July 15th: The Day Internet Music Dies!
On July 15th, public radio station's streaming music could start to go dark. Like Don McLean proffered, it could really be the day the music died. Public Radio stations around the country are joining together to encourage our listeners to email their Congress People in support of HR 2060, the Internet Equality Act.
Links to give you More Information and a way to make your voice heard:
Tell Them Public Matters
Radio and Internet Newsletter
Save Net Radio
This Act would ensure that public radio can continue to do what we do best--bring you a wide variety of music that other radio stations just won't play...and to bring to you on line without cost.
The fees the Copy Right Royalty Board wants to impose on public radio will force many of us, including possibly WTMD, to turn our streams off. Please contact your Congressperson Today. Here is a list of Cosponsors--if your Congress person isn't on this list, please email them and ask to help save Internet Music by Co-sponsoring this bill
It's a big issue and our friends at KCRW have produced a very informative podcast to help us all understand what could happen. The Wall Street Journal has also printed an informative story on the situation. Please click on the tags below to see our other posts on Internet Music.

Shakin' and Bacon at the Inner Harbor
If you're a fan of DINER, the wonderful Barry Levinson home grown coming of age film, you might want to make your way down to the Inner Harbor's West Shore Park on July 15th. That's when one of the stars of the film, Kevin Bacon, kicks off a musical celebration of the 25th anniversary of DINER, along with his brother Michael. The BACON BROTHERS are part of a Netflix sponsored concert series where actor/musicians who were in the BIG EASY (Dennis Quaid) and ARMAGEDDON (Bruce Willis) perform in the cities the films were shot. The show starts at 7pm, so you can get a degree closer to Kevin. Have you ever played THAT game, BTW?
Michael and Kevin have been quietly making solid, heartfelt roots music-based records for ten years. Hope you get a chance to celebrate them, and a slice a Baltimore movie heritage.

From the Horse's Mouth
Baltimore musicians Hanna Badalova and Jared Fischer—vocalist and lead guitarist for the playful post-punk act Mr. Moccasin—are making their television debuts tonight! That is, their voices are, as animated clay horses in the first episode of Creature Comforts.
This is the American version of the British show by Aardman Animations, the same folks who created Wallace & Gromit. The show airs tonight at 8 PM Eastern on CBS. If you'd like a sneak peak at what the Mr. Moccasin members look and sound like as stop-motion animals, you can check out minutes :30-:15 of this clip:
