| Harmony House to Close For Good |

 After serving Michigan music consumers for 55 years, Harmony House will be closing it's doors for good. Company executives cite slipping sales, internet music piracy and the encroachment of big-block entertainment stores according to a report on local news. Twenty-two stores, employing over 200 people will be closed by year's end.

| Survey Results: You gonna ''Make it?'' |
|
 According to our last survey, "My Chances of Making It (however defined) are...", twenty percent of respondents think they'll "make it" in the music business within three to five years at the most. Unfortunately, those same people responded exactly the same way three to five years ago - which just goes to show you can never underestimate the power of denial.

| Net Radio Marked for Extinction |
|
 According to an article that appeared in the July 15th issue of Newsweek ("Labels to Net: Die Now" by Steven Levy), as of October 21, 2002 government imposed "performance fees" will put independent web-casting radio stations out of business. Heavily influenced by recording industry pressure, the new royalty fee recommended to The U.S. Copyright Office back in Feb. 2002 would make it virtually impossible for small, independent Net Radio stations to exist.
