Music Matters - Nick Cave (23-3-10) from Music Matters on Vimeo.

A new series of videos from the British Music Matters group, promoting legal downloads.

I like all of these. In addition to the embedded Nick Cave one (by Sarah Cox & Emma Lazenby), there are stories about Sugar Ros, Blind Willie Johnson, Kate Bush and others here

Music Matters are putting a new 'Music Matters' mark onto legal download and streaming sites.

Here's Kate Bush (by Elliot Dear):

MGMT stream leaked album

It's one way of dealing with piracy... Since discovering that their new album, due for release in mid-April, was widely available on torrent sites, MGMT have posted it on their site for people to listen to, making it clear that the version for sale have a much higher sound quality.

'Come Back' by Chicane

Very good, and well done for getting 70,000 views in 2 days!



The internet loves you, even if she doesn't!

OK Go - Embedded video thanks to State Farm

This is the new video from the band OK Go. It's pretty amazing - it takes the simple 'dominos' / 'Cog' idea, but pushes it pretty much as far as it can possibly go. Make sure you watch to the end!



What's also interesting is that it's got a sponsorship credit at the end, to the insurance company State Farm.

OK Go have recently complained that EMI, their record company, have disabled the embedding for their YouTube videos. Disabling the embedding means more money for EMI (YouTube pay royalties on views on YouTube, but not embedded videos), but has cut the number of video views by 90%, so means that OK Go get less exposure.

The deal with State Farm (& I'm amazed at how low-key it is) allows me to embed the video, and I think it's the first time someone's done this.
