What Can We Learn From Beyonce's Bottom?
Last year, after that famous incident at the Super Bowl, I wrote an article titled, "What Can We Learn From Janet Jackson's Breast?". In that article I spoke about the sexual history of rock performance; how the sexual emphasis started with Elvis and then grew and grew as each generation pushed the envelope further and further, until finally Ms. Jackson opened the envelope: baring her breast on television during a day time, family entertainment event! While I did not take a position on the morality of her display, I did question this trend of mixing sex and music, and wondered when musicianship would again be admired.

Finding Music Distribution
It is important that you submit your CD to a distributor that distributes your kind of music. The person you send it to is not necessarily the person in charge of final decisions. From the time you start contacting them, it may take you six to eight months to get the actual product in their hands and get them to finally listen to it, before you find the right distributor. Once you finally get one, it can take an additional few months to get added to their database. Here are few words of advice on finding a distributor...

3 Kisses - Still Flying High
Recently, they released their first self-produced album, called Wings. The album is a pleasant combination of dreamy pop music with catchy guitar hooks and lyrics, with songs about destiny and hope and overcoming great obstacles successfully. The title track, "Wings," begins on a melancholy note-literally, because the music itself is the melancholy part-but the lyrics themselves are a mantra of redemption. "Take my breath away/shoot me high into the sky/Wash all my fears away/you make me want to fly-you give me wings," sings Tish, and it sounds so honest and true that you can't help but be happy for the narrator in the song.

Grayson Wray - Building A Temple To The Rock Gods
Artist like Grayson Wray are rare these days. Take away the glitter and glitz, the overproduction and overt emphasis on computer-generated sounds (he does sample but with care and brevity) and you have simple rock 'n' roll with essence. This is what artisans like Wray are made of. He is solid in his approach, diversified in his tastes, and above all, sensitive to an audience that demands quality and originality. He has all bases covered, just as a hand weaved blanket or a patchwork quilt that keeps you warm on cold winter night.

How To Thrill The Reviewer
You're in a band. You've gigged and learned thru blood and silence what works and what doesn't on stage. You've gagged your creative self working for the likes of Walmart and KFC, daring to earn enough filthy lucre to release a CD. You've just spent $2k on 1000 CDs with a 4 pg insert and a 1 color cover (all you could afford after mom's silverware went the way of eBay). It's shrink wrapped and bar coded to go to amazon.com, to sell at concerts, to gain airplay. But you need reviews. And you need ones good enough to quote. Here's how you thrill the reviewer.
