4 PNN EDTRALS CMMENTARY LETTERS the New Revlutin Why The Web Will Change Everything BY MARK MNTGMERY Billbard's Antny Brun wrte an April clumn called "N Distributin Withut Cmpensatin" (yes, did pay fr my subscriptin, thank yu very much), talking abut the state f the publishing business. Since that clumn was written, a few mre businesses have bitten the dust, including a cuple f imprtant newspapers, magazines and trade publicatins. The publishing business (which includes music, bks and newsprint), alng with the media and bradcast business (radi, film and TV) are all in the same bat. The creative destructin f these businesses, pwered by the nternet, is ur st -century versin f the Gutenberg revlutin. Add the hckey stick effect f technlgy (which wuld argue is just ramping up), thrw in a little ecnmic dwnturn, and it's n wnder everyne is befuddled. Clay Shirky wrte a great article March n Shirky.cm called "Newspapers and Thinking the Unthinkable" that described a cnversatin he had in with his bss at the New Yrk Times, in which his bss quipped, "When a - year -ld kid can blw up yur business in his spare time, nt because he hates yu, but because he lves yu, then yu've gt a prblem." Sund familiar? Shawn Fanning created Napster because he was a fan... and we treated him, and his 60 millin friends, as fes. Dn't get me wrng -creative peple shuld be cmpensated fr their wrk. But wuld suggest that we as an industry had an pprtunity and missed it. The intrductin f the Gutenberg printing press in 6 created chas. Mst revlutins are painful, and institutins and peple get hurt. But fr sme reasn, certain grups cling t the way things were, perhaps t prtect the lifestyle they built fr themselves, r t perpetuate their versin f what the public wants, when it clearly wants smething else. Anyne standing n the "wrng hill" with the right idea are, t qute Shirky, "herded int innvatin departments, where they can be ignred en masse." But sme f thse flks stay n that hill and d it the way they think it shuld be dne. There are mre and mre success stries where new thinking is prevailing. ne f the bvius nes is Nine nch Nails. Recently Trent Reznr was asked hw he'd navigate the music business if he were starting ut tday, and his respnse -psted n the Nine nch Nails message bards, where he regu- t's nt easy, but nthing wrth having is. n my walkabut, 've heard success stry after success stry f creatrs making a living, sme inside the system, sme utside it, wh culd nt be where they are withut the pwer f the Web. Gutenberg prvided the gas fr the fire f the Renaissance. Arts, architecture, educatin, scial and plitical cncepts all explded ut f the chas f that change. There was much resistance t it, and the church was ne f the bigger lsers. There will als be big lsers in this revlutin, and they wn't g dwn withut a fight. But have faith. When we lk in the rearview mirrr we see that the wrld became a much better place fr the upheaval f the 00s. And perhaps this pain f all these industries will frce lng- needed changes that will make us all better. n ur industry, pain seems t be mving us t finally wrk tgether t ffer a unified price structure and transparency thrugh technlgy where everyne knws wh wns what and hw much it csts, s we can finally g ahead and finish setting the music free. - larly interacts directly with his custmers (what a nvel cncept) -was as fllws: "Partner with a TpSpin r similar [cmpany] r build yur wn Web site, but what yu need t d is this -give yur music away as high -quality [digital rights management] -free MPs.

DGTAL BY ANTNY BRUN T LEGTT FT Mre PP Services Try T Cnvert T Licensed- Cntent Mdels t's a familiar pattern: After amassing a huge user base by prviding unauthrized access t cpyrighted material, an illicit nline service tries t get back in the gd graces f the recrding industry, nly t fall ff the radar screen f its nce - avid fans. The experiences f Napster, imesh and ednkey have demnstrated hw tugh it is fr brands built n the prmise f free music t cnvert themselves int mneymaking businesses. Nw the Pirate Bay, Kazaa and LimeWire are attempting t navigate a successful transitin t legitimacy, reaching ut t labels t remake themselves as fully licensed entertainment services. "Just because yu jined the club desn't mean yu get t make mney," says Mike Mc- Guire, a media analyst at the Gartner Grup. "Yu have t create yur wn branded experience. t's all abut hw yu execute n that and create a cmpelling alternative t the services ut there. Nt just the free [peer -t -peer] netwrks, but all the legitimate netwrks... That's ging t be tugh." Mre than half f active PP users cite free music as the primary reasn they use file -sharing services, accrding t Gartner data. ther reasns include the ability t access cntent nt therwise available n licensed services. And when a PP site shuts dwn r tries t g legit, users tend t migrate t the next replacement -frm Napster t Kazaa, Kazaa t LimeWire and s n. But Wayne Rss, the frmer Grkster and Mashbxx CE wh's nw advising Sweden's Glbal Gaming Factry in its effrts t make the Pirate Bay legitimate, says any new music service faces challenges these days. "t's extremely difficult n matter wh yu are," he says. "Let's face it: Yu're in a market with tw cmpetitrs -Apple and free. T make a dent, yu have t cme up with smething that's really nvel." Glbal Gaming plans t charge users an undetermined mnthly fee that will let them dwnlad music. But it wuld give them the ptin f lwering that fee if they let Pirate Bay use their cmputers fr nline data strage and nternet bandwidth ptimizatin services it plans t sell. The cmpany wuld use the cmbined cmputing pwer f Pirate Bay users t prvide virtual lckers fr clients interested in backing up files nline, help rute nternet traffic fr easier and faster media transmissin and ther services. The mre cmputing resurces users vlunteer fr these services, the less they wuld pay in mnthly fees. "t's a bank sht," Rss says. "There's a lt f mving parts t it. Hwever, it has the ptential t be huge." Rss didn't prvide a specific timetable fr Glbal Gaming's plans. Kazaa, meanwhile, is cunt- ing n an innvative billing system t put it ver the tp. The cmpany has launched a $0- per -mnth streaming -nly subscriptin service in the United States that allws users t add their mnthly payments t the mbile phne bill f participating carriers -including AT&T, Sprint and T- Mbile- rather than prvide a credit card. The cmpany als plans t add nternet service prviders t its list f partners. Althugh the service is pricier and less flexible than ther subscriptin plans n the market, Kazaa CE Kevin Bermeister says that mnths f testing varius mdels with 0,000 trial users suggests the ffer will succeed. "We think peple will pay as lng as the ability t pay was as cnvenient as the ability t steal music," he says. "The price f curse is high, [but] the cnvenience f the billing platfrm is enabling us t get t the higher price pint." Leading PP netwrk Lime - Wire, which still faces cpyright infringement suits frm the majrs, als intends t embrace a licensed- cntent mdel, accrding t CE Gerge Searle. L The first step tward this gal was the cmpany's launch last year f the Lime - Wire Stre, with cntent frm CD Baby, the rchard, RS Distributin and Nettwerk Music Grup, amng thers. The stre ffers a la carte sales and an emusic -like subscriptin mdel. The next step is t replace the PP service with a standard ad- supprted service and an ptinal subscriptin tier, sharing revenue with licensing labels. "Quickly frcing cnversin t a paid service desn't wrk," Searle says. "n rder t reclaim PP users, it's critically imprtant t preserve the cre user experience. A quick transitin t a service that might be label - friendly, but devid f cnsumer appeal, is ging t fail."

8 : -,adian) Hidden a aci L.A: s Greek Theatre Uses Camuflage Netting T Adjust Seating Arenas have lng used curtaining systems t adjust their capacity fr acts f varying drawing pwer- what's knwn, ften unppularly, as "cut- dwns." Fr utdr shws, amphitheaters can ften simply sell the fixed seating, eschewing the lawn and reducing capacity by tw- thirds. But the Greek Theatre in Ls Angeles has taken the utdr flexible- capacity tactic t a new level with what it calls "camuflage." The Greek sunk abut $0,000 int a system f military -style netting that eliminates the aesthetic, financial and psychlgical negativity f empty seats r a sparsely ppulated lawn. The cncept is the brainchild f Alex Hdges, C f Nederlander Cncerts. "Did yu ever see fans stand up at intermissin t lk at what's behind them?" Hdges asks. "What are they lking fr? T see if it's full, t see hw many peple are behind them, and if they gt better seats than they did. And t see if there are a lt f empty seats." When they lk up and see the Greek's cam setup, "it lks great," he says. What makes the Greek's setup effective in these uncertain ticket -selling times is that it enables the venue t fine -tune its capacity in abut a dzen cnfiguratins, ranging frm,000 t a full huse f abut,00. "n the past, say yu d,00 ut f,00; yu have a strng shw but yu have a lt f empty seats," Hdges says. "And the band lks ut and thinks, 'h, man, didn't quite get there.' And yu want peple t get there, t have a virtual sellut." While the arenas have dne variatins n this theme fr years, Hdges says that "a lt f venues with smaller capacities and prscenium stages have nt adpted this practice." Cam is especially well- suited fr the Greek because f its natural setting. "We're surrunded by trees," Hdges says, "nt pen space, nt a building, nt a parking lt, a high rise, an ffice building, nt a manufacturing plant, nt a baseball park." Hdges says there are tw ways f presenting the cam ptin t artists.

"They g, 'Ww, that's cl, because dn't knw can d 6,000 but d knw can d,00,' " Hdges says. Fr artists that can draw almst a full huse, the Greek will hld certain sectins ff because, fr example, sme peple like being n the tp rw. "Fr Michael McDnald and Bz Skaggs we used very little camuflage, but we used it," Hdges says. "We set it up at,00 and sld ut everything." Amng the artists wh have made use f the system are Chris Btti, An- n The Rad RAY WADDELL drew Bird, Emmylu Harris and Nek Case, as well as a Latin jazz festival and the '0s Sul Jam tur.

"Sme artists used t say, ' knw can't d 6,000, s 'm nt ging t play the Greek,' " Hdges says. "Nw, in an intimate setting, we give ptins and they can say, ' lve the Greek stage.

