A little bird flew in and told us the possible cause for Beatport to suddently abandon their affiliate marketing program, leaving many sites in the lurch with broken links and no answers.
The little bird surmised that Beatport's affilate program was costing them more dollars in fraudulent transactions than they were making in revenues. How does something like this happen? Let us explain.

Beatport shuts down its affiliate program leaving partner sites with no explanation and no where to turn. Just another blunder on a long list of customer service and business development decisions that could have a long term, detrimental impact on the popular DJ download service.

I'm sorry, I think my head just exploded. NME reports that Thom Yorke (that's Radiohead's frontman to you, if you live under a rock) was kind enough to lend backing vocals to Bjork's forthcoming single, "Nattura," due out in the U.S. on October 20th. The song is named for an Icleandic environmental protection organization that Bjork has supported in the past, and it's not the first collaboration between Yorke and Bjork (who I shall henceforth refer to as B'yorke). The pair dueted on "I've Seen it All," from 2000's Selmasongs, the soundtrack to the brilliant but supremely depressing musical, "Dancer in the Dark."
As a fan of both artists, I'm eager to hear what these crazy kids concoct. Now, back to sewing my swan dress Halloween costume.
Whodany feat. Patci is a minimal electro stomper. Whodany, ever the taletned videographer, not only produced the track, but created an intense, fantasy like visual that puts the track in its proper perspective. Drugs are really that bad...to some people.
