‘There’s history in these walls’: is Mojos in Fremantle Australia’s best music venue? https://www.theguardian.com/music/2024/apr/28/mojos-fremantle-australias-best-music-venues #music #Fremantle

What a guitar!

Bonus: a rare explanatory video that wastes no time getting to the point and contains not one word of unnecessary or narcissistic palaver—and so takes only a minute or two vs. the usual ten to fifteen you can never get back.

Is Melbourne’s Forum the best music venue in Australia?

Elaborately decorated with Greco-Roman columns and gargoyles, this beloved theatre has also been a cinema and a Pentecostal church – and is now the city’s most ‘majestic’ live music venue. #music

'The financial monopoly of the biggest stars – plus the phenomenon of keen-eared social media users sharing melodic similarities between songs online – appears to have increased accusations of plagiarism. This has led to artists pre-empting issues by interpolating or sampling existing songs – turning the charts into an endless nostalgia trip – while others dole out songwriting credits post-release to avoid legal action, something Sheeran did in 2017 when No Scrubs songwriters Kandi Burruss and Tameka Cottle were added to the credits of Shape of You.'

'The same year, an out-of-court settlement was made between Sheeran and musician Matt Cardle after Sheeran’s song Photograph was accused of copying notes from Cardle’s 2012 single Amazing. Sheeran regretted it, claiming in 2022 that the move opened “the floodgates,” when it came to copyright lawsuits. A year later, when he was taken to court due to the similarities between Marvin Gaye’s Let’s Get It On and his hit Thinking Out Loud, Sheeran was determined to frame these challenges as an existential problem for musicians, vowing to quit altogether if he was found to have breached copyright. He wasn’t – and if his Photograph settlement opened the floodgates, this victory has undoubtedly nudged them in the opposite direction.' #copyright #music

Wake me up when record labels and media companies learn how to build marketing platforms, besides extracting feudal rents from others who do the job they should be doing.

#Music #UMG #SocialMedia #TikTok #Copyright #IP: "Universal Music is set to pull its millions of songs from TikTok after a breakdown in talks over payments.

The move would mean the social media platform would no longer have access to songs by artists including Taylor Swift, The Weeknd and Drake.

Universal accused TikTok of "bullying" and said it wanted to pay a "fraction" of the rate other social media sites do for access to its vast catalogue.

TikTok said Universal was presenting a "false narrative and rhetoric".

Music companies earn royalty payments when their songs are played on streaming and social media platforms.

Although TikTok - which is owned by Chinese company ByteDance - has more than one billion users, it accounts for just 1% of Universal's total revenue, the label said."

'Kylie Minogue made her first appearance on the Triple J Hottest 100 in decades, with last year’s inescapable viral hit Padam Padam coming in at number 48.

Australia’s Queen of Pop first made her mark on the Hottest 100 in 1994 when her moody ballad Confide In Me landed at number 30. A year later, her Nick Cave duet Where The Wild Roses Grow cracked the top ten, and in 1997 she made her final appearance – until now – when the Indie Kylie anthem Did It Again made it to number 81.

The Triple J hosts announced that the 26-year break between drinks makes Kylie a record breaker: It’s the longest gap between entries in Hottest 100 history.' https://www.news.com.au/entertainment/music/triple-j-hottest-100-2023-results-upsets-and-winner-revealed/news-story/a459c2886edaf61273c0125d2c5be79d #music #hottest100 #Kylie
