  • TREE of CLUES: a Packet for Popheads
    TREE OF CLUES: a packet for popheads Written by Kevin Kodama 1. In one song by this artist, a background clicking noise slows down as she sings “I found another way / To caress my day”. One of this artist’s videos is a single shot of her as both a giant goddess and tiny dancers that slowly zooms out. A track by this artist that she described as “a medieval march through the destruction of a relationship” laments “I never thought that you would be the one to tie me down”. This artist asks “Why don’t I do it for you” in a video that showcases her pole-dancing skills, and she explained a part of her name as “a selection of letters that sounded... masculine and strong”. For ten points, name this artist who released “Cellophane” for her 2019 album MAGDALENE. ​ ​ ANSWER: FKA twigs (accept Taliah Debrett Barnett) ​ ​ ​ ​ 2. This song’s heavily ad-libbed bridge includes the James Brown-inspired lyric “Good God! I can’t help it!”. In the music video for this song, the artist crawls on the ground sporting white polka dotted lipstick. This song begins with a series of tongue clicking and a breathy “yeah” along with some funky guitars. The video for this song uses pink, purple, and blue lighting in a scene where the artist runs between a male flirt and Tessa Thompson. This song’s artist describes herself as “an emotional sexual bender”, which is a nod to her pansexuality. For ten points, name this top r/popheads track of 2018, a Janelle Monae song that was the lead single for the album Dirty Computer.

Consumer Products, the world’s No. 5 ranked licensor. Plus: Retail Sales Top $262 Billion Disney Reports Record Growth 12 Licensors Join the List Do your royalty statements tell the whole story? Frankly, almost never. Even the most professional looking royalty statements can mask issues resulting in unreported royalties. Often there is a lack of visibility with actual gross sales, the amount or type of deductions is not transparent; and sales territories, channels and customers are undisclosed. Additionally, unapproved products are not highlighted, unexploited rights remain dormant and hidden, and other issues are not revealed. These are real and costly problems that only a royalty compliance audit can make right. Avoid falling into royalty statement fiction. Let the Royalty Audit and Contract Compliance professionals at EisnerAmper take a close look at your royalty statements.

  • Ten Crisis Communications Tips for Small Businesses During COVID-19
    Ten Crisis Communications Tips for Small Businesses During COVID-19 Nancy Marshall, the PR Maven® Ten Crisis Communications Tips for Small Businesses During COVID-19 Many businesses and organizations have chosen to go dark during COVID19. They think people aren't paying attention, and that it's too difcult to cut through the clutter of the non-stop news and updates on the virus and governmental mandates. So they're not posting anything new on their website or social media, and they're not issuing press releases or buying ads. Now is not the time to go dark. Now is the time to shine the light on others. It's time to serve your audience, whether your audience consists of a classroom of third graders or a million fans of your brand. And it's time to show your humanity toward those who are suffering because of this worldwide health crisis. If you have something to offer your audience, now's the time to share it with them. Run your offer through the lens of service Can you serve your audience by: Giving them hope? Selling them a product that they can use now, or that they can use as part of their post-COVID19 life? Educating them about something they're interested in learning? Entertaining them with a song, a performance, or a story? Giving them a respite from all the serious news with a good belly laugh? People are in their homes and consuming more media than ever before. They're watching more television shows and movies, and surng the web more than ever.
