MySpace Music users will soon be able to enjoy on-demand streams from the likes of Arctic Monkeys, Adele, Basement Jaxx, Dorrough, Bjork, Tom Waits, DJ Khaled, Franz Ferdinand, Prodigy, Animal Collective, Rancid and Vampire Weekend.

MySpace Music has now finalized a global licensing deal with the labels represented by Merlin, according to details tipped Friday to Digital Music News. Both companies confirmed the relationship, thanks to resolution on a major sticking point related to equity. MySpace noted that Merlin – and other indies – are now structured to “benefit from the financial growth of MySpace Music” as part of a “growth participation plan,” the exact terms were not shared.

For Merlin, the deal includes participation in MySpace Music Board of Directors meetings, though specifics on Merlin’s equity stakes were also withheld. The companies are planning an official announcement on Tuesday, and more details on the financial terms and stakes are likely to emerge next week.

That comes from a label roster that includes Beggars Group, Domino, E1 Music (formerly Koch Records), Cooking Vinyl, Tommy Boy, and Epitaph. “We can now provide our users with access to the rich catalog that Merlin brings while simultaneously enabling Merlin labels to monetize their content within the MySpace community and easily track their fan engagement via our Artist Dashboard,” said MySpace Music chief Courtney Holt.

US singer Beyonce Knowles has postponed her concert in Malaysia planned for this weekend, organisers said Monday, denying that the move was linked to threats of protests by Muslim groups.

The R&B star was scheduled to perform on Sunday at a stadium on the outskirts of Kuala Lumpur, two years after she cancelled her debut concert here amid fears of protests by conservative Muslim groups.

“The postponement is solely the decision of the artiste and has nothing to do with other external reasons,” the event organiser Marctensia said in a statement.

It said a new date for the concert will be announced “shortly” and more details will be released this week.

The conservative Pan-Malaysian Islamic party (PAS), which has called for a ban on Beyonce’s performance, said the event should be cancelled outright rather than merely be postponed.

“We are not against entertainment, but it’s the way she performs — her gyrating moves on stage and her sexy outfits. It will erode the moral values of our young people,” PAS youth chief Nasruddin Hassan Tantawi told AFP.

The concert was part of Beyonce’s “I am…” world tour, which has seen her perform in North America and Europe.

Marctensia had indicated the singer would tone down her dress for the Malaysian performance, saying earlier that “all parties have come to an amicable understanding on the matter”.

Performances by foreign bands frequently come under fire in Malaysia — a multicultural country with a Muslim Malay majority and ethnic Chinese and Indian minorities — with PAS typically leading the charge.

Can we use the roar of the high intensity crowd and all their human energy to light up the stadium? If we can use all this high energy, can we get a discount on our tickets for the energy savings? How about a Rock Concert discount tickets thru Alternative Energy Lighting Program? Sounds good to me? But is it really possible to light up a stage and all the lighting using vibrational energy from all the people packed in?

It maybe possible by placing large 4 x 8′ sandwich sheets with a taunt film on the vibrational side and small copper lined tubes, hundreds of them running perpendicular to the sheets, with magnets inside bouncing back and forth. These magnets will charge a capacitor and be hooked up to an LED lighting system using fiber optics or reflectors, each one hooked up to a .2 to .5 watt light. With hundreds of thousands of lights hooked up in a composite format it will light up the stage and building.

Currently this technology is being used in those little flashlights you see advertised on television that you shake and they light, but you never need batteries. This idea of lighting up the stadium is using that technology on a larger scale with miniaturized parts making up the guts between the sandwich sheets. Let there be light, thru vibrational energy and there was. Think on it.
