The Battle for the Broadcast Bands

The Battle for the Broadcast Bands 05/06/2004 01:07 PM
The FCC is considering a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to open up un-used broadcast television bands for unlicensed use.  It adopted a notice of inquiry exploring this possibility last year, but an NPRM would be a significant step forward -- it would mean the FCC has specific proposals that, following public comment, it can actually adopt. 

This is a huge opportunity.  All the innovation and investment in unlicensed wireless to date has occurred in narrow, noisy, high-frequency bands.  Because of their propagation characteristics, the broadcast frequencies are the best place to create new broadband alternatives.  Former FCC Chairman Reed Hundt advoca ted this point in his Senate testimony last week. 

Unfortunately, and predictably, the incumbent broadcasters aren't happy with the idea.  Even though they would be some of the biggest beneficiaries of opening up the broadcast band "white space" which is now completely un-used, they see anything that increases usable wireless capacity eroding their lucrative government-granted oligopoly. 

A source tells me that FCC Chairman Powell wants to put the broadcast band NPRM on the FCC's open meeting agenda for next week, but he is facing furious opposition from the broadcasters.  If you care about creating new opportunities for wireless innovation and broadband deployment, now is the time to push the FCC to do the right thing.

MMDS/ITU bands might open new territory
for 3G 03/15/2003 09:44 AM

MMDS/ITU bands might open new territory for 3G: The 2.5 GHz band reserved for certain kinds of long-distance learning and instructional television originally, but which the FCC allowed the nonprofit and institutional geographical licensees to sublicense to commercial providers might find some new life. Worldcom and Sprint own the majority of these sublicensed frequencies, and it's a huge swath of good spectrum that's horribly underutilized. A variety of reports indicate that it's a bad idea to simply take this spectrum away. But there may be opportunities for it to be repurposed and then have other firms purchase the sublicenses. The FCC is also looking into the use of this band for wireless broadband, while 3G might also be a possibility.

More Bands Putting Concerts Online

More Bands Putting Concerts Online 01/22/2004 06:28 AM
We've talked about bands like Phish and Pearl Jam experimenting with offering recordings of their live shows to fans online, and it appears that plenty of other musicians are signing up to do the same thing. There are a couple of interesting angles on this one. First, it's a way for the bands to (mostly) cut out the recording industry middlemen they have to deal with most of the time. Live shows are how bands usually connect with fans, and this opens up those shows to a much wider audience. At the same time, many of the bands are choosing to offer these concert recordings without any copy protection - and they're selling like crazy. There's a great quote in the article from Brad Serling, who runs the site that many of these bands are using: "The No. 1 issue that most of the music industry has wrong is D.R.M. Why make it harder for people to buy your product? The answer is fear, and you have to get over the fear. What would you do if you walked into Tower Records to buy the new Dave Matthews Band CD and the guy behind the counter said: 'Here's your CD. It's $18, but you can only listen to it in your den on one stereo. You can't take it to the car. You can't put it on your iPod.' You would laugh at him and walk out, right? It's the same thing here." Offer something to people that they want, and you'll be amazed at what they're willing to pay for.

Bands Promoting Free MP3s Online

Bands Promoting Free MP3s Online 11/11/2003 10:23 PM
Sometimes it's good to be reminded that there are still musicians who can see through all the rhetoric and realize that it might be beneficial to them to offer their music online for free. Bands are coming to terms with the fact that free MP3s work as a promotional tool that brings people out to concerts - which is where they make their money anyway. The rest of the article includes typical quotes from the RIAA, including their favorite line: "you can't compete with free." Of course, that's a lie. You absolutely can compete with free - but you have to offer something worthwhile above what people can get for free, and that's what the industry keeps missing. Besides, the issue isn't really about "competing" with free - but using the free reproduction and distribution of the internet to your advantage. That's what the profiled band ("Q and not U") did. If an up-and-coming band can see that, why can't the industry association?

Xeni Jardin: Punk cover bands: here are two, but IMO that's enough to comprise a genre. Any others out there?
Gay Black Flag cover band BLACK FAG Link
All-Jewish Skrewdriver cover band JEWDRIVER: Link
(Thanks, Sean Bonner!)

Update: Boing Boing reader Kim Cooper says, "How about the Misfats, 'the fattest Misfits tribute band ever'?" Link.

Reader Shannon Stewart says, "Here are a few more bands... There are a ton out there."

Black Velvet Flag - All-lounge punk covers: Link< /a>
Me First and the Gimme Gimmes - A punk supergroup that covers everything from show tunes to '70s hits: Link
Richard Cheese -- Lounge covers of punk, pop and other types of music: Link

Reader Charles sez, "Not strictly punk, but we have this band here in Seattle -- 'Hells Belles,' an all-girl AC/DC cover band." Link

Reader david says: "Another all-gIrl AC/DC tribute band. A really good one, too!" Link to AC/D-SHE

Boing Boing pal Joey "Accordion Guy" deVilla says, "I'll see your punk cover band genre and raise you an alt-rock mash-up cover band. Smash-Up Derby are a cover band, but their covers are in the form of live-mash-ups. Check out the MP3s posted on their site, such as Smells Like Billie Jean, where Nirvana and Michael Jackson collide -- they're quite good!" Link

Tim Binder says, "This is for your Punk Cover Bands listing, which seems to be rapidly expanding to list unusual cover bands of any sort. The Beach Balls are a Philadelphia cover band that does 80s songs in an operatic/folk style. The link is to a site that has two of their cover songs, Back In Black (more AC/DC) and Girls on Film. When I first saw them live, I was just stunned when I realized that the song I was hearing at the time was The Car's My Best Friend's Girlfriend." Link

Amardeep Singh says,

My favorite punk cover band was Schlong. Their one full-length LP was a drunk-punk version of "West Side Story" called "Punk Side Story," complete with fighting sound effects, snippets of dialogue, and pictures of drunk-looking bay area punk rockers looking at the moon. They match the soundtrack of "West Side Story" track for track. They don't have a webpage, but you can find reference to them here .

