En Minor, photo by JehN.W.A. Pantera singer Philip Anselmo’s gothic Americana project En Minor have announced a livestream of an upcoming performance at the historic Orpheum Theater in New Orleans. The virtual show streams on November 25th at 6 p.m. CT / 7 p.m. ET and will be available for on-demand viewing through November 29th. Shot on eight cameras, the event follows similar cinematic livestream performances by Mr. Bungle, Puscifer, and Corey Taylor. Anselmo and En Minor will take up residence in the legendary Orpheum in NOLA. Built in 1918, the theater is known for its unique Vaudevillian-era “vertical hall” design, originally built to provide perfect sight lines and acoustics for Vaudeville shows that didn’t have modern amplifiers or lighting. “To play a beautiful room like The Orpheu...
It is little surprise that Spotify is making another big acquisition in the podcast space, following big deals with companies like Gimlet, Anchor and Parcast in the past two years. Since the beginning of 2019, CEO Daniel Ek has referred to audio as the future of the company, envisioning a world where Spotify was less dependent on music — and the content costs of such music — to gain and retain users, listener hours and, ideally, subscribers.

In late October, the company announced in its third quarter earni...

The 1977 single, which also topped the Hot 100 over 40 years ago, has now been used in nearly a half-million TikTok videos, and on-demand audio streams on Spotify and other services have almost quadrupled (while Fleetwood Mac’s overall catalog of streams doubled). Warner may have made over $250,000 in incremental revenue on “Dreams” — plus another $250,000 on the increased popularity of the rest of the...
