1 What does it say about the music industry when 2011’s highest-earning musician didn’t release any new music? Dr. Dre tops Forbes’ annual list of music industry earners with an income of $110 million, beating out industry heavyweights like Bieber and Macca. But fans are still waiting for Detox – Dre’s highly anticipated follow up to 2001 and The Chronic. So how’d Dre do it? By selling a ton of headphones.
2 Throughout the year Jim and Greg have paid homage to the musical greats we’ve lost. There were some big names in 2012 – Whitney Houston, Etta James, Levon Helm, Donna Summer, and Davy Jones just to name a few. With the year coming to a close, Jim and Greg take a moment to recognize some artists they didn’t get to: DC’s own Godfather of Go-go Chuck Brown, and Eastern music ambassador Ravi Shankar. They play Brown’s “Bustin’ Loose” and Shankar’s “Dhun (Fast Teental)” from the sitar master’s 1967 Monterey Pop Festival performance in appreciation.
