Streaming Music Services Google, Amazon, Apple, Spotify and Pandora Will Have to Pay Musicians More In Royalties
Copyright Royalty Board has Helped Raise Rates for Songwriters by 43.8 Percent A major victory has taken place in the music industry regarding an increase in royalties to be paid tos musicians within streaming music.

Run the Jewels Perform on Austin City Limits and Tour the United States
An Arena Tour with Breakthrough Hiphop Run the Jewels have recently performed on Austin City Limits, and released the live performance on YouTube. El-P and Killer Mike have been organically building an international audience without the use of a major label pushing advertisements across the board. Their natural talent continues to attract people worldwide to their music. Killer Mike shares some of his wisdom in this quote: "We've reached a crux in this nation and globally where we can all let fear and individualism and selfishness keep us in our individual houses, our individual states and our individual nations and

GRAMMYs Live Results and Winners Featuring Kraftwerk, LCD Soundsystem and Additional Acts
Kendrick Lamar, Chuck Loeb, The Defiant Ones and More Pick Up GRAMMYs The GRAMMY Awards are already announcing winners for the ceremony today. We recently did a prediction article going through the acts we find to be the best overall. Overall, I am extremely disappointed in the voting for the electronic music categories. The Best Dance Recording went to 'Tonite' by LCD Soundsystem. No offense to this group, but they haven't been relevant in a decade. In my view, this win could be tied to their connection to Colombia Records. The GRAMMYs and other major award ceremonies have limited independent artists over

GRAMMY Nominated Robert Randolph Is Up for Best Contemporary Blues Album for Got Soul CBS Saturday Morning got a taste of soul music with Robert Randolph and the Family Band. This past Friday the band made a visit to the CBS studios in New York before heading to Madison Square Garden on Sunday for the GRAMMYs. I personally love this decision by the CBS production team.

MGMT Set to Release ‘Little Dark Age’ on February 9
A Melodrama Form of Music from MGMT MGMT is releasing a new album titled Little Dark Age on February 9 via Colombia Records. As the band matures, their sound and style evolves along with them. Their 2007 release Oracular Spectacular was an excellent form of music. Since that album I have been underwhelmed with their tone and style of studio music. In contrast, their live performances have improved. People have criticized their live performances, but after reviewing footage of their Bonnaroo 2009 set via a fan's smartphone, I have to say the performance doesn't look that bad. People often argue about
