When one attempts to predict the future trends of music for 2011, there are many different factors that come into play. One of the primary factors that affect music trends are the artists who create music. Artists depict future trends in this industry, because their personal tastes and preferences are often the primary cause of most trends that occur within this industry. Consumers within this industry also depict trends as well though.
By reviewing the personal likes and dislikes of artists as they create their music, and the personal preferences of consumers as they access their music, we can develop a fairly clear picture of what the future of this industry has in store for the world.
Musicians of today are focusing on technologically advanced tools to create their art and the public is currently focusing on more technologically advanced tools to access their music.
By simply reviewing the trends that musicians are focusing on, we can easily tell that the future of music will be more technologically advanced than its current state. Since artists are depending on technologically advanced music styles more and more each year, we can certainly expect to witness new sounds and new beats to arise in 2011.
Consumers continue to avoid purchasing albums in stores too. Since consumers are continuing to avoid purchasing albums in stores, and they continue to rely on technologically advanced resources in order to access their music, we can count on the advances in music playback devices to play an important role in this industry in the future as well.
So, in summary, the overall trends in music for 2011 will likely be based primarily around technological advances. As technology continues to expand the horizons of the music industry, musicians will not only have access to more sounds and new trends, but they will also be able to distribute their music to their fans in a variety of new ways in the future as well.

Music stardom are squashed by her faulty label contract owned by two dirt bags. Nick Carr (Harvey Kestrel) runs a shady management group, while Linda’s manager, a gangster-wannabe lowlife named Raji (Vince Vaughn), struts around with his gay bodyguard-wannabe-actor (the rock) pretending to be intimidating. Nick and Raji are anything but relieved when chilli steals Linda away from her contract and promises to turn her into a star. Chilli takes Linda to Tommy’s old independent record label which is now owned by widowed Edie Athens (Uma Thurman). , is unable to help the protege, as she quickly finds out that her shady husband had been murdered leaving $300,000 in debt to sin Lasalle (Cedric the entertainer), a suburban, white-picket fence gangster record mogul. Sin and his posse (run by Andre 3000), wants their money badly and vows to kill chilli if they don’t get it. So we have a rather silly plot where three different groups of people want chilli dead yet somehow, they can’t seem to get it together to accomplish anything. What’s unfortunate about “be cool” is that they have all the makings of a potential blockbuster but fails on a redundant and tired script. “get shorty” was more cynical and satirical of the industry while “be cool” was simply an excuse to put a stellar cast together and attempt to make a comedy out of it. Vince Vaughn as an Ebonics-speaking nitwit is a routine that becomes equally as annoying as the rock’s flamboyant portrayal of a gay aspiring actor. Cedric the entertainer and Andre 3000 are placed in stereotypical roles that do little to amuse. Christina Milian is given ample opportunity to showcase her musical talents (. Including a blazing performance with Aerosmith on stage in a crowded arena. ) but for a character whose the sole center of all the chaos, she somehow manages to escape being involved with, well, anything. Music stardom are fuzzier than ever ? a fact best exemplified by reality-TV shows such as idol and the crossover celebrities they create. Adapts itself to this world with a mix of personality interviews (Donald Trump, Reba Mcentire), in-studio performances (Missy Elliott, Enrique Iglesias) and celeb gossip.
Music stardom are fuzzier than ever–a fact best exemplified by reality-TV shows such as idol and the crossover celebrities they create. On-air adapts itself to this world with a mix of personality interviews (Donald trump, Reba Mcentire), in-studio performances (Missy Elliott, Enrique Iglesias) and celeb gossip. It’s like total request live but older, or entertainment tonight but with more screaming fans. Granted, nobody asked for either one, and on-air was shaky in its first week. Seacrest may be better suited to the more controlled idol than to unpredictable live variety. When Richie brought a pair of goats with her to plug her rural reality show, one of the beasts did what well-fed goats do, all over the stage. Another talk host might have improvised a zinger out of the barnyard blooper; Seacrest just seemed icked out.

