Two sides to the coin?

the Coming Of The Gayngstas is upon us! Apparently these Homo-Hoppers (i'm not making these words up i swear) are uniting under the rainbow flag to tour the world for the rights of Gay Thug Rappers everywhere. All heteros....Protect YA Neck!!!!

This absolutely HAS to be a joke. But an uncomfortably funny one. Like The Nigger Family on Chappelle Show uncomfortable....well not THAT uncomfortable.

Playboy Year End Best Of Voting....

Go here and vote for your favorites. For world my vote is for Gyptian!!!!

Royalty Rates To Go Down For Songwriters & Music Publishers

This is from many other sources everywhere. Basically, as soon as artist's find a way to make more money, some government organization finds a way to TAKE more money from said artists.

The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) is demanding that a panel of copyright judges lower the rate of royalties given to music publishers and songwriters.

The RIAA believes that the current rate of royalties is "out of touch with reality" and feels it's time for the government to take action. The government hasn't adjusted the royalty rate since 1981 forcing music publishers, songwriters and labels to make their own deal. The RIAA cites that the rate changes are needed because the music industry has changed in the past 25 years.

"While record companies and music publishers were able to agree on royalty rates during that 25-year period, the assumptions on which those decisions were based have changed beyond recognition," the RIAA said in a statement.

According to the RIAA, though piracy runs rampant in the music industry, music publishers have seen a hike in royalties due to ringtones sales.

"Mechanical royalties currently are out of whack with historical and international rates," RIAA executive VP and general counsel Steven Marks explained. "We hope the judges will restore the proper balance by reducing the rate and moving to a more flexible percentage rate structure so that record companies can continue to create the sound recordings that drive revenues for music publishers."

Brit-Cubus?

I recently was introduced to a Glasgow band named Biffy Clyro. Their singer has a resemblance to Brandon Boyd of Incubus. He also screams his ass off other times. (What happened Brandon....where'd you leave your balls?)
Anyways, I have only given the album Infinity Land a chance as of yet but so far, so good.
