There is a new feature in iTunes 8 grid view that allows you to determine whether music in a given playlist or library will continue to play after the selected artist (or album, genre, composer, or selection) is finished. In grid view, you can play an Album (assuming Grid view is set to Albums) by clicking the Play Album button that appears when you mouse over an album cover. brbr Now, by default, when the chosen album is finished playing, iTunes will stop. But what if you want iTunes to continue playing the other albums in your playlist/library? Then instead of clicking Play Album, hold down the Option key first. When you do, the Play Album button changes to read just Play. Option-click on Play, and once your album is finished, iTunes will go to the next album in your playlist/library. brbr This is also handy if you want to shuffle between albums in Grid view. If you have shuffle enabled and click Play Album, iTunes will just shuffle and play songs from that album.

Leave it to the folks behind the Grammys (that would be The Recording Academy) to put things right when it comes to movie music. Sure, they have a bazillion categories, but, unlike the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (the Oscars), they know a good musical score when they hear it and don't allow outrageous reasons to disqualify it.

Specifically, we're talking about The Dark Knight, whose composers James Newton Howard and Hans Zimmer were disqualified for consideration because they listed too many people on the cue sheet, and There Will Be Blood, whose composer Jonny Greenwood was DQed because the Academy thought his score was "diluted by the use of tracked themes or other pre-existing music." Both scores were nominated for a Grammy last night, in the category "Best Score Soundtrack Album For Motion Picture, Television Or Other Visual Media." (Bear in mind that their eligibility period is different from the Oscars, which is why they're just now getting around to Blood.) Yay to the Grammy people for getting it right!

The other nominees for best score were John Williams for Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull, Ramin Djawada for Iron Man, and Thomas Newman for WALL-E. More cool Grammy movie nominees include the title song from Walk Hard - The Dewey Cox Story (Judd Apatow, Marshall Crenshaw, Jake Kasdan, and John C. Reilly), plus American Gangster and Juno for "Best Compilation Soundtrack Album," alongside August Rush, Mamma Mia!, and Sweeney Todd - The Demon Barber of Fleet Street.

You can check out the complete list at the official Grammy site. Do you agree that they got it right, at least as far as the movie nominees are concerned? The awards show airs on February 8, 2009.

According to Guardian.co.uk, LED ZEPPELIN bassist John Paul Jones will perform with experimental rockers SONIC YOUTH in a work composed by mixed-media sound composer Takehisa Kosugi for New York's Merce Cunningham Dance Company.

pOne wonders sometimes, with all the other stuff they've always got going on, if the members of a href="http://www.sonicyouth.com/"strongSonic Youth/strong/a ever have to remind themselves that they're in Sonic Youth. Like, can you picture Thurston, jamming out with a href="/article/record_review/145413-original-silence-the-second-original-silence"strongOriginal Silence/strong/a, thinking, "Oh, crap, a href="/article/news/145351-sonic-youth-link-with-matador-for-next-album"strongwe just signed to Matador/strong/a!

There's been a wealth of happenings with the members of Sonic Youth lately, though precious little of it has to do with Sonic Youth proper./p pBut more about those side gigs in a minute.../p pFirstly, the four Yoofs managed to get together in the same room recently to collaborate withnbsp;Led Zeppelin bassist John Paul Jones and composer Takehisa Kosugi on a brand new piece of music. The piece will soundtrack a new work by the a href="http://www.merce.org/"strongMerce Cunningham Dance Company/strong/a that will debut at the Brooklyn Academy of Music in mid-April, in celebration of choreographer Merce Cunningham's 90th birthday. The a href="http://www.bam.org/view.aspx?pid=703"strongMerce Cunningham at 90/strong/a piece will be performed on April 16-19.

The three-track set, emFlaherty/Nace/Moore/em, was crafted last winter, and sports three very amusingly-titled tracks: "Sex", "Drugs" and "Lavender". Northampton Wools promise their debut LP from the label shortly, and Ecstatic Peace will also issue an album by Hat City Initiative, a group featuring Thurston and his brother Gene Moore, as well as a forthcoming collaboration between Thurston and noise god Prurient. Thurston also just issued an ultra-limited edition cassette to a href="http://www.destructiveindustries.net/"strongDestructive Industries/strong/a which they call his "most encompassing and introverted work to date".

The concept was not only extremely audacious (even for the immediate post-Callas years) but also very innovative: Montserrat, a pioneer even there, proposed entire scenes from each opera, not just the arias out of context. Of course, in the meantime she was preparing the revivals of many, if not all, of the (then) rare operas she was presenting. The singing is magnificent troughout and the variety of the items just as striking. All the trademark Caballe qualities are of course present, magnificent voice, fearless coloratura, incredible pianissimi, inepuisable breath and so on. The sensation that these issues provoked made the LPs quickly very sought-after, until they were reissued in 1992 in 2 CDs (the edition presented here),.There has been a recent reissue by BMG, in a super-budget series.

