Productions Dave Guetta Alexis Petridis is omnipresent feel, as his father – thank you God for PJ Harvey

There were times when Table 2011 singles seemed likely to cause an existential crisis in the music fans of a certain age. This summer I turned on the radio and found a map to my horror, that all sounded exactly the same assembly. Oh my god, that’s it, I thought, I turned to my father.

But further studies showed that the graph has mixed sound strange. Almost all had four on the floor, beat at home, almost everything was decorated with synth sounds somewhere between rave and trance, and had a hint of dubstep. This noise, which could come with the DJ and producer David Guetta, was heard on singles from all of the example of Flo-Rida and Coldplay.

No wonder that people in the past, in retirement, whether to promote the reform of the Stone Roses or dive into the challenge Retro House Chicago Azari and III of the fantastic self-titled album from 1980 or prog-pop Destroyer. As an antidote to nostalgia, there was overlap BBC4 Top of the Pops in 1976, a reminder that things could be worse.

Good stuff does sometimes break the homogeneity of the tables: Katy B album on a mission to create a compelling dubstep-influenced pop album of the same James Blake offered as bizarre as anything the Best made 10, while London beat duo AlunaGeorge was the same tonal balance of innovation and commercialization in R & B you found a decade ago.

The two albums slug it for the top slot in late polls – PJ Harvey Shake and skying the Horrors “- could not be more different, but both show the value of perseverance to develop a vision.

The most annoying musical controversies: The people whining about the “inauthenticity” of Lana Del Rey, they would probably dropped David Bowie in the 1970s, to his horror that he is not really a demagogue gay Nazis from space.

Best reason, only the switch in 2012: The sudden disappearance of each band is tilted hot, around 2011, Mona’s brother Viva.

The phrase you never heard: “What is someone like you follow the sound, like Adele?”

Digital Media at MTV to NBC.com and found several networks of digital television entertainment guide due to changes in Variety entertainment Apps Apps conference in Los Angeles December 1, 2011. Despite the “near hurricane force,” Santa Ana winds of 73 mph clocked at high altitude leads to streetlights and power outages throughout Southern California, the room was packed with industry executives at the Hotel Sofitel. To give you moderate the scoop on the latest trends in the display panel TV-part story by Andrew Wallenstein, editor of Variety TV, we have taken these ideas on how TV networks are getting the most of the second screen (tablet, mobile phones, laptops, etc.)

Consumer behavior is changing dramatically with the effect of second screen (iPhone, Android, iPad, iPod and more), and this fundamental change will change everything for television broadcasters and advertisers. Colin Helms, MTV Digital Media, Viacom’s Media Networks, said: Some interesting statistics on this panel and others during the day included all “Commercial television is stupid, but the app is smart.”

- The 9000 tweets per second at the MTV VMA were (Video Music Awards.)

- The MTV VMA Twitter Tracker celebrities at the ceremony that followed were tweeting and where they were sitting.

- 90 million households watch Internet videos on TV now.

- People are four main things to do while watching TV and having a second screen: E-mail, text, Facebook or surf the mobile web.

- The average American household has the television on more than 5 hours per day.

- Tablet penetration is estimated at 23% of consumers in 2012.

Scott Maddux, vice president Product Development Nielsen (who worked on the anatomy of Grey Sync app with ABC), developed on the change in consumer behavior: “It is a fundamental change in the way people watch television … People are fundamentally changing the way as they watch television, in scope, it gives the phone to know, you know, the tablets, so they tweet, they are posting on Facebook, if you see a movie , you IMDB or you just a “game again, you’ll ESPN.com …. In a recent study by Nielsen, say 70% of smartphone owners / shelf, yes, one of the most common activities are watching television in that unit. ”

When asked to describe how networks with applications for the spectators on the second screen shows like Jersey Shore, Colin Helms, MTV has committed, expanded, “This is a content delivery experience, so you can go and consume content, whether video, photos or articles on all our TV shows. …. We know our audience will automatically talk about our shows on Twitter or Facebook … but how can we do for social conversation and relevant to them, so that we based on a filtering algorithm are closely examine your social graph, look at your location, noting commentary on the casting of emission in real time. The third element is the introduction of content in the feed, the comments of the director experiment is part of the show. ”

Similar to MTV Digital Media, developed the site NBC.com, mobile, applications, and experience second screen in many different areas. Steve Andrade, SVP and GM development, NBC.com, shared, “We are developing content that accompanied the television and complete the social after the TV show.” For example, four NBC television shows that are directly part of their standard drafting process and the network provides new content on these four shows a week. NBC also has a branded application that you play, engage and interact with additional content outside the observation period provided can. Steve added: “What we have with the Voice last year was to make the show for you to succeed in a separate household digital, and all were delighted with the results because it helped the show very much .. ”

Despite these app hits, several panelists warned the group that there are huge losses if a show is to invest in an application, then stops. There are very few shows that can support their own application, and this problem is always a challenge to consider. Colin Helms, MTV, said: “The stat that is important to keep in mind that most applications are just one and a half open.”

