The success that was predicted for teenaged ska and reggae set Musical Youth when their pro-marijuana single "Pass the Dutchie" sold more than than little Joe million copies in 1982 failed to issue forth to fruition. Within three old age, the ring, world Health Organization featured singer Dennis Seaton, keyboardist Michael Grant, and the Waite brothers -- Patrick, wHO played bass and Freddie Junior, wHO played drums -- had gone their separate shipway. Although a reunification was conceived in 1993, the premature expiry of Patrick Waite at the age of 30 patch in law custody put an end to these plans. The members of Musical Youth were attending Duddleston Manor School in Birmingham when the mathematical group was formed by the Waite brothers and their forefather, Frederick Waite, a sometime member of Jamaican vocal grouping the Techniques, wHO ab initio handled lead vocals. After the band signed with MCA in 1981, Dennis Seaton was recruited to sing lead story. The next yr, they hit gold with their undivided "Take place the Dutchie," based on the Mighty Diamonds' hit "Slide by the Kouchie." Although the ring released several subsequent singles, including "Flat Love" with Donna Summer and "16," they were unable to pair the success of "Pass the Dutchie." The group splintered later the difference of Seaton in 1985.

One of Denmark's near respected and longest persistent death metallic element bands, Illdisposed were formed in the townsfolk of Ã…rhus in 1991, and managed to secure a record deal on the forcefulness of their very first gear demo, entitled The Winter of Our Discontempt. Led by unusually named vocalizer Bo Summer (specially unusual for a death metallic element ring!) and guitarist Lasse Bak, the group was rarely able to sustain a regular card for very long, but however recorded a cosmic string of albums, including 1993's Four Depressive Seasons 1994's Refund from Tomorrow EP, 1995's Give in, 1997's There's Something Rotten in the State of Denmark, and 2000's Retro covers set. In 2001, Bo Summer began splitting his fourth dimension between Illdisposed and competing Danish death alloy favorites Panzerchrist, but that hasn't stopped up him from reconvening his original ring for subsequent albums like that same year's Kokaiinum, 2004's 1-800 Vindication, and 2006's industrial-leaning Burn Me Wicked.

'American Idol' finale on par with last season's
31.7 mil viewers tune in for David Cook's win
Article Templatehttp://link.brightcove.com/services/link/bcpid1119669402http://www.brightcove.com/channel.jsp?channel=769341148
The "American Idol" seventh season finale Wednesday night managed to essentially match last year's performance, with the coronation of David Cook watched by an estimated 31.7 million viewers. The finale was up slightly among total viewers compared with last season, but down a notch among the adults 18-49 demographic. Last year, 30.8 million viewers tuned in to see Jordin Sparks win Fox's singing competition. Wednesday's "Idol" total, by comparison, will represent the show's third-largest audience ever. In the demo, "Idol" registered an 11.4 preliminary rating, according to Fox's time zone-adjusted fast nationals. That's down 1% from last year -- the lowest-rated "Idol" finale since the show's debut season in 2002. The rating is also down sharply –- 20% -- from the show's 2006 finale. Because of the nature of measuring live viewing audiences, the total viewers or demo rating could change Thursday afternoon, but time zone-adjusted nationals tend to hold fairly steady. Even if the demo rating holds as the lowest in years, the finale is good news for Fox. The show has averaged a 10% decline this season, so the finale numbers represent some improvement after weeks of record lows. As for the show itself, Salon raved "America finally gets it right." USA Today notes that some fans are irked by the singers using teleprompters as if "Idol" is barroom karaoke. The Los Angeles Times has notes from the show's postfinale press conference. Nothing aired on the other broadcast networks came close to "Idol," with competitors opting for repeats in some time periods. CBS' "Criminal Minds" (13 million, 3.3/8) was the second highest-rated show of the night.

