For almost two years, Spotify has been trying to launch in the US, having hoped to go live back in 2009.

RIAA Fails to Freeze Limewire Assets
Back in June, the 13 record companies sought to freeze assets of LimeWire, “accusing its founder of fraudulently trying to evade hundreds of millions of dollars in damages over copyright infringement."1 Since then, the judge has denied the RIAA's motion to freeze LimeWire's assets.

The Jazz Bakery, one of Los Angeles' most revered jazz establishments, is still homeless after closing its doors last spring, but it is still alive and living off the fat of the land.

An Artist's Perspective on uPlaya: Part Two
Yesterday we ran the beginning of a rather long interview we did with the Block Scholars' David Bell about uPlaya, to offer a perspective that differed from its founder, David Meredith. Part two is after the jump. Because a computer algorithm determines your uPlaya score, do you think it's even more objective than getting the opinion ...

Herbie Hancock's got something to say about the chaos in the world and he's saying it with music. He calls it The Imagine Project, which is the title to his latest recording released in June on his own Hancock Records label. It's also the theme for his world tour that's returning to the U.S in August.
