Adam Smith boat party…
A fine time was had by all, including my lovely betrothed. I seem to remember seeing at least one guy with eyeliner and several looking like they had fallen out of a band bus. It almost brought a tear to my eye.

CMU reports on the Sandi Thom fake “underground” row.
...RCA’s Craig Logan has been moved to speak out following media speculation that the figures for those viewing Sandi Thom’s much reported webcast concerts were exaggerated, and suggestions that the singer’s fame was in fact manufactured by a big PR campaign.
Speaking to Music Week, Logan said he wanted to “correct some of the myths and assertions in the media with some simple, honest facts.”
He commented: “The only guerrilla marketing tactics employed were when the flyer was sent out to over one million email addresses, which is hardly revolutionary. Fact: Sandi tried the old way of building a community and it didn’t quite work for her. The new way has. Sandi Thom is a great artist, which is why RCA signed her.”
Its not shocking that the music biz has finally awakened to the fact that so much can be done. It does amuse me that he thinks sending about 1 million is “hardly revolutionary.” I wonder how many truly unsigned bands can afford the fees to send out that much spam?
