While I've been going full speed ahead with the show, unfortunately I can't say the same about the blog. As I've been actively promoting this blog during my show obviously I haven't forgotten about it.
Just not enough hours in the day.
I will get back to actively blogging very soon.

Indie Spotlight Live Returned to the Airwaves Last Sunday
Really had fun at the show this week.
If I had to define the last couple of shows, the words meandering, lost, poorly planned would come to mind.
Fortunately this week we were able to get back on track.
We had the honor of having Australian musician Lisa J. Aston in our chatroom this week. Phenomenal musician, and one classy lady. We had a candid discussion about the music industry, it's interesting how different things are outside of the U.S. with the industry, and sadly, many things are the same.
As Lisa pointed out, when she was tied to a label she really wasn't going anywhere, when she went Indie, the sky was the limit.
Here is a link to her myspace page check out her music, you won't be disappointed, that I promise you.
We also talked about the case in Scotland about the clerk who was almost fined by a performance rights agency for copyright infringement because they were singing a song to them self while working.
I'm not kidding, the article is here and the word overkill comes to mind. I agree that songwriters should be paid for commercial uses of their music, but at the same time I think that common sense should prevail.
Special thanks to my friend Deb from the Unsigned Musicians show for sending me that article, as well as one of Lisa J. Aston's songs to play on the show.
Also, as I mentioned on the show, I am running out of room on my blogtv account for videos so over the next couple of days I will be moving them to my youtube channel, and deleting them off of my blogtv page to make room so I can record more videos.
We're back in action, every Sunday night at 9 p.m. (eastern U.S. time) and hope you folks will join us!
p.s. I almost forgot, happy 2nd birthday to the Unsigned Musicians show, on the internet that's almost an eternity ;)
