this is the second volume of our new weekly series
recommending you some nice, but longer reads about music
it’s a weekend, you have more time, so just go
read and think
and let us know what you think about the recommended subjects
this week you can read and think about these:

RIAA [Wired]
RIAA Training Video Leaked onto Torrent Sites
The RIAA apparently produced a new video, already available on a variety of torrent tracker sites, in conjunction with the National District Attorneys Association with the goal of instructing U.S. prosecutors on how to deal with music piracy cases.  According to early reports, the video, called In Trial, also provides instructions on how to get an RIAA investigator qualified as a court expert.

Indiepop [TimesOnline]
Pop bands shun major labels to go indie
As the music industry implodes, we introduce the rising young pop bands taking a leaf out of the indie rulebook

Men VS Women [Guardian]
Women and men do not listen to music differently
They might react emotionally to different things – but the theory put forward by Lesley Douglas, co-ordinator of the BBC’s popular music coverage, is patronising bunkum

Old Nick [Guardian]
Nick Cave interview
He has been spitting hellfire and damnation for years, but now that he has turned 50, is Nick Cave finally mellowing? Of course not, he tells Simon Hattenstone 

Whatever you think about the movie or Brad Pitt, the music is ACE. No wonder because it was made by Nick Cave.

Nick Cave’s a ridiculously consistent songwriter, but there’s one gift he possesses that eludes even his most prolific and talented peers: An incomparable sense of discipline. Factor in work with the Bad Seeds, solo albums, Grinderman, novels, scores, collaborations, and 2005′s The Proposition– the brutal, fly-specked Australian western that Cave wrote and (with the help of Warren Ellis) also scored– and the man appears a veritable cottage industry.

The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (directed by Cave’s fellow Aussie indie iconoclast Andrew Dominik and beautifully lit and shot by cinematographer Roger Deakins) is, like The Proposition, an eccentric western. But unlike most eccentric westerns, in Jesse James the dread is balanced by a hypnotic, elegiac quality, and the plot’s inevitability (see: the title) is tempered by Brad Pitt’s and Casey Affleck’s haunting and enigmatic performances (the latter has earned an Oscar nod and a ton of critics prizes for his turn as a would-be stalker, as did Deakins for his lensing).
