The Drama For May, 2006

Is it midyear already? The Crazy Pinoys haven't even gotten up yet , and half the year is over! We have to limit the Mojitos and get some work done........well, tomorrow maybe!

It's time for us to weigh in on a few news items this month. First, the lesson we get from New York's Hot 97 DRAMA and what has been going on in their lobby, what with the shootings, the fighting, etc, is that to have real power, absolute power, you need to own! Own everything. The building, the block, the street, the contractors who build, the city that approves permits. Why do we say this? Because it is too sexy to be able to evict radio stations that cater to bad behavior and ruin the neighbors peace of mind and condo values! We are just in love with the idea that if people recording hit records can't behave themselves, big companies playing their crap will lose their leases! Isn't it fabulous?! The answer to it all is, OWN.

Next, as a dashing super action hero myself, it is with great interest that we review the flak over the choice of the next 007 in the upcoming Casino Royale pic. I don't know much about Craig David but personally, whatever Pierce Brosnan was asking, they should have paid ($20M). Check out http://www.craignotbond.com/ and make your own opinion.

Message to all the non entertainment related people on MySpace: Get Out. As one of the first thousand invitees to join the thing in the first place, it is irritating for me to review profiles that say things like "no bands" or "no artists" for friends. Whaa? You asses seem to misunderstand the history and motive of that site. Please relegate yourselves to Nick Lachey's social networking space (http://www.ifly.com/ ) if you truly feel this way about the arts!

In promotions news we are top heavy with work on behalf of non profits and charities right now. It's cool because we are SO VERY TIRED of rap music politics and the games. It's age and experience speaking now. Labels, do you think sending MP3's to everyone and focusing solely on P1 is promotion? We think NOT.

In closing this month's Drama, I can't tell you how wonderful it is to finally be calling things the way they are. The gloves are off, let the street games begin!
