...Fan Funded Labels This article, written by Damien Chaney, was published in International Journal of Arts Management the 2 of December 2010. It is untitled “What Future for Fan-Funded Labels in the Music Recording Industry? The case of MyMajorComapny and ArtistShare”. It deals with the apparition of Fan-Funded Labels. With two examples, the writer explain us how these companies are working and why they have grown up. First of all, since the arrival of the Internet, the cultural world of music has been changed due to dematerialization of media such as MP3 music. Indeed, sales of CDs were the center of the music recording industry in the past. Nowadays, people don’t have to buy CDs to listen to music. They can buy music directly via the Internet, or listen to music Through this revolution, artists and labels face a real crisis because of illegal downloading. The history of these labels began to rapidly changing rule of the consumer in the society. Indeed, the role has grown in importance over the years to be more active in the process of consumption. These companies take a website form allowing users to select and to fund artists to see their environmental record albums. The consumer becomes a kind of producer of the artist, by involving directly in the musical project. It’s like a cultural and artistic sponsorship. In return, users don’t expect a return on investment only financially but also in terms of communication, with some recognition on the fact of participating...

Having an overall view of the inventory will be beneficial to the entire company. If the marketing department has he ability to see the inventory usage then they will know where they need to market certain products better.

...Information Systems Proposal Vince Wainwright BIS/220 2/16/2014 Instructor Alizadeh Scenario: Imagine that you and a business partner are considering starting a small, brick & mortar, nostalgic record store. Your friend does not have much experience with information systems or technology, and needs a basic understanding of the different types of information systems available to businesses. Write a 350 to 700 word proposal of the types of information systems that would work well for your chosen business, and their benefits and drawbacks. A brick and mortar record store must rely on its information systems for the smooth operation of daily operations. The types of information systems that are critical to a record store are Office Information System (employee tasking and email), Transaction Processing System (buying), and a Management Office System (tracking). These three systems are the key components for day to day operation of a successfully ran record store. Employees run the store thereby communication and work hours are important to log on a daily basis. An Office Information System will enable the managers and employees to engage in communications of daily activities, send emails, create reminders, maintain work hours and schedules. Communications of daily activities range from tasking to weekly schedules. Emails are used for fast communication and storing a paper trial of previous conversations and tasking. The maintenance of a weekly schedule...

...Marga fuerte, que fue aceptada por el mercado. Lo anterior fue complementado con las fortalezas en la distribución que ya tenía Roustam Tariko, y con una estrategia de merchandising adecuada, enfocada en que el producto estuviese disponible en los lugares de compra y de consumo. Todos estos factores se combinaron para dar lugar a un rápido crecimiento en el mercado ruso. Considero entonces que los orígenes de su brand equity están sumamente relacionados con la identidad de marca que se logró construir, la cual se apoya fundamentalmente en las tradiciones rusas y en la calidad, y con la estratégica distribución del producto. 2- The value of horizontal brand extensions: Are the banking and vodka businesses compatible with a single brand? Can a single brand offer a common promise to such seemingly different categories? Is the brand getting diluted or can it benefit from synergies? En principio la estrategia de marca única para distintos negocios, como el de las bebidas y los negocios financieros, parecería no del todo adecuada. Sin embargo por lo visto en el caso, no considero que sea desventajoso para ninguno de los dos negocios las asociaciones que puedan establecerse entre los mismos. La marca Russian Standard se enfoca en demostrar a los rusos que la marca sabe como estar a la altura de sus...

