Independent Record Stores Upset With Jay-Z & Kanye West

30 jul 2011, 02:43

 [/p]Independent record stores are almost obsolete, due to the technological advancement of the internet making music instantly available at online stores such as itunes. Jay-Z and Kanye's latest album "Watch The Throne" is set to hit online retailers before reaching the nearly 2,000 independent record stores that continue to sell music. This move is hurting independent record stores and they are letting it be known,[/p]A written letter was sent on behalf of the independent stores to warn of the danger they suffer from Jay-Z and Kanye's decision to release their music exclusively to online retailers.[/p]"Dear Jay-Z and Kanye West, Independent record stores serve our communities. Our passion is music, and we convey this to the millions of customers who come to our stores. That's what we do. Four years ago independent music stores across the country banded together to create Record Store Day. Our goal was to counter the negative media coverage about the supposed demise of record stores brought on by the closing of the Tower stores and to respond to the music business practices that fans deemed to be manipulative and onerous."[/p]"We reached out to the artist community to see if they would join us, and the response was overwhelming with words of support coming in from Paul McCartney, Erykah Badu, Tom Waits, Chuck D, the Foo Fighters and countless others. Working with their label partners, many of these musicians created limited edition works of art, including vinyl and CDs made especially for music specialty retail. Hundreds of these artists took the opportunity to perform, DJ, and interact with their fans in our record stores. Here in the US, Record Store Day lifted the entire music business by 8% and contributed to the growth in music sales. Record Store Day is now one of the biggest music events in history with millions of people participating worldwide."[/p]"We are responding to the bad news that your new album will not be available to independent record stores until after iTunes gets a window of exclusivity. We also learned that the deluxe version (which is what the true music fans who shop our stores will want by an overwhelming majority) will only be available at Best Buy exclusively for a period of time. We believe this is a short-sighted strategy, and that your decisions will be doing great damage to over 1,700 independent record stores — stores that have supported you and your music for years."[/p]

"We know that you are busy, and that you put most of your energies into creating great music, but we are writing to you in the hope that you will hear us and take the time to rectify this matter. As representatives of the independent record store music community, we are asking you to allow record stores and music fans equal access to your new album.

Amy Winehouse Covers VIBE MAGAZINE – Last Days of Amy

28 jul 2011, 17:36

The late Amy Winehouse covers VIBE Magazine with the caption 'Trouble Soul".  In an in-depth interview platinum producer Salaam Remi recalls the final days of Winehouse.

I’m in London now. I’m out here because [Amy and I] were supposed to go to a wedding today. And before I could get to her yesterday she passed. We were going to the wedding of Nick Symansky, who is the person who really found her. He found her when he was a scout at 19. And he was the manager before they got the Universal deal.[/p]They went ahead with the wedding. All I could do was sit there and imagine how many jokes she would have been cracking with me. We were in the middle of working on the album. She finished writing the record. We just hadn’t recorded.[/p]For the last couple of weeks we were video chatting regularly. I was just talking to Nas. Both her and Nas were born on September 14, so we were going to Barbados with all of them for her birthday. She really doesn’t look forward to her birthday, you know what I’m saying?[/p]

New Music: More Than I Can Say feat. Keyshia Cole

28 jul 2011, 04:45

[/p] [/p]Street Poet Nasir Jones gets R&B diva Keyshia Cole to bless "More Thank I Can Say". No word on where this song will end up. Until then, its banging in the iPod, car radio and on the net.[/p]

"Keep havin' the same dream/ About a mic, a gun, a cross/ They all in the middle of flames/ A hourglass of salt drippin' down to its last grain/ Hear a voice that ask what do I claim/ I ask what it all means/ It's sorta a trance/ As the planet earth appears in the palm of my hands."