Alex Ross's The Rest Is Noise was the clear and undisputed winner of the £10,000 prize, which has been presented at a ceremony in central London tonight./ppThe chair of the judging panel, Guardian literary editor Claire Armitstead, said: "In some quarters this book has been seen as not having a popular appeal. Our prize – which, uniquely, relies on readers' groups in the early stages of judging – proves that, on the contrary, there is a huge appetite among readers for clear, serious but accessible books."/ppAccording to one judge: "Where Ross lifts his book above the 'expert' and impressive to the 'good read' category is in the way he wears his learning lightly, never clutches for false or contrived ways of explaining music, and never dumbs down in order to explain."/ppOne of the members of the Waterstone's reading groups, who helped in the judging process, said: "Every time I felt overwhelmed by the technicalities, along came a sublime metaphor or simile that would light up the prose."/ppRoss, who is the music critic of the New Yorker, has distilled a lifetime's enthusiasm and learning into a rich narrative of musical history, setting the works of Mahler, Schoenberg, John Cage and the rest into their cultural and political contexts – but also giving a vivid sense of what the music he describes actually sounds and feels like./ppOf all the artforms, modern and contemporary classical music is often seen as the most rebarbative. Ross brushes aside the mythology of 20th-century music's "inaccessibility" as he charts its meandering histories. Along the way, fascinating connections are made: hip-hop has more in common with Janacek than you might think; Arnold Schoenberg and George Gershwin were tennis partners; Gershwin, in turn, was an ardent fan of Alban Berg and kept an autographed photo of the composer of Lulu in his apartment. If there is an overarching idea to the book, it is perhaps contained in Berg's pronouncement to Gershwin: "Mr Gershwin, music is music." /ppRoss, 40, was born in Washington DC, and studied English and history at Harvard. An enthusiastic teenage musician and student broadcaster, he began writing music criticism after university and in 1996 was appointed music critic of the New Yorker. His blog – also called a href="http://www.therestisnoise.com/"The Rest Is Noise/a – has been a trailblazer in harnessing the internet as a way of amplifying (often literally) his writing on music./ppThe New York Review of Books described The Rest Is Noise as "by far the liveliest and smartest popular introduction yet written to a century of diverse music". The Economist noted: "No other critic writing in English can so effectively explain why you like a piece, or beguile you to reconsider it, or prompt you to hurry online and buy a recording." /ppNicholas Kenyon, managing director of the Barbican and a former Observer music critic, said: "At a time when people are still talking about 20th-century music as if it were a problem, here is a lucid and entertaining book about what I regard as some of the greatest music ever written. It's a wonderful way to advance the cause of 20th-century music to an ordinary, intelligent general reader. It's the ideal mix of enthusiasm and information."/ppThis year's judging panel comprised novelist Roddy Doyle; broadcaster and novelist Francine Stock; poet Daljit Nagra; the historian David Kynaston; novelist Kate Mosse and Guardian deputy editor, Katharine Viner. Stuart Broom of Waterstone's also joined the deliberations, speaking as the representative of the readers' groups./ppThe other books on the shortlist were Mohammed Hanif's A Case of Exploding Mangoes; Ross Raisin's God's Own Country; Steve Toltz's A Fraction of the Whole (which was also shortlisted for the Man Booker prize) and Owen Matthews's Stalin's Children. /ppPrevious winners of the prize have included Stuart: A Life Backwards by Alexander Masters (2005) and Zadie Smith's White Teeth (2000)./pdiv style="float: left; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;"ullia href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/guardianfirstbookaward"Guardian first book award/a/lilia href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/history"History/a/lilia href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/music"Music/a/lilia href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/culture/awardsandprizes"Awards and prizes/a/li/ul/diva href="http://www.guardian.co.uk"guardian.co.uk/a copy; Guardian News Media Limited 2008 | Use of this content is subject to our a href="http://users.guardian.co.uk/help/article/0,,933909,00.html"Terms Conditions/a | a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/webfeeds/1,,1309488,00.html"More Feeds/a pa href="http://feedads.googleadservices.com/~at/LvxSI0fDeFmuEcTR4flMsmdIllY/a"img src="http://feedads.googleadservices.com/~at/LvxSI0fDeFmuEcTR4flMsmdIllY/i" border="0" ismap="true"/img/a/p

Feral House, one of my favorite publishers of outré history, recently released two excellent books. Dope Menace has hundreds of color photos of sleazy drug paperback books, and The Intimate Sex Lives of Famous People is a re-issue of the Wallace Family's (The Book of Lists, The People's Alamanac) fascinating history of the bedroom proclivities of famous folks, past and present. While we now enjoy this exploitative genre for its campy kitsch, gloriously bad writing, and outlandish misinformation, drug paperback books were once a transgressive medium with a perversely seductive quality. Dope Menace collects together hundreds of fabulously lurid and collectible covers in color, from xenophobic turn-of-the century tomes about the opium trade to the beatnik glories of reefer smoking and William S. Burroughs’ Junkie to the spaced-out psychedelic ’60s. We mustn’t forget the gonzo paranoia brought on by Hunter S. Thompson in the ’70s, when anything was everything. For its initial edition of The Intimate Sex Lives of Famous People in 1981, the legendary Wallace family read 1,500 biographies, pored over rare correspondence, legal transcripts and medical reports, and interviewed lovers, confidants and associates of many distinguished men and women in world history. This 600-page illicit encyclopedia of the private lives of writers, politicians, athletes, popes, rabble-rousers, composers, rock stars and sex symbols has been revised and enlarged, with a dozen new entries, including ones on Kurt Cobain, Malcolm X, Wilt Chamberlain, Ayn Rand, Jim Morrison, Nico, Aleister Crowley, and more.

