 Has Commercial Radio Finally Gone Limp?
The ad to the left appeared in the October issue of Blender magazine on page 52. It depicts a huge Viagra™ pill as a pictograph representing the various percentages of artists who are likely to get your parents hot (The Righteous Brothers beating out The Foo Fighters, Audioslave and The Killers by a landslide). The text at the bottom of the ad reads: 'Tons of Artists. Zillions of Songs. And oh yeah, it's free. Radio. Brought to you by America's 13,000 local radio stations that play artists like these every day.' This ad begs the question: In an era of "pod-safe" independent music, has commercial radio finally gone limp?

Note: according to Stay Free Daily blog, Stuart Elliott's "In Advertising" column (NYTimes.com Tuesday, June 7, 2005) reported that the ad campaign was paid for by The National Association of Broadcasters ($28 million!) and created by DeVito/Verdi from New York.

 Silent Aggression plays first home town show
silentaggression writes After a long haul of finding the right band members and writing all original material, Silent Aggression is finally playing a home town show. We've had a great response to some of the out of area shows, so we are expecting to see double or triple the draw of people that we are accustomed to. We have added a light show that should put this event over the top. Click "read more" below.

 White Stripes interview on NPR's ''Fresh Air''
If you're still interested in the continuing adventures of Jack & Meg and The White Stripes , you should listen to Terry Gross' extensive interview on "Fresh Air" at the NPR website. Jack & Meg talk about their new record, their humble beginnings, and much more (45 minutes in all). Includes some song samples (including a cool duet with Loretta Lynne) and the admission that, in the beginning, the 'attitude in Detroit' didn't seem conducive to success in the music business. Go figure. Click "read more" for the the link.

 Paganstock 2005
My name is Scott, and I am one of the event coordinators for our fundraising music festival, Paganstock. This is our first year for this event, and we hope to make it a huge success, and if it is we will make this an annual event.

We are a non-profit organization (Kalamazoo Pagan Pride) with proceeds going to our organization and another charity TBA. We do not require anyone participating in this event to be of Pagan nature, we just ask that whoever participates is of open mind.

The event will take place June 24th-27th, 2005, in Bangor, MI. We are looking for every genre from folk to rock, acoustic to world beat. If you believe your music will lend itself to our event, we want to hear from you!
