Like Hawaiian stuff?
Oct. 16th, 2002 06:13 pmparticularly, Hawaiian music, new and old?
Well, there's this great site Hawaiian Jamz which is on the verge of closing up if they can't pay all the new fees :\ They have always paid the BMI, ASCAP, etc fees, but the new CARP law adds LOTS more suddenly, as the law isn't quite settled into being kind to internet radio. Instead it groups smaller hobbyists in with gigantic corporate businesses right now.
See if you like the programming (show number 55 is a great start!), and if so, consider sending them a dollar to help keep exposure out there.. I know I've bought dozens of CDs I would never have known about, if I hadn't heard the tunes there. That's what radio is.. exposure to music.. but the gov't still hasn't figured that out in this new law yet.
See their Ohana page for more info.. take care! :>
