This coming Sunday we're going to have TygerWDR from YouTube on the show. He's coming on to talk about some of the issues he's had with YouTube pulling the audio from his videos due to the dispute with Warner Music Group and if last Sunday is any indication, I have a feeling we're gonna talk about everything and anything. He dropped by for an "impromptu" interview last week, and together with Deb from the Unsigned Musicians show we ended up chatting for over 3 hours, which has to be my record for an interview....lol
It must have been interesting, I can't say that I remember that as many folks hung out in chat as long as everyone did last Sunday, real nice crowd especially when you consider that I didn't even know Tyger was gonna drop by.
So when you consider that, and that he's promoted the show on his YouTube page, this week the "real" interview should be a ton of fun and I hope you'll join us. The show starts at 9 p.m. (eastern U.S.)
Let me drop a few links below....

Pete Berwick on Special Report last Sunday
Another week, another awesome interview.
Pete Berwick was an awesome guest on the show. He kept us in stitches talking about the music industry, when he was on Wife Swap (which will repeat on Feb. 20th on ABC) and his upcoming album.
Some of the things that we talked about go right to the heart of what we've spent the last couple of weeks talking about (and Deb even longer than that on her show Unsigned Musicians). Unless you are with a major label, good luck finding avenues to get your work out. The major labels practically have a monopoly on the over the air radio stations, there are only so many gigs you can play, and keep a band together living in tight quarters, ect. ect.
But......
We do have the internet!
What the majors hate, is the fact that they can't control that aspect of it, although they are trying to. JC Martin is having issues at Myspace again, YouTube is pulling videos down for copyright infringement because (you're gonna love this) of music playing on a radio in the background!
How screwed up is that?
I totally understand the need to protect copyrighted material, the copyright laws exist for a reason, and artists have every right to earn royalties on their work.
Herein lies the problem, unless you are a MAJOR success, you don't see a dime, and yet the licensing fees are paid. Where does the money go?
Why the overkill on enforcement that benefits so few?
Just a thought.
You can catch Pete Berwick on Myspace, and on his website peteberwick.net. We played a few of his songs on the show, including a special live performance of "Hello Hand" which was freaking hilarious and a hell of alot of fun to listen to. It really was an awesome show.
It is over 3 hours long though, you can follow the blogtalkradio.com link on this page, or my homepage at www.geocities.com/jstrapus and download the podcast. It'll be worth your while.

McSame and the Keating 5
As if I NEEDED another reason to vote the democratic ticket this year. We've all heard McCains lapdog (Palin) bashing Obama's ties with Ayers. Well, there is a big difference between a neighbor, and a co-conspirator.
