Chicks Split? |
pr-inside reports: Country trio the DIXIE

February (07) because sisters MARTIE MAGUIRE and EMILY ROBISON want to
concentrate on being great mothers.

and wrung out" after spending the past three years defending themselves
from comments singer NATALIE MAINES made onstage in London in 2003 - and
they're desperate for a long-term break.[see full story for more]-

Sales Fine |

Onto Caesar |
tinfoilmusic.net reports: Hot on last weeks
news of the RIAA members seeking to reduce artist royalties, record labels
are starting to squeeze artists in other ways, or so the NYTimes reports.
In the article, NYT cites a recent release from R&B star Akon that
sold 283,000 discs in its No. 2 debut. In years past, a release such as
this would have sold half a million copies easily, but this recent performance
is a sign of the new direction the industry is taking.
Along with the 283,000 discs sold, iTunes
sold 244,000 songs in the first week and ringtones generated another 269,000
sales. Because the record companies make the lions share of cash on CD
sales, they are feeling the crunch and are passing the crunch downstream
by hitting the artist up for less royalties and cuts of merch sales. Merch
sales are a sweet peach and many bands make their living on them, along
with the revenue from the tour (which has been cut into already as well)
so it's going to hurt.- Click

punkbands reports: Baby Rock Records will
be releasing a cd entitled "Rockabye Baby! Lullaby Renditions of The Ramones"
in early 07. Here's the description and tracklist of the disk:
Hey daddy-os. Hey mommy-os too. Does your
child need to be sedated? Should mamas boy or girl be too busy howling
at the moon, let them pulsate to this backbeat. The Ramones sang about
brats, babysitters, and believing in miracles. Is there any doubt the band
didnt want to grow up? If you want a happy family, this album will provide
pleasant dreams.[see full story for more]- Click
