The offer was available for three months, after which the band released and commercialized the album, both digitally and in CD. In this paper, we use weekly music sales data in the US between 2004-2012 to examine the effect of Radiohead’s unorthodox strategy on the band’s al- bum sales. We find that Radiohead’s PYOP offer had no effect on the subsequent CD sales. Interestingly, it yielded higher digital album sales compared to a traditional release.

([email protected]) This PDF file includes: Supplementary Text S1 to S6 Figs. S1 to S7 Tables S1 to S7 1 Supplementary Text S1. Scenarios in Leung et al. (2020) Leung et al. (2020) reported an average of 5 to 17 coughs during the 30-min exhaled breath collection for virus-infected participants (10). Taking the particle size distribution given in Fig. 2, we calculate that one person can emit a total number of 9.31e5 to 2.72e6 particles in a 30 min sampling period. Note that particles > 100 µm were not considered here, and the volume concentrations of particles in the “droplet” mode (2.44e-4 mL, with 4.29e-5 to 2.45e-3 mL in 5% to 95% confidence level) overwhelm those in the “aerosol” mode (7.68e-7 mL, with 3.37e-7 to 5.24e-6 mL in 5% to 95% confidence level). S2. Virus concentration in Leung et al. (2020) Many samples in Leung et al. (2020) return a virus load signal below the detection limit (10). Thus we adopted an alternative approach, using the statistical distribution, i.e., percentage of positive cases, to calculate the virus concentration. Assuming that samples containing more than 2 viruses (Leung et al., 2020 used 100.3# as undetectable values in their statistical analysis) can be detected and the virus number in the samples follows a Poisson distribution, the fraction of positive samples (containing at least 3 viruses) can be calculated with pre-assumed virus concentration per particle volume.

  • Half Light Press
    HALF LIGHT PRESS The Lost Album (2015) Three Imaginary Girls Earlier this summer, I haphazardly found myself observing Half Light during their CD release party that took place at The Comet Tavern in Seattle. At the time I didn’t know anything about them, but I was certainly impressed by the atmospheric and reverb-laden sound that emanated from their amplifiers. Almost two months later, I acquired a copy of their debut album, entitled Sleep More Take More Drugs Do Whatever We Want, and this disc does not disappoint. In fact, it is the best release that I have heard by a Seattle band this year. The members of Half Light are big fans of acoustic and electric based space rock such as Mojave 3, Slowdive, Mazzy Star and The Church. Impressively, they managed to convince Tim Powles, drummer of The Church, to produce this recording. His wonderful production style that weaves a hazy, shimmering cacophony suits this band perfectly as they balance the line between beautiful and chaotic. In Powles’ own words, Half Light "certainly has what many bands dream of, a sound." A unique and memorable sound collage is what they offer their listeners, and the nine songs featured on Sleep More are all one needs to be convinced of this point. Vocalist Dayna Loeffler comes across with a soft and bashful voice that has a slightly raspy quality, which sounds akin to Allison Shaw of Cranes at times. On the track "Barbs," these innate tones are augmented with a heavy reverb production effect. The guitars are also drenched in delay and generous amounts of echo, making the whole thing take on a truly drugged-out in space effect.

  • Raja Mohan 21M.775 Prof. Defrantz from Bronx's Hip-Hop To
    Raja Mohan 21M.775 Prof. DeFrantz From Bronx’s Hip-Hop to Bristol’s Trip-Hop As Tricia Rose describes, the birth of hip-hop occurred in Bronx, a marginalized city, characterized by poverty and congestion, serving as a backdrop for an art form that flourished into an international phenomenon. The city inhabited a black culture suffering from post-war economic effects and was cordoned off from other regions of New York City due to modifications in the highway system, making the people victims of “urban renewal.” (30) Given the opportunity to form new identities in the realm of hip-hop and share their personal accounts and ideologies, similar to traditions in African oral history, these people conceived a movement whose worldwide appeal impacted major events such as the Million Man March. Hip-hop’s enormous influence on the world is undeniable. In the isolated city of Bristol located in England arose a style of music dubbed trip-hop. The origins of trip-hop clearly trace to hip-hop, probably explaining why artists categorized in this genre vehemently oppose to calling their music trip-hop. They argue their music is hip-hop, or perhaps a fresh and original offshoot of hip-hop. Mushroom, a member of the trip-hop band Massive Attack, said, "We called it lover's hip hop. Forget all that trip hop bullshit. There's no difference between what Puffy or Mary J Blige or Common Sense is doing now and what we were doing…” (Bristol Underground Website) Trip-hop can abstractly be defined as music employing hip-hop, soul, dub grooves, jazz samples, and break beat rhythms.
