Drowned In Sound link how yet another venue (Oxford zodiac) has been turned over to the “Academy” Music Group, with the death of the London Whale “May it, alongside the varied and interesting bill of artists playing the Zodiac rest in peace.” [Link]

“Universal said it was only fair to receive payment on devices that may be repositories for stolen music.” Microsoft and Zune go a bit wacky offering Universal free money. Why? Maybe to screw Apple?
