The Copyright Royalty Board (CRB) has recently released a revised fee schedule for internet radio. Left unchanged, these rates will end internet radio, period. The RIAA has effectively convinced this federal committee to establish rates that make online radio a non-viable business.

I can’t believe that my latest review (over on the right) is George Michael! I guess I’m secure in my manhood enough to go through with it.

The guy may be a bit of a freak, but hey, I listen to a lot of music done by freaks, so he’s no different there. The reality is the guy was damn talented. He’s got an excellent voice, maybe one of the best voices in the biz and he was a pretty good writer too. Unlike many pop stars George Michael did actually write his music.

I also like the fact that for a pop star he includes a lot of brass and funk in his music, similar to Prince, another freak that I dig.

I would highly recommend you pick up his greatest hits album, “Ladies & Gentlemen”. It’s good and fun to play at parties.
