As part of Mi2N's continuing efforts to make its services available to more artists/musicians, the company will begin offering the purchase of its Mi2N press release distribution services in the form of gift certificates for the upcoming holiday season. The decision to do so was quite logical, partially due to Mi2N's popularity as well as the current economic climate.

"People love giving gifts to their friends and family for the holidays, but during economically challenging times, they tend to choose gifts that are more practical than fun. By giving an Mi2N PR Gift Certificate, you can do both. We offer several PR distribution packages to choose from, so you can support your favorite artist and without breaking the bank," said Eric de Fontenay, Mi2N's Founder and CEO.

Ideal for artists and labels, as well as supporting promoters and agencies, the Mi2N Music PR service provides guaranteed press release placements through a network of newswires, eGroups, blog communities, boards and forums, as well as MP3 and video distribution. In addition to guaranteed PR placement, the packages provide exposure through the Mi2N website, and multiple other sources with target based distribution. Through Mi2N's penetration in the music industry as well as its diverse and substantial delivery network, your giftee's PR announcement will be seen by prospective fans, promoters, labels - everyone who's anyone in the music industry.

"You can be the best artist/musician in the world, but if you aren't able to get news out about your music, upcoming releases, or performances to music industry professionals, it really doesn't matter. Waiting to be discovered based on talent alone is like trying to find a needle in a haystack," de Fontenay continued. "There are lots of talented artists who know that visibility and exposure are critical to their success. It's what separates them from the rest. They have a better chance at being successful, not necessarily because they are more talented, but because they know that publicity is a need, not a luxury, and they make the investments accordingly to acquire as much exposure as possible. We're proud to play a role in making that happen."

If the person you love is a talented musician, then you probably know how hard they work on making their music the best it can be. This holiday season, you can help them to tell the world about it by giving them something they'll thank you for: a seasonal gift certificate for the Mi2N Music PR marketing service.

Mi2N gift certificates will be available for purchase beginning December 1st. Get yours at http://www.Mi2N.com/gift.php3.

Sarah McLachan: Possession (Live, 1995)

nobody@vox.com(Strive2Be) — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 08:18:41 -0800

Sarah McLachlan: Possession (Live)

Listen as the wind blows
From across the Great Divide
Voices trapped in yearning
Memories trapped in time
The night is my companion
And solitude my guide
Would I stand forever here
And not be satisfied

And I would be the one to hold you down
Kiss you so hard
I'll take your breath away
And after I wipe away the tears
Just close your eyes dear

Through this world I stumble
So many times betrayed
Trying to find an honest word to find
The truth enslaved
You speak to me in riddles
And you speak to me in rhymes
My body aches to breathe your breath
Your words keep me alive

And I would be the one to hold you down
Kiss you so hard
I'll take your breath away
And after I wipe away the tears
Just close your eyes dear

Into this night I wander
It's morning that I dread
Another day of knowing of
The path I fear to tread
Into the sea of waking dreams
I follow without pride
'Cause nothing stands between us here
And I won't be denied

And I would be the one to hold you down
Kiss you so hard
I'll take your breath away
And after I wipe away the tears
Just close your eyes dear
I'll hold you down, kiss you so hard
I'll take your breath away
And after I wipe away the tears
Just close your eyes

Don Henley: The End of the Innocence (Live 1989)

nobody@vox.com(Strive2Be) — Thu, 03 Dec 2009 04:16:21 -0800

Don Henley: The End of The Innocence (Live 1989)

We all remember Don Henley as the lead singer of The Eagles. He also had a relationship with Stevie Nicks for a few years. A lot of his songs were about her afterwards, as were her songs being about him. They stayed friends.

The "Tired old man that we elected king" is a reference to US president Ronald Reagan. There are a lot of political overtones in the song, as Henley strongly opposed Reagan's agenda.

MusicDish presents: Stephen Michael Apatow - Nessun Dorma

nobody@vox.com(MusicDish) — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 15:04:54 -0800

Not only is Stephen Michael Apatow the President, Founder, and Director of Research and Development of the Humanitarian Resource Institute, he is now able to credit himself as an accomplished recording artist. He is promoting his most recent track, "Nessun Dorma (None Shall Sleep)" - an aria from the Puccini opera, Turnadot. Apatow does a splendid job of conveying the emotions of Puccini's original composition and considering this piece is not an easy one to sing, his version is something to be heard. Apatow has certainly been blessed with a powerful tenor voice and "Nessun Dorma" is surely the beginning of an outlet through which this humanitarian will inspire his listeners.

Listen to the track on Fairtilizer!

Check out "Nessun Dorma" and soundtracks from the Country Goes Global album compilation through AirPlay Direct:

PR: Surrogates

nobody@vox.com(cinemediapromo) — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 08:16:09 -0800

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

LAKESHORE RECORDS TO RELEASE ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK FOR SURROGATES

Soundtrack Features Original Music by Richard Marvin

(November 10, 2009- Los Angeles, CA) – Lakeshore Records will release the original soundtrack for SURROGATES, available digitally (iTunes and Amazon Digital) on November 10th and in stores on November 24, 2009. Richard Marvin (U-571, TV’s Three Rivers and Without a Trace) composed the score.

