You'd be looking at the vast majority of major label music out there-- and Matt Bianco would be part of it too, as they are on a major. Universal did their own mass "layoff" a couple years ago. It sucks, and as long as the industry continues to use trading and piracy as an excuse instead of looking at changing their business paradigms to fit the freaking modern age, it will continue to suck, because the artists will continue to bear the brunt, as they always have.

Austin Powers was indeed played in Indonesia, even on some TV stations. But I have to admit that I watch TV rarely, just some scientific programs such Discovery and National Geographic. Not many movies because, as I said before, I usually can guess the story quite easily. However, I still watch some classic movies, especially after one TV station here has a commercial break free movie program. The movies that I watch are: The Sound of Music, Dr. Zhivago, Ten Commandments, Born Free, Sophie's Choice, The Dirty Dozen, Missing, Anthony and Cleopatra, Airport, and some other movies that I can't remember the title because they are less impressing for me. It's really fun to watch 3-hour more long movies without any commercial break and no need to borrow anything at home. The next movie is Seven Years in Tibet. I've watched this three times but not the "commercial free" and "intact" version. Have a nice day! Desianto F. W. Friends. Fun. Try the all-new Yahoo!

Back in 2000 and 2001, I participated in organizing a couple of large music showcases that drew representatives from a couple of the major labels and several of the minors. At the time, I was between TV gigs and was doing time at an Office Depot store working with a lot of people in their teens and early 20s. These folks were wearing out Napster at the time, so I talked to them about why they liked file sharing - the most frequent answer by far was convenience and being able to find the song they wanted in the mix they wanted. I asked if they would be willing to pay to download a guaranteed good copy from a record company, and they all answered yes, they would be willing to pay a dollar or two per song if they were guaranteed a good compression and a good, fast server. I talked to each of the record company representatives about this - pointing out that they could save a lot of money on distrubution costs, pressing costs, promotional costs, etc. if they made music available for download. It would also be easier for people to find the unusual mixes, and the company would probably be able to sell more of those. Each of the company representatives dismissed the idea as unworkable - most were very condescending. At that time, I knew we were in for a serious realignment of the music industry. We are reaching a cost point. One can now easily build a home studio that is better than the professional recording studios of the 70s and 80s. Most of the expense of an album, after building the studio, would be for paying sidemen (and an engineer, perhaps). I fully expect a major artist soon to come to the end of his/her record contract and announce that all future releases will be by download only. Promotional CDs could be burned for radio stations, but a lot of promotion could be done by internet, too. A number of artists (Norah Jones, for instance) are making downloads of live concerts available for free download as a promotion. I see this as only the beginning. Even our friends at Cheap Channel could get into this. They already own something like 1200 radio stations in the US plus Cheap Channel Entertainment, which books concert tours for major artists. Why not simply add a big server band to their offices in San Antonio, give their concert artists a web site, and sell downloads of their music. They could promote the downloads at the concerts and on their radio stations. Cheap Channel could even charge the artist an administration fee and take care of all of the rights. Hmmmm - this is sounding like a good idea - maybe I need to call my old employer Lowery Mays. But the point of all of this is - how do we get Basis to release her new solo album for internet download?

Yeah, agreed. I use the hell out of iTunes now. I just need to remember to back up my albums! The wonder of Napster was the spontenaity (yeah, I can spell) of it-- you would be able to talk to someone about a song, get the urge to hear it, and then go download. This then would lead to more downloading. iTunes does okay but they are missing a lot of stuff at the same time. > by internet, too.

You know, I was wondering actually about that in regards to the Marks. Mark Fisher did all the composing for MB while Mark Reilly did all the lyrics, right? (I imagine though that both Basia and Mark #1 still had contributions to the music itself too to some small extent. Just like I can't direct the art as well without an editor's input and opinon..love the spirit of collaboration!) - --Leslie Tired of spam? Yahoo!