UMG acquired a stake in Ngrves primarily t access its digital distributin technlgy, which Universal Music Grup Distributin (UMGD) president /CE Jim Urie says was needed t cmplement the cmpany's physical indie distributr Fntana. "We were lking fr a better slutin fr indies t distribute their cntent," Urie says. "UMG bviusly has a great digital lgistics platfrm, but it is mre cmplicated and there's mre bdies invlved. Fr an independently distributed label, yu want smething that's fairly simple." Sny was seeking much the same when it invested in DA and specifically cited its partner's internatinal digital accunts as a much -needed additin t its distributin effrts. DA's clients include Rpeadpe Recrds (DJ Lgic), HiFi Recrdings (Melinda Dlittle) and Expunged Recrds (Blind Pilt). But dn't expect the remaining stand -alne digital aggregatrs t jump int bed with the first majr label that cmes their way. RS Distributin expects t cntinue t g it alne by fcusing n a small rster f artists and labels, says RS chief marketing fficer Bryn Bughtn. While pen t ptential deals with majr labels, Bughtn warns that cultural differences can make fr a bumpy integratin. "ndies need t be careful s that their business deci- sins aren't taken ut f their hands," she says. "Part f what makes them successful is that they can be really flexible, they can take risks, they dn't have a bureaucracy. S yu have t be wary f that when wrking with a crn - pany that has many layers f bureaucracy." At the ther end f the spectrum is indie behemth the rchard. After grwing thrugh acquisitins and internal expansin, the rchard nw ffers a suite f services far beynd digital distributin with a massive rster f internatinal cntent. CE Greg Schll says that even mre new services and innvatins are n the way, but he desn't rule ut a ptential sale. "We're a public cmpany," Schll says. "The ability t buy us is as easy as lgging int yur Schwab accunt and placing rders." Even if indie digital aggregatrs were chasing after majr -label partnerships, it might be t late. Ever since the TuneCre deal, UMGD's Urie says a number f smaller cmpanies have cntacted him that are interested in similar deals, but the label has little left t ffer. "At this pint in time, we feel that we are as end -t -end as we can get," he says. " can't tell yu tday that there are any mre alliances f this kind that we wuld make."

The retail giant's exclusive Sept. release f Freigner's "Can't Slw Dwn" will be its first majr exclusive since AC /DC's "Black ce" in ctber. The album (Freigner's first since 's "Mr. Mnlight ") has much in cmmn with Jurney's 00 Wal- Mart -nly release, "Revelatin." Like its predecessr, "Can't Slw Dwn" will be a three -disc set that features a CD f new material, a cncert DVD and a best -f cllectin. While "Revelatin" included a CD f rerecrded Jurney favrites, Freigner remixed the band's riginal master recrdings t make its hits sund mre cntemprary. Perhaps mst nticeably t lngtime fans f bth bands, each release features a replacement lead singer -in Freigner's case, Kelly Hansen, wh takes the place f riginal frntman Lu Gramm.

"Nt ring - tnes, nt master - tnes, nt full -track dwnlads, which are still very limited. t's ringback tnes." Universal has sld mre than millin ringbacks in Central America s far this year, rtiz says. That's an impressive tally cnsidering that the average cst f a ringback is $. -$.0 fr three mnths f use, a pretty steep price fr cuntries with relatively lw per capita incmes. Recrded -music sales in Central America ttaled just $0. millin in 00, less than the $. millin in sales recrded in Chile alne, accrding t the FP. But that still represented FEVER PTCH Swine Flu Fears Hit After prmpting a slew f cncert cancellatins and pstpnements in Mexic, swine flu has migrated suth fr the Argentine winter. That's led t sme lsses in the live events industry, thugh bigger internatinal turs may have ddged a bullet. Swine flu had claimed lives in Argentina as f press time, accrding t the cuntry's health ministry, secnd nly t the United States and exceeding the number f deaths in Mexic, where the utbreak was initially centered. While there wasn't a natinally mandated clsure f event venues, health fficials in municipalities arund the cuntry issued recmmendatins against public gatherings. n respnse, Argentina's theater wners' assciatin vluntarily clsed all member venues fr 0 days, repening fr business July. Sme Argentine acts like the rck grup Baba - snics pstpned tur dates until early August. Argentine Turing Market Perhaps the mst high - prfile cancellatin was Pre - mis Gardel, the cuntry's annual music awards shw. The ceremny had been scheduled fr July but the labels rganizatin CAPF decided instead t annunce the awards thrugh a July press release. Theater wners' assciatin president Carls Rt - temberg says July is typically a peak mnth fr attendance, with venues averaging a cmbined 00,000 theatergers per week. "A lt f peple suddenly stpped cming, s it was sending us a signal," Rttemberg says, nting that the clsings als hurt ther related businesses, "frm taxis t parking and candy kisks t the merchandise tables."

After Universal acquired Univisin Music Grup last year, it started digitizing Univisin's reginal Mexican catalg and saw an immediate increase in sales f ringback tnes. This was true fr megastars like Marc Antni Slis and Ls Temeraris, but als have t pay casts fr the duratin f an engagement, whether r nt they're wrking, Alfiz says. "What mst hurt the industry was public parania," he says, "s we decided t cut ur shws fr 0 days as a way f reducing anxiety." Family shws like the live musical prductin f the hit tween TV shw "Casi Angeles" were mst affected, "because parents didn't want t take their kids," says Marcel Dinisi, directr general f the cncert prmter Fenix Entertainment. But Dinisi, whse cmpany is prmting fall shws by Ricard Arjna and the Killers, says mst big internatinal turs dn't cme thrugh Argentina until the end f the year, during the cuntry's spring and summer.

He was 6. A native f Brklyn, Klenfner used a jb as a Fillmre East buncer as a springbard int a life -lng adventure in the music business. Tgether with friend Chip Rachlin, he c- prmted a Beach Bys cncert at Carnegie Hall in February that was seen as instrumental in helping transfrm the public's perceptin f the band frm an ldies attractin t a still- creative cntemprary act. Arund the same time, Klenfner als did a shrt stint in radi as an acting music directr fr W -FM. Klenfner spent mst f the '0s wrking fr recrd labels, including Clumbia, Arista and Atlantic. Since then, he had wrked as a cnsultant, smetimes ding radi prmtin fr multiple la- bels at the same time, as well as advising clients like Madisn Square Garden, MTV and WWE in their dealings with labels and artists. Whether Klenfner was at a label r wrking as an independent cnsultant, his rle ften was the same. At a July memrial service in New Yrk, Tm Rss, the frmer chief f Creative Artists Agency's music divisin, described Klenfner as "a fixer," a sentiment eched by frmer lngtime CBS /Sny Music executive Bb Sherwd, wh described him as a "get -it -dne guy." Klenfner was the man t speak t "if smebdy needed t get int a cmpletely sld -ut cncert, r if smebdy needed t get a sng n the radi r a band n `Saturday Night Live,' " Sherwd says. And that held true, he adds, even when Klenfner was wrking fr ne label and the persn in need f help was frm anther. Thrugh the years, Klenfner has been credited with playing a key rle in breaking acts in the United States, including the Bay City Rllers, the utlaws and Cher's cmeback hit, "Believe."

By the time the band's album "Pwerage" came ut in, Klenfner was a senir executive at Atlantic, where he became ne f the band's biggest champins. " give Michael a great deal f credit fr breaking AC /DC in America," Carsn says. While at Atlantic, Klenfner became invlved with Dan Aykryd and Jhn Belushi and helped develp a "Saturday Night Live" skit int the Blues Brthers. He later had a came rle in the mvie, prtraying a recrd cmpany president. Jeffersn Airplane /Starship manager Bill Thmpsn recalled at the memrial service that when Belushi died in, Klenfner cmmandeered a Warner crprate jet and escrted the actr's bdy- cvered in a shrud and nt in a cffin -t Martha's Vineyard fr burial.

