Congrats to Royal Blood who won a Brit Award this week for Best British Band. These are like the UK’s version of the Grammy’s so it’s really a big deal for the duo. They beat out some heavy weights including Coldplay, Alt-J and One Direction. Here’s the problem. They only get one statue to share. Proving that they are still a rock band at heart, they say they’ll simply cut it in half.
Check out NME for the full story.
The music industry has been talking about switching to a global release day for years but it actually appears to be moving closer to a reality. Right now, new music is released to the public on different days for different regions across the globe. For instance, albums are released on Mondays in the UK, Tuesdays here in the States and on Fridays in Europe. The word is we may be switching to a global release day on Fridays. Bands like this because it means that they can use their social media more effectively for record release information and promotions. It will also help eliminate piracy. The International Federation of the Phonographic Industry or (IFPI) says the new plan would go into effect this summer.
See the details on Rolling Stone.
If you’re one of these people who use this thing called the Internet, you’ll be interested to know that the FCC has made a ruling in favor of Net Neutrality, which basically means that broadband Internet service will be regulated as a utility. The ruling ensures that no content will be blocked and the Internet won’t be divided into Pay To Play Fast Lanes for those who can afford it and Slow Lanes for everyone else. Details won’t be out for a couple of days and the regulations won’t go into effect for a couple of months.

I guess anything with Kurt Cobain's name on it is valuable these days. One of his old credit cards, which he signed and has a handwritten phone number on it, is going up for auction at the end of the month.
It's expected to fetch between 7 and 9 grand. I wonder if they know it expired in 1995?
HT to NME.
Well, here's some news you don't hear every day. Blur will be releasing a new album in 2015. We haven't been able to say that in 12 years actually. The new album is called "The Magic Whip" and is due out April 28th.
They started working on the songs in 2013 and when asked about touring the states, Damon Albarn answered "Maybe, if anyone is interested." The announcement comes complete with a new song called "Go Out" which you can watch below.
