David Cooper Leaves Midas to Form David Cooper Consulting

Friday, April 30th, 2010

KIDDERMINSTER, UK – David Cooper has announced that after 18 years at the forefront of Midas and Klark Teknik he has formed David Cooper Consulting, which will work with a select few pro audio manufacturers on strategic sales and brand management.
At Midas, we've had some good times; we've had some great
times, but if I don't do it now, I never will, said Cooper. While noting that
over the last few months I've had a strong desire to be in charge of my own
destiny, he downplayed any connection between his departure and the recent
acquisition of Midas and Klark Teknik by Behringer.

Last.fm Promotes Indie Artists, Sans Royalties

Thursday, April 29th, 2010

If you’re a Last.fm user, you may have noticed some changes at the popular music site, one of which is that the company will no longer offer on-demand track streaming, but instead refer users to third-party partners like MOG and Hype Machine.

Previously, fans and artists could check out a wide variety of full song streams right on site, as well as enjoying its more radio-like features. Indie musicians flocked to the service to create their own artist pages and surf through a robust registry of other artists, big and small. Last.fm’s “scrobbling” technology tracked plays across various platforms like iTunes and web widgets, turning the passive act of listening into a vast game of online show-and-tell.