15 HAMBURG -A mnth after Ppkmm's cancellatin, rival music cnferences are jckeying fr psitin t attract industry executives wh had expected t g t Berlin in September. Ppkmm annunced its decisin June, blaming the current ecnmic crisis. Ppkmm directr Katja Grss says 00 bkings were dwn 0% frm last June and "we were afraid we wuld nt meet ur financial targets." n 00, Ppkmm attracted exhibitrs and,000 trade visitrs. But, the cnference's reputatin as a venue fr deal- making means ther events are eager t target its audience. ne leading cntender is Clgne's c/ pp event, which will be held Aug Launched in 00, c/ pp says attendance at last year's event reached 0,000, including bth industry attendees and members f the public. The cnference featured panel discussins, exhibitrs and perfrmances by abut 00 artists. Since Ppkmm called ff its 00 cnference, c/ pp CE Nrbert berhaus says he has nticed an uptick in registratins, adding that c/ pp is in talks with city and state fficials abut a new frmat aimed at attracting mre internatinal attendees. Ppkmm regulars are amng the key targets f the nline and print media marketing campaign fr the new digital- fcused cnventin and artist shwcase allgethernw (an), which will take place Sept. 6 - at Berlin's Radialsystem V arts cmplex. An is embracing an "uncnference" mdel in which registered attendees will vte n which tpics r business mdels will be presented. Cnventinal trade fairs are nw "t expensive and superfluus fr the music industry," says an c- rganizer Tim Renner, a frmer chairman /CE f Universal Music Germany wh is nw CE f the indie label /nternet radi grup Mtr Entertainment. BY WLFGANG SPAHR `Pp' Alternatives Eurpean Cnferences Lk T Cash n n Ppkmm's Cancellatin pprtunity kncks: c% pp's NRBERT BERHAUS (left) and an's TM RENNER Meanwhile, veteran cncert prmter Marek Lieberberg is in talks with the Frankfurt music instrument trade fair Musikmesse abut launching an annual cnference at its next event in March that wuld "bring tgether the recrding industry, cncert business, radi, TV and publishers." But Musikmesse manager Crdelia vn Gymnich ntes that the 0- year -ld music fair already features a Musikbiz cnference fcused n issues affecting the recrding industry. Amid all this activity, internatinal cnference attendees are cnsidering their ptins. "We were a little surprised when Ppkmm was canceled, as ur [members] bkings were nly marginally dwn," says Alisn Wenham, chairman /chief executive f the United Kingdm's AM. "ur cmpanies g t Pp - kmm t meet cmpanies frm all ver Eurpe, nt just frm Germany, s MDEM will be an attractive alternative." MDEM, Eurpe's largest music industry trade fair, will take place Jan. -, 00, in Cannes, and directr Dminique Leguern says cntact has already been made with key players in the German music industry "t make sure that we are answering their needs." While acknwledging that ther events are casting cvetus eyes n Ppkmm's audience, Ppkmm's Grss remains cnfident f retaining the lyalty f past attendees fr 00, insisting that the cnference will return next year in revamped frm, with the strng supprt f German labels rganizatins BVM and VUT. Sme lngtime Ppkmm attendees aren't as enthusiastic. Heinz Canibl, CE f 0 Music in Hamburg, says he wuld prefer t see several smaller sectr -specific events, rather than ne industrywide event. Berlin -based cncert prmter Berthld Seliger says he simply sees n need fr the cnference, given the current state f the music business. "Ppkmm was superfluus," Seliger says. "t's an expensive piece f navel -gazing with nnstp partying that the industry cannt affrd." Nnetheless, Grss says she is "receiving psitive signals fr a new Ppkmm frm the business." The pstpnement, she adds, "leaves a gap, [especially] fr the internatinal business, that cannt be filled with an alternative event." Additinal reprting by Trn Fergusn in Lndn. QU = S'NS with RLAND SWENSN While the tugh ecnmy frced Ppkmm t call ff its 00 cnfab, this year's Suth by Suthwest cnference fared cnsiderably better. Music registratins at SXSW, which was held March - in Austin, fell abut 0% frm last year, accrding t managing directr Rland Swensn. But SXSW's film festival and digital media -centered interactive cnferences have helped braden the appeal f the franchise and diversify its revenue streams. n an interview with Billbard, Swensn discussed the challenges f perating a music cnference during lean times fr the industry and the brader ecnmy. Hw is the recessin affecting yur plans fr next year's SXSW? We decided we need t play t ur strength, which is the cnvergence that surrunds all three events. When we started the [ film and interactive] events, we wanted them t have their wn identity within their industry. think we've achieved that, and nw we think the future fr us is fitting all thse parts tgether. [The recessin has] hastened it. We dn't knw what's ging t happen with music. t's hard t knw hw everything's ging t turn ut. We need t be thinking f ur event in a mre cmprehensive way than we have in the past. What kinds f changes culd that lead t? We've already gt mre curriculum that is aimed at all three events. Fr the first time, we did a "Platinum Track" [f exclusive prgramming fr platinum badge hlders]. There's als been mre bands playing during film, mre films shwing during music and it's all kind f mving that way anyway. We're just trying t keep up with what's actually happening. Hw is that affecting yur apprach with spnsrs? D yu pitch SXSW as an integrated sell fr three different events? think at this pint spnsrs are maybe mst interested in music. t's kind f a cultural thing. t kind f drives me crazy when see all these cmmercials -apparently the clest thing in the wrld is t be backstage at a rck cncert. When did we get t this pint that we're nt wrshipping sprts stars anymre, that nw everybdy wants t be a rck star? think that is the directin that spnsrship and ad- vertising is heading tward - that audience that ges t cncerts because f the desirable demgraphic. Des the cancellatin f Ppkmm prvide a grwth pprtunity fr rival music cnferences? Prbably nt. think right nw is a really hard time t start anew. [Existing cnferences] are struggling t. We've never taken it fr granted that we were ging t get t d it the next year. We've always apprached it as, "Everything has t wrk because we may nt get t d this again if we screw up." think that's ne f the reasns we've survived. Typically when an event cancels, that's it. f they're able t cme back, it wuld be a really gd stry. Hw have the recrding industry's struggles affected SXSW? n ur first 0 years, we were very dependent n the budgets f majr labels, wh wuld send 0, 0, 0, 0 peple t Austin fr SXSW. Well, that desn't really happen anymre. We still get peple frm thse cmpanies, but nt in thse numbers. Frtunately fr us, we've always had a very brad base f custmers. We weren't ttally dependent n recrd cmpanies because we als had publishers, managers, agencies, cllege radi and n and n. The live part f music was a distinct thing abut ur event, s we were able t weather the big change frm whatever the industry was in t what it is nw. Since the name f the game became marketing acts and getting their name ut, we had a mechanism t d that. We were kind f at the right place at the right time fr this new thing that the business has becme. Metallica played SXSW this year t launch "Guitar Her Metallica," while R.E.M. played last year t preview its then -new album, "Accelerate." Hw d yu incrprate marquee acts like that while retaining yur rep as a platfrm fr emerging artists? There's always been this myth abut SXSW that it was suppsed t be a talent cntest fr unsigned acts. think that frm early n when we started having bigger acts there was this, "Hey, it's nt suppsed t be abut this," and we were saying, "But yes, it is." Whether it was having Jhnny Cash in r Metallica in 00, there's a place at SXSW fr acts that sell millins f recrds and there always has been. SXSW was suppsed t be a way fr acts t prmte themselves t the rest fthe wrld. N matter hw big the act is, they still need t d that. f we can prvide that service fr R. E. M r "Guitar Her," great.

16 BY RB SCHWARTZ JUST SAY N n Japan's Anti -Piracy Fight, Labels pt Fr Educatin ver Prsecutin TKY -Japan is abut t make it illegal fr cnsumers t dwnlad unauthrized music files. But dn't expect the recrding industry t g running t the curts. A June amendment t the cuntry's cpyright law makes it a criminal ffense t dwnlad r share cpyrighted material. But rather than pting fr cstly and unppular legal actin, label executives say they prefer t cunter digital piracy by raising public awareness f the new law, which takes effect Jan., 00. The Recrding ndustry Assn. f Japan "has been wrking fr abut five years t cmbat illegal dwnlads," CE Kei shizaka says. "We have wn a majr victry with this - peple will realize what is legal and what is nt." The RAJ valued 00 digital music sales -% f which were mbile - at 0. billin yen ($ millin), representing 0% f recrded -music sales. But it als estimates mbile phne users alne cpied millin unauthrized music files last year. n Japan, "the prblem with illegal digital files is quite different than Raising awareness: Frm left, RAJ's SHGETA SHJ and KE SHZAKA; Sny Music Publishing's KEN HTAKE the U.S.," RAJ GM Shigeta Shji says. "Here, many peple dn't realize they're acquiring illegal material. f they knew, we believe mst wuld nt d it." Shji says a 00 RAJ survey indicated % f mbile users wuld immediately stp using any site if they knew it was illegal. The RAJ is nw cnsidering public service annuncements in the media and presentatins t students natinwide as ways f educating yung peple -particularly lder teens -n the new legal change. Since July 00, legal music services have been identified nscreen by an RAJ lg. Hwever, the rganizatin cncedes that mbile users in particular remain largely unaware f the lg's significance. Sny Music Publishing (Japan) president Ken htake insists the amendment "was definitely necessary... it was essential t set limits." But the new legisla- tin desn't set any penalties. f a criminal curt finds an ffender guilty, rights -hlders must turn t civil curts t seek damages. Previusly, nly uplading unauthrized files had been a criminal ffense, carrying a maximum 0 -year prisn sentence and a 0 millin yen ($0,000) fine. Amng industry players, the authrs grup JASRAC has taken a recent lead in wrking with the plice t prsecute upladers. Hwever, JAS - RAC internatinal relatins manager Satshi Watanabe says the rganizatin isn't cnsidering taking legal actin against individual file sharers. "Educating yung peple is the way t g," he says. nternet service prviders are welcming this preference fr educatin ver prsecutin. n March 00, leading Japanese SPs pledged in a memrandum f understanding t wrk vluntarily with rights -hlders t tackle unauthrized dwnlading and file sharing. With the legal situatin nw clarified, the way seems clear fr SPs t make gd n that cmmitment. "f we d have a serius and persistent infringer, we can call n cperatin frm the SPs," FP reginal directr May -seey Leng says. The SP memrandum suggests that SPs may be pen t embracing an graduated- respnse prgram that wuld include warnings sent t persistent file sharers and a pssible terminatin f nternet service if thse warnings are ignred. Hwever, Tatsu Yagi, media service planning department manager at the leading SP KDDi, declined t cmment n pssible sanctins, saying nly that "KDDi has been wrking with -and will cntinue t wrk with -the RAJ and recrd cmpanies t mve frward n spreading the wrd n this issue." Japan's apprach initially seems at dds with reginal neighbrs like Taiwan and Suth Krea, which have pted fr "three strikes" -type prgrams placing mre respnsibility n SPs t cntrl cntent. But Leng insists the labels' stance genuinely reflects the reality f Japanese sciety, where arrest and cnvictin are virtually synnymus. "n the past we hardly saw any physical piracy in Japan," she says. "They are generally law- abiding peple. t's just nt in the Japanese nature t buy fake gds."

BY RBERT THMPSN n The `Hunt' Canada Biz Casts Wary Eye n Pending PP Curt Ruling TRNT -Canadian labels fear an imminent curt ruling culd make the cuntry a safe haven fr unauthrized file - sharing peratins. The British Clumbia Curt f Appeal is scheduled t rule July n the leading BitTrrent site ishunt's appeal regarding a petitin t have its peratin deemed legal. s- Hunt indexes mre than 00 BitTrrent Web sites, enabling users t link t the files n them. shunt had mre than 0 millin unique visitrs in June, accrding t funder Gary Fung. Althugh Fung declines t give revenue details, entertainment industry insiders estimate ishunt made mre than $ millin frm advertising last year. Canadian Recrding ndustry Assn. (CRA) legal cunsel Richard Pfhl warns that a legal victry fr ishunt culd make Canada "the destinatin f chice" fr file - sharing services facing legal actin in ther cuntries. "That [Fung] thinks his service is legal and is smething wrth fighting in the curts abut is frightening," Pfhl says. The CRA has previusly threatened ishunt with legal actin ver alleged cpyright infringement and has issued a number f takedwn rders, with which ishunt says it has cmplied. t claims t have deleted mre than 0,000 links t unauthrized tracks since 00. Canada's utdated cpyright laws mean the CRA wuld face prblems tackling ishunt in the curts, says Mark Hayes, an intellectual prperty /technlgy lawyer at Hayes elaw in Trnt. "The legal thery t get smething like ishunt in Canada at the mment is tricky at best," he says. Gvernment attempts t update the Cpyright Act t address nline piracy have been stalled since ctber's parliamentary electin. While the CRA declined t cmment further n hw it wuld respnd if Fung's appeal succeeds, Hayes says the Canadian gvernment wuld be bliged t stp unauthrized file- sharing peratins frm mving int Canada. "'m sure yu'd see the gvernment react pretty quickly," he says. Fung's psitin is "that he is nt facilitating the breaking f any cpyright laws," his attrney Art Kvacs says. "Mr. Fung's Web site is simply a directry f directries -like the telephne bk." A Swedish curt rejected a similar defense deplyed by the Sweden -based BitTrrent tracker Pirate Bay, sentencing its fur principals t jail (bill - bard.biz, April ). "Pirate Bay is a whle different case," Fung says. "t was in a different cuntry and the laws aren't the same. We abslutely d nt want t prfit frm piracy -it just s happens peple want t pirate." shunt initially filed its pe- titin in September with the Supreme Curt f British Clumbia. t named the fur majr labels and the CRA as respndents and sught a ruling that ishunt's peratins didn't infringe cpyrights. But in March, Judge Victr Curtis declined t d s, ruling that ishunt must file an actin and be subject t a full trial if Fung wanted t mve the issue frward (bill - bard.biz, March ). shunt has appealed that ruling. f the appeal fails, Kvacs says Fung will prceed with a full trial, which he admits wuld likely nt take place until 00. Fung insists he turned t the curts reluctantly fllwing the CRA's threat f legal actin. "s this smething want?" he asks. "N. t wuld be mre prductive... t wrk ut a way f identificatin and takedwn [f cpyrighted material]." Hwever, Pfhl insists that Fung "runs a big site that is based entirely n cpyright infringement. f yu lk n the site, yu can dwnlad an artist's entire discgraphy." He describes Fung's legal actin as a last -ditch effrt t claim sme legitimacy as similar sites elsewhere are being shut dwn. "He's betting the farm n this ne," Pfhl says. "And think he'll fight this until the end." 6 BLLBARD AUGUST, 00