The business of music is boring and uninteresting, and they tend to avoid such matters altogether. But i usually discover that those who can’t be bothered to learn the business end up becoming victims of unscrupulous sharks in the water. It is my firm opinion that if you are going to continue to write songs and if you hope to promote them beyond your own living room, you will eventually encounter these matters — either armed with knowledge or vulnerably nave. It is my hope that these articles will at least provide you with some basic information that will allow you to be taken seriously as a songwriter. Since it is my humble attempt to be “hip” in the way i approach the top ten questions, i will follow David letterman’s example and start from the bottom of the list and go up. Most of us begin writing songs simply because we can’t help ourselves.
The business of music is a whole different animal from when i began,” says Davis. She advises potential industry insiders to go to school and get a degree. “you have to know what you’re doing because the money is greater, the risks are greater, the audience is greater,” she explains. Davis also suggests being “voyeuristic-listen to every good conversation you can and listen to the bad ones and be able to differentiate between them. Although it can be hard for women to find positions in the music business, plus-size women don’t seem to find it especially difficult working in such an image conscious industry. “i don’t remember my weight ever getting in my way at any level,” recalls Davis. “i look in the mirror and see perfect because i don’t look from the outside, i look from within. I host my own stages-I’m the one who gets up in front of a thousand people and I’m the one who introduces the band. I’m the one who begs people to sign up on mailing lists and buy cds and support live music. So, if my weight was an issue, i don’t think I’d get up in front of people talking the way i do.
The business of music is more often than not a world of small minds and little soul, where success is dictated by the ability to locate trends and accordingly manufacture the most lucrative product available. In this context, the lowest forms of capitalism emerge in insidious ways: the isolation and ghettoization of easily controlled “genres” and the encouragement of planned obsolescence as ways to keep up the flow of “product” become the techniques for success. Vision, integrity, significance and expression — the driving forces behind the creative act — are sacrificed as mere obstructions to the workings of business. Bill Laswell has made a career out of fighting these forms of decadence and stasis in the name of creativity and magic. In 1990 he formed axiom records, the ultimate vehicle and outlet for projects that consistently challenge beliefs in various networks and levels of the status quo, delighting and angering his fans and critics alike. His work is based first and foremost in daring and original ideas that consistently transcend existing boundaries of genre, geography, culture, and context. Sorcery: the systematic cultivation of enhanced consciousness or non-ordinary awareness & its deployment in the world of deeds & objects to bring about desired results.
“with the new bolt-on solution, rights flow has once again demonstrated an ability to move quickly to changes in the market, providing scalable back office licensing solutions. They provide an invaluable service to independent labels”. “it’s great that there is finally a service that makes it easier for non-u. The business of music is knowing what distribution points you can and can’t control. Concert tickets, t-shirts, limited edition releases, exclusive events…this is what you need to focus on. And the most important piece of information you can get from your fans is their email address. Don’t ask them to add you as a friend on myspace, become on fan on facebook, follow you on twitter. But get their email address because you control your own newsletter. Don’t become beholden to social media outlets as your main connection to your fanbase. This is your way to write directly to your fans about new tour dates, what’s happening in the studio, new merch, ways that fans can take an active roll in promoting your music. It’s interesting to see how the smart indie labels are operating in these times. They aren’t afraid to put download codes in their vinyl releases and give the consumers what they want. They look for ways to truly represent an artist’s vision especially if it’s outside of a simple cd release (see arcade fire’s mirror noir, phish’s joy box set or nine inch nails ultimate deluxe ghosts release). I’m not going to cry too many tears for the other record labels. Just ask any of the older artists who never receive their royalty checks or even the established artists that had to sue the labels to get accurate accounting (even though most settle out of court and continue with the same label).
The business of music is changing rapidly, and i think over the last year and a half I’ve learned more than i ever have, being from a digital standpoint, from a record standpoint, learning what the fan relationship means. Because for the longest time, the label and whomever else stood between the artist and the fan, which made it hard for the artist to get their direct point across. All you knew about the artist, really, was music, and the only way you could talk to them was basically through fan letters or things of that nature. Now you got twitter, you got facebook, stuff like that, so I’ve used a lot of that to my advantage, which was very instrumental in the success of this album.

I’ve recently come across Bandcamp.com and I’m impressed with the service it provides for artists/bands (and for music fans for that matter.)
It lets bands sell their music as downloads so that the bands themselves keep all of the profit from those sales. Screw the record labels. It’s the artists that should be making money [...]

Our illustrious Mr. Whitperson was feeling a bit under the weather today, but he had some time to put together a rocking podcast to pay homage to the 10 year anniversary of Phish’s Big Cypress NYE2000 celebration down in Florida, easily one of the most important concerts of the decade. Love it.

I’ve mentioned here a few times before how much I like AmazonMP3 (I think it’s way better than ITunes) for purchasing music downloads. The selection is outstanding and I like that the mp3 quality is better than it is on ITunes and that you don’t have to use ITunes as your player (I prefer Winamp) [...]
