Today is THE LAST day for Weedshare tune purchases
Unfortunately Weedshare.com has decided to suspend operations April 9, 2007. This was in our opinion the most fantastic digital file distribution system EVER and saying we're disappointed to see it go is the understatement of the year.
It was a fantastic solution to the illegal file sharing that hurts the Artist because music consumers actually were PAID financial incentive to LEGALLY share the file and create new sales for the band(s).
Weedshare provided all newbies a FREE $5.00 to purchase their first Weed files with - GRATIS! There was really NO reason for the fan to NOT buy 5 tunes since the bill was covered by Weed. Interested? You have less than 24 hours to visit the "Download" section of our site to take advantage of this for the last time!
Turns out the new Microsoft Operating System Vista, and Windows Media Player 11, have crippled the Weedhare file purchase process. Although a Weed file plays previews fine, and plays tunes already purchased prior just fine, the process of purchasing new Weed files in WMP 11 creates a problem for which there is no cure... It views the meta data Weed needs to add to the track as if it were a "Tampered" file and refuses to play!
With the inevitible migration to the new OS and player, and with Microsofts blatent back-turning on their partners who utilized the "Play For Sure" DRM technology in favor for their own proprietary scheme (first surprise was how the new Zune didn't do Weed) the eminent demise of the best thing for the digital music sales ever had begun.
This comes about at a time that big labels are trying to monopolize and force-feed your ears what THEY want to cram in them. The new RIAA and CRB arm twisting on capital hill have small webcasters faced with a new retroactive fee structure that will be putting many online radio stations into bankruptcy.
Visit www.ChemistrySetRecords.com often in the following weeks for news on what the next big thing for Indie music.
Click the "News" link to see how you can fight the unfair practices benefiting only the largest five Labels and squeezing out the fantastic talent who will have a hell of a lot harder time being discovered by new potential fans.
Apathy is not where it's at! Act now!

Happy "Early Easter" present from Iran
Everything from the stock market to mortgage interest rates were affected by news of the release of the British captives today by Iran touted as being an early "Easter Present".
It's been a couple of years since The Nuclear Labrats, an obscure experimental rock band who write top-rock (topical rock tunes), wrote "Turbin Bomb" but it is as fresh as the day written.
Says J. J. LaBrat, "when we wrote it we thought it was like news at 11:00 and would quickly fade into obscurity" but it turns out to have had years of staying power.
"Nothing about our stuff is for the faint of heart, it's FAR from politically correct" explains J. J. "we don't make the news, we just rock it!" Because of this their true identities are concealed behind rat masks.
In a nutshell the song is anti-nuke and instructs those willing to perform suicide bombings to turn them on themselves instead. It conveys to the listener a feeling of fear throughout regarding Irans continued need for uranium.
I think there is a hint to a conspiracy theory therein in that unrest in the Middle East is benefiting a secret agenda and will not be remedied any time soon.
Since the song has a psychedelic sound and over-use of processing effects I originally thought this should go in the sound-clips section but it could easily fit in Politics & Society, News & Notes, or Music section.
