Radiohead “Creep” Vocais Isolados - Video

Radiohead “Creep” Isolated Vocals

First of all thanks to my friend BOBBY OWSINSKI for this article.

Radiohead has engendered respect from artists and fans alike for following its own path and not being afraid to follow its muse. In fact, many consider the band to be the Pink Floyd of their time in many ways. “Creep” was the band’s first single and later appeared on its first album Pablo Honey. Not an initial success, it took a rerelease a couple of years later to actually catch on. The song was reported to have been recorded in a single take, and has been covered by everyone from Macy Gray to The Pretenders. Here’s what to listen for.

1. There’s a nice long delayed reverb on the vocal that’s fairly dark sounding. That’s the only effect used.

2. Thom Yorke gives a great vocal, but it sounds like it was done with one take (not that there’s anything wrong with that). It’s a bit pitchy in spots, especially at the end of phrases, something that probably no one has ever noticed in the context of the mix.

3. There are some lip smacks and breaths that are left in. They just add to the intimacy of the vocal.

4. There’s also some distortion during the bridge from an overload somewhere in the signal chain. It’s all about the performance though, so who cares?

Tina Turner - Musical Biográfico Em Produção

New Tina Turner Bio-Musical in the Works

Simply the best.

Legendary queen of rock 'n' roll, Tina Turner, will be the subject of a new theatrical biographical musical being developed in London by Netherlands-based Stage Entertainment. The show's working title is Tina: The Musical.

Playwright Katori Hall, who won acclaim for the Martin Luther King drama The Mountaintop, among other plays, is working with Dutch writers Frank Ketelaar and Kees Prins on the project, with Phyllida Lloyd attached to direct.

While Lloyd is well-known for her bold takes on the classics, such as an an-female Shakespeare trilogy starring Harriet Walter, the director's biggest stage success has been the Abba jukebox musical Mamma Mia!, which became a global blockbuster.

Turner joined the creative and producing teams in London today for a workshop presentation of the piece, for which no timeline has been announced. Adrienne Warren, a Tony nominee this year for Shuffle Along, is playing Turner in the workshop.

"We have been working on the musical for over a year now, and today I am delighted to be able to share our news as we begin the next chapter of our journey," said Turner in a statement.

Tali Pelman, group creative director of Stage Entertainment, added: "Tina is a music legend and her iconic songs are matched only by the power and inspiration of her remarkable and moving story."

Turner's life was portrayed on the screen in the 1993 biopic What's Love Got to Do With It, starring Angela Bassett, which traced her difficult emergence from an abusive marriage to Ike Turner, clearing the path for her rise to superstardom as a solo artist in the 1980s. Her combined album and single sales are estimated at 180 million copies worldwide.

The Rock And Roll Hall of Fame inductee -- and eight-time Grammy Award winner -- has charted a combined 37 songs on the Billboard Hot 100, both as a solo artist and has one-half of the duo Ike & Tina Turner. Among those hits were Turner's solo smashes "What's Love Got to Do With It," which spent three weeks at No. 1 in 1984, along with the top 10 hits "Better Be Good to Me," "I Don't Wanna Fight" and "We Don't Need Another Hero." Her iconic hit with Ike, "Proud Mary," reached No. 4 in 1971.

Turner's last studio album, Twenty Four Seven, was released in 2000, and hit No. 21 on the Billboard 200. She has since followed it up with assorted greatest hits releases, compilations and live albums, including her highest charting album ever, the No. 2-peaking All the Best in 2005.

An unrelated stage musical based on Turner's life and career, called Soul Sister, was produced in London's West End in 2012. Further details about the new show will be announced as the project develops.

Usuários Do Snapchat Podem Usar O Shazam Sem Deixar O Aplicativo

Snapchat Users Can Shazam Songs Without Leaving the Messaging App

Going viral has just gotten easier, as the result of a partnership between Shazam and Snapchat. With today’s new release of the popular messaging app, users can now launch Shazam’s music recognition technology and share songs without leaving Snapchat.

The update also debuts the long-awaited Snapchat Group Chat feature, which allows simultaneous sharing with up to 16 contacts. Positioned by Snapchat Inc. as a way for family members to stay in touch over the holidays, it also enables multiplexed music  sharing.