17 BY RAY WADDELL THE _0AR MAC PRESENTS PRESDENT Marcie With live -music spnsrships expected t grw this year, a leading deal brker explains what's ging n in the market. Nrth American cmpanies will spend $. billin t spnsr music venues, festivals and turs this year, cmpared with $ billin in 00, accrding t the EG Spnsrship Reprt, which tracks spnsrship spending. As president f the Nashville -based spnsrship and fulfillment agency MAC Presents, Marcie Allen negtiates high -prfile spnsrships between the wrld's leading brands and artists. Live entertainment spnsrships have mved beynd the days f nstage signage and a simple "presents" designatin n a cncert ticket. n brkering fully integrated, multiplatfrm band /brand partnerships, Allen has been at the frefrnt f this shift. Jeep's spnsrship f Tim McGraw and Faith Hill's 00 SulSul tur, which was brkered by MAC Presents, was the first recipient f Billbard's Cncert Marketing and Prmtin Award. ther deals brkered by MAC include the 00 Tim McGraw Live Yur Vice tur, spnsred by KC Masterpiece and Kingsfrd Charcal, and the 00 and 00 BlackBerry Presents Jhn Mayer tur. MAC als prduces events, including Vanderbilt University's Rites f Spring festival in Nashville, the BlackBerry Strm Launch Party with F Fighters and Queens f the Stne Age, the Sprts llustrated Swimsuit Editin Launch Party with Jhn Legend, and Dave Matthews and Tim Reynlds at the Micrsft SAS cnventin. Mst recently, MAC was hired t be the entertainment agency representing Kingsfrd and KC Masterpiece fr their 00 spnsrship f the Keith Urban tur. While ut n that tur, Allen tk time t speak with Billbard abut the state f bands and brands. Hw is the spnsrship business faring this summer? The spnsrship business is bigger than it's ever been. Entertainment marketing is smething that mre and mre brands want t get int. Hwever, they dn't knw hw t, and they need help navigating thrugh the music industry, whether it's licensing, spnsrships, prmtins r endrsements. The reasn think it's ding s well right nw is because peple are watching less TV. t's mre abut branded entertainment, mre abut integratin. Hw can we naturally integrate ur brand int the entertainment space? And ne f the ways yu can d that is by becming invlved with an artist, whether it's by a tur, an album release r a fundatin r charity, a prmtin, whatever it may be. f yu cmpare the cst f spnsring a tur and buying a 60 -secnd spt, in sme cases they're very similar. Fr the cst f ne 60- secnd spt, yu culd spnsr a whle tur fr fur t six mnths and really have that ne- ne -ne interactin. That's what brands want -they want t create brand lyalty, and music creates brand lyalty. read recently [in a survey by the branding agency Heartbeats nternatinal] that % f cmpanies plled stated that they wuld like t integrate their brand int music. As mre f these brands figure ut hw they can get int the music space and hw they can leverage the assets an artist has t ffer, think yu will see a bm in the spnsrship, endrsement and prmtin space. Public relatins is als becming a big area, and public relatins budgets within brands are very large, because if they can attach t an artist with a new tur r album cming ut, and the brand has a new prduct r relaunch r rebranding f smething, they're able t align with the artist and get press ut f it. The days f the traditinal tur spnsrship are ver. t's all abut, "Hw can we fully integrate ur brand with an artist? What tuch pints can we reach?" D artists need t be mre realistic these days abut their cash value t brands? These deals are nt always necessarily cash. call it "real estate." A lt f brands have real estate - whether it's ad space they're ding in print r nline r thrugh scial netwrking sites -that is f true value t an artist wh has a new tur r album. We're definitely seeing deals that may cnsist f cash and marketing assets, and in sme cases yu're seeing deals that are simply marketing assets. Spnsrship success is a mving target t quantify. Hw des either side determine if a deal wrks fr them? Each brand has a way t measure [return n investment], whether it's frm cases sld r devices sld, r in sme cases just trying t launch a new prduct, s they're just trying t get their name ut there. n the latter case, it's nt just a matter f measuring the exact number f cases sld this year versus last year. As fr the artist, success can be meas- used in tickets r albums sld, especially if they're being included in a marketing campaign that the brand has purchased n their behalf as part f a tur spnsrship r prmtin. s there a pint when cnsumer backlash kicks in tward spnsrships? Yes. While cnsumers are pen t spnsrships, they are keenly aware f frced partnerships. think the music industry as a whle has t be very careful in navigating the spnsrship space t make sure these deals are authentic. Because if they're nt authentic, the cnsumer is ging t push back. t's really imprtant t bring value t the cnsumer. What's the takeaway fr them? s it a dwnlad, is it the pprtunity t win a cncert in yur backyard, r t g in the studi while the artist is recrding an album, r sit n the side f the stage at a cncert? What are yu giving the cnsumer? What can hinder the deal - making prcess? Egs. And 'm nt talking abut artists. t has t be a win fr everybdy, fr the brand and the artists. Sme f the mst successful partnerships 've seen have cme when the first wrds ut f peple's muths when they sit at the table are, "What are yu trying t achieve here? Hw can help yu with that?" f yu were an artist n yur first album cycle and wanted a spnsrship deal, what wuld be yur apprach? wuld first figure ut what brand yu use n a daily basis and build a stry n hw it wuld be authentic, and then reach ut t that brand directly and try t get them t cme and see ne f yur shws. Yu have t knw wh yur fans are, what's yur demgraphic. That's the mst imprtant thing because brands want t make sure that their demgraphic matches up with the artist's demgraphic they're cnsidering frming a partnership with. Fr artists just starting ut, are there mre r fewer pprtunities fr expsure these days? t depends n if the artist cntrls all f their wn music, because yu d see mre independent artists releasing music n their wn. They can g t brands and TV shws and license their music fr little r n mney [ frm the brand]. think that sme f the recrd labels still have this miscnceptin that brands are ging t pay $00,000 t license a track fr ne cmmercial. That's hard t find right nw. With brands, marketing budgets are expanding right nw with the ecnmy bunding back, but they're still lking at every single dllar spent.

The unifrmity is part f the pint. And this Wal -Mart, like the cuntry's,00 thers, is filled with Disney merchandise. n the ty aisle, there's the life -size Sharpay prm dress frm "High Schl Musical." n the same aisle, there's a "Hannah Mntana" wig - and a tube f purple hair dye if yu want t emulate Hannah in her punk phase. n girls' apparel, there's a subtle Jnas Brthers shirt -it shws just the curly- haired utlines f the brthers against a striped backgrund -in supprt f their new Disney Channel shw, "Jnas." And there's a wall with enugh Disney- branded ty cell phnes t placate kids wh are still t yung fr the real thing. AUGUST, 00

