HMV is looking to ramp up its live in-store event offering and has partnered with Tixserve to provide secure, content-rich digital tickets.
Tixserve is a Software as a Service (SaaS), white label, digital ticketing solution that enables event creators and rights-owners to create branded, interactive digital tickets that are delivered directly to consumers’ mobile phones.
In the run-up to HMV’s Twenty One Pilots events, it was found that touts were advertising yet to be activated Tixserve tickets online for up to £200 – a mark-up of more than 1,000% on the album/ticket bundle.
When fans alerted HMV of these cases, organisers were able to disable all ticket transfer functionality unless authorised on a case-by-case basis.
“The recent run of sell out Twenty One Pilots events required us to distribute over 3000 tickets with purchases of the band’s Trench album.
Half of all new guitar players are women, finds study
All this comes in spite of rock music slipping below the popularity of genres such as hip hop, suggesting its prevalence has more to do with how the guitar is valued by individuals for its educational and social benefits.
Is there such thing as bad music?
is it bad music or music you just don’t like?
appealing to mass opinions on music.
teleology/finality explanation is music a tool?
does the song sound sincere?
morality (what the song is about, political views)
poorly handled dissonances, random fragments of melody, awkward rhythms
simplicity can be annoying, but punk and country and stand by me
technical proficiency
does it accurately convey the artists intent?
a good song manifests human excellence. In other words, it is not the case that any ordinary person could create a song like it. Its creation required enormous skill. It impresses. It earns our admiration. The difficult that the creator traversed amazes us.
personality is climate what mood is to weather.
Age, sex, and socio-economic status are more relevant than personality when it comes to explaining any genre-based preferences.
in early childhood, before the higher brain networks are developed, learning is much more driven by emotions. So musical experiences acquired at that time would be more emotional than cognitive.
Another feature which shapes our musical preferences is influence of our peers. Every generation seems to have its own music that the older generation "doesn't understand". Young people introduce each other to different musical styles and bond around their own brand of music.
