major media continues to FIGHT it’s influence instead of embracing it. Recently, Warner Bros. struck a deal with Netflix that new releases will be delayed 28 days. Many studios are also trying to do the same thing with RedBox. This logic proves they don’t care about what the consumer wants, only what they want. Why do they think that by delaying a movie 28 days that I’ll go buy it? People do not have an unlimited supply of cash to spend on entertainment. Here’s some points I think the music industry should be considering: What are your thoughts? Let us know in the comments. Scorpions End 45 Year RunJanuary 24, 2010 The German band Scorpions, known for hits like Holiday, Rock You Like A Hurricane and Winds Of Change, have announced that after the upcoming tour and record, they will call it quits. A message posted to their fans states:
"It was always our pleasure, our purpose in life, our passion and we were fortunate enough to make music for you - whether it was live on stage or in the studio, creating new songs. While we were working on our album these past few months, we could literally feel how powerful and creative our work was – and how much fun we were still having, in the process. But there was also something else: We want to end the Scorpion’s extraordinary career on a high note. We are extremely grateful for the fact that we still have the same passion for music we’ve always had since the beginning. This is why, especially now, we agree we have reached the end of the road. We finish our career with an album we consider to be one of the best we have ever recorded and with a tour that will start in our home country Germany and take us to five different continents over the next few years. We want you, our fans, to be the first to know about this. Thank you for your never-ending support throughout the years! We uploaded the very first snippets from our new album on our website for you. And now… let’s get the party started and get ready for a “Sting in the Tail”! See you on the world tour,
Yours The snippets referenced in the message are about 35 seconds long. "Raised On Rock" sounds like what the band has been releasing lately, nothing new or exciting. The other track; "The Good Die Young" sounds a lot like the Scorpions I love- less poppy, and sounds like it might be a lost track from the Lovedrive days. The Lighthouse Rocks show will be closing out the show with "Blackout" performed live by the band Halford. The show was recorded before this news was made public. What is your favorite Scorpion song, and how long have you been a fan? Let us know in the comments.
