Usher Fans Find Truth at Best Buy

Usher Fans Find Truth at Best Buy; Exclusive Three-DVD Set Features Five Hours of Content and Never-before-Seen Footage from Usher's Smash Truth Tour

MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 29, 2005--Grammy-Award winning artist and international superstar Usher is teaming with Best Buy to offer his Truth Tour DVD set to fans exclusively at Best Buy through February 2006. Truth Tour can be pre-ordered starting today at
www.BestBuy.com and will be available for purchase in-store and online November 8. The three-DVD set features five hours of content including spectacular live footage from Usher's Truth Tour performance in his home town of Atlanta, an in-depth view of the life of Usher from the early years to his evolution into a living legend and savvy businessman, and a behind-the-scenes look at the superstar's charitable work in the community.

Usher's commitment to provide his fans a pre-eminent entertainment experience matches Best Buy's leadership in providing consumers with the best in entertainment.

"Fans want electrifying content that allows them to relive the emotional experience they get from live events." said Gary Arnold, Best Buy's senior vice president of entertainment. "Usher is the single most electrifying entertainer of his generation and Truth Tour is another example of Best Buy's commitment to use technology to deliver fans the best seat in the house from the convenience of their homes."

Truth Tour marks the third exclusive DVD release in as many holiday seasons for Best Buy. In 2003, Best Buy released Four Flicks, a four-DVD set from the Rolling Stones that was certified 19-times platinum and is the number one selling concert (long form) DVD in U.S. history. Last year's Best Buy's exclusive Dream Ticket four-DVD set from Elton John went 14-times platinum to become his best-selling DVD of his career to date.

The high-energy Truth Tour will follow the record-setting trend set by its predecessors. Signature excitement and sound (5.1 DTS) come standard, but unlike Four Flicks and Dream Ticket, Usher's Truth Tour was shot with 16 high-definition cameras and directed by acclaimed music video helmer, Hamish Hamilton. The DVD also includes state-of-the-art interactive features from MX Entertainment that gives the viewer more choice and more control of their DVD concert experience by featuring five "Select-A-Cam" songs that offer Usher close-ups, intimate dancer shots, and concert visuals from chart-topping hits including "Burn," "U Remind Me" and "My Way". The DVD set also includes the world premiere of a new MX DVD technology that lets viewers direct their own version of "Caught Up" using their remote control.

The Best Buy exclusive continues the long-term working relationship the retailer has maintained with the superstar since it sponsored Janet Jackson's Velvet Rope Tour in 1998, for which Usher was the opening act.

"I'm excited about partnering with Best Buy to release my Truth Tour DVD," says Usher. "Their commitment to providing the best in home entertainment is exactly what I was looking for when I decided to make this DVD. I put a lot of hard work into the Truth Tour -- from the intense choreography, to the stage production, wardrobe, and just having fun on the road and being able to touch the lives of many individuals -- the DVD set will give my fans an up close and personal experience into my life. "

Truth Tour also comes on the heels of Usher's 2004 LP Confessions, which has scanned fifteen million copies worldwide to date. The three-DVD set's attractive price point of $24.99 is sure to satisfy Usher's ever-expanding fan base. Usher's career has spanned more than a decade and he is on his way to becoming the top-selling R&B artists of all time. His raw blend of rock, pop, sex appeal, flash and classic soul/blues makes him a fascinating musical entity. As a singer, dancer, and actor, he is a triple threat as an artist. And as producer, business man and philanthropist, he is a triple threat as a brand. Usher lives his life in high definition. Now his fans can live it with him.

Musician Rallies Fans Via P2P Networks, Performs at Anti-War Rally in Nation's Capital

Musician Rallies Fans Via P2P Networks, Performs at Anti-War Rally in Nation's Capital
 
ATLANTA, Sept. 26 /PRNewswire/ -- Scooter Scudieri's appearance at Sunday's "End the War on Iraq" rally on the mall in Washington, D.C. can be attributed to two dynamics: the singer-songwriter-activist's passionate opposition to the war, and the powerful capabilities of the Internet to spread his music and his message.
 
