• Snocap and CD Baby are ending their short-lived partnership. CD Baby artists will be able to work directly with Snocap outside of their normal relationship with CD Baby. Snocap will waive the initial $30 annual fee for those who make the switch. It appears there were too many cooks in this particular kitchen. Wrote Snocap CEO Rusty Rueff in an email that went out Friday, "These experiences have shown us that SNOCAP works best when used directly by artists without the extra support of CD Baby."

• Two promotion bits of news at Billboard.biz: LiveNation has a deal with the Seneca Indians to book events at the Seneca Events Center and the Bear's Den Showroom at the Seneca Niagara Casino Hotel in Niagara Falls; and AEG has acquired an interest in Grit Rock Rodeo, operator of the Wrangler ProRodeo Tour and the World's Toughest Rodeo.

• The state of Connecticut began allowing ticket brokers and individuals to resell tickets for whatever amount they desire.

• The Country Music Association has teamed up with the National Business Association and Vanderbilt Universal Medical Center in Nashville to offer comprehensive health care to CMA members. (Press release)

• Of all the commentary on the new Radiohead album, the best comes from Jupiter's David Card. On the "Most.Revolutionary.Concept.Ever" commentary compiled by the New York Times' The Lede blog, Card wrote, "Most of them are pretty naive." That goes for Pitchfork, The Guardian and Lefsetz, and I agree -- though short-sighted or overexcited may be better than naive. In the end, this Radiohead event is mostly symbolic. If 15 to 20 major artists follow Radiohead's lead in the next 18 months, I may change my mind. (Sorry, Charlatans, you don't count.) An additional note: Those people calling it revolutionary must forget, or did not know, that Magnatune has had a similar model for years. Its artists have cut out the middleman, let people pay according to how they value the music and have made a decent living a country mile or two from mainstream attention. (David Card)

• Getty Images, which acquired Pump Audio in June, has launched its Soundtrack online music licensing service. Soundtrack will make available over 20,000 tracks (from independent artists) for use in broadcast, film production and advertising. (Press release, via Hypebot)

• Somewhat related to the music business: A U.K. regulator has ruled that music service provider Music Choice is the legal owner of and has exclusive rights to the bullseye logo that is also associated with retail giant Target. The article points out the U.S.-based target has international branding problems beyond Europe. Coles, Australia's second-largest retailer, is also called target and has virtually the same logo.