Holding down anywhere on the camera screen within Snapchat will prompt Shazam to identify music playing nearby, launching a pop-up box that will allow users to retrieve more info, including lyrics, preview the audio, play a Vevo clip, or share. As with other Snapchat communiqués, the message -- and presumably the song, if it’s not saved separately -- will disappear.

Group Chat can be activated while sending a Snap, or initiating a new chat. Names of those engaged in a Group Chat will appear on the bottom of the screen, with users able to switch from Group to one-on-one Chats with a swipe -- a feature known as Quick Chat.

Although Snapchat is privately held and doesn’t share data, Bloomberg News in June reported 150 million people using service daily (by Bloomberg’s count, about 10 million more monthlies than Twitter’s “active” user base, although the publicly-traded Twitter claimed 310 million active monthly users, prompting debate about daily usage). This fall, reports swirled that Snapchat was preparing an IPO for 2017.  Shazam, meanwhile, claims monthly use  by “hundreds of millions of active users worldwide,” and more than one billion downloads of the app.

Shazam has expanded beyond music, and now helps people discover and share video printed content, retail stores and just about anything else you can think of. This summer, the app even unveiled a prognosticative algorithm, designed to predict hits.

Escute A Audição Dos Beatles Na Decca - Video

A Listen To The Beatle’s Decca Audition Tape

The Beatles, arguably the greatest music group of all time, were turned down by every record label they went to until a little arm twisting landed them on George Martin’s Parlophone label. One listen to this audition tape that the band did for Decca Records  leads you to understand why everyone passed however. The band played songs from their live show, and while certainly competent, didn’t provide even an inkling of what was to come later.

The audition took place in London at Decca Studios on New Year’s Day in 1962. The group (which included original drummer Pete Best) travelled down from Liverpool through a snowstorm with driver and roadie Neil Aspinall to arrive just in time for the 11am audition. Brian Epstein had travelled separately by train. The Beatles recorded 15 songs altogether with 5 of them,  “Three Cool Cats,” “The Sheik Of Araby,” “Like Dreamers Do and Hello Little Girl,” eventually appearing on the Anthology 1 collection in 1995.

Here’s the track listing.

01. Money (That’s What I Want) [0:00]

02. To Know Her Is To Love Her [2:26]

03. Memphis, Tennessee [5:01]

04. Till There Was You [7:22]

05. Sure To Fall (In Love With You) [10:23]

06. Besame Mucho [12:27]

07. Love Of The Loved [15:07]

08. September In The Rain [17:00]

09. Take Good Care Of My Baby [18:57]

10. Crying, Waiting, Hoping [21:26]

 The lesson here is to never judge a book by its cover, because you just never know if there’s greatness that lies within.

Como Os Selos Estão Usando o "Playlist Albums" Para Colocar Os Artistas Na Era Do Streaming

How Labels Are Using 'Playlist Albums' to Break New Artists in the Streaming Era

This July, Epic Records crafted a top 10 album on the Billboard 200 chart nearly out of thin air. Epic AF, a streaming album made up of some of the label's top-performing singles, such as DJ Khaled's "For Free" feat. Drake and French Montana's "Lockjaw" feat. Kodak Black, paired with tracks from its lesser-known signings that hadn't yet been attached to an artist's album. The compilation's success -- it spent four weeks in the top 10 without being available for sale -- sparked a change in Billboard's chart rules that stipulated only streams of songs from the album, and not individual paid downloads, would count towards its chart position.

It also inspired imitators, with RCA (The RCA-List on Sept. 30, The RCA-List Vol. 2 on Nov. 4) and now Def Jam (Direct Deposit Vol. 1, released Dec. 2) sensing an opportunity to leverage the growing influence of streaming playlists to squeeze some extra chart juice out of successful singles and shine a light on new artists -- as well as the label's brand -- in the process.

"This is like if a playlist jumped out of a streaming environment and is living in the wild, because it's been made into a product," says John Fleckenstein, evp at RCA Records. "If one more person listens to another song on that compilation that they wouldn't normally have done, that's a plus for us, and that's driving revenue."

