Hello Eggshell Egoz Fans!!! So we just got done playing two shows at Caeser's Palace in Vegas, I
can't even begin to tell you how far we burned the wick and both ends, loved
it!! Rocked the house then had 2 dollar guinesses all night at this dingy little
dive across the street called o'sheas (whenever you're there go here, its a
party). We played with a bunch of really cool musicians and even did an
acoustic song in our room drinking tequila and recorded it with everyone just
partyin hard:)) So we have a special acoustic environmentalist (we'll call it
"Water") from vegas just for subscribing to our list on www.numberonemusic.com/eggshellegoz. Thank you so much for
all of the wonderful notes, I love every single one of them...

Major or Indie: New ceilings starting with Birdcall Productions

In this economic drought we have in the music biz only the imaginative and creative will survive. The big studios suggest that the specialty biz isn't so "special" anymore and even tougher times are ahead for indie labels. Well a bunch of boutique labels don't seem to be listening to the downfall, in fact a few are thriving.

The Birdcall Productions puts an old-new element back into the biz - LOVE. An upstart company, in the vein of the little engine that could, they bleed for music and work harder than any label I've seen in recent years. They throw big, rock hard, 4 level parties that go till the crack of dawn. Their artists, such as Cahn & Yang, wreak of originality and individualism. They put their feet in the grain and make sure to twist till its absorbed.

Paramount and Warner Bros. have already gobbled up their indie labels and shelved many artists, so why can't they make any money the way Birdcall is? Couple reasons.....

-Mass media audiences are falling as options increase.

-Major record labels and Music Publishers are at war, Indie Labels are their own publishers

-Indie Labels can make money on sub-platinum releases, Major record company costs are out of control

-They've forgotten how to use and find talent in a saturated market

-The money in sales is way down for majors but niche companies are thriving

-They’re distracted by squeezing their assets and cutting costs rather than finding and marketing new music.

Indie labels now have the option to use other revenue sources particularly live music, merchandise and licensing. They're able to give away music and find other means of revenue to exploit their company and artists. Digital music will be source of revenue used to market their real products. Users will be encouraged to download, stream and SHARE music.

Just as everything changes in the blink of an eye, so shall the downfall. An uprising has already shown its colors and begins in the new age. The Indie Label is alive and prospering under new direction...The Birdcall Productions.

Lindsey Lohan, Britney Spears, Paris Hilton. Who Cares!

Who's a coke head? Who's in porn? Who's on the border of child abuse? Who's doing anything worthwhile? The answer to the last question is easy - none of them. The paparazzi's have continued to fame these roadmarks for what? The amazing fascination we have with the talentless. Michael Vick is front page news for his involvement in the dogfighting ring (which is no doubt a horrific act and deserves a harsh punishment) but at least he was a phenomenal talent. His football career is a closing act now and you'll watch him disappear in a few years, so his punishment will be justified and his popularity won't grow.
What has Britney done? She rose to fame from the Mickey Mouse club (I wonder if she was lip singing then also) into a mega star for what? Lip singing! Now she's a white trash mom, who has been in and out of rehab, trying to resurrect a career that was never legitimate in the first place. What's her punishment? Front page news that is making her more popular by the day.
What about Lindsey? Also rose to fame from Disney and followed suit into rehab once she got in the spotlight. She has 2 DUI's and 2 Cocaine possession charges (which have since been dropped for some ridiculous reason), she could have killed someone in the process but continues to get front page news, and it’s an easy sell for free publicity. Now she's on the verge of releasing a new album and then turning her addictions into the new thing to do.
Paris? Not even worth mentioning
All in all we are the culprits behind the continued fame of people that contribute nothing to society, I understand the obsession with Brangelina, they at least have great movies and use there fame to shed light on issues relevant to the world. Keep them on the front page and the 3 princesses off, put bands like Eggshell Egoz, King's of Leon, and Rascal Flatts on the front, actors like Ryan Gosling or Rachel McAdams in the limelight. We can't help loving the tabloids, there's nothing else to do in the grocery line, so I guess this is a plea to the media- put talent back in our dysfunctional celebrities.
