Hitler-Autographed "Mein Kampf" Emerges in Jan. 5th NY Auction

YONKERS, N.Y., Dec. 31, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Printed the year Hitler rose to power, a 1933 edition of Mein Kampf signed boldly by Hitler will appear at a Yonkers, N.Y. auction on Jan. 5, 2016.

In a seldom-seen black cloth binding, Hitler's signature appears beneath his photograph.

Auction spokesman Bob Snyder remarked, "Hitler's signature was also printed under his portrait. That facsimile is frequently mistaken for an authentic autograph. The book offered here bears a true signature, authenticated by the late H. Keith Thompson, Jr., partner of the most famous autograph dealer in America in the last century, renowned for their Waldorf-Astoria sales."

The autographed book is also accompanied by Mein Kampf's first complete American edition. Published in 1939, its publisher notes, "now for the first time available in complete form to the American reader...Crises...have awakened the American public as never before to the seriousness of the world and to themselves of the Nazi program...There are undoubtedly passages of great importance, which now appear in English for the first time...."

Snyder continued, "In 2016, this book - probably the most notorious in modern history - will be reprinted. But the author isn't signing them any more! Autographed copies, especially with provenance, are in strong demand."

(Preauction estimate $5,500-7,000) Lot 16-1; full description of all items at http://cohascodpc.com/cat65/cat65-auction.html

Offered separately: The famous - and rare - newspaper on George Washington's 1775 appointment as Commander-in-Chief: "Congress doth now declare, that they will...adhere to him...with their lives and fortunes..." (estimate $2200-2800)

Among 400 other historical documents and collectibles in 20 categories:


-- A musicologist's archive of over 235 pieces of big band and jazz
memorabilia, 1926-66. Historic nights represented include 1937's Benny
Goodman vs. Chick Webb Battle of Swing, an early Louis Armstrong gig at
the Apollo, Glenn Miller at CBS Radio Theatre, and many others (estimate
$5400-6500)

-- A scarce 1783 newspaper, the citizens of Philadelphia seeking
"deportation of Foreigners, to...prevent this State from becoming a
receptacle for the outcasts of America." A front-page chart details the
U.S. national debt, then just $42 million (estimate $225-325)

-- An unpublished letter of Emma Lazarus, shedding light on why rescuing
refugees from war-torn lands was so near to her heart. Lazarus' words
are emblazoned on the Statue of Liberty's pedestal. Dying at just 38,
hers is one of the rarest 19th-century American autographs (estimate
$22,000-32,000)

-- A national treasure: the finest Lincoln signature in the famed Crocker
Collection, part of an autograph album with 183 other autographs of his
Civil War Cabinet and Congress (estimate $14,000-18,000)

-- 1837 pamphlet on the "ever growing tide" of Americans invading Mexico!

Shanghai New Year's Concert to Bring an Evening of Opera Classics for the First Time

Shanghai New Year's Concert to Bring an Evening of Opera Classics for the First Time

SHANGHAI, Dec. 31, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- The Shanghai New Year's Concert to be presented by Shanghai Symphony Orchestra on the last day of 2015 will feature a selection of opera masterpieces by Verdi for the first time, changing the tradition of orchestral music taking the lead role in New Year's concerts.

After six successful concerts in seven years, Shanghai New Year's Concert has become a well-established cultural brand and holiday tradition in the city that features internationally renowned maestros conducting Shanghai Symphony Orchestra to present all-time classical masterpieces to the audiences.

"Shanghai Symphony Orchestra's New Year's Concert was the first real New Year's concert that is closely related to the music scene in the Shanghai, it has its own themes and particular emphasis when drawing up the program every year instead of simply copying the New Year's concerts from abroad," commented critic Li Yanhuan.

Shanghai Symphony Orchestra will also debut the 2016 Spring Festival Concert on February 6, 2016, which will bring together the magnificent Chinese folk music and grand Western orchestral music. The concert will also feature contemporary Chinese compositions that aim to explore new cultural values in the traditions.

Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra's chief conductor Daniele Gatti to take the baton

Last year, the Shanghai New Year's Concert staged in the Shanghai Symphony Hall featuring works by Sibelius, Ravel and Stravinsky stood out from the series of New Year's concerts hosted in Shanghai that mostly featured traditional programs such as waltz and polka.