...Russian Standard Vodka 1) Understanding the sources of brand equity: What are the sources of the brand equity of the Russian Standard brand? Why was the brand able to enjoy such rapid success in Russia? 2) The value of horizontal brand extensions: Are the banking and vodka business compatible with a single brand? Can a single brand offer a common promise to such seemingly different categories? Is the brand getting diluted or can it benefit from synergies? 3) Managing global branding: Should Russian Standard adapt the positioning of the brand and its marketing mix (name, price, packaging, distribution, communication) or should it try to keep the positioning and marketing that have been successful in Russia, in order to create a consistent global brand? 1) El dueño de la marca Russian Standard tenía en claro 2 objetivos: a) desarrollar una línea original de productos y servicios en múltiples categorías que puedan cubrir calidades y standares internacionales; b) crearía una marca donde los rusos se sintieran identificados tanto localmente como internacionalmente, y convirtiéndola de esta manera en la primer marca Premium de Rusia. Quería que los Rusos se identificaran con la marca y también puedan ser identificados en el mundo con el claim de Made in Rusia. Quería que asocien el vodka en el mundo como originariamente de Rusia, como lo es Coca con USA o Chanel en Francia. Por ende la estrategia de la marca estaba orientada a captar la atención (brand...

...In the early 2000’s, the genre of pop punk/emo pop was widely popular with the teen generation. Earlier bands, such as Green Day, Blink 182, and Fall Out Boy all set the stage for Panic! At the Disco to release their first album, A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out on September 27, 2005. The lyrics on the album were composed by the band’s lead guitarist, Ryan Ross. Other main members of the band include lead singer, Brendon Urie, and drummer, Spencer Smith. Even though Panic! At the Disco has continued to release several albums, none of them have ever come close to having the same effect their first album had on the music community. This particular album has a different but catchy sound to it, story-like lyrics, and unique vocalization. To begin, A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out definitely has a different but catchy sound to say the least. The album starts off with a song titled “Introduction.” The song itself has no lyrics; it is merely there to introduce the listener to the music they should expect to hear. One of the most interesting parts of this song is, when listening to the tracks in the correct order, the ending of the song fades out into the beginning of the next song, creating a seamless transition. The entire album is very well put together and sounds very much like a play or musical in the way it is assembled. The first seven songs of the album are heavily techno induced and introduce drum machines and synths. After the first seven songs, there is a song appropriately titled “Intermission...

What can I give to save me? ~A Single Moment Of Sincerity Album: Stand Up And Scream Asking Alexandria, a band that started in Dubai actually by lead guitarist Ben Bruce and his friends. They weren’t called Asking Alexandria at first, but they later changed their name to AA and then disbanded. Ben moved back to the U.K and was looking for bandmates where he saw Danny Worsnop’s cover of a song from the band Alesana. Ben contacted Danny and they started the band Asking Alexandria. They recruited other members such as Cameron Liddell (guitarist) and James Cassells (drummer) and finally Sam Bettley (bassist). The gang flew out to the U.S and started looking for a studio and record label – which they found shortly after their arrival. They recorded their first album Stand Up And Scream with producer Joey Sturgis and under the record label Sumerian Records. (Grand record label if I might add) Their debut album was released Sep. 15th 2009. They started touring and endured in countless interviews. *Interview time children* Interviewer: So guys, can I have you personally introduce yourself and your role in the band? Danny: Hi I’m Danny and I play the voice thing. Ben: I’m Ben and I play guitar and sometimes backing vocals. James: Hi I’m James and I play the drooms. (Drums) Cam: I’m Cam and...

...Entertainment is a form of activity that holds the attention and interest of an audience, or gives pleasure and delight. It can be an idea or a task, but is more likely to be one of the activities or events that have developed over thousands of years specifically for the purpose of keeping an audience's attention. Although people's attention is held by different things, because individuals have different preferences in entertainment, most forms are recognisable and familiar. Storytelling, music, drama, dance, and different kinds of performance exist in all cultures, were supported in royal courts, developed into sophisticated forms and over time became available to all citizens. The process has been accelerated in modern times by an entertainment industry which records and sells entertainment products. Entertainment evolves and can be adapted to suit any scale, ranging from an individual who chooses a private entertainment from a now enormous array of pre-recorded products; to a banquet adapted for two; to any size or type of party, with appropriate music and dance; to performances intended for thousands; and even for a global audience. The experience of being entertained has come to be strongly associated with amusement, so that one common understanding of the idea is fun and laughter, although many entertainments have a serious purpose. This may be the case in the various forms of ceremony, celebration, religious festival, or satire for example. Hence, there is the possibility...

