The music industry is an ever-evolving beast and has never gone through more change and a faster succession of technological developments than in the last fifteen years. When recordable cassettes, CDs and then mini-discs came into circulation – allowing consumers to copy and share music free-of-charge – many thought commercial music sales were doomed. Not so. And when the first illegal music downloading and file-sharing websites sprouted up, the music industry was again sent into a spin; sites like Napster were sued and shut down and individual file-sharers were targeted and sued for copyright infringements.

In 2003, however, many new sites emerged offering legal music downloads for a fee. Apple, for example, introduced iTunes where song downloads became available at US$0.99 a piece, and Napster re-emerged with the legal rights to sell music. But the internet did more for music and music buyers than offering legal downloads: it gave new artists a platform for launching their musical careers, without requiring the assistance of a record label, manager, publicist or distribution outlet, and also introduced a way for new artists to share their music with the world, to promote their personal brand at no cost.

In 2010, The Maghreb Socialite™ decided to take this one step further and to reach out to its younger market at the same time by establishing a free legal music download site called The Maghreb Socialite™ - Tape Mix, which promotes and offers the songs of up-and-coming artists. Since its launch, Thousands of people have used the site and thousands of songs have been downloaded, making it an extremely successful legal download site. An anonymous TMS member, poet, internet guru and lyricist, is in full support of such initiatives. He believes that “these days, free downloads are the best way to promote any talent that isn’t a completely manufactured phenomenon aimed at pre-teen girls (which is, as far as I can tell, the only market the music business still understands). Of course, much depends on placement,” he cautions. “Just sticking some songs on a MySpace page isn’t likely to get one very far. But the The Maghreb Socialite™ site already confers a special quality that would elevate interest in a certain market.”

Another musician and TMS member, is also a great fan of the opportunity. He says, “The days of people walking into a record store and buying a CD are fading, so artists need to embrace the digital world. Particularly for emerging artists, free downloads are a great way to get heard by a new audience and hopefully turn some of these people into fans of the band who will later buy tickets to a show or merchandise. The truth is that people are going to listen to music for free, so it’s better to join in than try to fight it.”

The Maghreb Socialite™ Tape Mixes are themed and thoroughly entertaining. The first edition aired on January 1st and looked at the musical trend of ‘Jazzy Hop’.

Time is something that can never be possessed. Yet it is something that can be mastered, as the history of TAG Heuer shows. Step by step, always at the very limits of the possible, they have split time into ever more precise increments, and expressed their technical breakthroughs in chronographs of the highest prestige and quality.

Now the challenge has extended from the mastery of time to the mastery of communication. The result is the MERIDIIST—the first ever communication instrument built by Swiss watchmakers, making it the instigator of a new tradition, bringing craftsmanship, heritage and avant-garde design to a field characterized by the transient and ephemeral. Indeed the MERIDIIST opens up the possibility—for the first time—of a luxury mobile phone that could be thought of as timeless.

Swiss engineering takes centre stage, as embodied in the phone’s dress of steel and glass. The phone’s case is clad in corrosion-resistant, 316L stainless steel and allows for a perfect mirror surface, the extremely refined stainless steel keypad is composed of 18 geometrically different hand-made keys, while the display front is crafted from scratchproof 60.5-carat sapphire glass.

More complex than TAG Heuer’s chronographs with over 430 components, the MERIDIIST fuses two unique design features which literally put time in your hand—the front secondary time display and the TAG Heuer switch, allowing for discreet checking of the time, caller identification and chronograph functionality.

The perfect cosmopolitan travelling companion, the quad-band MERIDIIST boasts a concealed digital camera and has been honed to provide unsurpassable service—exemplified by exceptional battery life, up to 7 hours of talk time / 28 days of standby time, an ultra-sensitive internal antenna and crystal clear acoustics.

I don’t regularly watch E! News Daily, but I happened to be watching the other day when anchorman Billy Bush called reality-star-turned-famous-for-nothing-celebutard Tila Tequila “the epitome of low-life, no-talent, famous-for being-famous Tinsel Town scum.” Billy was identifying a growing breed of bottom-feeder that has been born of our media-inflated world. These aptly named “celebutards” love any opportunity to get their name out there, and there is no better opportunity than a natural disaster or tragedy, like the recent earthquake in Haiti. Our favourite celebutard of the week? Amy Fisher, aka The Long Island Lolita, who became famous as a 17-year-old in 1992 for shooting her lover’s wife in the face. Amy will be donating some of her earnings from stripping this weekend at The Scene Restaurant and Lounge in Long Island, New York to the victims in Haiti. She what? Oh Amy…

You can’t stay inside all winter. After all, life doesn’t stop simply because it’s cold outside. The days might be shorter and the temperatures lower, but there’s still plenty of action going on out in the world. Hibernation might work for some, but most of us know the best way to keep warm is to keep moving. Grab a coat or hop on a plane for these must-see winter events. Now share some of your favourites.

Munich Carnival, Munich, Germany
1 January – 16 February 2010
There are carnival celebrations all over Germany, but Munich’s Fasching is closest to that of Venice—with its own distinctive German variations, of course.

Go to www.muenchen.de for more information.

21 – 31 January 2010

This year Quebec’s Winter Carnival continues to add more activities to a list that combines winter sports with the traditional Quebec lifestyle. Stop in the stands to watch a leg of the dogsled races and then warm up in the outdoor hot tub or sauna. Go to www.carnaval.qc.ca for more information.

Venice Carnival, Venice, Italy
6 – 16 February 2010
The Carnival of Venice was first recorded in 1296 when the senate declared the day before lent a public holiday. Carnival has since expanded and grown over the last few centuries to become one of city’s biggest tourist draws. With masks, period costumes, balls and the potential for anonymous debauchery, who wouldn’t want to go? There are many options for the novice carnival reveller, but carnival experts usually attend one of the many invitation-only balls, with the Il Ballo del Doge being the most extravagant and exclusive.

Berlin Film Festival, Berlin, Germany
11 – 21 February 2010

For more information, check out www.vancouver2010.com.

Rio Carnival 2010, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
13 – 16 February 2010
There are lots of famous parades, but there is nothing like Rio’s Samba Parade. The purpose of the parade is to give Rio’s samba schools a chance to compete against each other. The result is one of the greatest shows on earth (Barnum & Bailey who?). Of course, no good carnival would be complete without a ball. Costumes aren’t mandatory, but one really shouldn’t go to carnival in his/her civvies. But keep this in mind: Costume standards are very high in the capital of carnival. For more information on parade times, click here.

Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras, Sydney, Australia

Last week, some enterprising fans created a visual guide to the Apple Tablet rumors. Today, the French website Nowhere Else has done something similar for the next generation iPhone. The image highlights the various rumors surrounding the next version of the iPhone (the iPhone 4G if you will) into one annotated graphic.An OLED display, 5-megapixel camera and a release date between May and July appear to be the most likely rumors (and we agree that those all sound like very distinct possibilities). Also ranking high are rumors of a front-facing camera, dual-core processor with more RAM and a touch-sensitive case.

As for the removable battery rumor, 60% likely or not, we don’t see that happening. Apple has moved its portable line to built-in batteries; it seems unlikely to us that they would add a removable battery to the iPhone.

You can check out a larger version of the image directly at Nowhere Else. What do you think of this roundup? What features would you like to see in the next iPhone? Let us know!