Shanghai Symphony Orchestra has been focusing on incorporating the guest conductors' best works when planning the concert program -- Riccardo Muti has led the orchestra's performance of "Capriccio Italien," Kurt Masur brought works by Beethoven, Mikhail Pletnev conducted Russian masterpieces, Alan Gilbert showed authentic American Jazz, Christoph Eschenbach conducted works by Mahler, Weber and Mendelssohn as well as Paavo Jarvi's presentation of "Ma Vlast."

German maestro Masur, who conducted the 2011 Shanghai New Year's Concert and presented Beethoven's Symphony No.9 to the Shanghai audience, passed away on December 19.

"The Beethoven Symphony No.9 conducted by Masur at that concert was one of the best performances in the history of Shanghai Symphony Orchestra," recalled Chen Guangxian, who was the president of the orchestra at that time. "I remembered Masur's hands were trembling backstage, he couldn't eat without his wife's help, but immediately as he took the stage and picked up the baton, it was by hands of the god."

Following this strategy, the 2016 Shanghai New Year's Concert will be conducted by Daniele Gatti, the newly appointed chief conductor of Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra in the Netherlands. The orchestra has previously topped Gramophone magazine's ranking of top 10 symphony orchestras in the world.

Soprano Olga Peretyatko will join Gatti and Shanghai Symphony Orchestra to perform Verdi's opera pieces including "E strano! e strano!' from "La traviata" and "Caro nome" from "Rigoletto" among others.

Gatti is another internationally acclaimed conductor from Italy following the footsteps of Arturo Toscanini, Muti, Giuseppe Sinopoli and Claudio Abbado. As an experienced opera conductor, he has performed iconic opera works in major opera houses around the world. In December 2013, Gatti conducted La Scala's opening night performance of "La traviata" which unveiled the year-long celebration of Verdi's 200(th) anniversary. Gatti is also keen to promote new opera productions as well.

At the 2016 Shanghai New Year's Concert, the renowned Verdi conductor will bring an evening of opera classics to the Shanghai audience, featuring both orchestral and aria pieces from "La traviata", "Rigoletto", "Aida" and more. The program will create an exciting musical journey around the world as the stories of the operas were set in ancient Egypt, ancient Babylon, Italy, Sweden as well as the Middle East.

This is also the second Shanghai New Year's Concert conducted by an Italian maestro since Muti in 2009 along with the return of "I vespri siciliani." Shanghai Symphony Orchestra's breakthrough to feature opera in addition to orchestral music at the New Year's Concert is bringing a new sound to the New Year's concert tradition.

Russian soprano Peretyatko has a brighter and more crystal clear voice comparing with other Russian sopranos on today's world stage. At the concert, she'll transform into Violetta Valery or the Ethiopian princess Aida to challenge the emotional changes and personalities of different roles in Italian opera with her superb voice and singing techniques.

Spring Festival Concert -- musical expression of contemporary China

As one of the key missions of Shanghai Symphony Orchestra is to bring western classical music to Chinese audience while at the same time give the world the opportunity to hear the voice of China, on February 6, 2016, just in time for the Spring Festival, Shanghai Symphony Orchestra will debut the 2016 Spring Festival Concert as an all-new brand which representes the next breakthrough since the Shanghai Symphony Hall was opened in 2014.

The Spring Festival Concert will be conducted by Yan Huichang, music director of Hong Kong Chinese Orchestra and feature young guzheng player Su Chang, master sheng player Weng Zhenfa as well as Mailasu, musician of morin khuur, overtone singing and temur huur.

The 2016 Spring Festival Concert will be different from other similar concerts celebrating the Chinese New Year by combining traditional folk music with western symphony orchestra while at the same time present new contemporary compositions through the fusion of east and west.

The program includes not only the festive "Spring Festival Overture," but also works such as the Symphony No.1 Chang'an, "Sketch of the Guizhou Ranges," "Ru Shi for Zheng and Orchestra" and "Changes, concert for Sheng and Orchestra" that reflect different ethnic cultures.

"Gen," or "The Source" for Morin Khuur, overtone singing, temur huur and orchestra is a piece that blends traditional Chinese music with world music.

