MP3.com's star-crossed My.Mp3.com service has sparked yet another lawsuit — this time from fellow online-music pioneers EMusic and several of the company's affiliated independent labels. The lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court for New York's Southern District, alleges that the My.MP3.com service allows users to listen to albums online that are licensed exclusively to EMusic. A spokesperson for MP3.com, which has settled similar lawsuits from the five major label groups, did not return a call for comment by press time. ... The dance-music Web site Raveworld.net is holding a contest for the ch of Groove Armada's hit single "I See You Baby" (RealAudio excerpt). After downloading the original track from the site, fans can use the production method of their choice to rework it before submitting it to the contest judges, Groove Armada's Tom Findlay and Andy Cato along with an employee of the duo's label, Jive Electro. The winner will receive a Korg MS200 Sampler Keyboard, with runner-ups awarded a Harmon Kardon speaker system and copies of Groove Armada's recent The Remixes collection, which includes tracks by DJ Dan & Terry Mullan and Tim "Love" Lee. ... Country singer Craig Morgan's new holiday single, "The Kid in Me," is being offered as a promotional download to help raise donations for the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee. The download can be obtained by visiting the St. Jude official Web site at www.countrycares.org. The single is not for sale and is not on Morgan's debut album. ... An MP3 clip of a solo track from former Kula Shaker frontman Crispian Mills is available at ElectricArtists.com. The song, "Anti-Material," is the first solo work from the singer since his split with Kula Shaker last year. ... Our Lady Peace have completed a video for their single "In Repair," which appears on their forthcoming album, Spiritual Machines. The band has posted a 30-second clip of the video on its Web site, although a spokesperson for the band's U.S. label said the song "Life" will likely be the first track released to radio in the U.S. Spiritual Machines will hit stores in Canada next week, and is due in the States in March. ... 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. ... 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." ... 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 |
