Shakespeare has well said “If music be the food of soul, then play on”. Surely, music puts a balm on all your worries and it sooths and relaxes your mind. And music has been regarded as the voice of the soul too. From generations and centuries, music has given enough entertainment to the mankind. Come to the contemporary times and you would witness a sort of revolution in the music industry. Owing to the popular trends like cinema and Internet, there is an emergence of a lot of genres like pop music, jazz, country, Blues, rock and so on. And the Internet is flooded with a plethora of online music websites that have added a new dimension in the popularity of music.

These online music stores are employing new strategies in order to attract more and more users towards them. This includes affiliating with the various social networking sites and offering competitive prices to the users, thereby baiting them for good. Other methods that these online players employ could be giving away a few albums or songs for free as a start up initiative to increase the traffic and client�le, in terms of music downloads. It can also offer some great incentives to the early buyers.

There is another way to popularise the online music by giving a referral incentive to anyone who refer his/her acquaintances to a particular website. By such means you can buy music on a discount, else you win some freebies or loyalty points for your next purchase… Then, these websites also trust viral marketing to propagate their music store amidst the netizens. Also there are certain websites that sell DRM free MP3s and thus they can be used on any music player very conveniently.

You might have come across a few websites which would not charge anything for listening music but as soon as you try downloading these tracks, they would start charging money on it. But there are many free and legal music download sites have cropped up too, and they have found their target customers as well. So, you can work out on both the options. Thus, the voice of your soul (music) has become a famous business which is catching up like a wildfire along with the other online businesses and is also minting good money out of it.

A 23-year-old pop star has become the first Mexican celebrity to publicly announce that he is gay. Christi�n Ch�vez, one of the six-member RBD group, came out after photos showing him purportedly getting married to another man in Canada in 2005 were published on a website.

“Certain photographs were released that show a part of me, a part that I was not prepared to speak of in fear of rejection, of criticism,” he said in a statement on the group’s website. “I don’t want to keep on lying and lie to myself because of fear.”

The news has shocked many in a traditionally conservative country where homosexuality is largely disapproved of. A national survey of attitudes two years ago indicated that the vast majority of Mexicans would refuse to share their house with someone gay. Discussion in the media of the presumed homosexuality of several public figures is usually limited to nudges and giggles.

Photos of Ch�vez, known for his ever-changing hair colour, were splashed over the front pages of many Mexican newspapers, and his announcement was the top story on radio news shows. The group RBD is a spinoff from a successful TV soap opera, Rebelde, that was set in a boarding school where three boys and three girls start up a band. The real band plays pop music and is wildly popular in much of Latin America and among Latin American youth in the US.

Despite having been apparently forced by the photographs, Ch�vez’s announcement is the latest in a series of signs that Mexican society is gradually opening up. Local parliaments in Mexico City and the northern state of Coahuila recently passed legislation allowing for same-sex civil unions despite the opposition of the Catholic church. Gay communities in several cities are also increasingly open, with businesses targeting gay people diversifying beyond traditional bars and clubs.

Baden Powell was one of the towering figures of the Brazilian Bossa Nova idiom. His music was enjoyed throughout the whole world, and his collaboration with the poet Vinicius de Moraes and interpretations of the work of other composers ensure Baden Powell a place among the masters of Latin music. Many famous Bossa Nova songs were co-written by Baden Powell include Samba de Pintinho, Quaquaraquaqua, Fim de Linha, Valse No. 1, Samba Triste, Tempo Feliz, Cidade Vazia, Babel and Casa Velha. His songs written with Vinicius de Moraes include Para uma Menina com uma Flor and Samba da B�n��o which were included on the soundtrack of the 1966 Cannes film festival winner, A Man and a Woman.

The middle years of the twentieth century saw the Brazilian dance music known as Bossa Nova take the world by storm. It is basically the Brazilian Samba informed musically by the chords and harmonies of American jazz. Bossa Nova, which means “new trend” in Brazilian is thought by many to owe its existence to Antonio Carlos Jobim who had an overwhelming love of jazz. Guitar player, Baden Powell, contributed many compositions to the Bossa Nova idiom, and also added his depth of experience absorbed from the world of the classical guitar.

The Bossa Nova might have remained an exclusively Brazilian phenomenon if it had not been for the 1959 movie, The Black Orpheus. This movie proved to be a considerable international success and introduced to the world the music of Antonio Carlos Jobim and Luiz Bonfa. The popularity of Brazilian music in the wider world was sealed as famous jazz musicians Stan Getz and Charlie Byrd began recording their own interpretations of Bossa Nova music.

Baden Powell, named after the founder of the Boy Scouts, was born in 1937 and soon showed himself to be a natural guitarist. Inspired not only by the music of his country but also by American jazz. Heavily influenced by jazz guitar player, Django Reinhardt and pop guitarist Les Paul, he found himself playing electric guitar professionally by the age of thirteen. About seven years later, Baden Powell fell in love with the classical guitar and decided to devote all his musical energies to that instrument.

Brazil was a hotbed of musical interest in the nineteen sixties, seething with various modes of expression through Brazilian, American and European musical idioms. Jazz became Baden Powell’s musical medium expressed using classical guitar technique, and he found himself recording his own version of music by Thelonious Monk and Jerome Kern.

At the same time Baden Powell did not isolate himself from the informal music which was appearing spontaneously all around him. His enjoyment of Brazilian street music no doubt stopped his guitar playing from becoming to stilted due to his classical training. He can even be heard on records scat singing along with his guitar like a typical jazz performer.

