Every year we go over the latest changes in the music business. There are so many types of contracts be they, recording, publishing, management, booking agency, or production company, the band, singer, or songwriter who doesn't know the difference between a 360, 220 or 180 deal, and who should get one (everyone will ask) is going to be a very unhappy, bitter and more than likely broke artist. We're going to try and cover as much of this as we can, so your music industry experience will be as pleasant as you might have fantasized it would be. nWe have a great panel who have "been there and done that" and will be sharing their years of (not always pleasant) experience with you. We'll be opening phones. Join us as we begin our 17th year on the air.

Samm Brown's FOR THE RECORD, now in its 15th season, is the only weekly, one-hour, radio talk show in the nation that focuses exclusively on the $700 billion a year entertainment industry. The show is broadcast every Thursday evening at 8 PM from KPFK 90.7 FM in Los Angeles, with audio streaming at www.kpfk.org. Open phone lines (818-985-5735) allow guests on the show to talk directly with the audience.

Some time ago we initiated a segment titled "Film/TV Composers Forum" -- where from time to time we will invite a panel of working film/TV composers to come in and talk about anything they want -- rather than a preselected subject by our producers or me. SCL (Society of Composers and Lyricists) executive director Laura Dunn will sit in to cohost and assist in moderating.


Features:
HOME STUDIO RECORDING with David Banta
