Rockonomics
Author: Alan B. Krueger
Publisher: Crown Currency
ISBN: 1524763721
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 346
Book Description
Alan Krueger, a former chairman of the president's Council of Economic Advisers, uses the music industry, from superstar artists to music executives, from managers to promoters, as a way in to explain key principles of economics, and the forces shaping our economic lives. The music industry is a leading indicator of today's economy; it is among the first to be disrupted by the latest wave of technology, and examining the ins and outs of how musicians create and sell new songs and plan concert tours offers valuable lessons for what is in store for businesses and employees in other industries that are struggling to adapt. Drawing on interviews with leading band members, music executives, managers, promoters, and using the latest data on revenues, royalties, streaming tour dates, and merchandise sales, Rockonomics takes readers backstage to show how the music industry really works--who makes money and how much, and how the economics of the music industry has undergone a radical transformation during recent decades. Before digitalization and the ability to stream music over the Internet, rock stars made much of their income from record sales. Today, income from selling songs has plummeted, even for superstars like James Taylor and Taylor Swift. The real money nowadays is derived from concert sales. In 2017, for example, Billy Joel earned $27.4 million from his live performances, and less than $2 million from record sales and streaming. Even Paul McCartney, who has written and recorded more number one songs than anyone in music history, today, earns 80 percent of his income from live concerts. Krueger tackles commonly asked questions: How does a song become popular? And how does a new artist break out in today's winner-take-all economy? How can musicians and everyday workers earn a living in the digital economy?

Book Description
The city's most successful realtor, James Seavers, is drawn into a macabre and sadistic game with its most prolific serial killer. One who invokes his own personal brand of punishment however he sees fit. There are only three rules. Rule 1: If James chooses to play the game, he must finish it. At no time for any reason is he allowed to stop participation. Rule 2: He is not allowed to bring anyone else into the game. Any and all outside help is forbidden. Rule 3: There is a strict time limit involved that must be obeyed. If they are not followed, it will mean certain death for James's wife. If they are followed, it could mean death for them both. James is not allowed to bring anyone into the game himself, but that doesn't mean the killer can't do it. After all, he created the game and can do as he pleases. So to make things more interesting, mostly for himself, an anonymous call is made to the police that will allow them to pursue James getting closer as the night goes. The killer has been planning this night for weeks. Setting up everything, making sure it was perfect--a place for everything and everything in its place. All to teach James a lesson--a lesson James has no idea he needs. The game is played throughout the city, taking him to various properties he owns where he will find one horrific scene after another. Each one getting worse and more brutal than the previous, eventually bringing him face-to-face in a game-ending showdown with an unequaled, tremendously efficient killer for the ages.

Music, Lyrics, and Life
Author: Mike Errico
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 1493059793
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 281
Book Description
Music, Lyrics, and Life is the songwriting class you always wish you'd taken, taught by the professor you always wish you'd had. It's a deep dive into the heart of questions asked by songwriters of all levels, from how to begin journaling to when you know that a song is finished. With humor and empathy, acclaimed singer-songwriter Mike Errico unravels both the mystery of songwriting and the logistics of life as a songwriter. For years, this set of tools, prompts, and ideas has inspired students on campuses including Yale, Wesleyan, Berklee, Oberlin, and NYU's Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music. Alongside his own lessons, Errico interviews the writers, producers, and A&R executives behind today's biggest hits and investigates the larger questions of creativity through lively conversations with a wide range of innovative thinkers: astrophysicist Janna Levin explains the importance of repetition, both in choruses and in the exploration of the universe; renowned painter John Currin praises the constraints of form, whether it's within a right-angled canvas or a three-minute pop song; bestselling author George Saunders unpacks the hidden benefit of writing, and revising, authentically; and much more. The result is that Music, Lyrics, and Life ends up revealing as much about the art of songwriting as it does about who we are, and where we may be going. This is a book for songwriters, future content creators, music lovers, and anyone who wants to understand how popular art forms are able to touch us so deeply. Mike Errico has honed these lessons over years of writing, performing, teaching, and mentoring, and no matter where you are on your songwriting journey, Music, Lyrics, and Life will help you build a creative world that's both intrinsic to who you are, and undeniable to whoever is listening.
