The comic won't be up till some time tonight due to finals and that whole bit. Kathy and I both found out this morning that we got accepted to Texas A&M so we're excited. We'll be up there for some transfer conference thing May 21-22, and then we'll come back, and then move up to College Station on the 26th.
Also, the internet radio industry is under threat of extinction due to the Copyright Royalty Board that will hike up performance copyright fees some 400%. This goes into effect May 15, and we need to do everything that we can to stop this. This new item will bankrupt most every internet radio broadcasting station, and I listen to internet radio at least 2 hours every day. This even includes the iTunes radio stations.
Internet radio is also a primary means by which up-and-coming musicians can distribute their music. Without internet radio, a vast number of bands will never be heard, and disappear before they even get a chance. Click on either of the banners on our homepage and contact our representatives; we can't let this happen. Just recently the Internet Radio Equality Act was introduced by Jay Inslee (D-WA) and Donald Manzulla (R-IL) that will combat the new outrageous fees, and it needs your help. Please keep internet radio alive!
