Spotify, one of the biggest music streaming services in the world, is branching into video and offering subscribers 12 new series focused on original, exclusive performances. While some of the series will focus on interviews with different artists in a variety of venues around the world, others will include live performances from the Spotify office (think NPR's Tiny Desk series), according to Variety. Once the data is collected and examined, Spotify will bring a popular artist to that city, with the goal of the series to highlight the different taste of music listeners across the United States.

By Mia Shanley and Jonathan Weber STOCKHOLM (Reuters) – Music streaming service Spotify has seen a faster pace of growth since the launch in June last year of rival Apple Music, a top executive said on Monday. "It's great that Apple is in the game. It is hard to build an industry on your own," Jonathan Forster, a vice president and one of its first employees, told Reuters in an interview.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Carrie Underwood, Chris Stapleton and Cam are tied with three nominations each for the 2016 CMT Music Awards.

Winter Majesty by Alex Noriega

White Pocket 2016 Tour
Private Workshops
Processing Instruction I know spring is in full swing here in the northern hemisphere, but winter is coming for those in the southern hemisphere (and in Westeros). So here’s one more image from a night snow camping at Mount Rainier with my buddy Mike Bollino in February. I shot some pretty dramatic sunrise light at this spot the following morning, but I ended up preferring this high-key blue and white rendition from the afternoon we arrived at camp. I feel it conveys the purity of the post-snowstorm scene up there better than warm colors.
