I am really looking forward to the Broadway “Thriller” if only because it was the first video that got me into dance and choreography. The play would be interesting, no?

Gallery People
The Gallery Recording Studio is committed to working with creative and hardworking musicians representing Brooklyn and beyond.

Grammy Time!
It’s that time again. The 51st Grammy Awards are almost here. It seems only yesterday I was working at Magic Shop Studios covering for my boss who won a Grammy last year for Best Historical Album, Woodie Gunthrie Recordings.

Natalie said the $140 music player, full of “oldies” by The Beatles and James Taylor was valued at more than $90 more than the final cab fare, with tip, that she racked up last month. The driver, Mohammed Islam,...

1. Catch Media - They want to ditch all the acronyms - MP3, WMA, AAC etc - and just let people listen to music, he says. So Play Anywhere comprises technology, licensing, a clearing house structure and a business model, all in one. 2. Passionato - It’s a “site for people who love Classical and Jazz”. 3.
