Some Newsy News from Steve2

Hi Readers!

Did you see this mornings headlines? Universal Music (article here) is planning to offer FREE DIGITAL MUSIC DOWNLOADS in December of this year through an ad-heavy website...I guess this is good news? According to the article, the downloads won't play on I-Pods but only on Windows Media enabled type players....and the songs will come with a full set of DRM locks to manipulate listeners into visiting the site (http://www.spiralfrog.com/) for extended listening priviledges and whatnot...

Hey, please don't miss the chance to hear Luca Mundaca for FREE on SAT. SEPT. 9 at UCA in our smoke-free, alcohol free ALL AGES wi-fi enabled coffee mansion!! Luca ordinarily plays Night Town and big shows and festivals, so we are really ecstatic to host her at UCA on Saturday!!!

If you have not seen my latest email newsletter then please sign up for it through the site....the SEPTEMBER CALENDAR is looking good, lot's of talent....and please oh please plan to attend the Edie Carey show on either fri. oct. 6 or sat. oct. 7 (haven't exactly nailed down the date)

Open Mic at UCA will be back EVERY WEDNESDAY NIGHT in SEPTEMBER...that's right every wednesday night. So be there when you can be, ok?