Beyond this, stat television networks with entertainment applications are very serious, such as advertising and behavioral changes are constantly changing. Richard Bullwinkle, Chief Evangelist, Macrovision, together, “Millennials do not see ads or pay for things in advance.” Instead of forcing Millennials (20-29) to see ads, Richard said, that advertisers will now say, you go to a code image on a Red Bull, and you do not need to look at the screen during the show. This new advertising concept is actually a powerful amplifier of the sponsor, in life just as the ads. Richard added: “We have a lot of technology in television TV Plus together and the room will tell you …. you see a call to action ad can get. … Hey, it’s Coca-Cola. But we know that you like Diet Coke, so we give you a dollar a six-pack of Coke out of my hand for the next time you go to the store. ” Rovi all the technology brings to the table that all these new advertising approach can work.

Towards the end, reflects Steve Andrade, NBC.com, as new applications of digital entertainment, television, and how their influence is only beginning to “Compared to the film industry, we are in era of silent films. We do not know what people really want. We do not have people on what there educated. We have not trained all the executive producer and narrator on, what they can do. We do not have a way to make a ton of additional content monetization, so we’re just experienced. Just when we Star Wars digital entertainment and digital storytelling to get, it will be incredible to think. Everyone is going to look at what we did, and say … . the stuff did not sound and lack teeth. It’s exciting for me to understand as we go. ”

After the panel, I spoke with Steve Andrade, NBC.com and discussed, can affect how a second screen, for films in the work of live theater. While most, like the distraction of smartphones and tablets in a sequence, move the strata of consumption of the television, thinking about movies with plenty of free applications. When observed 70% of smartphone / tablet-TV owners are getting a second screen, there is a greater challenge, people in the cinema, not a smartphone. As a Multi-Tasker, I confessed that it is more difficult to concentrate on a single screen in live theater. While we were both laughing, just thinking about it.

Mississippi State SEC blogger Edward Aschoff: After the 2010 season in which the Bulldogs their first win of the new season, since 1999, exceeded expectations in Starkville.

Third-year coach Dan Mullen seems enough back on the offense continue to have momentum. Losing a couple of key members of the front seven on defense was disturbing, but the offense will always lead the way.

After the first two weeks, the Bulldogs have 588 yards and 46.5 points on average, but a decision of the goal-line quarterback Chris Relf would have changed everything for the Bulldogs. Mississippi State came within one foot to go short, overtime to Auburn, where Relf was arrested as the elapsed time, in a heartbreaker 41-34.

The Bulldogs were never the same after that hurts, that violations of the offensive line and they lost three of their next five years.

Mullen began the season with only two wins against opponents of the West, with two coming against Ole Miss Nothing changed in 2011 when the Bulldogs win SEC came against Kentucky and the rebels.

While the offense struggled all season, the defense of the Bulldogs of Mississippi in games held for much of the year. By scanning the non-conference schedule and blows at the end of the year, Ole Miss, Mississippi State became bowl eligible for the second consecutive year as Mullen and try to win his fifth game right pelvis.

The DEAC had lost a disappointing end of season four of their last five games. Considering they did in the series 3-9 after last season 2011 campaign was a success.

Wake Forest has a much better team, and get in a position to win the Atlantic Division title. Even more surprising was the fact that it was to win a last second field goal against Clemson, which won the division with 31-28 defeat of 12 November Deac. Wake Forest beat Maryland next week to become bowl eligible for the first time since 2008, and the fifth bowl appearance in 11 years, the program will be led by Jim Grobe.

Wake very successful this year by the maturation of quarterback Tanner Price, and the development of various actors around him, because the receiver can be attributed to Chris Givens. Cornerback Merrill Noel was ACC defensive rookie of the year and has 20 passes defended.

