		<title>On Phonology…</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, Phonetics is the study of speech sounds. Yes, there are people out there who have dedicated their entire lives to gallantly studying all the many sounds (there are more than you&#8217;d think) that the human mouth is capable of producing. If you choose to study Phonetics at university, which I did, briefly, you&#8217;ll probably [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So here we go again, another Friday for you, this one sitting in the middle of the music business’s Winter awards season.

		<title>CMU in 5: Bit-Torrent junkies choose cold turkey</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, what a chilly week that was, wasn’t it? But a busy one in the world of music, and here at CMU.

		<title>From esPResso: Some Leveson thoughts</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, I finally got round to watching some of the evidence statements given to the Leveson Inquiry into press ethics this weekend. So wide is the remit of this Inquiry, initiated in the fall out that followed the dramatic eruption of the phone-hacking scandal at the News Of The World last summer, that I fear [...]]]></description>

		<title>CMU in 5: No final appeal for Pirate Bay Four</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, it’s February already. I’m still not sure how that happened. It all means May is getting closer, and this year’s Great Escape is all starting to fall into place, which is rather exciting. We’ve already announced a well sized handful of radio themed sessions on the convention side, including John Kennedy in conversation with [...]]]></description>

		<title>CMU in 5: The week Wiki went dark</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, what a very busy week this has been – all that SOPA action in the US spilling over into the UK as Wikipedia went dark, the campaign against the EMI sale gaining some momentum, The Big Chill being cancelled for 2012, and more developments from Planet Grooveshark. And then, just as we thought we [...]]]></description>

		<title>CMU in 5: More gloom for His Master&#8217;s Voice</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So hello there everybody, how’s your 2012 going so far? Have you joined in with the “whatever happened to guitar bands”debate yet this week? Or the “why the hell didn’t these acts get any BRIT nods” discussion? Or the latest chapter in the “streaming services, blah” saga, perhaps wondering why the new single from the officially reformed [...]]]></description>

		<title>CMU in 5: The oblivion of Beyond Oblivion</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So that was Christmas. Did you enjoy it? It all seems an awfully long time ago now, doesn’t it? In fact, I’m starting to suspect it never actually happened. But I can confirm some shit did go down in the music business in the two weeks since the CMU Daily last popped up in your [...]]]></description>

		<title>CMU in 5: A Mega week for litigation</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, here we go, the final Week In Five of 2011, because this time next week we’ll have eaten far too many mince pies to be writing a CMU Daily. Talking of food, somehow today I’ve got to fit a Music Publishers Association Christmas lunch in around four publication deadlines, which should make for an [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So, how the hell did it get to be almost halfway through December so quickly? There’s only one more of these Week In Five columns to go in 2012, and two weeks today we’ll be looking back at the whole year instead as we all break up for Christmas. And I haven’t even bought an [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So, I’m writing to you this week from a frosty corner of Cheshire, having headed North yesterday to take part in the recording of a special edition of the BBC Introducing show on Radio Lancashire.

		<description><![CDATA[So hello there one and all, and welcome to Black Friday, America’s national day of shopping which Amazon is trying to inflict on the rest of us with its various “Black Friday Week” offers.

		<title>From esPResso: The eight dimensions of social media</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If there&#8217;s one thing the interns on the current Taylor Bennett Foundation programme have discovered in their ten weeks of learning, it&#8217;s that a lot of people in PR are talking about social media a lot. But they&#8217;ve also discovered that across the industry different people are talking about social media in quite different ways. So, given [...]]]></description>

		<title>CMU in 5: EMI sold, at last!!!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We use a company called Constant Contact to manage the CMU bulletin mailings, and recently it revamped its platform so that every time I login it tells me how awesome I am. It’s cheesy and very American (the company’s based in Massachusetts) yet every time I see it I can’t stop my deluded inner self [...]]]></description>

		<title>From Inside Track: End of an era</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If, like me, you write about the music business every day, for years now you&#8217;ve been speculating about the future of the British major music company EMI and about the prospect of Google launching an iTunes-competing download store. And this week both stories sort of reached a conclusion. As you no doubt saw, last weekend [...]]]></description>

Do you work in PR or public relations or publicity or corporate communications or stakeholder relations or reputation management? All of these terms could be used to describe what is basically a PR job, ie it involves managing relationships [...]]]></description>

		<title>CMU in 5: Time for some VAT chat</title>

If you’d wanted to, you could have spent pretty much the entire seven days sitting in a music-related awards ceremonies, what with that big MTV bash in Belfast last weekend, the Music Industry Trust celebrating all things Jools Holland on Monday, then the Music Video Awards, the Student [...]]]></description>

		<title>From Inside Track: Love Hate</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I think it&#8217;s just a fact of life that if you&#8217;re hugely popular with one half of the population, the other half are going to hate you, and some of them will really hate you. That&#8217;s nothing new, though in the internet age the hatred &#8211; when it happens &#8211; is much more obvious, because [...]]]></description>

		<title>From Inside Track: Bieber&#8217;s not going to jail</title>
		<description><![CDATA[While one very big allegation regarding a certain Justin Bieber has led on the gossip sites in the last 48 hours, another interesting claim was made about the teen star recently. And that second claim relates to an interesting development in online copyright, which possibly makes it more appropriate to discuss here. Plus, while I&#8217;ve [...]]]></description>

With the ongoing EMI sale, more speculation about Google’s download store, and, outside the industry news zone, the Conrad Murray trial rumbling on, it sort of felt like we were on the verge of some really [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So, what&#8217;s in a name? A lot of bother sometimes. A girl group competing on the UK version of &#8216;X-Factor&#8217; was this week forced to change their name after an online campaign.  The name they had chosen, Rhythmix, was the same as that of a British charity which works with disadvantaged young people on music-based [...]]]></description>

Mine started great – perfect commute, extra chocolate on my coffee from that little stand at London Bridge, speedy bus ride up to Shoreditch High Street – where I found CMU HQ sans-electricity. And no, it wasn’t a money-in-the-metre scenario, the whole building was in darkness (well, if Hackney [...]]]></description>

		<title>From Inside Track: Perhaps albums will survive</title>
