After years and years working with major labels from Atlantic to Epic records major labels, Tori Amos has decided to drop from major labels to release her next album under a small indie label instead.
Billboard reports:

Yep, more evidence that the industry is dying. All the pop megastars are dropping off to go indie.

I would say that Mr. McMahon is the true King of “Controversy”, like him or not. To prove to the world that Vince McMahon is not kidding when he says he wants to give away $1 million dollars to fans each week on RAW, him and the WWE company proves it to the Associated Press that this is no joke!
Vince speaks to the Associated Press about more details about this. It will be a sweepstakes kind of thing. Something similar to prizes you win from soda bottles where you look under the cap there is a code, and you have to type it up on the website to see if you win. WWE plans on doing that same thing.
In the beggining of RAW each week, a code will be on the screen that the viewers will receive, they will first have to register to WWE.com in order to take part of this so you can give them your phone number for the WWE company to contact you if you win the $1 million. My guess is that the code randomly draws and if they match your code, you win. Kind of like the contests you win from soda beverages.
This is McMahon’s way of saying “Thanks” to the fans who supported WWE over the years and his way of using this as a promotional tool for WWE to bring in new fans and bring the old ones back.

Go to WWE.com to take part:

Ummmm, no Mr. McMahon. This is not going to make the WWE popular again.
The way to make WWE popular and mainstream again is stop coming up with stupid storylines, bring back good wrestling, stop killing your own wrestlers with steroid use, stop making too much gimmicky charactersr in WWE, etc.
I’m not doing this contest ’cause I don’t want the WWE’s money. McMahon is an egomaniac in real life just like he is on TV.

Oh my, it’s very rare that Yoko loses to a lawsuit battle out of all the millions of lawsuits she files over the years, but yep, this is one of the ones she loses after filing it herself with her sons Julian and Sean.
The judge says “no” to winning the rights because he proves the song “Imagine” being used for the film that it’s in the favor of a “fair use” doctrine. Which basically means, if the song is in use for criticism and commentary, it is not an infrigement of copyright.

This is it, final song of the night, just a quick short one. Now I can relax from doing all this.
I recorded two songs from the second band Plumerai but I’m not gonna upload those in my own account, I will send the windows media files to the Plumerai band so they can upload them in their own account, I know they have a youtube. I’m a little worried of that band getting pissed at me for putting their music that’s not mine in my youtube account, so I will let them have the videos I recorded.
Hope you enjoyed my set at P4th over the weekend.

Another one, this one is “Brain Is Gone”.

Today the judge in court ordered Jack Jordan to stay away from hollywood actress Uma Thurman for five years. He also put Jordan on probation for 3 years.
TMZ reports:
http://www.tmz.com/2008/06/02/judge-to-uma-stalker-stay-away-for-five/
I still think Jack Jordan is an innocent man a 100%, he’s just a good guy who is in love with an actress, and the actress used her celebrity power to throw her own no. 1 fan in the court room.
But at least he is not getting any prison time, so that’s a good thing, he shouldn’t have to go to prison for just saying “words” from his mouth. He never hurt Uma physically in a violent way or nothing that serious. Jack Jordan is a harmless guy.
Jack apologized in court today but the actress wasn’t there in person. Maybe she will accept his apology and drop all charges on him, but I doubt it though, the stupid woman is too famous to have a change of heart like that knowing how she treated them Lancome people.

Here is another one, “Demons Have Taken Your Soul”, in the beggining of the song, a guy from the crowd came up and told me that a bat was flying around my head as I was on stage playing. Pretty cool since I was about ready to start a dark song.
I’ll put up the last two later this afternoon.