SURROGATES marks the fourth collaboration between director Jonathan Mostow and composer Richard Marvin – the first three were U-571, Flight of Black Angel, and Breakdown. Marvin was a top studio pianist playing for composers including Maurice Jarre, Jerry Goldsmith, and John Williams. In the 1980s, he worked with Mike Post who gave Marvin the opportunity to compose for The A-Team and Hardcastle & McCormick. Marvin’s television work also includes Six Feet Under, In Treatment, Without A Trace, and the new series Three Rivers.

Touchstone Pictures presents SURROGATES, based on the comic book The Surrogates by Robert Venditti, a gripping action thriller by Jonathan Mostow (Terminator 3: Rise of the Machine, Breakdown) which also stars Radha Mitchell, Rosamund Pike, Boris Kodjoe, James Francis Ginty, Michael Cudlitz, James Cromwell, and Ving Rhames.

People are living their lives remotely from the safety of their own homes via robotic surrogate—sexy, physically perfect mechanical representations of themselves. It’s an ideal world where crime, pain, fear and consequences don’t exist. When the first murder in years jolts this utopia, FBI Agent Greer (Bruce Willis) discovers a vast conspiracy behind the surrogate phenomenon and must abandon his own surrogate, risking his life to unravel the mystery.

SURROGATES in theaters now. SURROGATES original soundtrack on Lakeshore Records will be available via iTunes and Amazon Digital on November 10, 2009 and in stores on November 24, 2009.

Rock Band Band To Play 90 Hours Straight For Charity

nobody@vox.com(MusicDish) — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 09:04:15 -0800

Url: http://www.therockathon.com/

ST. LOUIS (Nov. 25, 2009) – The sun will have rotated on its axis more than three times, nearly 1.4 million babies will have been born worldwide and most Americans will have almost worked a full week by the time 16 Rock Band aficionados will have played Rock Band for 90 hours straight in their quest to become the Guinness World Record-Holder (Gamer’s Edition) for the Longest Relay Rock Band Concert – all while raising money for Child’s Play charity.

The event, known as The Rock-A-Thon powered by Energizer® Advanced Lithium, began on Friday, Nov. 27 at 12:05 a.m., when the first set of Rock Band™ players take the stage at the Meridian in Houston, Texas for the 90-hour marathon. Players include several professional gamers such as Robert Paz, a.k.a Prodigy X, Ciji “StaySlayer” Thorton and internet sensation and Guitar Hero II World Series of Video Games Champion Freddie Wong.

“We are excited to have some of the most renowned video gamers playing alongside us as we try to set the Guinness World Record for Longest Relay Rock Band concert,” said Paul Slawinski, President and Co-Founder of The Rock-A-Thon. “We hope people come out to watch the action and to help raise money for Child’s Play.”

For every fan that attends the epic 90-hour charity concert, Energizer, The Rock-A-Thon’s presenting sponsor, will donate $1 to Child’s Play, up to $5,000. Child’s Play is a community-based charity grown and nurtured from the game culture and industry. The charity donates toys, video games, books and cash for sick kids in children’s hospitals across North America.

“Now more than ever, charities are in need assistance, so we are thrilled to power The Rock-A-Thon and help raise money for Child’s Play,” said Jim Olsen, Vice President of Marketing, North America for Energizer. “Our Energizer® Advanced Lithium batteries will allow for hours and hours of uninterrupted game play, helping The Rock-A-Thon rockers raise money and reach their record.”

Energizer® Advanced Lithium batteries provide 20 additional hours* of continuous playing time in wireless gaming accessories. In addition to offering long-lasting power, Energizer® Advanced Lithium has a shelf life of 10 years and weighs 33 percent less than an ordinary alkaline battery. The entire 90-hour performance will be streamed live at www.therockathon.com.

Going for the Record
The Rock-A-Thon members will be setting the first world record for the Longest Relay Rock Band concert. The event will kick-off with four of the 16 Rock-A-Thon members playing a seven-song set. After the opening set, the group will play in 50-song shifts of four people – one vocalist, one guitarist, one bassist, one drummer – plus two additional people for The Beatles™: Rock Band™ songs (which require three-part harmony in addition to the instruments). All songs will be played on the “expert setting.” After the full 90 hours is complete, The Rock-A-Thon members will have played more than 1,050 songs.

The event will be recorded and documented for submission to Twin Galaxies, the World’s official scorekeepers of video gaming records, according to Guinness World Records.

In addition to the donation made by Energizer, The Rock-A-Thon will be selling official “The Rock-A-Thon” t-shirts for $25 and raffle tickets for prizes like a year’s worth of Energizer® Advanced Lithium batteries. All proceeds will benefit Child’s Play. The event is free and open to the public.