The concert will also present folk songs "Colorful Clouds Chasing the Moon" and music from the film "The Legend of The Condor Heroes" to create a new Spring Festival experience for Shanghai audience.

Zhou Ping, president of Shanghai Symphony Orchestra, explained the initial idea behind creating the new Spring Festival Concert brand:

"Traditional Chinese music represents our own voice and can reflect our emotions and inner world, and the best way to welcome the Chinese New Year is through the combination of Chinese and western music," she said. "New York Philharmonic stages Spring Festival concert every year and has become an important local cultural activity, which also shows that the Chinese culture is being accepted and loved by more and more western audience."

To create a Spring Festival Concert that belongs to the city, Shanghai Symphony Orchestra is actively experimenting with different forms of artistic expression, letting the tradition to communicate with the modern era through a series of crossover efforts that will provide an opportunity for more Shanghai audience to experience the charms of music.

The tickets of the first Spring Festival Concert is currently hot selling and can be purchased online or at the box office.

Google Canada has just released its Year in Search for 2015, based on the company's annual analysis of trillions of searches performed globally throughout the year. Here to provide a Canadian perspective on the year's major events and hottest trends is Aaron Brindle, from Google Canada.

Aaron, what were the defining moments that captured our attention in 2015?

Aaron Brindle:

There were two topics that dominated our Year in Search for 2015 - the Blue Jays and the federal election.

The Blue Jays' were hands-down the most-searched topic of the year. There is no doubt that Canadians were passionate baseball fans in 2015.

The federal election was a close second, and was "how to vote" was a top-trending question. This election had the highest voter turnout since 1993, and with such a large and growing number of voters relying on the Internet for their election-related information, the web has become a vital tool for all Canadians who value access to information as a means of supporting an engaged, informed electorate.

Other trending searches this year include hockey's buzziest rookie Connor McDavid, the world's rarest and most expensive stamp, called the penny black, and apple roses - the recipe that took the Internet by storm this year.

Thank you Aaron. To check out the complete Canadian lists, head to google.ca/trends.

Experience to Define OTT Winners & Losers in 2016

Experience to Define OTT Winners & Losers in 2016

Conviva's Latest Viewer Experience Report Shows Growth in Big Screen Streaming, Demand for High-End Video Experience

FOSTER CITY, Calif., Dec. 30, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Conviva, the leader in Over the Top (OTT) video experience optimization for the world's top media companies, today announced the release of the final Viewer Experience Report Update for 2015.

The report reviews a year in which OTT services became core lines of business for leading media publishers and service providers, and new consumer usage patterns emerged, highlighting viewer demand for TV-quality experiences when streaming media across the Internet.

Building on research previously conducted by Conviva, this report reveals the new ways in which viewers consume OTT video, including a pronounced shift toward premium content, growth in available Internet capacity to enable high fidelity streams, and a building preference for larger screens.

Key findings of the survey include:


-- Consumption of episodic content increased by over 20%, diverting
attention from short-form assets
-- Four in ten consumers now has access to high quality (over 2Mbps)
streams, against less than three of ten in 2014
-- Although usage has increased across all device types, connected TV
devices now rule the roost, tallying nearly 8 times more minutes per
month than mobile phones, and four times more than tablets
-- Experience metrics vary wildly, with the worst startup times more than
three times longer than the shortest
"As viewers increase their consumption of premium content on larger devices, experience will be the factor that distinguishes the top services," said Dr. Hui Zhang, CEO of Conviva. "This report clearly shows a gathering tsunami of consumer demand, which will drive billions of dollars of revenue to the streaming media marketplace. The big story of 2016 will be the ability of providers in a highly competitive space to differentiate their offering by optimizing the consumer experience."

