  • TIDAL EVENTS and GALACTIC ACTIVITY J .B.Hutchings Dominion
    TIDAL EVENTS AND GALACTIC ACTIVITY J .B.Hutchings Dominion Astrophysical Observatory, Victoria, B .C., Canada S .G .Neff NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, MD, USA Summary. We report some results from recent and ongoing work which relate to the connection between nuclear activity and tidal interactions. We suggest that tidal events are in general a necessary but not sufEcient condition for nuclear activation. We also suggest that nuclear activity generally develops at a ‘late stage’ of a tidal encounter, following star- formation and dust evaporation, and when the most obvious morphological disturbances may have disappeared. Table 1 summarizes the quantitative results from four programs which relate to the present topic. The full details are found in the references given. Our summary comments follow: 1. QSO imaging. In an investigation of matched samples of radio-loud and radio- quiet QSOs and radio galaxies, the results (Table 1) indicate disturbances of the host galaxy (indicating tidal encounters) in essentially all radio-luminous objects. (In the QSOs it is harder to see the closest companions and disturbances because of the bright nuclear light source.) The fraction (or strength) of interaction is lower in the radio-quiet QSOs. There is a range of Mv and colour for the host galaxies that makes them significantly different by K-S significance tests. The sense of these differences is consistent with different amounts of star-formation in the three types of object, widespread throughout galaxies with initially similar luminosities. 2. Radio evolution. In the references given, we have argued for a general time sequence of radio source evolution from unresolved (C) to one-sided (CL) to triple (T) structures.

  • Why Music Streaming Services Should Switch to a Per-Subscriber Model
    DIMONT (MEDRANO_10) (DO NOT DELETE) 2/10/2018 10:11 AM Royalty Inequity: Why Music Streaming Services Should Switch to a Per-Subscriber Model JOSEPH DIMONT* Digital music streaming services, like Spotify, Apple Music, and Tidal, currently distribute royalties based on a per-stream model, known as service-centric licensing, while at the same time receive income through subscription fees and advertising revenue. This results in a cross-subsidization between low streaming users and high streaming users, streaming fraud, and a fundamental inequity between the number of subscribers an artist may attract to a service compared to how much they are compensated. Instead, streaming services should distribute royalties by taking each user’s subscription fee and dividing it pro rata based on what the specific user is listening toknown as a subscriber-share modelor user-centric licensing. Many scholars have focused on creating a minimum royalty rate; however, this does little to solve the inherent inequity. Either the music industry should self-regulate by switching to a subscriber-centric model, or the Copyright Royalty Board should make the switch for them. Under a subscriber-centric model, royalty distribution would more accurately reward artists for generating fans, not streams. Each month, the streaming service should take each subscription fee and apportion it out based on the percentages of artists that unique listeners choose to listen to during the subscription period. This change could come through the industry itself, litigation, or regulation, but will likely face resistance from the major record labels and the services themselves. * J.D. Candidate 2018, University of California, Hastings College of the Law.

  • Jay Z to Relaunch Streaming Service As Battle Heats up 30 March 2015
    Jay Z to relaunch streaming service as battle heats up 30 March 2015 Twitter profile pictures to Arctic blue, the color associated with the new service. Streaming—which allows users to play unlimited on- demand music online—has quickly shaken up the industry, narrowly edging out CD sales in revenues last year in the United States. Industry leader Spotify, also from Sweden, says it has 60 million users with 15 million of them paying—generally $10 a month. Unlike Spotify, Tidal does not offer a free service and is twice as expensive, at $19.99 a month.

  • How to Share Your Release with the World
    MusicNSW’s Industry Essentials How to share your release with the world Prepared by GYROstream for MusicNSW Did you know more than 22,000 songs are uploaded to streaming services every day? Getting your music online can seem like a complicated task. It doesn’t have to be though. Below are some tips and tricks to help you navigate the best distribution path for you and your new tunes. What are digital music aggregators / distributors? Digital aggregators (also known as digital distributors) are companies that provide a means to distribute your music globally through digital music stores and streaming platforms. You can’t just upload a track directly to Spotify or Apple Music and have it streamed globally, you need to use a digital music aggregator. If you’re signed to a label, it’s more than likely they’ll distribute your music to Spotify, Apple, iTunes, YouTube Music and more for you, but if you’re independent, you can have exactly the same access to these platforms by using a digital aggregator. Aggregators make their money by charging upfront fees and/or charging a percentage of revenue earned from the streaming and download purchases of your music. In some cases, aggregators will also charge an ongoing annual fee to keep your content online. Who do they distribute to? Nearly all distributors will get your music to Apple, Spotify, Deezer, Youtube (ie. the major western platforms), which together cover a large portion of music listeners worldwide. Where things might differ is for the highly localised services that cater to their specific regions - eg.

  • Chris Young Preps for Watershed Fest with Playlist of Fellow Country Superstars: Carrie Underwood, Garth Brooks & More
    (8.2.19) - https://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/country/8525968/chris-young-watershed- festival-playlist CHRIS YOUNG PREPS FOR WATERSHED FEST WITH PLAYLIST OF FELLOW COUNTRY SUPERSTARS: CARRIE UNDERWOOD, GARTH BROOKS & MORE More than 13 years into his career, Chris Young has shared the stage with several of country's biggest names, from Garth Brooks to Carrie Underwood. This weekend (Aug. 2-4) will be no different for the country star, as he's performing at Washington's Watershed Festival alongside Jason Aldean, Zac Brown Band and Maren Morris. Young will take the fest's main stage tonight (Aug. 2), just before headliner Miranda Lambert and her Pistol Annies. To get amped for his latest festival appearance, Young put together a playlist that celebrates those who have played a role in helping him become the main-stage performer he is today. "I wanted to make a playlist that gave a nod to everyone I have toured with over the years," Young says. "I picked 18 songs by a bunch of artists that have given me an opening spot - and threw in a few of mine for fun." Young picked two of his favorite hits from nine of his fellow country superstars, including Tim McGraw's "Real Good Man," Lambert's "Kerosene" and Montgomery Gentry's "Hillbilly Shoes." And though the crooner's catalog features a handful of romantic tunes, he opted for two of his more party- starting anthems, "Raised on Country" and "Aw Naw." Whether or not you're headed to Watershed this weekend (tickets are still available here), Young's playlist will help you get in the country zone.
