Congress is about to pass legislation which will jeopardize
internet radio broadcasters by shooting royalties literally sky high

Please take one minute of your time
(the same amount of time it takes to see who last wrote on your facebook wall)

and click here to send a message to your state representatives asking for a re-evaluation of royalty increase.

obviously if this legislation passes internet radio will be largely shut down,
putting an end to an amazing way of turning people on to the best music they've never heard

which had neat artwork on the walls and the finest green tea
i've had in a while.
