p.s. It also has a great video.
HMV Giveaway 2.5% of Their Company to Suppliers, But Why Is This a Good Thing?
HMV has been struggling a lot with its mounting debt, pressure from banks and fall in overall sales. HMV has now announced that they will be giving equity worth 2.5 percent to its key suppliers – music and movie studios – to avoid breaching its banking covenants. This saw HMV shares rise 100% in a matter of minutes. I find it very interesting that HMV can give away 2.5% of their company for writing off old debt and shares can increase. I know their bottom line looks a lot better, but it really doesn’t draw away from the fact that the CD music market is in decline and HMV isnt adapting very well to this changing market!
HMV are also in talks to sell their profitable live music company, Mama Group, plus selling off their 50% stake in 7Digital. I can only see tough times ahead of this high street giant who didn’t move with the times (sounds very much like the Kodak story!).

Radiohead Told to Go F*** Yourself by Liam Gallagher
Liam Gallagher has always been a bit of a loud mouth (which I like), but now he has provided some crazy remarks about the new Radiohead album The King of Limbs. In a recent Quietus interview with Gallagher and Andy Bell about their new band Beady Eye:
I heard that fucking Radiohead record and I just go, ‘What?!’ I like to think that what we do, we do fucking well. Them writing a song about a fucking tree? Give me a fucking break! A thousand year old tree? Go fuck yourself! You’d have thought he’d have written a song about a modern tree or one that was planted last week. You know what I mean?
Compare that to what Noel Gallagher said about Radiohead a couple years back in Spin:
Correct me if I’m wrong, they’ve been making the same record since Kid A, have they not? Every time I see them live they blow me away, but you know, it’s kind of we make very accessible rock and roll music and they constantly make difficult electronic records.
I find this funny when nearly all of the Oasis albums sound exactly the same. I think its a bit of the Pot calling the Kettle Black.
