Jay Z’s newly launched Tidal music service has reignited the debate about the economics of music in an era where streaming services like Spotify, iTunes, and YouTube reign supreme. In hopes of adding to that discussion, Portishead’s Geoff Barrow recently took to Twitter to share exactly how much money the band actually earned from its 34 million streams last year. His estimate: After taxes he was left with £1,700, or around $2,511, according to Consequence Of Sound.

Dark Electronic Rock Hits Dayton!

Dayton’s got a hot new band on the scene! Check out Curse of Cassandra!

They just formed earlier this year, but their dark, ambient, electronic rock took Music Connection’s June Featured Band/Artist contest by STORM, garnering over 500 votes before the end!  Ending up in 2nd place, they gave our June winner, Gathering Mercury, a solid run for their money and tromped all the other competition!

I sat down and checked out their page this afternoon and found some great things waiting for me!   Their song, “The One I Need”, is exactly as advertised. It’s a dark, passionate song with strong dance beats and haunting vocals that you should definitely check out!  They’ve also got some sweet photos and some great shows coming up this month in Dayton, Cincinnati, and Columbus!   Check them out on June 21st at Jimmie’s Ladder 11 in Dayton!  I can’t wait to see and hear more from this project!
