TuneLab reports: Looks like the Internet Radio
Equality Act will not come up for a vote in Congress. After hearing testimony
from seven witnesses from independent record label owners, musicians and
webcasters, House Small Business Committee Chairwoman Nydia Velazquez stated,
"I really don't think Congress would be the best type of vehicle to resolve
this type of issue. July 15th is just around the corner and I hope the
two parties can come together and resolve this issue." [another example
of Congress creating a mess and then running away from it]-

PR reports: Thursday have returned to Victory
Records. They issued the following statement about the return and what
to expect: We have some exciting news!!! We know that everyone is wondering
what is next for us (New Label? New Record? Touring? Breaking up?). We're
proud to announce that we will be releasing a DVD/CD on our former label,
Victory Records. Surprise! A lot of the footage from this DVD was taken
during the time we spent on Victory and we thought it was appropriate to
release it with them. On a more personal note, many of you know that our
parting with Victory was bitter on both sides and we're taking this chance
to put that behind us. That label really helped us get to where we are
and we helped them to establish themselves as well... "coming full circle"
and "making amends" are some of the phrases that we could throw around
here but we think you get the picture already. Tony's passion for this
project and his continued support of the band after all these years has
helped to make this an easy decision.
The DVD/Album package will be in stores
October 30, 2007 and the label had this to say: The release, as of yet
untitled, will consist of a full length feature DVD and a full length Album.
The DVD will tell Thursday’s 10 year career story from the beginning to
the present. It will contain interviews with the band and their team, archived
show and behind the scenes footage spanning the band’s career to date and
hints to the band’s future. The DVD will feature enhanced menus, a “Making
of the song” and “The Making of Full Collapse” featurettes, the original
version of “How Long Is The Night” with visuals, an audio-enhanced photo
gallery, laminate gallery and more. The CD will contain three, brand new
and unreleased songs along with a collection of live tracks and b-sides[see

PR reports: The Secret Handshake aka BAPE
wearing, emo-tronic sounding, laptop extraordinaire Luis Dubuc will release
his debut full length One Full Year September 25th on Triple Crown Records.
One Full Year is the follow up to the March 2007 EP Summer Of '98 which
featured TSH remixes from Spank Rock, P.O.S., The Toxic Avenger and Dillinger
Escape Plan.
One Full Year is a diverse pop album that
sees The Secret Handshake experimenting with beats ranging from electro
to house to hip hop to r&b. Luis is a product of his influences, if
you asked him who he looks up to artistically he'd tell you Mouse on Mars,
Justice, Kanye West, John Legend, Kenna and Death Cab. Ever heard something
that sounds like all of those artists put together before? Didn't think
so...
U-MYX, an interactive music format that
lets users make personalized mixes of major artists recordings without
requiring any special knowledge or equipment, ran a promotion/contest with
The Secret Handshake around the EP and was absolutely floored by the fans'
reactions. Their 'Summer Of '98' remix contest outperformed almost all
of the other artists they've run these things with like Lily Allen, Imogen
Heap and Hard-Fi. Here's a link to it- Click

PR reports: Amoeba Music gave close to a thousand
fans a once in a lifetime opportunity to see Sir Paul McCartney perform
for free, Wednesday night in Hollywood. Devout fans camped out for days
to gain admittance into the store, coming from all over the United States
and as far as Japan. Finally around 8:00pm, their prayers were answered
as the ecstatic crowd entered the music-lover’s home to rousing cheers
and applause from the Amoeba staff inside. The priceless appearance marked
the rock icon’s first show in his nearly half a century career to take
place in a record store. And Sir Paul chose Amoeba Music, already home
to his life’s work, though now also home of a new milestone in his beyond
legendary life story.
For the hundreds of millions of fans unable
to be at Amoeba Music, in Hollywood, CA on Wednesday, June 27, 2007, they
will be able to share the experience as footage from the event will be
streamed on the Amoeba website (www.amoeba.com) and Sir Paul McCartney’s
website (www.paulmcartney.com) in the coming weeks. In addition, with every
purchase of the “Memory Almost Full” CD at Amoeba, customers will receive
a special limited edition 11x17 poster designed exclusively for the event
while supplies last.[see full story for more]- Click