20 Hitting their marks JNAS BRTHERS set f the Disney Chan 'Jnas.' nset: M wearing 'Jnas' Anyne with an - year -ld girl prbably has sme -r all - f these items in their huse, right next t the stack f "Hannah Mntana" DVDs and Jnas Brthers CDs. Even in these penny -pinching ecnmic times, the lure f Disney merch is resilient. Disney Cnsumer Prducts is a bright spt fr the Walt Disney C. in a dwn market. Fr the quarter that ended March, the cnsumer prducts divisin -a unit that cntrls prducts that generate $0 billin in glbal retail sales annually and versees everything frm manufacturing, designing, licensing and prmting Disney's intellectual prperty-saw revenue f $6 millin, up frm $ millin fr the same quarter in 00; a % increase. Fr the last tw quarters, cnsumer prduct revenue is mre than $. billin; up frm $. billin in 00, a % increase. (See chart fr the divisin's year- ver -year increase, page.) f that $0 billin in annual sales, music -related franchises like "Hannah Mntana" and "High Schl Musical" cnsist f almst 0 %- appraching $ billin. (By cntrast, the entire Warner Brs. Cnsumer Prducts unit -including "Batman" and "Harry Ptter" -has sales f $6 billin annually; the stable f Nickelden & Viacm Cnsumer Prducts - with prperties like "SpngeBb SquarePants" and "Dra the Explrer " -sells $ billin each year, accrding t industry estimates.) And the merchandise aimed at tween fans f these music- intensive shws has been a remarkable success; as recently as 00, "Hannah Mntana" was just a gleam n a screenwriter's cmputer. S what creates the magic in Disney's merch kingdm? The mnipresence f Disney brands helps create awareness -the Jnas Brthers, fr instance, release their albums n Disney's Hllywd Recrds, released their mvie thrugh Walt Disney Studis and have their sngs prmted n Disney Radi. But in recent years the cnsumer prducts divisin has been embldened by highly rated music -riented prgramming n its crprate sibling, cable's Disney Channel. t's a pwerful platfrm; accrding t Disney's 00 annual reprt, the Disney Channel has millin subscribers n cable in the United States and millin mre internatinally. By being invlved frm the pint f cnceptin f franchises like "High Schl Musical" and "Hannah Mntana," the relatinship amng Hllywd Recrds, the Disney Channel and Disney Cnsumer Prducts sets the standard fr leveraging several media platfrms t get merch ff the screen and int the hands f adring fans. "We have tw entry pints -it culd either be an existing musical act, a la the Jnas Brthers, wh cme thrugh Hllywd Recrds, r it culd be a star like Miley Cyrus wh is discvered in the pilt seasn fr the Disney Channel," says Jessi Dunne, executive VP f glbal licensing fr Disney Cnsumer Prducts. "nce the Disney Channel casting peple and the prducers recgnize that she has singing talent, that breeds a whle ther venue fr them, and therefre fr Hllywd Recrds. We're trying t reach that brad audience that lives under the Disney brand." MLEY, MEET MERCH. MERCH, MEET MLEY t was Cyrus' bvius appeal that three years ag started an entirely new divisin at Disney Cnsumer Prducts dedicated t tweens -kids between the ages f and. Dunne recalls meeting with Disney Channels Wrldwide president Rich Rss and president f entertainment Gary Marsh in 006, the first year that "Hannah Mntana" was n the air. "They said, 'There is smething here that yu guys shuld take a lk at,' " Dunne says. "There really wasn't a tween merchandise business in the general market. We frmed a team slely just t try and figure ut this new pprtunity. wish culd tell yu we are geniuses and we knew what we had, but we didn't." What they had, in fact, was a TV shw that was tailr -made fr merchandising pprtunities targeting an age range where girls are ld enugh t want t grw up, but yung enugh that they still want t play. n "Hannah Mntana," Cyrus plays a schlgirl by day and a pp star by night and is cnstantly tripped up in keeping her tw lives separate. What that means fr merchandising is that Disney can ffer prducts based n Miley Stewart- Cyrus' schlgirl persna -as well as the mre glam accutrements f Hannah Mntana, her pp star persna. "We wrk very clsely with the stylists f the shw t either help them see what we think wuld be ppular, r we take frm them what they are ding," Dunne says. "We need t g t retail with a pint f view, which is what we call a 'style guide.' " t's a practice that falls just shrt f prduct placement; girls can't buy precisely what Cyrus wears n the shw, but they can by smething similar. ( "Quite hnestly, a lt f what she wears is very expensive," Dunne says. "What we have at Wal -Mart is a very different cnsumer than yur Beverly Hills butique. ") The "style guide" is taken t retailers fr rders - mnths befre the prducts will hit stre shelves. The lng lead time was riginally dictated by the ty industry, which required that amunt f time fr the manufacturing prcess -but, in the current climate f trend tday, tacky tmrrw, it als serves the quick turnver f clthing merchandise ging frm fashin frward t faux pas. "As it relates t a lt f the Disney Channel [ franchises], the larger part f ur prduct pie will cme frm daywear -the T's and sweaters and jeans," Dunne says. "A - r - year -ld girl wants t dress up in cstumes t be Cinderella, but an - r - year -ld girl appreciates the fashin that Demi Lvat is wearing." Amng the "Hannah Mntana" merchandise available are handbags -with a guitar- shaped cell phne case -with a suggested retail f $0 at Nrdstrm's t a $00 electric guitar at Tys 'R' Us. (The accmpanying pcket amp csts $0.) And the merchandise isn't advertised with blunt, in -yurface, "wn what Miley has n the shw!" campaigns. Dunne says tween viewers are sphisticated in their respnse t merchandise advertising; they leave it t the viewers t make the cnnectin that the shirt they see in the stre is similar t the ne that was n the shw last week. The result? n 00, merch fr the "Hannah Mntana" and "High Schl Musical" franchises generated $00 millin in retail sales, Dunne says, and in 00, that figure jumped t $. billin. "Yeah," Dunne says with a laugh, "we knew it all alng." ASPRATN VS. ADMRATN ne f the secrets t Disney's success is the amunt f research it invests in the varius prduct lines -the cmpany knws kids, and it knws hw kids play. The retail thery behind the "Hannah Mntana" merchandise is ne f aspiratin, Dunne says. Girls lk up t Cyrus -either relating t her as a kid just trying t make it thrugh the schl week, r in wanting t be a singer that perfrms in frnt f adring crwds -and make their purchases accrdingly. Fr Jnas Brthers merchandise, hwever, cnsumer mtives are different. t was a lessn that Disney learned last summer during the debut f "Camp Rck," the made -fr -TV mvie musical n the Disney Channel that starred the Jnas Brthers and intrduced Demi Lvat (see stry, page ). Fr the merchandise related t "Camp Rck," Disney rlled ut items that were alng the same lines that were successful fr "Hannah Mntana " -clthing and hme décr. The sales results surprised thse n the merchandising team. "What we fund was that there's a real difference in when yu admire and adre teen bys as ppsed t when yu want t be this celebrity teen girl," Dunne says. "They wuldn't necessarily want their bedspreads t be 'Camp Rck.' They're ging t wear a T -shirt with Jnas -with either their lg r a different but fashinable interpretatin f their faces. Whereas with Miley, they want t lk like her." Disney has invested several years f research t better understand the tween custmer. As it discvered, there are tw separate age grups within the demgraphic: the "emerging tweens," - t 0- year -lds, and the "transitinal tweens," the - t - year -lds n the cusp f true teenagerdm. "The emerging tween, she des want a big silhuette f Hannah Mntana n the frnt f her T- shirt," Dunne says. "She is a fan f the shw and she wants everyne t knw it. A transitinal tween des lve the shw, but she wants smething mre subtle and fashinable." Fr the Jnas Brthers, the merch that's just nw hitting majr retailers fr back -t- schl seasn is inspired by their recently debuted Disney Channel shw, "Jnas." t takes place at a high schl where the students are required t wear unifrms, and as a result the Jnas merch fr the back -t- schl seasn is tailred and preppy. The "Jnas" clthing line was unveiled at the KABC sundstage in Glendale, Calif., where argyle sweater vests, frilly denim skirts with grsgrain belts and unisex ties ruled the catwalk. The varius items in the clthing line retail frm $0 t $ and will be available at Macy's, Sears, JCPenney and Wal -Mart. utside f the clthing merch, Dunne says the kind f prduct that lures fans f the Jnas Brthers shuld really cme as n surprise, as it's the traditinal prduct fr swning teenage girls everywhere: psters. "Yu have t get int the DNA f the shw and what it is abut it that appeals t them," Dunne says. "s there a play pattern invlved? s there a fantasy element? s the star already a musician r is she never ging t be a musician? Yu have a matrix f checkpints and that leads us t ur strategy against all ur different prperties." 0 BLLBARD AUGUST, 00

(Videgames fall under a different divisin, Disney nteractive Media Grup.) This results in a bggling array f gds being ffered t the cnsumer.

Want t ddle " heart Nick Jnas" n a ntebk that features a pht f him? Dne. Want t wallpaper yur lcker in stickers frm "High Schl Musical "? Disney says it has sld millin sticker packets frm that particular franchise. n terms f the amunt f mney that Disney reaps fr each f these prducts, it varies frm item t item and retailer t retailer, Dunne says. "t depends n what their margin strategy is. think everybdy recgnizes Wal -Mart as a lw -price leader -their margin is lwer relative [t a department stre]. There's a lt f different peple in the puzzle: ne f ur licensing partners, wh des the manufacturing -they get a piece f the pie and we get prceeds frm a ryalty." But it's the verall prduct diversity that appeals t retailers, Dunne says, and Disney spends a significant amunt f time crafting pitches based n the audience that each retailer attracts. "We feel that what a Target wants versus what a Wal- Mart wants is different," she says. "Anything that's super big and brad in nature -say, 'Ty Stry'- everyne is ging t get it. But within that umbrella, we plan ut unique applicatins r appraches t each f the retailers. Smetimes they say yes and smetimes they say n. And if they say n, then we just pitch it t smene else." Amy Dimnd, a spkeswman fr Sears Hlding, the parent cmpany f Sears and Kmart, says that bth retailers regularly see sales bsts f Disney merchandise at tw times f the year: back t schl and during the hliday seasn. As fr exclusives, Dunne says that each retailer is vying fr them, and they try t "treat everybdy fairly and equally." n 00, Wal -Mart, fr example, develped "Hannah Mntana" stres -within- the -stre that featured almst 0 prducts. "t really cmes dwn t having smene at either the buying level r at divisin management that believes in it," Dunne says. "We pitched 'Hannah Mntana' t everybdy - it was nt set up t be an exclusive prgram. But there was a senir -level persn at Wal -Mart wh just really culd feel that this was ging t be big and they decided t give it the real estate." Accrding t Wal -Mart spkeswman Melissa 'Brien, the stre -within -a -stre prmtin included apparel, bks, music and tys. "Disney prperties cntinue t be amng the mre imprtant licensed fferings at Wal -Mart, where we can ffer bth high value and an engaging shpping experience fr mms and kids," she says. Cyrus is currently develping a fashin line with Max Azria that will be sld at Wal -Mart; it's nt affiliated with Disney. Wal- Mart's nt the nly ne t see the value f the Disney music -merch bandwagn. Target and Disney ffered exclusives n "Camp Rck" merchandise, says Mark Schindele, Target senir VP f merchandising. "We develped a multilayered marketing prgram that included TV, radi, in -stre signing, weekly circular, nline and mre," he says. n terms f internatinal markets, the success f Disney Channel's music -related merch verseas is linked t tw elements; ne is the ppularity f the shw within thse cuntries, and tw, the amunt f turing the artist des in thse territries. "We lk at it market by market and if the shw is tracking, then we start t put ur plans tgether and pretty much mimic what has been dne in the U.S.," Dunne says. The ascendancy f "High Schl Musical" merch is a perfect case in pint: Disney estimates that the riginal incarnatin f the made -fr -cable mvie has been seen by 0 millin peple glbally since its debut n the Disney Channel in 006. "That ne was a little different because it's a mvie frmat," Dunne says. "t tk ff immediately." LCENSE T THRVE ne business that licenses Disney characters fr merchandise is Lyric Culture, a West Hllywd, Calif -based apparel cmpany. But Lyric Culture's versin f Disney merch is a bit different in that president Hanna Rchelle Schmieder wrks with Disney Cnsumer Prducts and Disney Music Publishing t create apparel items. Lyric Culture is nw rlling ut tw lines: ne fr tweens inspired by the Jnas Brthers, "Hannah Mntana" and "Wizards f Waverly Place" and anther fr tddlers that will incrprate lyrics frm classic Disney prperties like "Mary Pppins." Lyric Culture's artists went thrugh the riginal Disney animatin archives in Burbank, Calif., t seek inspiratin fr their hand -drawings fr the "Mary Pp - pins," "Peter Pan" and "Cinderella" merch, and as a result the prducts are true t the riginal films. "What we'll d with 'Mary Pppins' is have a silhuette f a spn and sugar with the lyric 'A spnful f sugar makes the medicine g dwn,' " Schmieder says. "We're nt ding in -yurface stuff." The "Hannah" gear, by cntrast, is '0s t- die -fr, with flurescent clrs inspired by the Cyndi Lauper and Madnna lks f that era. "Little girls are very sphisticated," she says. "t's punk and glam -but still age- apprpriate." Retail prices n these items starts at $ and ges up t $0, Schmieder says. n its deal with Lyric Culture, Disney earns ryalties based n a percentage f the whlesale price f the gds sld. This is a typical deal structure that Disney reaches with all its licensrs, Dunne says, althugh the exact amunt f ryalty varies frm prduct t prduct. (A Disney spkeswman declined t give specifics abut any licensing agreements.) Back at the Wal -Mart in the Valley, there's als a $ Jnas Brthers preppy shirt with matching sash -fashinable stuff by the standards f kid -friendly music merchandise.

