of Follow Up - Oops!</b></div>
<br>
Last month's newsletter alluded to an article by JT about the
importance of follow-up. We learned a good lesson about the
importance of checking our links. Sorry we linked to another
article. We'll send the correct link next month, but wanted to leave
space this month for:

with Derek Sivers of CDBaby</b></div>
<br>
Derek is an old friend of JT's and one of few in the industry
whose heart is really behind independent musicians. EM did an
interview with Derek last month and we feel that everyone should have
a look at what he had to say:
<br>
<br>
When it comes to the independent music scene, few people are more
knowledgeable than Derek Sivers (see Fig. 1). He began his music
career as a guitarist and later founded CD Baby (cdbaby.com), which
quickly became one of the most high-profile independent music sites
on the Web. The site offers musicians both an inexpensive way to sell
their music (physical CDs and digital downloads) and a large
community to market it to. <a href="http://emusician.com/interviews/

JT and The Guild auditioned many candidates for drummer and bassist
this month at DVE Studio. Now renamed The News Collisions, with Mike
Forrester and Alex Athans joining Scott and Sarah, the rest of the
month was spent rehearsing, arranging, developing image, clothing and
stage presence with Jordan in the studio.<br>

JT continues mixing the long anticipated album for the Guy Mendilow
Band.

<span class="small">Mamapalooza is a national organization to
promoted women who are mothers and who ROCK. Mamapalooza Music
Conference hit NYC this month. DBE producer Jordan Tishler spoke on
the role of the modern producer and how to choose one, to how to work
with a team of music professional as an independent artist (DII - Do
It Indepedently), and how to use modern technology to advance your
career. It was a fun, well attended conference, and as usual, JT met
lots of great folk; both musicians and industry insiders. See you at

<span class="small">The New Collisions is the name taken by the new
indie rock band, previously with the working name The Guild. Last
month DBE signed a development deal with the husband and wife team of
Scott and Sarah Guild. The band is now working with JT to refine
their songs, image, stage presence, and ultimately recordings. It's
a long road to the top... but these guys are on their way. Having
auditioned and added Mike Forrester on drums and Alex Athans on bass
rehearsals, bookings, photos and a website are under way. Think
indie rock with touches of glam and punk. Think "urgent vocals of
Pat Benatar and P.J. Harvey with the huge, driving sound of modern
bands like Arcade Fire and The Killers. " More to come...</span>

<!-- Review Goes Here -->
The Radio Knights and singer Matt Dahan send their latest EP
"Happen". These are local boys from the south shore of Boston, and
they recorded and produced this effort themselves (I assume at home,
though they didn't indicate). This record sounds good. Well
recorded and well mixed; nice guitars, good harmonies. Good job!
You get extra points for making an EP up front. After listening to
your stuff on disc and on myspace, I'm wondering why the myspace mp3
actually sound better than the disc? Remastered maybe?
<br>
<br>
Occasionally the drums could use some work, occasionally the lead
vocals could be stronger. However, my lingering qualms stem from
confusion over who these guys are (as a band). They called
themselves "power-pop" on their entry form. The EP cover has dark
colors (blacks and browns) with yellow images of the band, the city,
and other hard to identify stuff; the band is also hard to discern
but the one visible guy looks like a Wolverine wannabe. So I'm
already confused. The cover, and even their name, suggests 70s scag
rockers, the form makes me anticipate bubble-gum, huh? The music is
straight up pop-rock; a bit too smooth for me; makes me think of The
Gin Blossoms or 3 Doors Down. Of course, the piano evokes Billy Joel
who they mention as an influence. Again, it's really well executed –
it's a great listen – just a bit background-y for me. A lot of "I
really love you" songs and "we've gotta get outa here" songs. Is
there any need for those after Bruce? These guys are really
talented, now let's push the envelope a bit, shall we?
<br>
<br>
Check them out yourselves at <a href="http://www.myspace.com/
theradioknights">myspace.com/theradioknights</a>. (BTW, every band
should have their own website, not just a myspace page).
