A Bit of Music News

Posted in Information  on December 30th, 2008 by: editor

John Lennon appears in TV ad campaign! Yep, you heard it right, the Beatles legend appears in a commercial for the “One Laptop per Child” non-profit group which through what else, digital techniques has his voice and movement altered to make him plead for support of the program. Next, we have the famed Kurt Cobain Fender Mustang guitar he smashed on stage on the band’s first US tour. Well, it sold for $US 100,000 to a collector and music buff (trash is cash after all). And last news, Warner Music has begun removing free videos of their artists from YouTube after long negotiations about new royalties royalties for their use. Deemed as a cash stream, these videos from greats like Madonna, Linkin Park, Led Zepplin and others, have long been in demand yet the studio says it hasn’t received word on a better offer so bye guys, better luck next time.
