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.

    Deftones’ new release, ‘Gore’, has been called a departure from the group’s recent albums— somber and a little less optimistic.

  • Upheaval Records Interview
    Upheaval Records Interview This is the second interview in a series of Canadian record labels, and this is one of my all time favorite record labels! Everything released by this dude was amazing! And it definitely stands the test of time! Dan actually has copies left of the New Day Rising 7″, Lockjaw CD and Day of Mourning CD. You can email him to acquire some copies for your own. The complete Upheaval Records discography includes: UR-666 – New Day Rising double 7” (1996) – Less than 2000 copies UP002CD – Ignorance Never Settles“Cycles of Consumption” (1996) – 1000 copies UP003CD – Lockjaw “A Lesson in Hate” (1997) – Less than 1000 UP004CD – Day of Mourning “Reborn as the Enemy” (1998) – 1000 copies UR-666 – New Day Rising double 7” (1996) UP002CD – Ignorance Never Settles “Cycles of Consumption” (1996) UP003CD – Lockjaw “A Lesson in Hate” (1997) UP004CD – Day of Mourning “Reborn as the Enemy” (1998) Instead of using the label logo, Upheaval Records used this definition on the outside of the New Day Rising 7″ -When was the label formed and where was it located originally? The label was formed in 1996. I ran it out of Hamilton. At first, I would trade my releases with other labels from all over the world, so the whole room would be just packed with records. It was kind of neat where it was my fantasy equivalent to business people who dream of wanting to roll around in money. I didn’t actually want to roll around in records, but I loved having boxes of them everywhere.

  • Postmodern Jukebox Performing Live at Mesa Arts Center November 27, 2016
    Media Contact: Casey Blake 480-644-6620 [email protected] Postmodern Jukebox Performing Live at Mesa Arts Center November 27, 2016 Mesa, AZ (April 19, 2016) – Scott Bradlee’s Postmodern Jukebox (PMJ) have announced a 45- date North American headlining tour which includes a one-night-only performance at Mesa Arts Center on Sunday, November 27 at 7:00 p.m. Fans can pre-order tickets Wednesday, April 20 via PMJ’s official site, postmodernjukebox.com. Tickets go on sale to the general public on Friday, April 22 at 10:00 a.m. and will be available at Mesa Arts Center’s Box Office, at mesaartscenter.com and by calling 480-644-6500. The tour follows PMJ’s current 75-date almost completely sold-out international run, which wraps this June. In 2015, the group's sold-out tours of Australia and the United States prompted the Buffalo News to proclaim, “Postmodern Jukebox is literally a postmodern success, extending its reach from the virtual to the real world, touring and performing around the globe for an ever-growing fan base.” Created by Bradlee, the rotating collective of Postmodern Jukebox has spent the past few years amassing more than 450 million YouTube views and 1.9 million subscribers, performed on “Good Morning America,” topped iTunes and Billboard charts and played hundreds of shows to packed-house crowds around the world. As NPR put it, they’ve done this by “taking current Top 40 hits and re-imagining them as coming from older eras of popular music.” In one such remake, Bradlee and Postmodern Jukebox turned Miley Cyrus’ “We Can’t Stop” into a doo-wop ditty that’s garnered over 15.4 million views.

  • Deftones - Ohms Episode 196
    Song Exploder Deftones - Ohms Episode 196 Hrishikesh: You’re listening to Song Exploder, where musicians take apart their songs and piece by piece tell the story of how they were made. My name is Hrishikesh Hirway. (“Ohms” by DEFTONES) Hrishikesh: This episode contains explicit language. Deftones are a Grammy-winning band from Sacramento who’ve sold over ten million albums. Their ninth album came out this year on September 25th, 2020. It’s called Ohms, and the last track on it is also called “Ohms.” In this episode, singer Chino Moreno breaks down how that song came together, and how they literally went back to where things started in order to create the music. (“Ohms” by DEFTONES) Hrishikesh: Here’s Chino Moreno on how “Ohms” got started. Chino: My name is Chino Moreno. (Music fades out) Chino: The first time I heard anything of it was a email that I received from Stephen Carpenter, who plays guitar. He sent this demo and I remember I was travelling, and I was on my way to Yellowstone National Park. And I remember like my wife was getting mad at me because I don’t have unlimited data so like I was downloading stuff like using my cellular network. And she was like “Why are you downloading stuff right now? We’re going to run out of data!” But I had already got like two thirds of the way through so I just continued on. This was probably three or so years ago out of the blue. He rarely sends me demos because a lot of our music is really written like when all of us are in the same room.