Deacons compiled a 6-3 (0667) show in their previous nine bowl appearances and is 3-1 in bowl games under Grobe. The Deac won five of six games last bowl. Wake Forest and Mississippi State will meet for the first time.

However, Canadian actor admitted the 1965 release was “a very good picture for what it is.”

This is not the first time the veteran actor a movie he once described as planned, “The Sound of Mucus.”

In 2009 he played Captain of “Flogging a dead horse,” if it is a time to meet with co-star Julie Andrews for “over the head with a card for Valentine’s Day hit” Working in comparison.

Sony pushes its unlimited music service to new countries and run on Apple devices in an effort to upstarts such as Spotify and Pandora to compete.

Tim Schaaff, president of Sony Entertainment Network, the music business, video and PlayStation family of products includes, in an interview said that Music Unlimited was better than Spotify to its parent company and the well-funded places experience in the music industry.

“Spotify is certainly a strong competitor,” said Mr. Schaaff. “But we can afford to invest in this business a long time. This is not the center of the company.”

Music Unlimited soon in the Nordic countries like Sweden, the home of Spotify founder Daniel Ek, who last week unveiled new features for the service of popular music to start.

“Sony is a global company,” said Mr. Schaaff. “If we are to a music service that we make this a very broad audience are committed to go.” Mr. Schaaff noted that Sony has already obtained the international rights to the entire catalog of music.

“[Music Unlimited] must be a major supplier for Sony products,” said Mr. Schaaff. “But to really make sense to consumers, you must meet them where they are.”

Although he rising popularity of Spotify and newly recognized public media of worms, he suggested, these companies do not understand how to use it on occasion.

“None of these companies make money,” he said. “Spotify is losing more money. Free is a great suggestion, but someone had to pay for it. He is currently paid by the venture capital community.”

Pandora, which went public in June, reported a profit of $ 638,000 in the previous quarter, but a loss of $ 7.9 million for the nine months to 31 October.

Sony tried some of its 90m users convert Playstation Network Music Unlimited subscribers, giving them 180 days free trial. So far the service has just trial and paying users 850,000, compared to paying subscribers Spotify 2.5m and 40m active users of worms.

Director Penelope Spheeris’ new comedy “Balls to the Wall,” was hardly Premiere in Europe, where piracy has begun to appear on the Internet, launching its American release in danger. Spheeris An assistant sent no less than 30 cease- the notice-and not a day in a desperate, but do not try to stop piracy.

“It’s like a forest fire with bare feet,” she said.

This helps explain why Spheeris and other support filmmakers tough new legislation making its way to Congress that the Department of Justice would be broad powers to shut down sites that host pirated material and would be the way for movie studios, record labels and other rights holders to seek injunctions against the Internet companies opened in the theft of intellectual property, which is allocating $ 58000000000 believe a year.

Internet entrepreneur Gabriel Weinberg as vehemently against the bill, he is anxious to punish the legitimate search engines that link and unwittingly pirated stifle innovation on the Web. As I raised just $ 3 million for his young search engine DuckDuckGo: “I do not spend anything on legal fees and court costs,” said Weinberg, president of the company.

Spheeris and Weinberg represented opposing sides in a battle in Congress that divided the two industries most glamorous and energy in California: Hollywood and Silicon Valley. On the one hand, the old media entertainment companies like Warner Bros. and 20th Century Fox, alleging that the search companies, such as fencing are hidden on private property by collecting advertising revenue on sites where the pirates. On the other hand, the new media giants such as Google, Yahoo, eBay and Facebook, say the proposed legislation threatens freedom of expression and stability of the World Wide Web technology to endanger

“It’s an epic battle between two enormous interest, both are very, very important to our economy,” said Rep. Anna G. Eshoo (D-Menlo Park), who represents Silicon Valley.

Pass the bills pending in the House and Senate, the Department of Justice the power of court orders U.S. to search engines and websites, access to foreign Web sites hawking pirated copies trying to block content . Private companies such as Paramount Pictures and Sony Music Entertainment may also be able to avoid court orders that these sites are looking to receive announcements and payment services in the United States

The fight is curiously non-party, with conservative Republicans and liberal Democrats and the two sides of the issue. Some of the division is based on the most dominant industry in the region is a member. Many Southern California representative position back in Hollywood, and most of Northern California by side with the Internet company. But political philosophy also plays a role, what anti-big-government conservative and liberal civil rights activists in opposition to give Washington what they fear would reach full power of censorship on the sites.

