Roger Press started the topic The large Music Markets. Analysis by MRC data, Billboard in the discussion
MusicID Community on Humanities Commons 4 years, 10 months agoI listened to this great seminar yesterday, by Helena Kosinski at MRC Data. She is particularly interesting on Radio and the relationship of the different streaming services. It is astonishing to me what a hold radio still has over music consumption. All those top 40 stations make it nice and easy to listen.
This is the link and you just have to…[Read more]

Jake Johnson deposited Post-Secular Musicals in a Post-Truth World in the group
Music and Sound on Humanities Commons 4 years, 10 months agoIn this chapter, I make two interconnected observations. I first consider how musicals inhabit and promote a ‘post-truth’ worldview similar to those reflected in current populist resurgences throughout the West. I argue that it is musical theater’s penchant for the unreal that in recent decades has given it traction within both secular,…[Read more]

Roger Press started the topic How does Eminem revenue change over the decade from 2010 to 2020? in the discussion
MusicID Community on Humanities Commons 4 years, 10 months agoWhat does Eminem revenue look like in 2020?
8 Mile made three times the revenue of Music To Be Murdered By. Delve into granular data for precise insights. At MusicID Revenue we calculate the indicative revenue. For each alum and single, we apply the IFPI audited revenue in each country. It is very clever mathematics which Steve worked out. How do…[Read more]

Eric Hellman replied to the topic Open infrastructure for OA books in the discussion
Open Access Books Network on Humanities Commons 4 years, 10 months agoMarkus,
I probably don’t need to tell you this, but that’s REALLY ambitious, mostly because creative authors do things you would never expect in a million years, and then they blame you when their docs don’t convert. Also because Word is Word.
What’s the technical plan? Where’s the repo? Are you building on pandoc?
I’m happy to advise on this;…[Read more]

Roger Press started the topic History of Rock courses. Where MusicID shows what could not be seen before. in the discussion
MusicID Community on Humanities Commons 4 years, 11 months agoThis is a document we have from a few years ago. It shows the structure of a 20 course History of Rock overview.
Yes, it may seem a bit long, but I wanted to share it. Nothing like the detail of a course structure to make scholarship come alive. I just find this inspiring, and a professor at Tufts gave it to me as an example we could share. I…[Read more]

MusicID Community on Humanities Commons 4 years, 11 months agoJust in from the great people at Music Ally.
Rumours that SoundCloud would become the first big music streaming service to adopt user-centric payouts were correct. The company has just announced plans for what it’s calling ‘fan-powered royalties’.
What’s really nice is that some other streaming companies are starting to do things with tip jars a…[Read more]

Markus Putnings replied to the topic Open infrastructure for OA books in the discussion
Open Access Books Network on Humanities Commons 4 years, 11 months agoHi Tom.
In fact, something “rudimentarily similar” already exists in several places (e.g. besides Editoria, also in Heidelberg with heiMPT or of course Calibre or similar), but mostly rather specifically embedded in local or proprietary workflows or limited to them.
The OS-APS, on the other hand, is intended to be flexibly usable and integrable…[Read more]

Open Access Books Network on Humanities Commons 4 years, 11 months agoHi Markus,
Sounds like you’re going to be working on some really interesting stuff here. Good luck! In what way do you see this as producing something different to existing tools that already seem to do a lot of these things (I’m thinking, platforms like Coko and Editoria)? A diverse choice of open source tools is useful but sometimes I’m a bit…[Read more]