"I use my music as a message of peace and the Internet as a means to connect us all," Scudieri (http://www.firstrockstar.com/) commented. And the West Virginia-based artist has had remarkable success doing so. Considered the most searched for independent rock musician on the Internet's peer-to-peer (P2P) file-sharing networks, Scudieri has built a sizable fan base in a relatively short period of time. No doubt, he'll please many of his fans when he performs "America," his haunting ballad, at the Sylvan Theater on the grounds of the Washington Monument at 1:30 p.m. on Sunday. The gathering is part of a three-day event coordinated by United for Peace and Justice (http://www.unitedforpeace.org/), a broad-based coalition of anti-war groups across the U.S.
 
"Without question, P2P file-sharing has had an extraordinary impact raising Scooter's profile. Scooter releases all of his music via P2P and has broken several records for Internet searches -- currently 50 million and counting -- as well as downloads," commented Les Ottolenghi, president of INTENT MediaWorks (http://www.intentmediaworks.com/). The Atlanta-based company distributes Scudieri's music and videos, as well as other legitimate entertainment content, over major open P2P networks. INTENT launched "America" for free download (http://www.offthepeer.com/shared/Scooter_Scudieri-America-OTP.wma) over those networks on Thursday, Sept. 22.
 
"Scooter is the first full-service musician of the twenty-first century. We're proud to be associated with his impressive rise, and we look forward to our projects with this innovative artist," Ottolenghi concluded.
 
About INTENT MediaWorks: Headquartered in Atlanta, Ga., INTENT MediaWorks (IMW) is the world's largest distributor of authorized P2P download entertainment media. IMW's technologies enable content owners to provide their works safely, securely and directly to consumers over major P2P file-sharing networks and through major download sites on the Web. With 250 million P2P users acquiring content each month, IMW offers marketers the single most effective channel for reaching the world's digital media consumers. More information at http://www.intentmediaworks.com/ .
 
About Scooter Scudieri: Widely acknowledged as the most searched for independent rock musician on P2P networks, Scooter Scudieri is redefining music production, promotion and distribution via the Internet. The Shepherdstown, West Va.-based artist is a Songwriters Hall of Fame Award winner and has appeared with such renowned artists as The Dave Matthews Band, Nils Lofgren, Jewel and others. More information at http://www.firstrockstar.com/ .
 
About United for Peace and Justice: Established in 2002, New York-based United for Peace and Justice (UFPJ) is a coalition of more than 1,300 local and national groups throughout the U.S. who have joined together to oppose what it terms the government's policy of "permanent warfare and empire-building." The organization has supported hundreds of events focusing on social, economic and political issues and has co-sponsored the country's two largest demonstrations against the Iraq war to date.

J.D. Hall Award Winning Actor, Director, Writer, Musician Creates a New Music Genre With His New CD Entitled 'Tawheed'

J.D. Hall Award Winning Actor, Director, Writer, Musician Creates a New Music Genre With His New CD Entitled 'Tawheed'

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 22 /PRNewswire/ -- J.D. Hall known as "the voice" because of his many voice-overs in films, television and documentaries, has turned his focus back to music.

A devout Muslim, J.D. has merged his musical creativity with his religious beliefs by writing thirteen songs for his new CD, "Tawheed" (pronounced Taw-heed)(The Oneness of God). In so doing, he has created a new music genre that he calls "monotheistic praise songs." The sub-title of the CD is Monotheistic Praise Songs Drawn From the Islamic, Jewish and Christian Tradition. "I think that best describes how I view these song. The music has a contemporary feel while the lyrics reflect my spiritual evolution in Islam."

Initially "Tawheed" will be released at CD Baby.com. The projected release date is October 14, 2005 during Ramadan.

As an actor J.D. has assayed roles on stage in "Romeo & Juliet", directed by Sir Peter Hall, at LA's Ahmanson Theatre; "The Darker Face of the Earth" by Pulitzer Prize winning, Poet Laureate, Rita Dove; appeared on numerous television shows and performed voice work for over 300 films, including the box-office hits "The Scorpion King" and "Undercover Brother", both for Universal; as well as Academy Award winner "Million Dollar Baby."

J.D. Hall is also the voice of Frederick Douglass in the Lincoln Show and Brer Fox in the Splash Mountain ride, both at Disneyland-Anaheim as well the narrator for the Hall of Presidents at Disney World in Florida. J.D.'s voice can also be heard at The National Civil Rights Museum in Memphis, Tennessee.

In 1990, J.D. was selected from over 2,000 applicants to be a part of the inaugural group of writers in the Disney Studios Fellowship Program. He was a fellow for two years.

