RIAA now counts online streams in Gold and Platinum Digital Single Awards

Fast payday loans For Every One

After years of fighting against the digital tide, the RIAA announced it’ll now factor online audio and video streams when considering tracks for its Digital Single Award. The certification has heretofore been given to digital tracks that have gone Gold or Platinum, but only for downloads: 500,000 for Gold, 1,000,000 for Platinum and 2 million-plus for multi-Platinum. But under its new policy, 100 streams count as one download, meaning that it could reach those thresholds with a mix of streams and downloads, not just the latter. The new approach is “an approximate barometer of comparative consumer activity; the financial value of streams and downloads were not factored into the equation.”

All told, these include streams from services like MOG, Rhapsody, Slacker, Spotify and Rdio along with video sites like VEVO, YouTube and MTV.com. Under the new system, 56 titles have already gone Gold and beyond, with 11 receiving their first ever digital song cert. A couple of first-timers include Aerosmith’s “I Don’t Wanna Miss a Thing” which went Platinum and Whitney Houston’s “I Will Always Love You” that went multi-Platinum. While we can’t say if music services will make everyone happy, it’s clear streaming’s here to stay. Hear that, iTunes?

Insects Making Pupae Casing Out Of Gold And Jewels

larval-jewerly-cases.jpg

Caddisfly are a species of moth-like insect that, when in their larval stage, spin a web of silk and attach whatever materials they have around them to it for protection before climbing inside to pupate. So you know what French artist Hubert Duprat gave them? A beret, baguette, and zero deodorant. “The French hate you enough as it is, GW.” Fine, he gave them a bunch of gold and jewels. These are the resulting protective cases they made. Not bad, but I don’t think of any of them are going to make it as jewelry designers. “Wow, first the French, now you’re making fun of insects — you must feel pretty good about yourself.” I knooooow, I just can’t help it — it’s a coping mechanism. “For coping with what?” You — HAHA! *drops smoke bomb, runs in a circle because I can’t see anything, smoke dissipates, you kick my ass, curtain falls, I return moments later for my final bow* Come on, nobody’s throwing roses?! What about panties? Last call — boxers and briefs. For the love of God, somebody just toss me a sock.

Yuzo Koshiro at MAGFest

With a game soundtrack going up against the works of orchestral juggernauts like John Williams and Hans Zimmer for the first time at tonight’s Grammy Awards, 2013 is looking to be a promising year for video game music. Though for the true believers, events like MAGFest — a video game music festival just outside of Washington, D.C. — seem to grow almost exponentially each year, mainstream approval or no.

Celebrating its 11th year last month, MAGFest is a strange beast of video game-related revelry. To the untrained eye it has all the trappings of your typical “Con”: the cosplay, the panels, the crowds of nerds cramming into elevators. But if anything, MAGFest more closely resembles a kind of debauched ritual; a communal 72 hour…

Metal Gear Not So Strong.

This is Pimpri-Chinchwad native and primary stunna Datta Phuge modeling the $ 230,000 22-karat gold shirt he had made to help bring in females. It weighs in at around seven pounds however feels much, much heavier on my heart. Datta additionally sports several extra pounds of gold lockets and bracelets, wishing to secure his title as ‘The Gold Man of Pimpri‘ and not ‘That Indian Mr. T’ like we’re all actually visiting call him. Difficult break.

The money-lender, from Pimpri-Chinchwad, says the shirt took a team of 15 goldsmiths two weeks to make working 16 hours a day developing and weaving the gold threads.

It comes full with its own matching cuffs and a set of rings crafted from left-over gold.

“I know I am not the best looking guy worldwide but definitely no female could fail to be charmed by this shirt?” he explained.

You understand, typically I have a tough time feeling bad for rich individuals, but great lord– this poor bastard. I would not trade places with him for anything, and that states a lot due to the fact that my cable television and web are expected to be cut off by the end of the day for not paying the costs. Then what will I do for enjoyment? SPOILER: search and kill bugs around your home. And I still would not wish to be that guy. Simply marinate on that for a 2nd.
