pMusic supervisors are a bit like curators. They listen to their client's needs and select the perfect music to be placed in that movie/TV show/ad/video game. Especially in the case of films, good music supervisors can be as important to the overall success of the finished product as the director and producers. They might not get as much attention, but really, what would, say, the opening scene from emTrainspotting/em be without emLust for Life/em, or the final scene of emLost in Translation/em be without emJust Like Honey/em? Music is another character in many a project, and the music supervisor is in charge of making that happen./p pLest you think that music supervisors just get to listen to records looking for the perfect track all day, be assured that music supervisors have a VERY tough job. They are often in the middle of intense negotiations, usually under extremely tight deadlines./p pIn other words, this job is fun for a music lover, but definitely not all fun and games.

Over the past week or so, you might have heard something or other about a certain wildly successful and highly paid sitcom star who has turned his attention to a new style of "winning" - the kind of winning that involves delivering incoherent video streams and raining unemployment down upon hundreds of people who make far less money than you do. Anyone who has spent much time in the music industry is familiar with this kind of winning, because musicians have been known to embrace this style as well from time to time - and winning like this is just one thing you can do to lose your music career.

Yes, yes, contracts and all of that - they're not very rock and roll, but they are very necessary. Far too often, musicians shove off on their career  journeys without a good understanding of the many, many legal pitfalls that could await them. They also enter into business arrangements with companies that DO have a legal team behind them, leaving their rights in jeopardy. That is where entertainment lawyers - or music industry lawyers, if you will - come into the picture. A good lawyer can be an incredible asset to a musician or music related business. They can be absolutely instrumental on protecting musician rights and ensuring that musicians are fairly compensated for their work (and they can do the same for music companies as well). Could combining law and music hit the right note for you? Check out this career profile and find out.

For the first time since May 2nd at Richmond Kyle Busch won a 2009 Sprint Cup race. More that that for the first time in his career Kyle showed a little grace, a little humility, and dare this word be spoken but a little maturity.
