From
AudioGraphics, "It's amazing
how much publicity one person can
get by simply saying "we might
have to shut down." But, weighing
the press coverage received by Pandora's
founder, Tim Westergren, regarding

UPDATE:
Chicago's
Promoter Ordinance
" Why the Event Promoters Ordinance
should be rejected"
Posted
by : JohnEShowbiz |

Law
Professor, Henry
H. Perritt, Jr has written a
fantastic white paper entitled,
"Why the Event Promoters Ordinace
Should be Rejected" in
response to the ridiculousness of
a proposed Chicago "Promoter
Ordinance", Among his findings?
Well for one he finds it to be "UNCONSTITUTIONAL"
on many levels. For those of you
in the dark, Jim DeRogatis had the
right take on it when he called
it "a law that will pretty
much drop a bomb on Chicago’s
independent music community, if
not nuke it entirely". From
our view, this is NOT an understatement.
The entire nation's creative community
is effected by this. In the city
that helped to foster gospel, blues,
soul, rnb, house, industrial, etc...
this is completely unaccecptable.
PBS/Chicago
ran a piece on the issue last
week, if you need to catch
up.

Mininova
Want
to tap into the power of Bit Torrent?
Mininova is a torrent that welcomes
original content creators and publishers
to upload your content and have it distributed
to the masses. The only catch is that
you have to apply and be approved. Good
luck and go get 'em.

Amie
St.
The folks at
Amie St. have struck on the golden idea
of selling indie music at prices that
are dictated by the marketplace. DRM FREE
of course. Highly Recommended for artist
and listener alike.