YouTube and the London Symphony Orchestra, along with a consortium of other organizations, are sponsoring an innovative project to promote classical music through the Internet — a competition for the chance to play in the specially created YouTube Symphony Orchestra, which will perform on April 15 at New York’s Carnegie Hall, with musicians auditioning by submitting videos to YouTube. The celebrated Chinese American composer Tan Dun, best known for his score for Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, has written a five-minute orchestral work that will serve as the audition piece. There are parts for all the standard orchestral instruments, and even musicians who play non-traditional, non-Western instruments are invited to participate by choosing an orchestral part playable on their instrument. Musicians download a copy of their part and practice it while watching a video of the composer conducting it. (The videos for the different instruments are individually tailored, so that the cues the conductor gives are appropriate for each instrument.) The musicians then videotape themselves playing their part, following the conductor’s lead. They also submit a video of a solo performance that shows off their particular musical strengths. A panel will pick the best performances, and the videos of the finalists will be posted on YouTube, so that viewers can vote on their favorites. Conductor Michael Tilson Thomas will pick the winners from the viewers’ top choices. The selected orchestral musicians (probably about 80), as well as additional qualified soloists, will be brought to New York, all expenses paid, for the gala performance. A composite video of Tan Dun’s piece using the submitted videos will also be posted on YouTube.

Here’s Tan Dun conducting the London Symphony in his new piece.

Créer des fonds d'écran pour l'iPhone ou l'iPod touch est une opération relativement simple : il suffit d'importer une image dans l'appareil puis de demander de l'établir en fond d'écran. Le biniou s'occupera du reste... Mais pour tous ceux qui veulent composer finement une image (après tout, les possibilités de personnalisation sont plutôt rachitiques sur l'iPhone) et qui sont dépourvus d'outil...br/ br/ Merci de passer nous voir pour lire cette actu en entier ;-) pa href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~a/iTrafik?a=IL4PnV"img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~a/iTrafik?i=IL4PnV" border="0"/img/a/pimg src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/iTrafik/~4/473509774" height="1" width="1"/

YouTube, the video-sharing Web site owned by Google Inc., announced an online classical-music contest whose winners will gather at New York’s Carnegie Hall and perform a specially written orchestral work. Musicians have until Jan. 28 to video themselves each playing their instrument’s segment in the five-minute piece by Tan Dun, composer of music for the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games and the soundtrack to Ang Lee’s 2000 movie “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.” The project’s partners include the London Symphony Orchestra and Michael Tilson Thomas, music director of the San Francisco Symphony and artistic director of the New World Symphony.

“There are a phenomenal number of communities out there in the classical space already on YouTube,” Ed Sanders, product marketing manager for YouTube, told a London press conference via satellite from New York yesterday. He said he hoped the project would help bring together these scattered musicians. As an example, a violinist may go to the YouTube Symphony Orchestra Web page, pick “violin” from the drop-down menu, download the sheet music, and get online tips from an LSO violinist on how to play it. Then the musician plays the violin part on camera and posts the video. Winners will be flown to New York in April for a three-day “summit” led by Tilson Thomas, and will perform Tan Dun’s work at Carnegie Hall on April 15. Their original video clips will be merged into a YouTube symphony posted on the site.

Rhys Chatham was born in Manhattan in 1952. He came under the musical influence of his father, Price, a harpsichordist, and became a devotee of the work of early music composers such as Giles Farnaby and John Bull, playing their music on a virginal. Switching to baroque and Boehm flute, he soon became interested in contemporary music and began playing the work of Edgard Varèse, Luciano Berio, Stefan Wolpe, Mario Davidovsky, and Pierre Boulez. nbsp; His immersion in the contemporary literature for flute led to his desire to compose. He began studying counterpoint and harmony at the age of 13 with Donald Stratton and Tom Manoff, who sparked his interest in serialism. nbsp; By 1982, Chatham was going deaf from playing too much loud music. He decided to make a series of fully notated pieces for the slightly quieter brass family of instruments. After awhile, this renewed interest in notation (and an improvement in his hearing) led him to return to writing for electric guitar ensemble; Die Dönnergötter (1984-86) was his first effort in this direction. After a series of interim pieces he concluded this period with an ultimate work, An Angel Moves Too Fast to See (1989) for a symphony of 100 electric guitars, electric bass, and drums. nbsp; Rhys Chatham's compositional concern has been to bring together seemingly incompatible elements and put them through a personal filter so as to vertically align them. During the seventies and much of the eighties, he devoted himself to combining the pounding, throbbing rhythms of rock with the aesthetic concerns of post-minimalism.
