Well, another blow for the pirating industry as the Senate passed an RIAA back bill that will further make stricter rules on intellectual property. This past week the Senate finally agreed with the RIAA backed bill and will now begin to enforce stricter rules and regulations of the piracy and distribution of all illegal and intellectual property.

The RIAA(Recording Industry Association of America) is the group that is trying to protect musicians and their right to release music and stop the pirating and illegal sharing of copyrighted music. This information and group all began to voice their disdain with pirating when Napster blew up the scene back in the early 2000’s. The full article and information regarding this bill can be found here.

On a light note next week we will be highlighting great new products brought to you by Alberts Gifts!

Today is the day that Van Halen front man David Lee Roth turns 52.  Van Halen provided musical billboard hits such as “Jump,” and “Hot For Teacher.”  Van Halen was popular during the 80’s and continues to inspire musicians worldwide with their “always partying no matter what time of day attitude.”

Upon checking the rest of the music news today(and for this week actually) nothing is happening or has happened.  There will be an interview with Britney Spears on Meet the Press, and she will discuss her problems during the past two years.

Billboard Hit for this week was:  T.I. - Paper Trail

Billboard Hit for last week was:  Metallica - Death Magnetic

Aside from that, it’s been certainly quiet on the news front in the music business!  Heres to a better week for controversay and notable mentions next week!

We here at Alberts Gifts have just received some new awesome items to help prepare you for the upcoming season changes, and maybe even some practical music gifts for the holidays that are so fastly approaching us.  Listed below are 3 great items that we sell on AlbertsGifts.com that you should check out and see!

This week, we lost someone who helped create a new sounding rock n roll industry.  Richard Wright passed away at the age of 65 on Monday September 15th, 2008, losing his battle with cancer.  Richard Wright was a founding member of the mega popular English band Pink Floyd.  Pink Floyd has helped create the music we listen to today, and are very worthy of being one of the best bands ever.  Albert Gifts is certainly raising a lighter for this lost musician.

Also another need to mention name in the music industry is Jimi Hendrix.  He died 38 years ago today(9/18/70).  Jimi Hendrix died of speculated Heroin use, and also helped create the rock and roll industry that is present today.  His was most famous for songs as “All Along The Watchtower”,  “Purple Haze”, and “The Star Spangled Banner” at Woodstock in 1969.

So please remember, the two magnificent musicians that we have lost this week and honor them by playing music from their collection.

Rest in Peace.

So last night was the MTV Video music awards. Mostly over the years this show has grown into an upbeat “radical” showing of people from all natures, attitudes, and styles. Mostly last night, for the first time in awhile it felt as if it was very plain, which by MTV standards it was incredibly dull for this is the award ceremony of the year that strides on creating drama. Other than the awards, nothing really good happened and it was a very typical 4 hour award ceremony. Listed below are the winners of the major awards from the night.

Video of the year: Britney Spears, “Piece of Me.”

Female video: Britney Spears, “Piece of Me.”

Male video: Chris Brown, “With You.”

Rock video: Linkin Park, “Shadow of the Day.”

Hip-hop video: Lil Wayne, “Lollipop.”

Pop video: Britney Spears, “Piece of Me.”

Dancing in a video: The Pussycat Dolls, “When I Grow Up.”

New artist: Tokio Hotel

Was this past Saturday.  He died on August 16th, 1977, and this would end up being his 33rd year of death.  AlbertsGifts.com wanted to mention this date as an important one in time due to the death of a King.  His passing, shook the music and real world to the core and created a common feeling of sadness throughout the weeks after his death.

Elvis has been inducted into four music ‘Halls of Fame’: the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (1986), the Rockabilly Hall of Fame (1997), the Country Music Hall of Fame (1998), and the Gospel Music Hall of Fame (2001).

The King’s legacy lives on throughout his family, and his various roles as a movie star, war vet, and recordings.  Elvis 1935-1977.
