Future discs will be programmed by blues legend B Crow's set was hit-heavy, with popular choices from the likes of Carole King, Elton John, Bob Dylan, Squeeze and Crowded House MacKinnon filled his stores with listening posts; both they and his CDs are primarily designed to expose people to music they don't know King and country icon Johnny Cash Participating musicians are asked to pick music that matters to them, then explain their choices in the liner notes " Hear Music began in 1990 as a mail-order catalogue and then a chain of three retail stores on the West Coast "When I'm warming up for a show, I do a little bit of this," Jagger said about James Brown's "Papa's Got a Brand New Bag (Part 1) But knowing Crow had selected "Don't Think Twice, It's Alright" persuaded Dylan to allow it, he said " Bennett said he took advantage of the project to keep alive the work of American masters like Cole Porter, Duke Ellington and George and Ira Gershwin Jagger, who chose Sade's "By Your Side," sniffed to MacKinnon: "I did notice that I was the only one who picked anything remotely new "You're going to walk out of here with five CDs that you've never heard of and don't know you love Discs programmed by Charles and Williams soon followed Each Stones member had four choices, which were heavy on vintage soul and blues The CDs are smartly packaged with details about the songs, and colorful artist quotes about why the songs connected with them " MacKinnon was contacted by executives at Starbucks in 1999; he now programs music that is played in the stores and sells his CDs there For one thing, few appealed to people over age 30, once a reviled demographic but now a growing segment of the music-buying public MacKinnon must seek permission to use the songs chosen by the artists, which isn't always easy " Crow, in choosing Elton John's "Someone Saved My Life Tonight," said: "I always listen to music and enjoy it for what it is, but I also listen to it for what I can learn, to better my game Williams, who kept editing her choices up to the last minute, was big on country weepers "Charlie Watts said, `I can't believe there's no Chuck Berry track on it The series was launched last year with what would seem an unlikely commercial choice: cellist Yo-Yo Ma "The whole idea is to flip the record-shopping experience on its head," he said "It needs to feel like the way you feel when you're sitting in a living room and a friend says, `I know you like Billie Holiday, but you have to listen to this,'" he said While 50 Cent might not be threatened, the Stones disc has sold a respectable 56,000 copies, and Crow's CD has moved 49,000 The sales champ so far? Yo-Yo Ma, with 78,000 copies Hear Music, a company bankrolled by the Starbucks coffee chain, has introduced a line of Artist's Choice CDs He took a risk by selling his company to the chain; despite losing control, he still runs Hear Music and said there's been little creative interference There also was little opportunity for discovering something new With the Artist's Choice series, Hear Music is looking to expand its reach The process, predictably, brought forth internal rivalries, said Don MacKinnon, Hear Music founder and now vice president of music and entertainment for Starbucks The discs first go on sale at Starbucks, and after a few days are made available to other retail outlets Where would Mick (Jagger) and Keith (Richards) be without Chuck Berry?'" MacKinnon recalled MacKinnon and colleagues compiled their CD mixes that recalled the way they were turned on to new music as youngsters Tony Bennett and Ray Charles chose mostly classics B Music stores, at the time, were rarely inviting, he said Now imagine getting a CD mix compiled by Sheryl Crow, Lucinda Williams or even the Rolling Stones â€â€? and you don't even have to know them Artists Pick Their Favorite on CD Series Jul 3, 1:19 PM EST The music industry may not like it, but most fans have shared music with friends by making compilations â€â€? to expose them to something new, to provide a party soundtrack or even to seduce com Sun Capital Partners: http://www When Best Buy decided to cut its losses, it cited a decline in CD sales and a slowdown in shopping mall traffic nationwide 04, or 4 9 percent, to $43 " The transaction included all of Musicland's operating assets, except for a distribution center in Franklin, Ind "We are energized by Sun Capital's record of restoring companies to profitability within its first year of ownership," said Connie Fuhrman, who remains president of Musicland "We're excited to build on Musicland's long-standing vendor relationships, loyal customer base and technological infrastructure Richfield-based Best Buy paid nearly $700 million for Minnetonka-based Musicland two years ago, but the group failed to meet Best Buy's expectations, especially in consumer electronics sales com Best Buy shares rose , that Best Buy will continue to operate Since it began in 1995, it has invested in more than 50 companies with combined sales of more than $7 billion, including retail and catalog companies Wickes Furniture, Bruegger's Bagels, Miles Kimball, The Mattress Firm and Nationwide Mattress and Furniture Warehouse suncappart 80 said Monday it has shed its troubled Musicland Group, turning it over to Sun Capital Partners, a Florida-based private investment company Best Buy Sheds Troubled Musicland Group Jun 16, 10:06 AM EST Electronics retailer Best Buy Co â€â€?â€â€?â€â€?