23 brl RECR NELLY FURTAD BULDS N HER GLBAL STRENGTH WTH HER FRST SPANSH -LANGUAGE ALBUM BY LELA CB PHTGRAPHY BY MARK LDELL Nelly Furtad's first Spanish -language album is a mixture f design and circumstance, as s many grand plans ften are. There she was in the studi with her friend, guitarist James Bryan, attempting t help write the lyrics fr a sng titled "My Plan." But nthing wrked. She tried writing the lyrics in Prtuguese, but that didn't wrk either. And then, Alex Cuba -a Cuban -Canadian singer /sngwriter whse album Furtad had recently heard and liked -stpped by the studi t say hell. Why nt try the sng in Spanish, he suggested. Then he had a g at the lyrics. "And really liked it," Furtad recalls. "S we started really rganically writing sngs -me, him and James." "My Plan" evlved int "Mi Plan," Fur - tad's first full -length Spanish -language album, due Sept. as a jint venture between Furtad's wn label, Nellstar, and Universal Music Latin America. "Mi Plan" will be released simultaneusly in all f Universal's territries arund the wrld and may be the mst ambitius Spanish - language release by a mainstream star. While it's cmmn fr Latin crssver artists like Enrique glesias and Shakira t release albums in Spanish, these always have included at least ne English versin fa single fr mainstream radi. Even Christina Aguilera's "Mi Reflej," her 000 Spanish -language album, cnsisted mainly f translatins f English -language hits -and she has a Latin surname. Fr Furtad, wh has recrded Spanish cllabratins but wh isn't Latin in the strictest sense fthe wrd, recrding slely in that language is a gutsy mve. "T me, music is a language in itself," Furtad says. " knw it sunds cliché, but that's what my experience has been arund the wrld. think sme peple, n matter what, are nt ging t like it because it's nt the language they speak. But sme f the peple wh listen t music in a different kind f way, they'll like it." Given Furtad's glbal success, hwever, a Spanish -language album may be a gd bet. "Mi Plan" cmes in the wake f Fur - tad's 006 album "Lse," which sld mre than millin cpies in the United States, accrding t Nielsen SundScan, and mre than 0 millin cpies wrldwide, accrding t Universal. The FP ranked it at N. n its list f tp -selling albums fr 006 and 00. ts hit single, "Prmiscuus," was the furth -best -selling nline track in the wrld in 006, accrding t FP numbers, ahead f hits like Shakirá s "Hips Dn't Lie" (which "Prmiscuus" als bested in the United States, accrding t SundScan) and the Fray's "Hw t Save a Life." Such a sales perfrmance is pretty hard t fllw. Ding s in anther language has rarely been attempted. But while Fur - tad is treading unknwn waters with a full Spanish -language release, she has already tested the Latin market with a handful f cllabratins. Mst ntable amng them is "Tu Ftgrafia," which she recrded with Juanes fr his 00 album "Un Día Nrmal." The sng peaked at N. n Billbard's Ht Latin Sngs chart in 00 and als tpped charts in several Latin American cuntries. Beynd Latin America, her star appeal is s big that the first single frm the new album, "Mans Al Aire," is already climbing the Eurpean radi charts, this week hitting Ns. and in Germany and taly, respectively. This week it debuts at N. n Ht Latin Sngs. "t's a very interesting prject because it fllws the philsphy we've been espusing fr a while nw: That increasingly, language is less fa barrier [in marketing music]," says Jesús López, chairman f Universal Music Latin America /berian Peninsula, whse rster includes glesias and Juanes. "Fans fllw their idls, independently f the language the artist perfrms in." López cites French artist Flrent Pagny as an example. The singer /sngwriter this year released an all- Spanish language album, "C'est Cmme Ça," which reached N. n France's sales chart and is still in the tp 0. Pagny had never recrded an entire album in Spanish, but he's linked t the culture thrugh his marriage t an Argentine wman. And Pagny desn't have Furtad's glbal name, which has allwed fr a wrldwide release with high sales expectatins. Hpes are particularly strng fr Germany, where Furtad sld millin cpies f her past album; fr taly, where the single "Mans Al Aire" already hit N. n itunes taly; and fr Spain, the natural market fr a Spanish -language album. The biggest challenge might be inside the United States, perhaps the ne market where crssver artists are wrked in separate ways given mainstream radi's reluctance t play Spanish -language music. Still, Universal is planning t effectively straddle bth wrlds and aiming fr media expsure in bth languages. Universal Music Latin president Walter Klm says that in the mainstream market, the fcus will be prime -time TV and majr supprt frm MTV n all its channels. Althugh the sngs are in Spanish, the vides will include English subtitles f what Furtad calls her wn interpretatins f the lyrics rather than direct translatins. Universal Music Latin will als target mainstream radi dwn the line with the same Spanish - language singles, althugh several remixes by well -knwn DJs (DJ Tiest and Rbbie Rivera have already dne remixes f "Mans Al Aire ") will be wrked n the club and dance circuit. As far as the U.S. Latin market is cncerned, Universal is aiming fr a N. radi hit and will implement an aggressive nline and viral campaign. t includes an itunes cuntdwn, where fur Furtad singles will be released and prmted n the nline stre prir t the full album's release. Hwever, Klm says, the biggest challenge in prmting a singer /sngwriter wh isn't purely Latin is cmmunicating the album's authenticity. "We have t be very clear in cnveying t the audience and the media that this album isn't a bunch f sngs translated t Spanish, but that it was thught, created and executed entirely in Spanish," he says. AUGUST, 00

24 While Furtad's Spanish fluency is prbably at 0 % -60%, her mve t recrd in that language isn't capricius. Given her Prtuguese ancestry and her fluency in that language, Spanish was a natural extensin, and she listened t Latin music in her teens. Nw married t Cuban -American prducer Demaci "Dem" Castelln, Furtad recrded "Ftgrafía" with Juanes and later reciprcated, inviting Juanes t cllabrate n the "Lse" album track "Te Busqué," which was recrded in Spanish and bilingual versins. She als recrded "Slippery Sidewalks" with experimental tang ensemble Bajfnd Tang Club. The sng was included n the grup's 00 album "Mar Azul" and later remixed in Spanish as " Baldsas Mjadas." Furtad als cllabrated with Calle fr a remix f "N Hay gual" that was included in the internatinal versin f "Lse" and a remix f Wisin & Yandel's "Sexy Mvimient." While neither f these tracks gained tractin at U.S. Latin radi, they did braden Furtad's Latin audience in ther cuntries. Mre imprtantly, given the success f Busqué" in many Latin markets, nterscpe began asking fr ther translated sngs. Furtad turned in "En Mans De Dis" (a translatin f "n Gd's Hands ") and "Td L Buen Tiene Un Final" (a translatin f "All Gd Things Cme t an End "). Bth tracks were sent t radi, and nterscpe pushed Furtad fr a Spanish album t capitalize n the success. " started t try, but didn't want t d it," Furtad says. "'m nt the biggest fan f translatins in general. S basically, put it n hld." But alng the way, Furtad als met Andrés Reci, wh frmerly wrked with Juanes' management cmpany. Reci, wh nw wrks with Furtad and is executive prducer and A &R rep f Plan," intrduced her t ne f his clients, prducer Juli Reyes. Reyes, in turn, had wrked with Marc Anthny and Jennifer Lpez. With Reyes, Furtad penned "Tma De Mí," her first full - fledged Spanish -language sng. Reyes sent it t Lpez, wh recrded it fr the sundtrack t the 00 film "El Cantante" and used the sng fr the film's end credits. That changed Furtad's perspective. "When wrte the sng with Juli, had n idea anyne was ging t like it," Furtad says. "And then Jennifer liked it and that gave me a little cnfidence and said, 'Gd, can express myself.' " n ct., 00, Furtad entered the studi with Cuba and Bryan and began writing fr her new album. She eventually wrte Spanish -language tracks with different c- writers and whittled her the list t, including cllabratins with Jsh Grban, Julieta Venegas, Alejandr Fernández, Juan Luis Guerra and Spain's Cncha Buika and La Mala Rdriguez. The resulting album is full f whimsy, mving frm dance t pp t flk, and harks back t Furtad's 000 debut album, "Wha, Nelly!," in its many textures and clrs. Althugh "Mans Al Aire" is an uptemp dance track, verall the album has an rganic, mre acustic feel, and n tracks like "Baj tra Luz," the feeling is ne f easy cmradeship. nstead f releasing "Mi Plan" with nterscpe, Furtad recrded the album under her wn label, Nellstar, and struck a ne -ffjint venture deal with Universal Music Latin America, t which Furtad delivers all the creative aspects -including the album, vides and artwrk -and Universal markets, prmtes and distributes the album. (Furtad is still signed slely t nter - scpe fr her English releases.) The album's glbal launch is crdinated by Universal Music Latin America's ffices in Miami and Universal Music Grup nternatinal's ffices in Lndn. "We make the vides, the album; we cntrl the artwrk and we deliver this t Universal, and tgether we market the album," says Furtad's manager, Chris Smith. "The imprtant thing we cntrl is the entire creative directin f wh she wants t be and her image. n rder t btain such cntrl, Nelly had t put her mney where her muth is." The decisin t g with Universal's Latin arm hinged n the cmpany's expertise, Smith says. "Universal Latin already had the machine [in place]. didn't want t create a machine fr this prject. wanted t be part f a machine." Universal has lng released English- and Spanish -language artists. Enrique glesias, fr example, releases his English- language albums thrugh nterscpe and his Spanish albums thrugh Universal Music Latin America. All releases are glbal and marketed in each regin by the apprpriate cmpany. n the United States, fr example, Universal Music Latin always releases and wrks Universal's Spanish -language releases, regardless f the label they riginate frm. Cnversely, Universal Music Grup nternatinal helped crdinate the release and prmtin f Juanes' Spanish -language albums in Eurpe and Asia. Smith stresses that "Mi Plan" will be wrked arund the wrld with the same impetus as if it were any ther Furtad album. "We're lking at Nelly Furtad, the brand, being released glbally in markets that already understand wh Nelly is," says Smith, wh isn't unduly cncerned abut the language issue. After all, he ntes, Furtad singing in English sld strngly in markets that aren't English- speaking, but where fans cnnected meldically with the music. Naturally, Spanish isn't as universal a language as English. As a result, the marketing and prmtin f Plan" demands an extra level f utreach targeting Spanish- speaking cmmunities and media in each cuntry. n sme cases, Smith says, the cmpany will hire "lcal experts that will make sure we cver the apprpriate radi and publicatins that are available in that market." But deals haven't yet been finalized. n Latin America, hwever, the fcus is n psitining Fur- tad as a sngwriter wh cnceived and wrte her album in Spanish, says Jsé Puig, VP f Latin marketing fr Universal Music Latin America. Aside frm having her single sent t radi in all markets, Furtad already spent a week ding prmtin in Miami with Latin American media utlets and then will travel t Mexic. Als, fr the first time in her career, Furtad and her management are actively lking fr majr spnsrships, althugh deals haven't yet been struck. n the meantime, Puig says, Universal is in cnversatins with several mbile carriers and manufacturers in Latin American territries fr deals that invlve prelading cntent frm "Mi Plan" nt cell phnes, smething the label has dne successfully with acts ranging frm Juanes t U. Furtad is slated t visit ther Latin American cuntries in 00, in tandem with her glbal tur, althugh dates haven't been finalized. Smith is negtiating t prduce a live shw prir t the tur featuring Furtad and her guests, which culd air n TV. And Furtad hasn't discarded the pssibility f recrding an English -language versin f ne f her new Spanish -language sngs. "f any f the sngs is a big crssver hit, then maybe 'll attempt it," she says. "But wuldn't d it unless g t the studi and it wrks. That's why did the Spanish album, s it culd be its wn, breathing thing."..

