Lala launches free music service less advertising

September 22, 2023 By Dennis Bouchand 1 Comment

Lala is unveiling the first and only free fully licensed service to instantly provide anywhere web access to an existing music library such as iTunes. Replacing the outdated approach of uploading MP3 files from a PC, Lala introduces a licensed technology to instantly match songs from consumers’ personal music libraries with the Web-based catalog on Lala.com.

Adding new music to a licensed collection is easier and less expensive than ever. Sample any full song or complete album for free. Add songs to a web collection for only 10 cents, and buy DRM-free MP3 downloads for as low as an additional 79 cents.

All four major labels including EMI Music, Sony BMG Music Entertainment, Universal Music Group and Warner Music Group have agreements with Lala to stream and sell music. And unlike ad-supported music sites, Lala has garnered support from publishers and over 170,000 independent labels and distributors.

PoliRock Marries Politics and Music

September 15, 2023 By Andrew G. R. 1 Comment

Like it or not, music and politics go together like chocolate and peanut butter. Understanding the marriage is PoliRock.com, a social network that is looking to define the greatest political bands of all time.

Both musicians and fans can create personal profiles and do all of the usual stuff: create profiles, upload pictures, interact and so on. What sets PoliRock apart is that they are turning unsigned acts into candidates.

Each band can campaign for votes. The group without a record deal that garners the most votes by Election Day (November 4, 2008), will win a prize pack including $5,000.

There’s also a place for major label bands and indie label bands. Each category is ranked by votes, meaning that the more votes you receive, the higher on the list you appear.

Users can also assign a band with a political label. For example, PoliRock currently lists U2 as a “Republican” band. While I don’t necessarily love this aspect of the site, it’s sure to get some people talking.
