The record industry folks behind the hits could have saved Platinum Blue Music Intelligence some time and analyses by revealing the one ingredient essential to all commercial radio hits today - payola. It comes in a cluster of forms, but is easy to identify. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 27 May 2007 12:59:12 -0700 (PDT) From: "Xenu's Sister" Subject: Re: Baglady - --- Andrew McMichael wrote: > Can I ask what the relevance is to Happy on that cheesy video for the song > 'Baglady'? > > She's not the baglady, I can't see her in the background and I can't hear > her vocals. > > Maybe the lead singer is her brother?

We originally recorded it from MTV and my husband Chris (who worked with Imogene Coca, the woman who plays the bag lady, during his sound engineer days) digitised it from the ancient videotape and put it on YouTube. I uploaded it to a directory on one of my accounts in case anyone (not specifically ecophiles) wanted to download it. The song and video don't have anything to do with Happy (except, and I didn't know this until Bob posted, an ectophile worked on it, which is a pretty darn cool thing to find out, and makes it mean even more to us.)

I transferred all my RhodeShows files to StartLogic, which hosts wretchawry.com, then changed the DNS files so that rhodeshows.com points there. It should be up and running again. I'm very happy about that. My Dreamhost account is due to expire on June 2 and I knew I wouldn't have the money to re-up for another year, so that's why I thought that account was going to be closed down. Some might remember that last year, I originally got the account for $10.00 (for a year, set-up fee waived and domain name, rhodesongs.com which I haven't found a use for yet, included!) because they were having a special anniversary sale. Such a deal! I pointed my domain suspended-in-gaffa.com to that account, and there things stood. I hated to see it go away, but I got a hell of a lot of use out of it for very little cost for that one year, so who was I to whine? After much gnashing of teeth, I recently found out two important things I didn't know before. 1) there's a 60-day grace period so it wouldn't have shut down on that particular day anyway, and 2) I can (and did) switch to a monthly payment of $9.95, which is doable (as opposed to the $119.00 flat fee they wanted for a year's payment). Bottom line, suspended-in-gaffa.com is NOT going down. YAY! As long as I can keep up a much easier monthly payment, it'll stay up. The only account I have that would make me REALLY panic if it were threatened is my StartLogic account, where wretchawry.com, happyrhodes.org, and now rhodeshows.com is hosted. It's *not* threatened, it's all paid up for the next year, but if I were ever in dire straits and didn't have the money to keep it up, I'd be crying, begging on my knees for help from Happy fans. http://wretchawry.com/happy/samples has been so important for getting Happy's music to people that it's far beyond being important just for my own use. It serves a very important purpose and it would be a sad day indeed if it ever were to disappear. I hope I never will ask for help, but if I need it, I will come to you good people.
