| DannyD Kicks Godsmack's Butt! |

 Here's an interesting little tidbit for you. A solo artist from
Clarkston has made the top 100 charts for the USA at MP3.com.
DannyD, a pop vocalist from Clarkston Michigan, holds the #57 slot on
the
top 100 chart for the United States on MP3.com as of
the writing of this article. A sizable accomplishment considering that he
bested such notables as Weezer, Linkin Park, Sugar Ray and Madonna.
It has been MP3c's policy of late to offer songs by top national artists such
as Nelly, Sheryl Crow and the aforementioned. What started
as a site dedicated to the unsigned artist has undergone a metamorphosis.
The site is now dominated by RIAA's poster children.
It is becoming increasingly difficult for unsigned artists to compete on
MP3c, and that makes this accomplishment all the more amazing.
Visit
DannyD on MP3.com. Download the tune "Didn't See Me" if
you want to help out the local talent.

| CD Review: Full - Part of Religion EP |
|
 If you'd rather pound tent-spikes into your ears with a five-pound sledge-hammer than listen to another grindcore, power-pop or Creed-clone indie band that wants to wow you into submission, don't pick up that hammer just yet. With the release of Full's four-song "Part of Religion" promotional EP, there may yet be hope that experimentation isn't a lost art.

 Being the nosey bastards that we are we'd like your opinion on
something.
What percentage of the music that you buy is from unsigned artists?
It's no secret that the profits of major labels are dropping off. The
record companies are attributing this to piracy, while some research shows that the worst file sharing offenders
may actually buy more music than they did previously. This begs the
question; "If it's not piracy, could it be that people are looking for
something different"?
The poll is not about a guilt trip, we'd like some honest answers here.

| New site and Yahoo group for N.L.P Bands |
|
|
Being an unsigned band can be tough enough in a metropolitan area of Michigan
such as Detroit or Grand Rapids. Imagine how difficult it can be living in
a rural area of the state where gigs are few and far between and the
nearest musician is a half hour drive away.
If you have a band based in the N.L.P. (Northern Lower
Peninsula), there
are two new internet destinations you should know about.

 Hey, I've updated the HOT GEAR section (under the Main Menu in the upper left of your screen) which features a few products from the Musician's Friend online catalog. I didn't really like the lame descriptions for the gear so I've re-written them for those with my droll sensibility. So even if you're flat broke and have no plans to purchase gear online, you might still find it an amusing read. Happy window shopping! - Mitch

 Stricken with performance anxiety and writer's block, Editor Mitch Phillips decides to rediscover music on his own terms - again. In two short stories, "The Special Bubble" and "Panic and The Performance" he finds more than one excuse to pick up his instruments again.
When you feel obligated (even if the obligation is self-imposed) to report on local music and the CD's start piling up around you all you can think about is escape. This isn't a very healthy attitude...'

| Life: After The Movie - Storm Records |
|
 Though it's been a long time coming, the "Life: After The Movie" compilation from Storm Records of Royal Oak finally made it's way out of Mitch's CD player and into his computer for a review.
'I really had no idea what a wealth of great punk bands we had in the Detroit area until I heard this disc. I felt like I'd just crawled out from beneath my own sheltered rock (my office) to discover punk for the very first time.'
