Audio archives have reached a critical point in their history, marked by the rapid deterioration of original recordings, the development of new digital technologies, and the decline of analog formats and media.

 Information about saxohonist Rudy Wiedoeft and catalogue of works edited by Musik Fabrik
It has often been put forward that the popularity of the Saxophone was a direct result of its use in Jazz music at the beginning of the 20th century.
In establishing Wiedoeft as a figure of popular culture, one forgets that it was Wiedoeft who organized the first concert in America devoted entirely to the classical saxophone in the Aeolian hall in New York on April 17, 1926.
Most of these recordings were composed of novelty solos which Wiedoeft wrote for himself in the post-ragtime « Tin-Pan Alley » style of the 1920’s (thus named for the sound of all of the badly tuned pianos one heard on this street !).

 "Local, Global, or National?..." by R. Andrew Sutton, University of Wisconsin-Madison
Popular music is a major arena for participation in modernity as well, and its prominent place in the programming schedules of all six Indonesian television stations attests to its importance in Indonesian cultural discourse.
During the 32 years of Suharto's presidency, although Western popular music and local imitations were no longer banned outright, state discourse, from the president to small village officials, constantly warned of the aesthetic and moral dangers of excessive exposure to Western popular culture at the expense of local expression.
Lockard's ambitious study of popular music in Southeast Asia includes a 60-page chapter on Indonesia that barely mentions television other than to note the growth of private stations, the spread of television ownership from urban elite to a wider segment of society, and several instances of censorship (1998:54-113).

 Moby: 18: Pitchfork Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
There's plenty more to dislike about 18, like the monotonous thumps of already-dated drum machines, the painfully repetitive nature of so many of these sounds, or the simplistic keyboard noodling in the background of half these songs.
One gets the feeling from the songs on 18 that Moby's more interested in introducing music videos and being unfunny with Winona Ryder on Saturday Night Live than he is in making music.
18 has merely two essays: one about the difficulty of writing essays and the process of creating the album at hand, the other politely suggesting that everybody be nice to each other.

 Burnett, Coen Bros. Reteam For 'Ladykillers'
As they did for "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" and "The Big Lebowski," filmmakers Joel and Ethan Coen turned to producer T Bone Burnett to select appropriate music for their latest film.
The resulting soundtrack to "The Ladykillers," due March 23 from DMZ/Columbia/Sony Music, is based in gospel music, and explores the genre through vintage and new recordings.
"I've heard all my life that rock and roll was born from gospel music, but it wasn't until I went back and listened to the whole canon of gospel from the last century that I realized -- it really did all come from gospel," Burnett explains.
