Celebrity Interview:

Carlo Santos
Al ran into a nice web site off of one of the many listeners on our Frappr map. His name is Carlo Santos, and his music really captured my attention. Al contacted Carlos and they sat down for a conversation about his art, his influences and how he developed the many different styles he uses. And of course, the gear he uses to put it all together.

Answer To Last Week's Trivia Question:
Q: The MP3 format has literally revolutionized the music business. When was it invented?

A: Here's the progression and the history. In 1987 the Fraunhofer Institute in Germany began research code-named EUREKA project EU147, Digital Audio Broadcasting. In April 1989 Fraunhofer received a German patent for MP3. In 1992 Fraunhofer's audio coding algorithm was integrated into the MPEG-1 standard. On November 26, 1996 a United States patent was issued for MP3.

Congratulations to Tim Bush, this week's winner of a copy of Guitar And Drum Trainer, courtesy of Ryan Smith over at GuitarAndDrumTrainer.com. Honorable mention also goes out to George Leite.

Answer To Last Week's Trivia Question:
Q: What was the first song to achieve diamond download status? (That's one million digital downloads.)

A: Gwen Stefani's Hollaback Girl. By November 2005, it had sold over one million downloads.

Dennis McFall was the first one with the correct answer, as well as a very cleverly Photoshopped picture that has Gwen whispering into Al's ear. However, Dennis has already won a copy of Guitar and Drum Trainer, so this week's prize goes to the second person to answer correctly, and that's Trevor Brooks! Congratulations Trevor!

Also coming in on the heels of Trevor with the right answer was Andy Bullock and Tony Butterworth, from the Homemade Hit Show.

See you next week!