In the melee, the Motion Picture Association. of America. Hollywood’s lobbying arm-in-chief, recruited the support of a broad coalition of business and labor, including the AFL-CIO and the Recording Industry Association. of America. Since the bills to protect against counterfeiting and obtaining patents for prescription drugs, they also have the support of the Chamber of Commerce of U. S. and the pharmaceutical trade group PhRMA influence.

“Some in the tech community believe that even if the site is used at home to steal copyrighted material that is not their problem,”MPAA CEO Christopher J. Dodd, former senator from Connecticut, said recently in a speech. “It is time to take a firm stand against pirate sites, and parasites who profit from the outright theft of our content. ”

Opponents of the bill ‘also to support and millions of their messages. A coalition of Internet companies to take up full-page ads published in major newspapers this month on concerns about the dangers of the bill and urge the legislature a more targeted approach.

“This bill is really thermonuclear war on the Internet,” said Markham Erickson, director of NetCoalition, a trade group, the Internet and high-tech companies like Google, Yahoo, Amazon and Ebay is.

Such rhetoric infuriates top studio executives.

“It’s my understanding that the Internet was created to withstand a nuclear attack,” said Fox Filmed Entertainment Co-Chairman and CEO Jim Gianopulos. “I am curious to understand how a lawyer in the Justice Department implemented a procedure in federal court can take it.”

“The idea that this will kill the Internet is like a panic,” said Barry Meyer, Chairman and CEO of Warner Bros. Entertainment.

The MPAA estimates the nation’s more than 300,000 jobs, $ 16 billion in revenue and lost $ 58 billion in total economic output each year because of pirated movies, music, software and video games.

“It’s the number one problem for us,” said Scott Harbinson, international representative of the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees, which has 113,000 members in the United States and Canada. “If people are not investing in film production, because of piracy do not work our guys.”

But critics in the technology industry will see the legislation as a dangerous curve ahead.

Google advises Katherine Oyama author warned that the bill in the House “would be the legal architecture, economic and cultural, that led to the extraordinary growth of Internet commerce to undermine,” and said it would impose “sanctions severe and arbitrary without a fair trial. ”

Both parties bring money for the fight. Although the specific bill numbers are not available, the pharmaceutical industry $ 182 million on lobbying in Washington was dedicated in 2011, more than any other industry, according to the Center for Responsive Politics nonpartisan. The television industry, film and music and spent $ 91.8 million, with the computer industry and the Internet just behind at 91.5 million. Google will only have to spend $ 5.9 million.

No one disputes the parties is that online piracy is a problem. And because of the pending bills have bipartisan support, they have a good chance of passing next year, but probably with revisions that would reduce its scope.

The President of the Senate Judiciary Committee Patrick J. Leahy (D-Vt.), one of the key legislators behind the law, said he is prepared to revise his bill reflects the concerns of technology companies, but it is cardboard against the unauthorized sites.

“There are so many and so it was useful on the Internet. I want to protect that,” said Leahy. “But I do not want to protect thieves.”

Lovers of American music was when the digital music service Spotify has happened to the States this summer. It is already the largest in Europe paid service subscription music. Spotify is important to provide a solid catalog of music – some 15 million songs – for streaming on demand. Users can download songs for free and a portable music player for a monthly fee.
Ken Parks, director of Spotify’s New York office: “With a streaming service like Spotify, that everything in the world gives immediate access tends to differences between ownership and access to disappear.”

Some industry observers see Spotify offers, as the end of the music download business. But Daniel Ek – The company was born in Sweden, the founder and CEO of 28 years – feels differently.

“I do not want to be known as an iTunes killer,” said Ek Weekend Edition host Audie Cornish. “What we’re trying to really move people away from piracy in a legal model, the contribution of income to the music industry. It’s really that simple, and I think the key is through the creation of efficient products. ”

While the service may be cheaper, some artists prefer their fans to download their music or buy physical copies. Some major acts such as Coldplay and Adele held their latest publications and other services Spotify streaming music subscription as an artist-tenths cents each time one of their songs are broadcast.

However Ek stands by the business model of the business. “Spotify is only two years [old], almost three. In the short time we became the second largest source of revenue for the labels in Europe, and we have more than $ 150 million to be returned to industry the music. ”

Ek said that Spotify Premium subscribers, paying a $ 9.99 monthly subscription, the money each year more music than people who only download songs from iTunes and other services. “All of a sudden, by a participant in Spotify,” he said, “you really are a contribution of more than three times the music industry.”
