Radiohead Plans Tour As More Fans Download Album Illegally

October 19th, 2007

Radiohead Plans TourRadiohead will head out on a worldwide tour next spring, according to Billboard.com. One of the band’s managers, Bryce Edge, said that the trek will most likely start in May and last until the end of 2008, adding, “At the moment we are talking with our agents…trying to get a schedule which works for the band and works financially.” Edge also said that the band’s summer 2006 tour, which was limited to smaller venues in a handful of European and U.S. cities, was done for “creative reasons, definitely not for financial reasons. And I think they quite enjoyed it. The next set of touring will be slightly larger-scale venues.”

Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke has expressed distaste for large tours in the past, especially because of their effects on climate change. Edge explained, “(Yorke) likes to do shows, but the whole business of schlepping around the world is not top of his list of favorite things to do. He really enjoys playing to the fans — it’s just the process of how to do that which is the pain in the neck…They’re not road dogs. They never have been.”

Radiohead issued its new album, In Rainbows, last week as a digital download, with fans able to pay whatever price they wanted. Edge said that reports of sales of 1.2 million downloads were “exaggerated,” but refused to name a figure.

Meanwhile, tracking company Big Champagne has reported that illegal downloads of In Rainbows have far surpassed any legal number, with 100,000 copies being downloaded a day.

A standard CD release of the album is tentatively planned for early 2008.

Madonna Adopts Live Nation

October 16th, 2007

MadonnaMadonna finalized her massive 10-year deal with Live Nation on Tuesday (October 16), although the exact terms have yet to be disclosed. The deal involves Madonna’s new studio efforts, tours, merchandise, DVD releases, sponsorships, licensing agreements, fan club, Web site, and TV and film projects. “The paradigm in the music business has shifted, and as an artist and a businesswoman, I have to move with that shift,” Madonna said in a statement. “For the first time in my career, the way that my music can reach my fans is unlimited. I’ve never wanted to think in a limited way and with this new partnership, the possibilities are endless. Who knows how my albums will be distributed in the future? That’s what’s exciting about this deal — everything is possible. Live Nation has offered me a true partnership, and after 25 years in the business, I feel that I deserve that.” Madonna did, however, have some kind words to say about former label Warner Bros.: “I appreciate their hard work and value the many relationships I have developed over the years with the label in the U.S. and around the world. I have an album coming out with them next year, and I’m excited about it. We still have work to do together.” Live Nation also announced a new Artist Nation arm that will launch with Madonna and have divisions dedicated to dealing with an artist’s recorded music, merchandise, concert tickets, sponsorships, marketing and more.

The 49-year-old Madonna has left Warner Music Group in favor of entering into a global partnership with Live Nation, worth a reported $120 million over 10 years.

October 12th, 2007

J.K. RowlingJ.K. Rowling might be the second-richest female entertainer in the world according to Forbes, but she can’t always get her way when it comes to money. An Indian court tossed out a claim made by the “Harry Potter” author that sought damages from the organizers of a four-day religious carnival for building a replica of Hogwarts Castle. Rowling and her publishers wanted the equivalent of $50,000 from the organizers, but the Delhi High Court disagreed. The court did, however, order that characters from the massively popular book series not be used in the event and say that permission to exhibit the castle would expire on October 26. The castle is constructed out of canvas, papier mâché and bamboo. …

DMX’s Animal Abuse

October 10th, 2007

DMXMore disturbing information has surfaced concerning alleged animal abuse at rapper DMX‘s Arizona home. According to a report in The Arizona Republic, several of the 12 undernourished pit bulls recovered from the grounds back in August suffered from valley fever, an infectious lung disease that also affects humans. Also, three dogs that were discovered buried in the rapper’s backyard may have died from heat after air conditioning in the house reportedly broke down. The Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office, which is still investigating the matter, told the Republic that a “usable amount of marijuana” was also recovered from the rapper’s home, along with a small amount of cocaine. The cause of death of the three dogs, which showed signs of bruising, could not be determined, as their bodies were severely decomposed. Two burned dogs, a 20-pound puppy and a 40-pound female, were found together, wrapped in a beige bed sheet and placed inside a plastic bag.