These playlist albums, then, are becoming another way to break artists and songs. Def Jam's Direct Deposit, for instance, places new releases from 2 Chainz, YG and Pusha T next to new signings Lajan Slim, Dave East and Amir Obe, encouraging casual fans to sample bubbling cuts from the rest of the label's roster. The RCA-List Vol. 2 includes established hits from Enrique Iglesias, Kings of Leon and G-Eazy interspersed with singles from Rob $tone, Bryson Tiller and Daniel Skye.

While the revenue from streaming may be incremental, the cost to the label -- essentially zero -- makes any success a net positive. And so far, the concept has been working: both of RCA's releases reached the top 25 of the Billboard 200, while Epic's second compilation, September's Epic Lit, reached No. 27. From a marketing perspective, too, associating a label with its most successful and promising artists has its upsides.

"When we curate something like Direct Deposit, it’s attractive because you can see the depth and breadth of our roster and hear the quality," says Rob Caiaffa, svp, marketing at Def Jam. "And it helps us create a springboard for our young and developing artists by allowing us capitalize on the footprint of more established artists and their respective fan bases."

Fleckenstein sees an added benefit as well. "It helps us on the talent acquisition side of our business -- people can see the success we're having on certain projects and the people we're working with," he notes. "There's really no downside for us to try to establish the RCA-List brand. So in the long term, why not do it?"

Def Jam expects to continue its Direct Deposit series on a monthly basis, while RCA and Epic are both planning future editions. And as streaming continues to grow in importance, new opportunities for similar marketing plans are already emerging.

"The streaming space is not quite the Wild West, but it's such an open playing field of experimentation right now," Fleckenstein says. "The main focus for us is getting very smart about how consumers are listening to music, making sure we understand what the analytics actually mean. And our ability to read those numbers and know what they mean is going to be a pivotal difference between us being successful and not being successful."

Com O IPO Em vista Spotify Termina As Conversas Em Comprar A SoundCloud

With IPO in Sight, Spotify Reportedly Ends Talks to Buy SoundCloud

Those rumored talks between Spotify and SoundCloud, regarding a possible buyout of the latter, have come to an end. That's according to TechCrunch, which cites a knowledgeable source at Spotify as indicating the company bailed on the idea because it didn't want to add any wrinkles to a potential IPO next year. Reps at Spotify and SoundCloud did not immediately return requests for comment.

The Financial Times reported in September that the two parties were in "advanced talks" about an acquisition. Sale talks are nothing new for SoundCloud, which reportedly put itself up on the market for $1 billion over the summer, just months after launching its on-demand streaming service Go.

According to the FT, Spotify has passed on acquiring SoundCloud on two previous occasions over the years. This time, however, Spotify reportedly got cold feet because it foresaw major headaches in the licensing process tied to SoundCloud's larger catalog of non-label tracks, including its cache of DJ remixes.

As previously reported, Spotify is under pressure to go public because in March it raised $1 billion in convertible debt, which can be exchanged to equity, under terms that grow less favorable as time passes. Spotify boasts 100 million-plus monthly users, with 40 million paid. Following close on its tail is Apple Music, which this week announced it has 20 million paid users. Amazon recently entered the on-demand streaming market, with Amazon Music Unlimited, and Pandora just (finally) unveiled its own all-in-one entry into the market.

Nielsen Fala Em Comprar a Gracenote

Nielsen in Advanced Talks to Purchase Media Data Specialist Gracenote: Report

Nielsen is reportedly in advanced talks to acquire entertainment metadata specialist Gracenote. 

Variety first reported the news that Nielsen was discussing the purchase from Tribute Media for $450–500 million, citing unnamed sources. An announcement could come as soon as this month, it claimed. 

If the acquisition does happen, Nielsen will use Gracenote's automatic content recognition technology that's integrated into most TVs from major manufacturers to more accurately measure what consumers are watching with a larger sample size. As well, there's likely hope that this could provide a window into viewership for online video services such as Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, which do not publicize their data.

Tribune Media acquired Gracenote from Sony in 2013 for $170 million. 

Neither Nielsen nor Tribute Media have publicly commented.
