I'm already on the mailing lists for many of the major PR reps (you know who you are).

Clown Magazine Ste. 3, Rosden House 372, Old Street, London, EC1V 9AU UK office@clownmagazine.co.uk www.clownmagazine.co.uk We welcome all creative material from music, films and games.

The Deli www.thedelimagazine.com Daily updated website covering local music scenes (thus far: NYC, LA, Nashville, Chicago, SF, Portland, Austin, Philly and New England). We also have a quarterly publication exclusively focused on the NYC independent music scene, meaning the bands and the artists that live in the Big Apple. The primary goal of The Deli is to expose local musical artists that have not yet reached a level of international fame: this is why all of our printed articles feature up and coming bands and singer-songwriters (while our websites also cover the most popular breakout bands).

Music Composition Lessons and Services Kevin Ure music@uremusic.com www.uremusic.com Provides online music composition lessons to students that need the education but don't want to pay the large university bills. MusicLibraryReport.com www.musiclibraryreport.com This list discusses issues related to composing music for film and TV but certainly not limited to only those topics. The concern of many is the state of affairs regarding music libraries, i.e. companies that will negotiate with a composer to represent their music on the world stage. While there are many reputable companies, they seem to be the exception rather than the rule. Our intent is to report on as many as we can, both the good and the bad! These are based on other composer’s experiences, in hopes of educating others when they are confronted with making a decision about a particular company. Your anonymous comments and experiences will help others and ultimately all. We are not interested in slandering anyone or any company, just your experiences and honest opinions. You do not need to use your real name or e-mail address when leaving a comment but we do reserve the right to edit or remove any comment we feel has gone beyond the bounds of civility.
