    Last.fm Wants to Become the Web's MTV 10 May 2007 Online social music site Last.fm is moving into the video realm, adding music videos with a goal of providing every video ever made. The site, which provides music recommendations based on user preferences, will be leveraging its music label relationships to bring artist video content to members. Users who currently sign up at Last.fm site provide it with the names of their favorite artists and the site then generates streaming music recommendations based on those entries. A plug- in also lets the site determine which music users actually play. Listeners then vote on whether they love or hate those recommendations, so that Last.fm has a better idea of what that user might enjoy. Last.fm intends to use the same model for music video content in order to create personalized video channels. The site promises higher quality than that of YouTube, with audio encoded at 128 Kbits/s on Last.fm compared to YouTube's 64 Kbits/s. Last.fm boasts partnerships with major labels like The EMI Group and Warner Music Group in addition to approximately 20,000 independent labels like Ninja Tune, Nettwerk Music Group, Domino, Warp, Atlantic and Mute. The intent is to have every music video ever made available on the site, "from the latest hits to underground obscurities to classics from the past," according to Last.fm. In November of last year, Last.fm launched a system that provides suggestions on upcoming performances based on user location and taste in music.

  • Jovanotti. New York for Life Published on Iitaly.Org (
    Jovanotti. New York For Life Published on iItaly.org (http://108.61.128.93) Jovanotti. New York For Life I A (June 25, 2012) A new CD, new concert dates and other surprises for Jovanotti fans. In the upcoming months there are quite a few surprises in store for fans of Jovanotti [2] (AKA Lorenzo Cherubini), a gigantic star of the Italian music scene for the past quarter of a century. Jovanotti is no longer loved exclusively by his Italian fans, over the course of the past few years Jova has conquered the hearts of the American audience, popping up in intimate, small venues such as New York’s The Poisson Rouge [3] or famous music festivals such as San Francisco’s Stern Grove. [4] Page 1 of 3 Jovanotti. New York For Life Published on iItaly.org (http://108.61.128.93) First and foremost on August 7th, ATO Records [5] will release Jovanotti’s new album titled "ITALIA 1988-2012.” The album is a career retrospective but it includes four new tracks and is also the artist's first physical album of studio recordings to be released in the U.S., and the first time much of the material has been released here in any format. The album producer Ian Brennan compiled and remixed what he considers Jovanotti's most compelling material—the songs that exemplify the latter's reputation as a Springsteen-style rock poet and a distinctive singer. Jovanotti laughingly reacted to some of Brennan's choices with, "Are you sure I recorded that song?" The new songs on the CD are: "New York for Life" and "Con La Luce Negli Occhi," and radical re-workings of Jovanotti's songs "La Porta É Aperta" (from the Ora album) and"Mezzogiorno" (from the Safari album).

  • Summer in the City. Dance to the Rhythm of Jovanotti's Funky Beat! Published on Iitaly.Org (
    Summer in the City. Dance to the Rhythm of Jovanotti's Funky Beat! Published on iItaly.org (http://www.iitaly.org) Summer in the City. Dance to the Rhythm of Jovanotti's Funky Beat! M. M. (June 17, 2009) Italian singer and musician Jovanotti follows debut US sell-outs by announcing a series of NYC summer concerts with a new transatlantic collective While Jovanotti easily sold out two popular New York venues when he made his US debut here earlier this year, he's looking to the city's incomparable small club scene as an incubator for new inspiration on a global level. Jovanotti will perform with a project called Soleluna NY Lab which combines musicians from his "Roma Colletivo" with New York-based musicians. The gigs will have the 'anything goes' attitude of experimental jam sessions and a surprising roster of international musicians will drop in for guest appearances. Until now, American audiences have had to make do with mere glimpses of the brilliant career of one of Italy’s most famous contemporary artists, the Tuscan singer and songwriter Lorenzo Cherubini, professionally known as Jovanotti. Over the past twenty years his recorded collaborations with Michael Franti, Ben Harper, Carlinhos Brown, Sergio Mendes, and Bono, among other well-known names, have occasionally caught the ear of the adventurous listener. Delivering lyrics in a half-sung, half-spoken style that has something esthetically in common with a downtown reading by a Beat poet, Jovanotti uses the rhythm and the ricochet of consonants and catchy melodic hooks to create songs that are instantly accessible to an international audience.

  • EMI Case Study
    AS media studies THE MUSIC INDUSTRY - Example Case Study EMI is a major British, independent, leading, global music company. It produces and distributes music throughout the world with artists such as Coldplay and The Verve on its books. It is considered one of the big four record companies. It employs around 5,500 people and operates in 50 countries. Financially it is a world player with revenue in 2007 of over £1,751 million and profits of over £62 million. The EMI group comprises over 100 recording labels. It is the second-largest global music publisher (i.e. music scores). There are two main sides to the music business recorded music and music publishing. The recorded music division signs bands, manages bands and makes records – CDs and downloads. The music publishing division (based in New York) collects royalties every time their songs are played on radio, television, video games, films, ring tones and advertisements. The royalties are small but they all mount up to be a profitable business. EMI has the rights to the published songs by Amy Whitehouse, Arctic Monkeys, Duffy, and Jay-Z as well as perennial favourites like Over the Rainbow. This arm of the business is so successful that it is said to be worth 80% of the value of the company. EMI publishing owns or manages 1.3 million copyrights. EMI is a vertically integrated company because it creates music to sell on CD and as downloads on the internet, and it publishes the songs, lyrics and music of many of its own artists and many more artists.