Additionally Hall has carved out a place for himself in show business history when, in 1983, he became the "First" Black man to run for the Presidency of the Screen Actors Guild. Running against popular incumbent, Ed Asner, J.D.scored a respectable 20% of the vote.

"'Tawheed' represents my most recent effort in trying to improve the human condition. I hope that it helps in some way," says J.D. Hall

Video Game Industry to Sue Michigan's Governor; Industry Seeks to Have Unconstitutional Video Game Law Overturned

Video Game Industry to Sue Michigan's Governor; Industry Seeks to Have Unconstitutional Video Game Law Overturned

WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 14, 2005--The computer and video game industry will file suit in Michigan asking that the state's new video game law be overturned, the Entertainment Software Association announced today. Similar laws were previously found unconstitutional and thrown out in St. Louis, Indianapolis, and Washington State, costing taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal fees.

"If this law is implemented, it will not only limit First Amendment rights for Michigan's residents, but, by virtue of its vagueness, it will also create a huge amount of confusion for Michigan's retailers, parents, and video game developers," said Douglas Lowenstein, president of the ESA, the trade group representing U.S. computer and video game publishers. "I'm confident the court will affirm our position given the rulings on similar statutes in other jurisdictions; indeed, the facts, the science, the law, and the U.S. Constitution have not changed since those decisions were handed down."

The new law, SB 416, would restrict the dissemination of video games containing certain violent content. According to the ESA, given the bill's hopelessly vague language defining the game content subject to the Act, retailers will have no objective way to determine whether they are in compliance and game developers will not know if their products would be covered. Civil and criminal penalties for violating this Act are fines of up to $5000 to $40,000 or imprisonment for up to 93 days.

The ESA argues that this bill is an effort to substitute the government's judgment for parental supervision and turn retailers into surrogate parents. Lowenstein said that the industry's products were being unreasonably and unfairly singled out. He contends that while there is no question that a few games have content that some audiences will find offensive, the same can be said for some content in TV, films, music, and books. Since the government does not regulate the sales of those entertainment industries, it should follow suit for the sale of video games. Ultimately, he concluded, parents, not government or industry, must be the gatekeepers of what comes in the home.

"In 2004, the average game buyer was 37 years old and the average game player was 30," Lowenstein said. "Knowing this, our industry creates a wide range of content for a diverse consumer audience, just as other entertainment industries do. And, it's illogical that video games would be treated more harshly than R-rated movies or music CDs with parental warning labels, both of which can be legally viewed and sold to minors. How can you treat a video game based on James Bond any different than a book or movie based on the same subject matter?"

The ESA noted that both parents and retailers are already doing a good job in monitoring what games kids purchase. According to the Federal Trade Commission, parents are involved in the purchase or rental of games 83% of the time, and industry data shows that nine out of ten parents monitor the games their kids play. Moreover, with the strong support of the ESA, leading retailers have already implemented systems to prevent the sale of Mature-rated games to persons under 17. In fact, the National Institute on Media and the Family found last fall, prior to full implementation of these new enforcement systems, that retailers prevented the sale of Mature-rated video games to minors 66% of the time. All games are clearly rated with both age and content information through the Entertainment Software Rating Board rating system (www.esrb.org).

The Interactive Entertainment Merchants Association (IEMA) has expressed its strong support for the ESA's action.

The ESA is the U.S. association dedicated to serving the business and public affairs needs of the companies publishing interactive games for video game consoles, handheld devices, personal computers, and the Internet. ESA members collectively account for more than 90 percent of the $7.3 billion in entertainment software sales in the U.S. in 2004, and billions more in export sales of American-made entertainment software. The ESA offers services to interactive entertainment software publishers including a global anti-piracy program, owning the Electronic Entertainment Expo trade show, business and consumer research, government relations and First Amendment and intellectual property protection efforts.

I just discovered this site, http://www.blogsnow.com/
 
" I visited google news and blogdex frequently. I liked google news for its speed and blogdex for using weblogs as a source. I wanted something that is as fast as google news but uses blogs. Since there wasn't anything like that I wrote BlogsNow."

"Every sixty seconds BlogsNow generates a new list of topics. Reflecting what weblogs are talking about right now. BlogsNow will show you trends and breaking news faster than any
other tool."
 
I think it's worth a visit.
