QUICK HITS: Musicians on Spotify; iHeartRadio Theater pics

Video: NME Magazine took a video camera to young musicians in the U.K. to ask them, bluntly, whether Spotify is evil. (Watch it here.) The answers were (perhaps politely) all variations on the theme of “No.” Musicians (at least, the ones edited in) expressed favor for the exposure and marketing opportunities of being on the Spotify platform.

iHeartRadio Theater pics: Four years after opening its New York City theater, iHeartRadio is expanding its venue business to Los Angeles. Using a remodeled TV studio (formerly the stage for The Tonight Show with Jay Leno), iHeart will host an opening night featuring Katy Perry, as has been well publicized. Billboard got inside the place, still showing signs of construction, and snapped some photos. (See them here.) There’s also some Q&A with Clear Channel exec Tom Poleman.
