BEIJING (AP) - Customers in China of Apple Inc.'s iTunes online music store were unable to download songs this week, and an activist group said Beijing was trying to block access to a new Tibet-themed album. In Internet forums, iTunes users complained they had been unable to download music since Monday. That was a day after the Art of Peace Foundation announced the release of ``Songs for Tibet,'' with music by Sting, Alanis Morissette, Garbage and... MORE

What Time is It?
(3)
In response to DLuebbert's post of a John Scofield and Pat Metheny video, Brittany asked about appreciating this kind of music. He gave a great answer about rhythm, and it's well worth the time to read. His response reminds me of a game I play with my kids, called "What time is it?" Most music is built up using rhythmic patterns that repeat over certain counts. Musicians speak of these as "measures". When you listen to a song, you can count out the beats until you he... MORE

Apparently, when you name-drop Russian novelist Vladimir Nabokov, people aren't impressed. Police frontman Sting is the worst lyricist, according to Blender Magazine. The Police frontman made #1 thanks to lines that betray "mountainous pomposity (and) cloying spirituality," the music magazine said. Besides the Russian novelist name- dropping, the Police frontman was blasted for other such faux pauxs as the tune "Don't Stand So Close to Me," quoting a Volvo bumper stick... MORE

Sting and his wife, Trudie Styler have been ordered to pay their former chef, Jane Martin $51,000. This shouldn’t put too big of a dent in the pocket of Sting since the Police currently have the third highest grossing tour so far this year. Martin, the former chef, had worked for the rock couple for eight years and claims she was fired coincidentally after she became pregnant. Martin filed a sexual discrimination claim. A Southampton employment tribunal ruled in Martin’s... MORE

A Judge ruled yesterday that The Police frontman Sting, along with wife, Trudie Styler, unlawfully dismissed Jane Martin after she became pregnant, which they determined was a form of sexual discrimination. The couple issued a statement saying that they are "devastated" by the verdict. "Jane Martin was always treated well and generously as an employee, and we remain stunned at her actions and at the verdict of the tribunal," Styler said in the statement. "I am devast... MORE

So I'm watching "Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip" the other night. It's TV auteur Aaron ("The West Wing") Sorkin's new behind-the-scenes dramedy set at a fictionalized late-night sketch comedy show a la "Saturday Night Live." It runs on NBC, Mondays at 10 PM -- at least for the time being. (The critics raved, but the ratings are middling despite crackling dialogue and great chemistry between Matthew Perry and Bradley Whitford as the producing/writing honchos at Studio 60.) ... MORE

One of pop culture criticism's best kept secrets is Michael Snyder, who is now Mogging away right here: http://mog.com/Mike_the_Knife Snyder, former rock critic for the San Francisco Chronicle (who also reviewed movies on the Alex Bennet show) and elsewhere, has been writing screenplays of late, but we here at MOG convinced him that the world needs his clever takes on the world of music. His first two posts find him in fine form, and I have the feeling that as he set... MORE