...supporting fellow pop-punkers All Time Low for a joint eleven date tour. This is the first time Yellowcard have toured the UK, despite having over three million album sales under their belt and a dedicated British fan base. Yellowcard wasted no time getting to know the welsh crowd, bursting straight into ‘Way Away’, the song is a catchy punk tune, which has an addition of electric violin adding an element of uniqueness. Lead Singer ‘Ryan Key’ informs the welsh crowd that they are here to play as much music as possible, performing a mixture of tracks from all three previous albums and some new songs from their upcoming album. The bands next single ‘hang you up’ could easily set the band up for mainstream success, with its acoustic built track it really is hard not to get stuck into this song. The crowd come together and appreciate Yellowcard’s last single ‘For you and your denial’ which goes down a storm with the crowd. Not forgetting older material, Yellowcard perform some of their better known songs from their 2006 release including ‘Lights and Sound’ and ‘Rough Landing, Holly’. For a band that has been out of the picture for two years, Yellowcard have a set that is completely flawless. Concluding their performance with their 2002 breakthrough hit ‘Ocean Avenue’, the song receives rightful recognition and even gets the young attendance singing along. With the release of their new album on March 21st, this year seems to be the year where Yellowcard will make their name dominate...

...Isis McCullough RIM 3780 Professor Keel November 22, 2010 Fantasia Three long years have elapse since Fantasia Barrino released a new album. “Back To Me” is her third album, and I must say this album is a hit. This album went back to what’s missing in the R&B world such as great melody, meaningful lyrics, and soulful singing. The first single, “Bittersweet” is talking about being in love with someone can be pleasant, but then it can be sour. “You know sometimes you have to put yourself first” are the first words you hear when you listen to this album. “I’m Doing Me” is the second single off the album that has raised to the No. 16 spot on Billboards’ R&B/Hip-Hop chart. This album has 12 tracks that you can take pleasure in listening to. It’s not following the music trend that a pretty face and a nice body will sell your album. Fantasia is a beautiful person inside and out, but her realness and angelic voice should be enough to sell this album. Fantasia has proven herself on this album by singing songs that we all have heard before. You can feel that her heart is in every track on this album. She is in the league with the other R&B divas such as Beyonce, Alicia Keys, Mary J. Blige, India Arie, Jill Scott, and Joss Stone. Fantasia recruited some of the hit makers to work with her on this album. Claude Kelly, Rico Love, Cee-lo Green, and Ne-Yo who wrote Beyonce’s hit, “To The Left,” another all time ladies anthem. “Man Of The House,” “I’m Here” and “Who’s Been...

...company flows and then work on physical security. The following paper will have suggestions that is important for the network to implement as soon as possible because these are high network risks. By looking at a network diagram the company will surely get attacked if nothing is done to prevent these risks. A network will need a firewall, secure the wireless connection and work on single points of failure. The network will need a firewall between the cloud and the router. A good firewall, configured properly will help screen out hackers, viruses and worms. A firewall will carefully analyze data entering and exiting the network based on your configuration. It ignores information that comes from an unsecured, unknown or suspicious locations. In reference to the diagram a hard ware firewall would be prefer over a software one. Hardware-based firewalls protect all the computers on your network. A hardware-based firewall is easier to maintain and administer than individual software firewalls. While not necessary a security issue there are many parts of the network have single point of failure. Single point of failure is when one piece of hardware goes down so does the whole network. In no part of the diagram does it show any back up to the one router that is the backbone of the whole network. There are other parts of the network that needs to backed up too, the web server, wireless router and all switched all have no backups. I would recommend a offsite storage to back up critical...