Gracenote Launches Data-Driven Tech to Improve the Quality of Sound for Drivers and Passengers

Gracenote Launches Data-Driven Tech to Improve the Quality of Sound for Drivers and Passengers

Gracenote Dynamic EQ(TM) Automatically Tunes Car Audio Settings for Your Favorite Jams

EMERYVILLE, Calif., Dec. 30, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Gracenote® wants drivers and passengers to get the most out of their favorite beats on the open road. Gracenote today announced a new technology for automakers that will automatically adjust the equalizer (EQ) settings in car audio systems for the song being played. Gracenote Dynamic EQ(TM) will leverage the company's industry standard music recognition technology and musical datasets to identify a song and automatically fine-tune the audio system for the best possible playback for each unique track.

http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20121218/SF29025LOGO

Gracenote Dynamic EQ is the first in a series of enhanced audio technologies from Gracenote that aim to improve the quality of sound in the car. Today's drivers have the ability to listen to practically every song ever recorded across every genre and era. However, most drivers typically leave their car audio systems in the same settings as they bounce from artist to artist and genre to genre. The result is a music experience that often lacks the depth and impact of the original studio recordings.

"Tuning an EQ can be incredibly complicated for the average music fan and virtually impossible for drivers who have to keep both eyes focused on the road," said Brian Hamilton, General Manager of Gracenote Automotive. "The introduction of Gracenote Dynamic EQ marks the first time that Gracenote, or any other company, has used track level descriptive metadata to drive the quality of the musical experience. The benefit for automakers is far and wide, helping them maximize the sound experience for high-end systems in luxury vehicles, as well as making audio systems in sub-compacts shine."

Gracenote Dynamic EQ is like having your own personal audiophile tweaking your car's audio system for every song you play. If you are jamming to Tupac or Biggie, Gracenote Dynamic EQ will recognize the track and specific Hip Hop attributes for the song and adjust the EQ settings by pumping up the bass and pulling back the treble. By contrast, a song by Taylor Swift will automatically trigger a very different set of EQ settings based on the Pop Vocal nature of the song boosting the midrange where the vocals are present and high-end to add clarity and sparkle.

Gracenote has created Dynamic EQ profiles with optimal equalizer settings for tens of millions of songs. The technology uses Gracenote's classification algorithm to analyze entire recordings and extract acoustic profiles - the levels of bass, treble and midrange as well as dips in the frequency range. Combined with descriptive data such as Genre, Era and Mood that Gracenote already has for millions of songs, Gracenote will recognize and match each track to its unique Dynamic EQ profile and automatically adjust the audio settings in the car's head unit.

Gracenote Dynamic EQ complements its music recognition technologies which are used to identify songs in real-time across AM/FM radio, CDs, satellite radio and streaming music services to deliver relevant metadata such as artist and album information and Cover Art to the automotive display. Combined, the new Gracenote solution will finely tune your favorite jams, at the track level, to the optimal settings for the best quality playback.

Gracenote has worked with automakers and suppliers to pioneer in-car entertainment, starting with first generation audio systems which were able to identify CDs, to delivering metadata and Cover Art, one-touch playlisting and "hands-free" voice recognition that is now standard in millions of cars today. In fact, Gracenote data and tech powers more than 65 million cars from every major OEM, from Ford and GM to BMW and Tesla.

About Gracenote
Gracenote, Inc. provides music and video content and technologies to the world's hottest entertainment products and brands. Gracenote is the industry standard for music and video recognition and is supported by the largest source of music and video metadata, featuring descriptions of more than 200 million tracks and TV listings for 85+ countries.

The Aflac Duck Rings in a Magical New Year

The Aflac Duck Rings in a Magical New Year

New Television Commercial 'Magician' Debuts on New Year's Eve

COLUMBUS, Ga., Dec. 30, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Aflac, the leading provider of voluntary insurance at the work site in the United States, today announced that the Aflac Duck has a few magic tricks up his wing in the company's newest television commercial, "Magician." The new ad will debut during two popular New Year's Eve shows tomorrow night: "Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve with Ryan Seacrest," which airs at 8 p.m. ET on ABC Television Network, and "Pitbull's New Year's Revolution," which airs at 8 p.m. ET on Fox.

Download a copy of "Magician."

This commercial is the final installment in a series of ads showcasing that while the Aflac Duck isn't good at everything, he excels at paying claims fast - often in just one day. The commercial reminds viewers that with Aflac's One Day Pay(SM), there's no trick to getting paid quickly. In fact, there are just three easy steps: 1) Use SmartClaim, 2) Upload supporting documentation and 3) Submit by 3 p.m. ET, Monday-Friday.

