From Wikipedia
A web widget is a portable chunk of code that can be installed and executed within any separate HTML-based web page by an end user without requiring additional compilation. They are derived from the idea of code reuse. Other terms used to describe web widgets include: gadget, badge, module, webjit, capsule, snippet, mini and flake. Web widgets often but not always use DHTML, JavaScript, or Adobe Flash. Widgets often take the form of on-screen tools (clocks, event countdowns, auction-tickers, stock market tickers, flight arrival information, daily weather etc) that draw on Internet data-bases to show the information on the users 'widget' so a web-browser does not need to be used.

Resurgent Dollar A Challenge For Concert Biz
November 18, 2008 
Via: Reuters
Amid the current financial crisis, at least one thing is going up in value: the U.S. dollar.
For American artists on the road overseas, the dollar's sudden strength against the euro, the British pound and the Canadian and Australian dollars means that local costs like food and lodging are cheaper. But depending on how they structured their deals with promoters, artists could wind up taking home less than they would have months ago.
Organ is Metal
November 16, 2008 
Organ is a metal band from Atlanta, Georgia. Playing since the mid-90s, guitarist / vocalist Gary Crider and drummer W. G. Crider founded the band in 2001. Organ began playing shows immediately and recorded a demo in early 2002. In 2003 the band recorded and released its first full-length record, "Install the Underground". Although self-released, this album became a fan-favorite in both the United States and in Europe. Over the next two years, Organ toured the southeast extensively, playing shows everywhere from basements and garages, to pubs and bars, to supporting national and international bands. In 2005, Organ released its second full-length, "Volume of Hate", through Meltdown Records (Birmingham, England). In March, 2005, Organ toured England with UK bands Out for Blood and Godsize.
Following the success of this tour, Organ returned for another UK tour in December, 2005. As Organ continues to play shows anywhere and everywhere, a new album is underway. For this album, Organ is working with Grammy-winning producer, Warren Riker, who produced the latest Down and Crowbar albums. Recording began on November 6, 2008 and an early 2009 release is expected.

Music Puts Faith In Religion During Recession
November 14, 2008 
Via Reuters
Record label bosses are putting their faith in religion to beat the recession this Christmas, with three Christian-linked albums hitting the stores in a single week and expected to dominate the classical charts. Executives believe there is no coincidence in the resurgence of interest in music such as Gregorian chants. Simplicity and calm, they say, is what people appear to want in times of economic uncertainty.

Now That's What I Call Marketing
November 12, 2008 It's one of the oldest formulas in the record business, but some things never go out of style: Take a dozen or two of the biggest radio hits and bundle them as a handy, snapshot-of-the-moment compilation. One series of such albums, “Now That's What I Call Music!,” has been a reliable blockbuster for 10 years by sticking to a simple, recognizable brand. With a festive, uniform design aimed at the young, especially tween girls, the “Now” CDs each contain 20 “chart-topping hits” — Britney Spears has been featured 12 times — and its 28 volumes have sold 61 million copies in the United States.
