How lazy can a record company get? Children between the ages of 9 and 16 are now being asked to draw up a new fifth member of the band Gorillaz. Maybe that's cheaper than rehiring the ad company that created up the original four so that they wouldn't have to hire actual artists. (Comments & Parodies)

In the tradition of recording heroic deeds in story and song, I wrote "The End Of The Curse Of Bambino", a parody of Gordon Lightfoot's folk-ballad "The Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald", to honor and celebrate The Boston Red Sox' World Series victory in 2004. My home-town's web-based online magazine, The Concord Magazine, is featuring that parody, on a page titled "Hope Springs Eternal: Another Baseball Season Begins", in their Spring 2006 issue.

Dec 1 Dean Gray
Dean Gray's amazing mashup album, American Album, which pays tribute to Green Day's album American Idiot, was shut down after being cease-and-desisted only 10 days after it went online. It was not being sold for profit; Gray asked only that those who enjoyed it support him by donating to any of a number of charities Green Day has been known to support. Certain mashup aficionados are, therefore, attempting to produce the same sort of media circus that surrounded DJ Dangermouse's now-famous Grey Album, declaring Dec. 13th, 2005, aptly enough, "Dean Gray Tuesday" (after Grey Tuesday). On that day, they hope a large number of sites will offer the album for download, and many will come to hear it, as a "display of the consumptive power of the mash-up and home remix community in the hopes of encouraging the labels, publishers and artists who are curious about the mash-up community to consider giving the high quality productions of "illegitimate" music a legitimate consideration as a promotional avenue for all music."

Clear Channel feels that the 8 station limit per market is too limiting. The 6% share of the market that satelitte radio now controls is pinching them to the point where they need 10 stations in a market area.

New Fionna Apple album to be released after all, with almost none of the leak trackes.

Clear Channel feels that the 8 station limit per market is too limiting. The 6% share of the market that satelitte radio now controls is pinching them to the point where they need 10 stations in a market area. In case you don't know who these clowns are, Clear Channel is the reason your local radio station plays the same ten songs over and over again. (Comments & Parodies)

New Fionna Apple album to be released after all, with almost none of the leak trackes.