"We understand that when a policyholder gets sick or injured, a wave of the wand can't always fix everything. But Aflac can be there for our customers in their time of need with a payment in as little as a day so they can focus on recovering instead of their finances," Aflac Vice President of Product Marketing and Innovation Keith Pellerin said. "At Aflac, processing and paying claims quickly isn't magic - it's just what we do."

"Magician" starts with the Aflac Duck on stage attempting a horizontal levitation trick that quickly goes awry, startling his assistant as well as the live audience. He then turns to a standard card trick, making the playing cards he's holding disappear into thin air, leaving behind nothing but smoke. Unfortunately, the smoke eventually erupts into flames. Two audience members are shown looking quite confused with the magician Duck's poor performance thus far.

For his final act, the Aflac Duck tries the disappearing lady trick, yet when he opens the red glittering curtains, his assistant is still there. He tries to hide her, but the audience members can't deny that the Aflac Duck is "not a very good magician." The female audience member agrees, but mentions that the Aflac Duck paid her claim in just one day. Shocked, the male next to her shouts, "One day?" before shaking his head in awe and quietly asking himself, "How does he do it?" as the magic show comes to a close.

An integrated marketing campaign will support the television commercial starting in 2016, including a new magic-themed digital experience on the company's website. To see the Duck's latest tricks, fans can follow the Aflac Duck on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. Join the online conversation by using #magicianduck.

'Winter on Fire' Director Awarded by Ukrainian President

'Winter on Fire' Director Awarded by Ukrainian President

Evgeny Afineevsky Receives Medal of the Cross of Ivan Mazepa from Petro Poroshenko

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 30, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- American-Russian Business Council is pleased to announce that its member and director of the Netflix original documentary "Winter on Fire: Ukraine's Fight for Freedom," Evgeny Afineevsky, has been awarded the Medal of the Cross of Ivan Mazepa by Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko. Early this year Afineevsky already received Order of St. Prince Vladimir the Great from His Holiness, Filaret Patriarch of Kyiv & All Rus'-Ukraine. The film takes viewers behind the frontlines of the Ukrainian uprising in 2013-2014.

"It is symbolic that the award is given to a Russian who fought for the independence of Ukraine and the formation of Europe. On behalf of the Ukrainian people, I am grateful for the work you've done," said Poroshenko, noting the symbolism of the fact that it was the first such award he was presenting as President and it was given to an American of Russian descent.

The Cross of Ivan Mazepa honors citizens of Ukraine, foreign citizens or stateless persons for significant contribution to the revival of national, cultural, artistic, spiritual, architectural, military and historical heritage of Ukraine, for achievements in state, diplomatic, humanistic, scientific, educational and charitable activity.

"I am so honored to receive such an award on behalf of entire nation, for all hard labor that we've done," said Afineevsky. "For all the bruises, concussions, and injuries that I and my true team got during these days and nights of documenting history for the future generation, for the people all over the world, that one day they can learn, what had happened in the middle of peaceful country, in the middle of Europe."

In November 2013 Afineevsky flew to Kiev to observe Ukraine's fight for its identity and to capture the revolution on film. The result is the powerful and inspiring documentary of anti-government demonstrations that startled the world. Afineevsky previously directed 2 other documentaries and seven award winning feature films. He is a member of the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences and Directors Guild of America.

About "Winter on Fire: Ukraine's Fight for Freedom":

"Winter on Fire" is a documentary on the unrest in Ukraine during 2013 and 2014, as student demonstrations supporting European integration grew into a violent revolution calling for the resignation of President Viktor F. Yanukovich. "Winter on Fire" has had astonishing success at Venice International Film Festival and Telluride Film Festival, and won the People's Choice Documentary Award at the 2015 Toronto International Film Festival.

Los Angeles Times's Kenneth Turan wrote that "'Winter on Fire,' is imbued with a single and quite heartening spirit" and it is "an examination of what societal change looks like moment to moment." A.O. Scott (New York Times) called the movie "Powerful," adding "it tells a vivid tale of heroism and villainy." Mark Johnson from Awards Circuit noted it was "the best documentary I've seen this year." Tricia Olzewski (The Wrap) identified the film as "a testament to the human spirit."

