Can Film & TV Kickstart Your Music Career
If you are a avid TV watcher or film fan, you have noticed that less and
less known artists have their songs featured, or are dominating the new
TV shows or movies. Instead, TV and film music supervisors have been
aggressively looking for and have been actively using independent
artists who release their own CDs. It may sound a bit odd in a music
industry which is dominated by major labels and a seemingly invisible
group of people in the media, who try to keep you from succeeding, but
its true. Over the last few years, TV and film music supervisors have
taken a number of independent artists I am working with, for shows such
as, HBO’s Sex In The City and The Soprano’s, NBC’s new show, The
Immortal and Fox’s new show, The Street. In fact, both The Immortal and
The Street are using Gerard McMann’s (a.k.a. GTomMac) music for the
theme songs.

Your Good Name Tarnished
What To Do On The Internet by Joan Stewart, The Publicity Hound
Ever feel paranoid that people are talking about you behind your back?

But if they're talking about you behind your back on the Internet, much
of the world can be privy to what your critics are saying. Rumors and
unfair accusations could cost you not only profits and sales, but your
good name and your sterling reputation. That's why I go to
http://www.Google.com and search for my own name and "The Publicity
Hound" regularly to see what comes up. I do the same thing at
www.Blogger.com, http://BlogSearchEngine.com and www.Technorati.com to
see what the bloggers are saying about me. So far, so good.. But if you
did this same exercise right now and found that a blogger was slinging
mud your way, what would you do?

Casino Buys Head of Grateful Dead's Head
Internet Casino Buys Head of Grateful Dead's Head - GoldenPalace.com
Buys Four of Jerry Garcia's Toilets BELVEDERE-TIBURON, CA -- Internet
casino GoldenPalace.com has touched a nation of hippies and Deadheads,
as well as a worthy charity, with their latest eBay purchase of four
toilets formerly owned by the legendary Jerry Garcia. The casino paid
just over $5000 to buy the toilets from Henry Koltys, who bought
Garcia's 7500-sq-ft house at auction in 1997. He decided that he would
sell the items in the house, with the money going to charity. Proceeds
from the auction will go to The Sophia Foundation, and Kids-First
Custody and Parenting Software.
