There was a time when most aspiring musicians had the same dream: to sign a deal with a major record label. Now, with the structure of the music business shifting radically, some industry iconoclasts are sidestepping the music giants and inventing new ways for artists to make and market their music – without ever signing a traditional recording contract. The latest effort comes from Brian Message, manager of the alternative band Radiohead, which gave away its last album, “In Rainbows,” on the Internet. His venture, called Polyphonic, which was announced this month, will look to invest a few hundred thousand… Read more »

It’s 4 a.m. on the last night of the South by Southwest music conference, and Jim James is belting out Rod Stewart’s “You’re in My Heart.” A few hours earlier, the My Morning Jacket frontman dazzled an intimate crowd at an Austin church with a mostly solo acoustic set, and the full band’s three other performances during the week were some of the most acclaimed of the industry event. But of all the places James could be right now, it’s a cozy terrace suite at Austin’s famed Driskill Hotel, surrounded by a few close friends, a bucket of Miller Lites… Read more »
The wedding may have been Alice in Wonderland, but the honeymoon is shaping up to be more Ashlee in underground. “We’re in the basement of a house,” newlywed Pete Wentz told Ryan Seacrest on his radio show this morning. “We’ve got some, like, blow-up palm trees down here. It’s pretty nice, man. A little fake-‘n’-bake tanning booth. It’s gonna look like we went on a private jet somewhere. And we’re gonna save that 30 grand. “The paparazzi thinks we left on some private jet or whatever. You know, the truth is, we’re just sitting down here, eating DiGiorno pizza, getting… Read more »
