Nashville's giant Gaylord Entertainment Company is continuing a company-wide reorganization by dropping its Internet business. A statement issued Tuesday (December 5) said Gaylord will divest itself of Gaylord Digital by the end of the year by selling or shutting down that division's four Internet sites: Christian music site Musicforce.com, broadcasting site Lightsource.com, country site MusicCountry.com and indie-artist site Songs.com. The company said 85 jobs were cut immediately, with another 31 expected to be cut by year's end. The company earlier abandoned plans to launch a record label, and it had previously sold CMT and TNN to Viacom (sonicnet.com's parent company). Gaylord Web sites serving other company holdings, such as the Grand Ole Opry and radio station WSM, were not affected. ... Music and video clips by English pop quintet Quickspace are available on the Matador Records Web site. The page features video of the band performing "They Shoot Horse Don't They" at London's Electric Ballroom on Nov. 2, as well as MP3s and RealAudio clips of other tracks from The Death of Quickspace, released in March. ... Welsh rockers Stereophonics have posted an acoustic version of the new track "Lying in the Sun" on their Web site. The song is scheduled to appear on the trio's forthcoming third album, J.E.E.P. ("Just Enough Education to Perform"), due in the spring. ... When Tim McGraw debuted his new song "Things Change" on the televised CMA Awards on October 4, the performance was taped, converted to MP3 format, and then traded by users of Napster, according to a spokesperson for the singer. Then, some enterprising country radio stations downloaded it from Napster and began playing it. ... British punk-pop anarchists Chumbawamba have released a song online that features unauthorized samples of Metallica, Eminem, Dr. Dre, the Beatles and Madonna, among others. The band is encouraging fans to download the song, titled "Pass It Along (MP3 Mix)," from chumba.com and share it with their friends. The song is structured on Metallica's "Enter Sandman" and includes the voice of drummer Lars Ulrich condemning Napster. "It's not passing music around for free which is killing music; no, it's the industry which is stifling creativity by only ever thinking in terms of dollars and pounds," Chumbawamba vocalist Dunstan Bruce said in a statement. "This is about commerce rather than art or integrity." ... Rock legend and Internet music champion David Bowie is offering a 1972 live version of "Ziggy Stardust" for download to fans who purchased his Bowie at the Beeb three-CD set. The track, which was accidentally omitted from 250,000 copies of the set, can be downloaded using a beta version of MusicMatch Jukebox. Similar to the controversial My.MP3.com service, CD owners must insert the Bowie disc in their CD-ROM drive, and CD recognition software will allow downloading of the track. ... Music From Van-Pires, the first studio disc from Who bassist John Entwistle's John Entwistle Band, is available at Who concerts and at www.johnentwistle.com. The songs were recorded for the short-lived 1997 children's television show "Van-Pires," about derelict cars whose junkyard is struck by a meteor, causing the cars to come to life and suck gasoline from other cars. The disc includes "Bogeyman," built from an early recording of Enwistle and late Who drummer Keith Moon, and "Don't Be a Sucker," with Mountain guitarist Leslie West. ... — sonicnet.com staff report |
