Hero Records announced today the release of its newest CD maxi-single entitled "Be Your Own Hero" by recording artist Astrid. This dance-oriented CD contains 11 mixes of an inspirational yet radio-friendly track. Music industry veteran Carl Maduri (producer of "Play That Funky Music" and "The Morning After&quot brought this project together with co-producers Sam Toney, Doug Emery and Hal Batt who has a strong history of production work with many well-known Latin artists including Julio Iglesias. Carl Maduri commented “I haven’t been so excited about a project in a long time”. I’m also proud that a portion of the proceeds from our sales will support a number of charitable organizations benefiting battered women”.

Astrid is a multi-talented, multi-lingual artist whose name means "of the stars". After graduating high school, Astrid began singing in a multitude of different bands, giving her the professional versatility that led her to become a finalist on the national TV production Star Search and then shortly thereafter to joining Jimmy Buffet as a back up vocalist for his 1988 Hot Water Tour. Since then, she has had the opportunity to tour nationally in the company of groups like Bonnie Raitt, Rita Coolidge, The Neville Brothers, Ralph McDonald, Little Feat, and Memphis Horns, Steve Cropper and several other national and internationally touring headliners. Astrid commented “I am really excited to be working with Hero Records and Tone 1 on such an important and inspirational project. I’m also so very happy to be a part of a project that will benefit organizations that have helped me personally to overcome my own challenges with being a victim of abuse”.

The details of Astrid’s future tour dates will be available soon according to her management company.

<p><font size="3">Hey Guys!</font></p><p><font size="3">Some of you may have heard that Nexus Radio UK will no longer be using the iMS Chat Room. No there is not bad blood between the two sites! Stop thinking drama guys lol. </font></p><p><font size="3">While the iMS Chat Room offered Nexus the ability to get away from their IRC Chatroom, it did have some limitations for them. We require a login to keep it secure, some of the ignore features caused some problems I guess (I am looking into this) and they did not have admin permissions in the chat. </font></p><p><font size="3">We also had some complaints about the language and the tone of some of the shows. iMS has people of all ages on here and some are under 21. We never want anyone to be uncomfortable so always try and keep it professional. <br /></font></p><p><font size="3">We are saddened to see Nexus move but they will still be playing music from the fine artists on iMS. The problem is, we really liked the interaction in the chatroom during shows. When we first started this site, our chatroom was always active and then we just started using the forum shoutbox more. I forgot how much fun the chat was! We were asked about starting iMS Radio several months ago and I just did not feel we had the time to do it. I guess now is as good of time as any to give it a shot. </font></p><p><font size="3">So if you have longed to do an internet radio show please give this some thought. We will be looking for some people to step up to the mic so to speak. We should have everything in place tomorrow and will be doing some testing. We have the ability to play music at 320K bitrate but I think we will just run 192k as the site allows so the streamed music will sound the same as the artist intended.</font></p><p><font size="3">So what do you think? </font></p><p><font size="3">Dazed</font></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><font size="4" color="#ff0000">Update - I am starting to get the hang of this stuff. Right now you can think of this as an iMS Jukebox. </font></p> <font size="4" color="#ff0000"><a href="http://74.86.37.3:8010/listen.pls">iMS Radio Stream</a></font>

In Mankind's search for life throughout the Universe, it is unimaginable that our first contact would be with a Sasquatch creature walking on the surface of Mars. This recent discovery by the NASA Spirit Rover brings a whole new meaning to the term "Planet of the Apes". It has been speculated that squid-like creatures are swimming in Europa's Ocean or colonies of thriving blue bacterium grow the southern fountains of Enceladus, however, the discovery of an ape-like creature walking on the surface of Mars has shook up the scientific community. Where does it live?, How does it breath?, What does it eat?, How can it survive on such a dry, desolate planet?.................Recent un-released classified close-ups from the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter show a pod of these creatures performing a funky ritual dance over the smashed remains of the ill-fated 1999 Mars Polar Lander Mission.

This song was created by Mad Dog Yosemite(MikeY) and Wherewolf(TLT50) as a tribute to the ghastly beasts that have dominion over the Red Planet, future space travelers be on the alert..............MarzSquatch is waiting for you!

Something new for me- contributing lyric on a work ...but NOT singing.

If you'll go to :
http://www.imusicscene.com/saladin_de_tolosa/
Master Saladin's page, you'll find a tune called "Sight" -

As some of you know, time has been in short supply for me of late - so I haven't done much new recording - BUT , all Saladin asked for was lyric , and I had a poem sitting around that worked for him. I'm delighted with the result. He took the words and with his choice of music and beat - made it more positive and more heart-felt than I could have hoped for . So - please head over to his page and see what you think of my story of a man who finds a woman who can no longer see - sees him best, and gives him a new outlook on his world as well.

Thanks !

best -

Sometimes your emotions just turn you inside out.

This is a WIP - I've been lacking inspiration lately and have finally found the space to get something out of my system.

My maternal grandparents were two amazing people, but they both passed away just recently.

My grandfather...

...started as a muskrat trapper, later became a logger, and finally bought some land in Colorado and became a farmer. When he was a logger, he worked in the redwoods, and felled some incredible trees. I have a picture of him cutting through a tree trunk with a diameter bigger than my apartment's living room.

My grandmother truly had the heart of a servant. She collected strawberries, and it seemed like everything in the kitchen had a strawberry on it. During meals, we'd all try to get her to sit down, but she was invariably popping up to get refills and seconds for everyone.

They'll both be missed terribly, but I'm glad they've gone to a place without suffering.