Hwever, he believes her fans are already well aware f her capacity t prduce nn -English material, while Smith is cnvinced prgrammers will embrace the new single, given the glbal success f "Lse."

RCK BY MKAEL WD The Lne Ranger: BRENDAN BENSN Sl Shw Brendan Bensn Gets By Withut Help Frm His Friends Brendan Bensn harbrs n illusins abut why peple may knw his name. "'ve been making recrds n my wn fr a lng time," the Nashville -based singer /sngwriter says, "but it wasn't until the Racnteurs that experienced real success." The Racnteurs, f curse, are the ppular garage -rck utfit Bensn frmed in 00 with Jack White f the White Stripes, and Bensn isn't exaggerating abut the spike in ppularity: At,000 cpies (accrding t Nielsen SundScan), the Racnteurs' "Brken By Sldiers" has sld nearly 0 times as many cpies as Bensn's best- selling sl album, 00's "The Alternative t Lve." But, althugh Bensn says he's willing t d whatever it takes t prmte his new album, "My ld, Familiar Friend" (due Aug. frm AT), there's ne thing he wn't allw: a shrink - wrap sticker describing him as a member f the Racnteurs. " want t d this n my wn merit," Bensn says, "and if it's successful, 'd like it t be smething can be prud f, t be able t say, 'This is my accmplishment,' withut riding n anyne's cattails. The ther thing is, peple wh dn't knw my sl stuff and wh are nly fans f the Racnteurs, they might be disappinted if this recrd is marketed that way. t's really nthing like the Racnteurs, s it's a matter f nt tricking peple." Like Bensn's earlier sl wrk, "My ld, Familiar Friend" is an impeccably crafted pwer -pp gem lng n catchy meldies and lvelrn lyrics. Uptemp numbers like "A Whle Lt Better" and "Pised and Ready" wrk up sme respectable guitar fuzz, but the Gil Nrtn -prduced set als cntains much mre delicate material, such as "Gnwhere," a dreamy, Tdd Rundgren -esque ballad. Accrding t AT marketing directr Jn Salter, the label shares Bensn's desire t sell "Friend" withut "piggybacking ff the Jack White cnnectin." (Bensn says with a laugh that he was surprised AT agreed t frg the sticker.) Naturally, Salter says, the label wants t put the new album in frnt f the Racnteurs' sizable fan base -"but in an rganic way that acknwledges Brendan's histry and the beautiful recrds he's made." Salter calls AT's marketing campaign a multifaceted ne that "includes everything ": lcal, reginal and natinal press; late -night TV; e -mail messaging; and blg exclusives. n the radi frnt, Salter pints t the label's success at triple A statins with acts like Gmez and My Mrning Jacket, but he als says that mdern rck radi is nt ut f the questin. "There's a lt f Racnteurs radi lve ut there." Bensn's manager, Alan Mintz, says his gal is t "reintrduce" his client as a sl artist in the wake f the Racnteurs' mainstream success. "There's basically a millin Brendan Bensn fans ut there already wh just dn't knw they're Brendan Bensn fans," Mintz says. "This album is a cnfirmatin f what a special sl artist he is and hw the Racnteurs are a great piece f that spectrum -but they're just ne piece." ndeed, Bensn says he already has his next tw nn - Racnteurs prjects in the can: an album f uttakes frm the "Friend" sessins and a du album with the yung cuntry signer Ashley Mnre, whm he met last year when the Racnteurs drafted Mnre and Ricky Skaggs t help recrd a bluegrass versin f "ld Enugh." "'ve always srt f gt a cuple f things cking," Bensn says. "But 've blcked ut at least the next year fr this recrd. 'm in it fr the lng haul."

Unused t the cld but eager t recrd, the band brrwed sweaters and spent 0 hurs a day punding ut live takes until an album materialized. " saw it as an exrcism," guitarist Mpumi Mcata says. "We've been grwing in the five years we've been tgether up t this pint, and recrding was like trying t remember ur past. We needed t get smething ut f us quickly." After a feverish three -week recrding perid, BLK J KS (prnunced "black jacks ") emerged with "After Rbts," an aggressive epic that shwcases jazz, prg -rck and pp thrugh a rhythmic African lens. Set fr a Sept. release n Secretly»NRTH STAR Miguel Pveda "is the mst imprtant flamenc singer arund," says Javier Pus, Universal Music Spain directr f strategic marketing fr classics, jazz and flamenc. Fr prf, Pus can pint t Pveda having been enscnced in the tp five f Spain's Media Cntrl chart fr the past few weeks with his June release, the duble -album "Cplas Del Querer." Flamenc and its clse cusin cpla remain hugely ppular genres in Spain, particularly in the music's suthern heartland f Andalucia. Pveda, hwever, isn't an Andalucian wh grew up t the sund f gypsy music -rather, he hails frm nrthern Spain, near the Catalan capital f Barcelna. " was a strange kid," Pveda says. "While thers f my age played sccer, my greatest treasure was the radi cassette. 'd erase Mike ldfield and Alan Parsns frm my dad's cassettes and Canadian, "Rbts" is BLK J KS' prper intrductin t U.S. audiences after mnths f munting hype. Just Music will als release the album Sept. in Suth Africa. Befre the band set its sights n the States, BLK JKS cut their teeth turing in Suth Africa, and by 00 they had becme a staple at festivals there. " was n the Western Cape that March, and peple tld me abut this band frm Jhannesburg that was the best in the cuntry," says manager Knx Rbinsn, wh's been with the grup since August 00. n March 00, the fursme landed n the cver f Fader magazine and was invited t perfrm at that year's Suth by Suthwest festival.

28 ALUVS UR LADY PEACE Burn Burn Prducer: Paine Maida Calitin Entertainment Release Date: July Nearly fur years have passed since Canadian rck band ur Lady Peace released a studi album and the band cut ties with lngtime label Sny and prducer Bb Rck. This newfund sense f freedm seems t have carried ver t ur Lady Peace's seventh album, "Burn Burn." Fingerprints f the band's past are all ver it, frm the frantic basslines and guitar blasts fund n the eccentric "Mnkey Brains" t stripped -dwn rcker "White Flags." Nthing n the new set is quite as cmpelling as the 00 hit, "Smewhere ut There," but the saring, pian - driven "Never Get ver Yu" is prf that singer Raine Maida can still write a killer ballad. And while the first sin- gle, "All Yu Did Was Save My Life," prvides sme much - needed bite, "Burn Burn" is ultimately ballad -heavy and ne - dimensinal.-el MAGNLA ELECTRC C.

Secretly Canadian Release Date: July Given Magnlia Electric C. singer /guitarist Jasn Mlina's prlific presence in cuntry-rck during the past decade, "Jsephine," his first prper album in three years, feels like the end f a lng drught. Backed by a fine team f multi - instrumentalists, Mlina delivers a harrwing set f sngs with shrt running times and minimalist arrangements. "Map f the Falling Sky" is a slw, defeated rcker with jagged guitar strumming, while "The Rck f Ages" is a hymn -like de t secluded lve that hinges n a twinkling pian riff. Mlina's steely vice remains frnt and center, while he keeps guitar sls and gaudy percussin t a minimum -the lean apprach keeps the band fcused n the spare tne it wants t capture. "Jsephine" may nt be as instantly lvable as Mlina's lighter fare, but his vcal tenacity and restrained sngwriting reward repeated listens and signify a welcme return. -JSL JHN PATTUCC Remembrance Prducer: Jhn Patitucci Cncrd Jazz Release Date: Aug.

