• PonoMusic Rumored to Have Acquired Rights to Beatles Catalogue; 'Revolver' And More May Be On PonoPlayer Soon Enough

    Just last week Music Times came up with a short list of relatively recent albums that we'd like to see get the full hi-res treatment at Pono, assuming that our vinyl copies of older records would do for the time being. Apparently not however, as rumors suggest CEO Neil Young and the team at PonoMusic have gotten ahold of the rights to The Beatles catalogue and are working to remaster it in full 192 kHz. The new version of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band is "going to blow your mind," reportedly.

  • Divers Have Found Both Black Boxes from AirAsia Flight 8501

    Investigators in charge of finding out what caused the demise of AirAsia Flight 8501 a little more than two weeks ago have just retrieved a major piece to the puzzle. On Monday, Jan. 12, divers recovered the flight data recorder from beneath a wing at the bottom of the Java Sea. They also have located the cockpit voice recorder about 105 feet below the water, buried beneath wreckage. Divers are reportedly working to free that second black box from beneath heavy wreckage.Flight 8501 left Surabaya for Singapore two Sundays ago only to find itself caught in horrible weather. The pilot had asked for permission to climb to a higher altitude and, by the time that permission was granted a few minutes later, all contact had already been lost with the craft. Indonesian officials have speculated that icing may have built up, causing the engine to stall out and leading to the plane plummeting into the sea.Everything at this point is sheer speculation, but two things are certain, though. There were six other planes flying in exactly the same storm as Flight 8501 and they made it safely to their destinations, so this flight should not have even been in the air. AirAsia is permitted to run the Surabaya-to-Singapore route four days a week, and Sunday is not one of those days, so if they had been following their legal guidelines this plane would never have been in the air, let alone lost.Investigators are hopeful that they will get answers about what happened from these boxes.

The lineup included names like the aforementioned Flume, Disclosure, Zedd, Skrillex, Phantogram, Porter Robinson live, Atmosphere, Justin Martin and many others.