Baden Powell, along with jazz guitar player Charlie Byrd, has been an enormous influence in maintaining the acoustic guitar’s presence in the world of popular music.

The music industry is being reborn on the internet. Now, more than ever, independent music has a venue, free of industry giants who dictate what the pubic will heart. If you haven’t been reading the trades for the last couple of years, you might be saddened to know that the music industry–at least, the music industry as it has been molded over the last 40 years–is crumbling.

The cause of death is a pretty simple one: You and I and everyone we know have been stealing records for almost ten years now, remorselessly and relentlessly. As much as we all hate to listen to Lars Ulrich cry into Bob Rock’s silk ascot, it’s true. It’s illegal, and we’ve been doing it because we assume that we are justified because our jobs aren’t as much fun as emptying Hetfield’s dishwasher and flipping mansions for profit. We rationalize our theft by telling ourselves that it’s ludicrous that someone should make millions (MILLIONS!) for creating art while we have to roll up our sleeves and wake up for our jobs every day.

We’re not exactly right about that, though. The reason Lars, Jack Johnson, John Mayer, Kelly Clarkson and all of those goobers are justified in making millions off their art is the same reason why LeBron James is worth millions for playing a game: If they weren’t making millions off of it, their promoters would be making many more millions off of it while the artists lived on Ramen. In short, if Dave Grohl writes a song that a million people want to hear, that fact by itself doesn’t justify a million dollar paycheck. But SOMEONE is going to make a million dollars selling that record. It might as well be Dave. If LeBron James averages 74 points a game for a whole season, that’s going to lead directly to someone selling a billion hideous Cavs jerseys. Shouldn’t LeBron get a piece of that? Shouldn’t LeBron get a BIG piece of that?

But obviously, everyone’s not satisfied with that explanation. If we were, we wouldn’t be burning the hell out of everything we even sort of liked and filesharing all day. The result is that millions and millions of dollars are failing to make their way into the music industry.

It’s only bad news for a few people. Your favorite millionaire activists will still be able to sell records. Kanye and Tom Morello and Gwen S. aren’t going anywhere. As long as there’s an Us Weekly, they will still sell records and fill the Staples Center, and that’s pretty good news for communists and fourth-graders everywhere. Fountains of Wayne are going to have to start sleeping at Days Inn, but they’ll still be OK. Their bosses, though, the ones who had a different diamond-encrusted grill for each Wu-Tang album release, who insisted on feting Frances Bean’s eighth grade graduation on a hovercraft in the Aegean (I’m making this up; I wasn’t invited), who had millions and millions of dollars at their disposal for promotion and production and street teams and advertising and risk-taking, THOSE guys are dying off like the dodo.

What that’s going to do is polarize music in a pretty serious way. On one side, there will be a tiny nucleus of megabosses at the labels. Their stables -once full of hundreds of acts that had good songs but no following or who had been working their way up for years- will be cut down to only the very biggest sellers. That part of the industry will always be there.

On the other side will be everyone else. They call this “leveling the playing field.”

So while you won’t ever get that bazillion-dollar record deal that would set you up for life, pretty much no one else will either. Which will mean that everyone will have a much better chance of being appreciated for their work and merit rather than their valuable connections and/or label support.

Now, I want you to take a deep breath and say this out loud: “I am not in this for the money.”

If that statement made you cringe, if you gagged a little bit at the thought that you were never going to live on the expensive side of Mullholland Drive, then I strongly urge you to go back to school and get an MBA and possibly your Series 7. There are a lot of great ways to make money, and music isn’t one of them (it never really was anyway).

If it was easy for you to admit this, then the death of the music industry just made your life a lot easier. Now that files are shareable and the internet is wide open, you will have an easier time being heard than anyone who ever came before you.

Now that there is no way to protect data, the only way to real financial success in music will be live shows, the experience of which can’t be replicated in e-file. In order to get those live shows happening, you’ve gotta get people listening to your stuff. In order to get people to listen to your stuff…you’re gonna have to give it away for free.

Save up your money. Make a demo. Recording software is cheaper than ever. Then, by god, burn it onto CDs, post it free on the internet (Harvey Danger staged a relatively huge comeback doing this very thing), and ask every person you know to listen to it and pass it on. If you are worried about making $10 off your CD, then you’re looking at things too narrowly (or you should be the president of TVT). If you’re working at having a legacy and possibly getting booked at the big venues, then you need listeners.

These days, when you book a show, promoters rarely ask for your website anymore. Instead, they want your MySpace address. The reason for this is simple: MySpace shows the number of fans, listeners, and daily traffic you have. That’s critical information for someone to have when they feast or starve based on the number of people who come through the door. The more people you can get to listen to your music–and again, it’s never been easier–the better shot you have at leaving a mark on the music world and maybe making enough of a buck to quit Jiffy Lube.

The playing field has changed. In the next decade, the live venue will be the scoreboard that determines success, and the major money maker for musicians everywhere. The major label deal is trundling out like a Studebaker. Record sales are only for people whose fanbases can’t operate Limewire (my parents, for instance, just love Josh Groban, and he makes a killing at Sam Goody). With less money for labels to cram music down people’s throats, the internet is wide open for you to shout your message to everyone. It’s all up to you. Put your music out for free. Get listeners. Get a buzz. Book the shows. Draw the followers. This is the new success, and it is within your reach. Check http://www.steveconwaymusic.com for best of the best in music industry at present.
