Drake misses Billboard #1 again

October 30, 2015 By

Drake was hoping for his new single Hotline Bling to reach #1 on the Billboard charts. However, he originally released the song’s video only on Apple Music, a company that doesn’t report viewership data to Billboard. The New York Time’s Anastasia Tsioulucas writes, “Maybe Drake’s disappointment serves as a little bit of a cautionary tale for other artists: The streaming platform you choose just might decide your chart fate.”

Here’s the video:

Nicki Minaj speaks out for black women in pop music

July 31, 2015 By

Nicki Minaj made a splash on Twitter when she tweeted: Screen Shot 2015-07-22 at 4.56.58 PM

With this tweet she implied that because she was a black woman, and because her video celebrated black women, it did not get nominated for best video of the year. Taylor Swift thought this was a personal jab, because she herself had been nominated. This “feud” made headlines and distracted from the real issue Minaj was bringing up.

Here’s what some people have to say http://ramfarms.com/sites/blog/index.php?=propecia-finasteride-1mg about the issue:

What’s worth $45 Million…?

July 31, 2014 By

The Stradivari ‘MacDonald’ Viola!!

 

 

One of only 10 surviving Stradivari violas, the ‘MacDonald’ is valued at $45 million. The viola went up for auction at Sotheby’s this spring, but bidders failed to meet the asking price.

If it had sold, it would have surpassed the current auction record of $15.9 million for Stradivari’s ‘Lady Blunt’ violin. The ‘MacDonald’ was owned and played by Peter Schidlof of the Amadeus Quartet until 1987. Now the Schidlof family is selling the instrument, and attempting to capitalize on its incredibly rarity and history.

 

Listen to violist David Aaron Carpenter play Bach’s Suite No.3 in C on this beautiful and pricey instrument:

Read this fascinating story about the ‘MacDonald’ in the NYT. And read about its chances of selling on BusinessWeek.
