The name "Sony" was chosen for the brand as a mix of the Latin word sonus, which is the root of sonic and sound, the English word "sunny", and from the word Sonny-boys which is Japanese slang for "whizz kids".

Once we realized that, it opened a lot of creative doors for us to go other places with our music." The Waldorf, Maryland-based group formed in 1996, and released their self-titled debut three years later.
We went in thinking, 'Okay, we're going to be playing these songs for the next two years, let's make them as challenging as possible.'" With that in mind, Good Charlotte was determined to the sonic envelope, veering away from their hook-injected punk to take an edgier, more eclectic approach.
Having long been inspired by a wide range of musical heroes - from such like-minded artists as the Smiths and the Cure to modern outfits like British power-prog trio, Muse - tracks such as "Predictable" see the band weaving intricate new textures into their trademark aggro-pop blend of hi-energy hooks and sing-along harmonies.

Sony and Bertelsmann's BMG will argue that rampant internet piracy and declining sales have made consolidation imperative for the music industry.

It believes arguments against further consolidation are still compelling, despite the well-documented slump in music sales since the turn of the millennium.

If Jesus' teachings are being hijacked and manipulated by politicians, then I must therefore go back as a daughter of the Christian church into that system and that symbolism and those allegories." Amos certainly has the background.
But in preparing The Beekeeper, Amos began to research the earliest days of Christianity, moving beyond Matthew, Mark, Luke and John to investigate the various gnostic gospels of the Nag Hammadi Library that were discovered in Egypt in 1945.
It's a multifaceted series of parables, dealing with themes as disparate as the balance between male and female (a theme echoed musically by Amos' use of both piano, which is considered a feminine instrument, and organ, traditionally deemed male), or the question of why death comes and whether it can be avoided.