And Bruce Heersen says, "Here's yet another AC/DC cover band: Hayseed Dixie (link). On their debut album A Hillbilly Tribute to AC/DC, they do AC/DC covers bluegrass-style. They have at least one more album that is covers of other rock bands. I've seen these guys live, and they are pretty unbelievable. Really entertaining."

Check out this awesome video for Hayseed Dixie's cover of Mötorhead's punk/metal anthem "Ace of Spades," edited entirely on a PowerMac G4 laptop. Link (screenshot shown at top of this post).

Lemmy's inbred cousins would be proud.

To which BB reader Dario Manzoni sez:

About the bluegrass covers: there is Iron Horse's "Fade to Bluegrass: The Bluegrass Tribute To Metallica" (Link to samples). I think they did a nice job capturing Metallica's peculiar sound. And absolutely worth mentioning (but different kind) are Apocalyptica, that once released "Plays Metallica by four cellos" (link to full album at low bitrate for sampling purpose)

Clear Channel Playing Dirty with Bands
selling Music 05/25/2004 07:05 AM

Let's say you and your buddies don't know how to play musical instruments and yet you decide to form a band. You open your garage door and play like there is no tomorrow. The police come and actually shut you down because it was so bad that all your neighbors have complained. Now imagine you have recorded that music and offer it immediately for-sale to anyone that wants to purchase a
copy of your horrid noise. Several days later you get a notice from Clear Channel saying you have to purchase a license in order to legally sell that music immediately after each show.

Is this not the most ridiculous things you have ever heard. Well it seems Clear Channel is squashing popular bands that want to sell immediate recordings of concerts they have just performed. If your willing to buy a license to do so then you are good to go. The audacity of doing this is shocking. [Techdirt]

Clear Channel Buys Concert Recording
Patent, Tells Bands To Stop

Clear Channel Buys Concert Recording
Patent, Tells Bands To Stop 05/25/2004 04:03 AM
Just as more bands have been realizing the power of offerin g instant concert recordings to their fans, you knew the industry would somehow figure out a way to kill this new, growing business model. Submitted by someone anonymously, comes this story, that tells us that some company actually had a patent on making instant recordings of concerts for sale - and radio giant Clear Channel has now purchased that patent. Of course, now that they have it, they're cracking down on many bands that want to offer such recordings. They claim they want to be "artist" friendly, but are looking at it from a business perspective - meaning stamping out the competition and selling licenses to any bands that want to offer immediate recordings to their fans. It's amazing how the industry continuously finds ways to use intellectual property protections to harm new business models, rather than to let them help grow the overall industry. Of course, once again, you have to wonder what exactly is patentable here: it's basically a CD burner. Why does selling concerts via a CD burner immediately after the show need a special patent?

Blue Bands for Blue Budgets

Blue Bands for Blue Budgets 02/01/2005 10:09 PM

I had to go all the way over to LISNews< /a> to find out that a sister Library System here in Illinois has started a totally awesome project called Libraries Matter. Here at home, our kids saved up some money to buy the 10–pack of Lance Armstrong yellow wristbands because they’re all the rage at school. Can you imagine if we could start something similar with these blue ones for libraries? Brilliant job, Alliance Library System!

One thing, though – how about offering packs smaller than 50 so that ordinary folks like myself can buy some and give them out to friends, kids, etc.? Let’s get some grassroots support going, not just top down from the institutional level! Then, let’s think about how we can use these on Advocacy Day this year.

Tangent: When visiting the ALS web site tonight, I realized they’ve added blogs to the home page (kind of, sort of). Sweet! Unfortunately, no RSS feeds to be found anywhere, which means I won’t be able to add them to my aggregator, which means I’ll have to keep relying on other web sites to highlight ALS projects for me. Not sweet. C’mon, ALS, show us the RSS!

The Chicago Apple Store

The Chicago Apple Store 06/25/2004 08:32 PM

I'm writing this from the second floor of the Apple store on Michigan Avenue in downtown Chicago. We spent the day with the guys from 37 Signals at The Building of Basecamp Workshop. I'm on a little iMac, and I have to admit it's impressive....the store, I mean.

Everything is clear lucite, bleached wood, and concrete. Even the stairs are translucent plastic of some kind. I gotta say — Apple has a thing for style. There's a forty seat movie theater up here, but I have no idea what it's for.

I just called Rob and left him a message that I was standing in his own, personal Nirvana. I better get out of here, actually, because some of these machines are looking really nice (but how do you live without a scroll wheel?!).

The iMac I'm on has a little camera on top of it, and it's displaying real-time video of me, but I can't figure out how to get it to take a picture. You'll just have to take my word for it that I'm actually here.

Joe and I have a pizza waiting for us at the Pizzar ia Uno on Ontario and Ohio. Gotta run.