"Winter on Fire" was named "The Best Movie of the Year" by Buro 24/7.

Breaking News: Rentrak Reports 2015 North American Box Office Crosses $11 Billion Mark for First Time in Movie History

- 2015 a Watershed Year at Movies as Records Are Broken at North American Box Office -

PORTLAND, Ore., Dec. 29, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Rentrak (NASDAQ: RENT), the leader in precisely measuring movies and TV everywhere, today announced the North American box office crossed the $11 billion benchmark for the year on Tuesday, December 29, 2015, making 2015 the highest-earning year at the North American box office in movie history.

A wide assortment of movies brought enthusiastic patrons to movie theaters across the U.S. throughout the year, giving the industry its biggest overall revenue in North American box office history, with a total of $11.1 billion projected for the calendar year through December 31. The previous record was set in 2013, which brought in $10.919 billion to the North American box office at year-end.

"Hollywood built the perfect box office beast in 2015, with one hit movie after the next, week after week, exceeding expectations with a regularity that made it look easy. With records falling like dominoes, the revenues just kept building as audiences flooded multiplexes in huge numbers," said Rentrak's Senior Media Analyst, Paul Dergarabedian. "A diverse and compelling selection of great titles, big and small, from every studio fueled an extraordinary level of interest by patrons who seemingly could not get enough of the big screen experience in 2015."

Many notable records fell this year, with virtually every month posting a new benchmark for North American box office revenue. The year's records included: the biggest January weekend gross with "American Sniper," the biggest February opening weekend with "Fifty Shades Of Grey," the biggest April opening weekend with "Furious 7," the best June opening weekend with "Jurassic World," the biggest September debut with "Hotel Transylvania 2," and December's "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" taking over the top spot for all-time opening weekend.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens Original Motion Picture Soundtrack From Oscar®-Winning Composer John Williams Debuts At No. 5 On The Billboard 200 Chart

Star Wars: The Force Awakens Original Motion Picture Soundtrack From Oscar®-Winning Composer John Williams Debuts At No. 5 On The Billboard 200 Chart







BURBANK, Calif., Dec. 29, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- The original motion picture soundtrack for the record-breaking Star Wars: The Force Awakens, featuring new score conducted and composed by five-time Academy Award®-winning composer John Williams, has entered the Billboard 200 chart at No. 5, scanning over 100,000 equivalent album units in its first week of release, according to Nielsen SoundScan. The last and only all-score soundtrack to debut in the Top 5 was Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace in 1999.

The album is No. 1 on Billboard's Soundtrack and Overall Classical Charts; at iTunes, peaked at No. 1 on the Soundtrack chart and No. 3 on the Overall Album chart; and at Amazon, the album is No. 1 on the Soundtrack chart and No. 2 on the Overall Digital Album chart. Additionally, the album has over 10.3M streams on Spotify.

From Lucasfilm and visionary director J.J. Abrams, Star Wars: The Force Awakens has broken numerous box office records, most recently becoming the fastest film to reach $1 billion globally, a feat it accomplished in 12 days with over $540 million domestically and $550 million internationally. It posted the biggest debut in industry history with $248 million domestically and $529 million globally in its first weekend, as well as the biggest second weekend of all time domestically with $149.2 million.

Oscar®-winning composer John Williams' ubiquitous Star Wars "Main Title" theme has become part of popular culture since it was first heard accompanying Star Wars: A New Hope in 1977. It is no surprise that Williams' orchestral compositions for Star Wars are among the most beloved and recognizable themes in cinematic history, from the classic "Main Title" theme introduced in Star Wars: A New Hope to the ominous "Imperial March" from Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back to the stirring "Duel of the Fates" from the prequel trilogy.

After creating the scores for all six of the previous Star Wars films, Williams returns to compose and conduct his signature sweeping music for The Force Awakens.

Williams, whose career spans over six decades, has won five Academy Awards® and he has scored some of the most popular and critically acclaimed films of all time, including Jaws, the Indiana Jones franchise, the first three Harry Potter films, E.T. The Extra Terrestrial, Lincoln, Schindler's List, and countless others.

The soundtrack for Star Wars: The Force Awakens is now available wherever music is sold (http://smarturl.it/swtfa).
