If a music industry executive claims I should agree with their agenda because it will make me more money, I put my hand on my wallet...and check it after they leave, just to make sure nothing's missing." She basically lays the blame for the current state of the music biz where it belongs -- at the feet of the idiots in charge. Gotta love it.

After completing a four-week stint of European dates with her band in July, DiFranco will play a short series of solo shows at U.S. folk festivals. More solo shows are scheduled for U.S. theaters in October and November. On Sept. 10, DiFranco releases her second live album, titled "So Much Shouting, So Much Laughter," on her own Righteous Babe label. The double-disc includes 23 songs culled from various concerts from 2000 to 2002. With the exception of two tracks, all of the songs on the new live disc were written after the release of DiFranco's first live album, 1997's "Living in Clip." "So Much Shouting, So Much Laughter" also includes three songs not available on any other albums, including "Self Evident," which DiFranco penned shortly after the Sept. 11 attacks. The singer-songwriter's last studio album, the two-disc set "Reveling/Reckoning," was released in April of 2001.