Elias Arts Announces CEO Martin Pazzani to Step Down in May
Transformed Music Production House into Diversified Music Company
NEW YORK, April 30 -- Elias Arts,
http://www.eliasarts.com, the world's most awarded commercial music, sound,
and audio identity firm today announced that CEO Martin Pazzani will be
stepping down in May to focus on company developmental ventures.
According to Bill Luby, founding partner at Seaport Capital, the
private equity firm that has an investment in Elias Arts, "Martin led Elias
Arts through a period of great transition in the music and the advertising
industries, which demanded new perspectives and new ideas. He delivered
that, and now the company is well positioned to capitalize on the
constantly changing market. We will continue to pursue those opportunities
together going forward."
Pazzani comments, "When I arrived in 2005, Elias Arts had been
best-in-class for a long time. What we did was add capabilities and
services that built off that foundation and our staff's innate ability to
bring brands to life through music. I was brought here to execute a
three-year plan to set the stage for the future by bringing in new talent,
new thinking, and new skills, and to move us into new channels, and we've
accomplished that. I'm now looking forward to helping with this next phase
of our plan."
During his tenure, Mr. Pazzani launched a number of new initiatives
that have transformed the lauded music house into a more comprehensive and
diversified music resource to service the new needs of its clients --
something akin to a music agency -- by:
-- Expanding the Audio Identity Group, an innovative practice that melds
brand strategists and marketing pros with music producers and composers
to create 360-degree strategic audio identity programs for major
brands,
-- Pushing for a youth movement that brought major talents in to learn
from founder Jonathan Elias and team, resulting in Elias Arts composers
Nate Morgan and Kenny Segal winning the Boards Best New Composer Award
in 2006 and 2007 respectively.
-- Opening Avenida Acceso, a sister company that specializes in
urban/latino music and features famed composer/producer/performer
Andres Levin as Creative Director.
-- Initiating collaboration with The Sound Agency, a London-based audio
company that is an innovator in retail and environmental soundscapes.
-- Creating a New Channels Group to extend Elias Arts expertise and
presence into the music library, licensing, TV and film businesses.
"It has been my great honor to work with Jonathan Elias and the
incredible crews in Santa Monica and New York. Through all the change in
the music business in the last three years, the one constant is that the
creative work from this company has remained at an incredibly high level,"
added Pazzani.
Jonathan Elias, Founder and Chief Creative Officer adds, "Martin
brought a marketing and business savvy to Elias Arts that we had not had
before. We transformed and reenergized the company while keeping what was
unique and special about us, and still managed to grow by 12% during 2007
in a down category. I'm looking forward to continued collaboration with him
in the future on a number of projects."
Mr. Pazzani, a seasoned global executive expert in marketing, branding,
and development, will keep an office at Elias Arts, consult on key client
projects, oversee the company's Dubai and Cannes initiatives, and begin
working with several firms exploring new developmental and investment
projects with Elias Arts.
About Elias Arts:
For 27 years Elias Arts has used the emotional power of music and sound
to launch, grow and reposition the most recognized brands and companies
around the world. Elias has worked with well over 700 of the Fortune 1000
companies and helped to turn numerous startups into everyday brand names.
With offices in Santa Monica and New York, and a renowned roster of gifted
composers, producers, and marketers, they are the maestros of using music
as a powerful integrated marketing tool and brand builder.
Elias Arts' mission is to apply the powers of music and sound in unique
and creative ways to build economic value for their clients and has
embarked on a plan to extend the powers of music and sound into new
channels, new mediums, and new markets. They are the only music company to
employ a staff of professional brand strategists and marketing gurus, who
have devised a proprietary process that creates 360-degree Audio Identity
systems -- a way of using music and sound across all consumer touch points
to create brand harmony -- and make marketing dollars more effective.
With a music supervision department headed by KCRW's
tastemaker-extraordinaire Nic Harcourt, a roster of Featured Artists that
includes The Pixies' Joey Santiago, and the talented in-house composers
assembled and mentored by famed composer Jonathan Elias, Elias Arts is in a
class of its own.
