"There's been a lot of speculation as of late with regard to the future of digital music, but judging by the results of a recent report by Nielsen Soundscan, music sales have only increased this past year. According to the report, sales were up 2.1 percent in 2009 from 2008, with consumers snagging 1.16 million digital tracks (an 8.3 percent increase from '08) and 76.4 million digital albums (a 16.1 percent bump). In fact, 40 percent of all music purchases in 2009 were digital." A few months old now but still very interesting

Listen to runner up band from Mt. SAC's 1st Annual Battle of the Bands. They surpassed 14 other bands to finish in the 2nd spot. This says a lot about how good a band that has only been together for five months. \n\nPersonally, I was disappointed they didn't win the BOTB event. Talent scouts were more interested in FOREWALLS than any other performer. \n\nListen to an exclusive 4-track preview with a special guest appearence with the band, right here: http://thegreatunknowns.podOmatic.com/entry/2010-04-23T08_17_14-07_00\n\nRead my exclusive interview with the band:\nhttp://greatunknownsmusicexpose.blogspot.com/2010/04/introducing-rocks-best-new-and-unheard.html\n\nThanks for checking out this weeks episode. \n \nFollow The Great Unknowns Presents at http://twitter.com/great_unknowns

"Tunited is a UK based music platform, dreamed up by Midge Ure. Bringing together various elements of services like Drowned in Sound, Bandcentral and MySpace, the site will be part shop, part social network, designed for both for listeners and artists. The creators are placing a strong emphasis on ethics and independent music culture, equating it to a 'fairtrade iTunes'."
