| Phil Spector trial: Day 41 The Phil Spector murder trial resumed in Los Angeles today (July 31) with testimony from a DNA expert and a lawyer representing actress Lana Clarkson's employer. Private DNA expert Marc Scott Taylor testified for the defence, describing the manner in which Clarkson's dried blood was collected by sheriff's criminalists. He said that he received samples wrapped in a paper Post-It note, which has been argued is not an ideal method of collecting physical evidence. The significance of this is not yet clear. Also testifying today was Richard Munisteri, a lawyer for the parent company of House of Blues, where Clarkson was working at the time of her death. Munisteri testified that the 40-year old actress was earning $9 an hour at her job as a hostess in the VIP room, reports the Los Angeles Times. This testimony may help support the defence's argument that Clarkson was depressed because her acting career was floundering, which may have led to her taking her own life. Spector is accused of murdering Clarkson in his Los Angeles mansion hours after meeting her at the House of Blues. The defence contends the actress' death was an accidental suicide. |
Lollapalooza goes global? Legendary US rock festival Lollapalooza may go global within the next decade. Festival founder Perry Farrell, who fronted legendary alternative rockers Jane's Addiction and now heads up Satellite Party, expressed the desire to bring the festival to a world stage. "I'm going to look to take it global," Farrell told MTV.com. "I want to put together an event around the world in the next 10 years that will refashion, redress, and transform. It's something I'm looking into now, and if it happens, it will happen quick. That's my ambition," he said. Lollapalooza travelled across the United States in the 1990s, but currently stays put in one location for three days. This year's festival is set to take place August 3-5 in Chicago's Grant Park. Headliners include Interpol, Muse, Modest Mouse, Daft Punk and Kings of Leon, as previously announced. |
Wireless Sansa Connect player, which sells for $250, will be paired with Yahoo's music service. In another pairing of two companies chasing Apple in the digital music space, SanDisk and Yahoo said today that they are pairing SanDisk's wireless Sansa Connect music player with Yahoo's music and media services. The deal will allow people who buy the $250 Sansa Connect player to subscribe to Yahoo Music Unlimited To Go, an $11.99-per-month music rental service via which users can listen to or download tracks and also listen to music from nearby Sansa Connect users via a Wi-Fi network. The pairing also allows people to use a Wi-Fi Internet connection to listen to Yahoo's LAUNCHcast Internet radio and browse Flickr photos, since LAUNCHcast and Flickr are both part of the Yahoo network. When the 4-gigabyte Sansa Connect is not connected to a Wi-Fi network, the player behaves like a traditional Flash music player and can be connected to a personal computer. Users can play music and view photos stored either on the player or on an optional microSD card. The move is yet another attempt to combat Apple's domination of the digital music space. Apple's iPods accounted for nearly 74 percent of the total MP3 player market share, as of February, according to NPD Group. SanDisk is a distant second at 9 percent. "I don't think this is going to make a serious dent in Apple's market share anytime soon," Jupier Research analyst David Card told MarketWatch today. "But it's a good sign that there is innovation going on in the space, and clearly that's what needs to happen before anybody can compete with Apple." The new player, unveiled by SanDisk at CES in January, supports both subscription services and digital downloads, meaning that it has the technology to support playback and storage of songs that are rented for a monthly fee in Microsoft's PlaysForSure format, as well as those purchased outright. |