Highlights n the set -where the musician displays rhythmic authrity n acustic and electric bass -include Lvan dancing with the tenr sax n "Snny Side," while Blade instigates the beat. The album clses with tw gems: the slw -temp blues cut "Play Ball" and the sublime title track, n which Patitucci pays tribute t influential saxphnist Michael Brecker (wh died frm leukemia in 00) with an emtinal delivery n tw verdubbed six- string basses. -D FRANK TURNER Lve re & Sng Prducer: Ben Llyd Epitaph Recrds Release Date: July Frank Turner, wh previusly frnted U.K. punk band Millin Dead, fund his calling as a singer /sngwriter after expsure t the music f Bb Dylan and Jhnny Cash. n his secnd album, "Lve re & Sng" (riginally issued in 00 in England), Turner's charisma billws frth with his whip -smart lyricism and gripping arrangements.

Perhaps the mst captivating aspect f Trnt -based Beynd the Pale's new album, "Pstcards," is the grup's ability t blend Jewish klezmer music with a variety f Eastern Eurpean flk music. Fr the 6- sng set, Beynd the Pale cfunder /mandlin player Eric Stein teamed with clarinetist Martin van de Ven and Serbian musicians Alekasandar Gajic (vilin), Mils Ppvic (accrdin) and Bgdan Djukic (percussin). Gajic's "Back t the Beginning," which was written during a bmbing raid in Belgrade, Serbia, is prgressive and Balkan. "Meditatin" has a dark, bittersweet quality that's well - knwn t Serbian brass bands, but the sng is an arrangement f a Hasidic nigun (wrdless meldy). Stein's riginal "Split Decisin" may we as much t David Grisman as Eastern Eu- rpe. And "Magura" features a lping bassline ver a blend f mandlin and fiddle -a sund reminiscent f Texas swing, plka and klezmer. -PVV SHALA DÚRCAL Crazón Rancher Prducer: Manuel Cazares EM Televisa Music Release Date: July Pp -mariachi artist Shaila Dúrcal will frever be assciated with her late mther, the legendary singer Rci Dúrcal.

A bnus pp versin f Slís' "Tu Cárcel" pairs Dúrcal's smth v- cals with a pp- cuntry back - line. t's a sng that wuld surely impress Shania Twain. -ABY pkalmve0ltiplm)n & EDTED BY MTCHELL PETERS (ALBUMS) AND MNCA HERRERA (SNGLES) CNTRBUTRS: Ayala Ben - Yehuda, Ginger Clements, Mnica Herrera, Jessica Letkemann, Jasn S.

The lyrics are sung frm the perspective f a father wh leaves an utging message n his answering machine, urging his runaway daughter t cme hme. t's a well- written tune, and althugh the subject matter is heartwrenching, Carrll's vcal perfrmance isn't maudlin. nstead, he ffers a subtle, thughtful delivery that brings ut each nuance f emtin in the lyric. At the risk f giving away the ending, it's a reslutin likely t make the listener smile thrugh tears. Carrll's vice has a wrn, lived -in timbre that wrks especially well n this cmpelling ballad and shuld help draw further attentin t his impressive new album. -DEP JAY SEAN FEATURNG LL WAYNE Dwn (:) Prducers: J Remy, Bbby Bass Writers: varius Publishers: varius Cash Mney /Universal Republic Jay Sean brings his interna- JUSTN BEBER ne Time (:) Prducers: JB & Crrn, C.

But with Vedder mixed dwn amng Stne Gssard and Mike McCready's warm guitars and the thrat -ripping mments f his delivery smewhat muted, there's a sense f reserve that makes "The Fixer" a tease fr hearing PJ in its uninhibited natural setting: live. -JL tinally successful blend f pp stateside with the debut single frm "My wn Way," the singer's first U.S. album set fr an ct. release.

Nw he's back with N.. His latest, "Sunds Like Life t Me," is his highest -charting single since 006's " Just Came Back Frm a War." Hlding curt at N. n the chart, "Sunds Like Life t Me" is the secnd single frm Wrley's new album, "Sunds Like Life" (Strudavarius Recrds). " can't believe tk fr granted that had my sngs playing n the radi," Wrley says. "Yu can't d that. t's a big deal." "Sunds Like Life" is the singer's first album fr Strudavarius, funded last year by award - winning Nashville prducer James Strud. The signing reunites Wrleywith Strud, the frmer DreamWrks Nashville principal wh discvered and c- prduced the singer during Wrley's DreamWrks tenure. Befre signing with Strudavarius, Wrley recrded fr the nw - defunct 0 Music, an independent label established by fellw cuntry star Neal McCy. Using his wn mney, Wrley recrded "Sunds Like Life" with his rad band -the Krew- rather than Nashville studi musicians. "t was challenging in sme ways," he recalls. "But we gt a lt f different grves than if we'd just had Nashville's A studi players n it." The "Sunds" single was written by Wrley with frequent cllabratr Wynn Varble and Phil 'Dnnell. Perhaps the mst interesting cut n the new album is "Dn't Shw Up (f Yu Can't Get Dwn)." t's a swampy number that includes guest vcals by Jamey Jhnsn, Jhn Andersn, Jhn Cwan, Whisperin' Bill Andersn, Mel Tillis, Steve Harwell f Smash Muth and ra Dean. Wrley, wh c -wrte eight f the album's cuts, says he "didn't really want t g back int a majr -label situatin. felt 'd be better -served at a privately wned cmpany that wuld give me the pprtunity t d what d. We tk the recrd t [Strudavarius] and said, `fyu like it, yu like it, and if yu dn't, yu dn't.' And they lved it." "Sunds Like Life," Wrley's sixth album, has sld,000 cpies since its June release, accrding t Nielsen SundScan. His best -selling album is 00's "Have Yu Frgtten?," which has sld 6,000. During his 0 -year career, Wrley has sld. millin albums. Cuntry statins WPCV Lakeland, Fla., and WQDR Raleigh, N.C., are amng the utlets playing the new single. "We like stry sngs and `Sunds Like Life t Me' recunts real -life situatins and everyday challenges that flks are facing," WPCV PD Mike James says. Describing Wrley as "a gd fit fr the cuntry life grup with his unique and distinctive vice," James ntes his statin still plays the singer's three Billbard N. s: " Miss My Friend," "Awful, Beautiful Life" and "Have Yu Frgtten?" WQDR PD Lisa McKay says the current single carries "a nice tugh -lve message. [Wrley] picks sngs that resnate with the everyman." n additin t expanding his radi success, Wrley is cncentrating n further grwing his brand. His plans include the Wrley Bird Café: Featuring a live perfrmance space, the eatery will be amng the venues hused in the Cuntry Crssing entertainment cmplex scheduled t pen utside Dthan, Ala., later this year. Strud is als invlved in the prject, as are several f Wrley's Strudavarius labelmates, including Jhn Andersn and Lrrie Mrgan. Develper Rnnie Gilley and his partners "have sme incredible aspiratins and think they're ging t be able t pull it ff," Wrley says f the cmplex. "Yu dn't have t sell 0 millin recrds t be successful. But at the same time if we synergize and use the mney that's being generated, we'll be able t brand me better and get my [visibility] up where we want t be. n a tugh ecnmy, that's a psitive thing."... re n the club: PET SHP BYS 6 THE BYS ARE BACK Breaking a tie with Depeche Mde, the Pet Shp Bys nw wear the crwn fr charting the mst N.s n the Ht Dance Club Sngs chart amng dus /grups. f SAYNG YES T LVE The Pet Shp Bys set a recrd fr the mst N. is n Billbard's Ht Dance Club Sngs chart amng dus and grups as "Lve Etc." hits the tp slt. t's the veteran act's ninth tpper and first since "Break Lve" reached N. n the Nv. 0, 00, chart.

At N., the album's debut marks the peak psitin in the band's -year career and signals the beginning f a fruitful relatinship with the indie label. nstead f using tls like Twitter t market "Farm," Jagjaguwar fcused n press. "We wanted t present the album as a classic," Jagjaguwar partner Chris Swansn says. "Fr us, the gal was t d smaller- market turing until the album came ut, and then hit the larger markets while trying t get the album in stres." T accmplish this, Jagjaguwar packaged a bnus disc f new material and cvers with the first 0,000 cpies f "Farm," which helped retail stres stck the album. Dinsaur Jr. als played a run f U.S. dates this spring and perfrmed the album's scrching pener, "Pieces," n "Late Night With Jimmy Falln" June, tw days after the album's release. t Wrking his magic: CARLS BAUTE has since sld,000, accrding t Nielsen SundScan. With its fuzzed -ut guitar riffs and meldic chruses, "Farm" has earned critical acclaim and strng wrd -fmuth calling it a return t the tri's glry days. The grup's cmeback, hwever, didn't cme easy. After releasing three guitar -heavy albums n SST Recrds and amassing a dedicated fllwing in the late '0s, tensin between guitarist J. Mascis and bassist Lu Barlw eventually led t the latter's departure. Dinsaur Jr. sldiered n, signing t Sire Recrds in 0.

Dinsaur Jr. released "Beynd" -the first album featuring the band's riginal lineup since 's "Bug " -in 00 n Fat Pssum Recrds. The album's rich textures surprised rck fans wh had written ff the band. But Mascis had never lst sight f the tri's natural chemistry. "t was easier writing sngs with all f the members in mind," he says. "We culd just stay with what we knw and make the sund we've always made." Fr "Farm," the band hled up in East Hamptn, Mass., last winter and recrded fr fur mnths. During that perid, the tri was cntacted by Jagjaguwar, whse rster (Bn ver, Ladyhawk) cmpelled the band t sign a multi -album deal in February. The act will begin a Eurpean tur Aug. befre returning stateside fr a fall trek in ctber. While Dinsaur Jr. plans t keep recrding with Jagj aguwar, the band is fcused n making the mst f its rad stints. "We'll have sme ther things in the wrks, but we're nt lking t far ahead," Mascis says. "We're just gearing up t survive this tur." THE YEAR F BAUTE With his blnd, almst Scandinavian gd lks, Venezuelan Carls Baute desn't fit the typical Latin American pp idl mld. But he has cnnected with Spanish fans wh are setting dwnlad sales recrds fr his latest single, "Clgard En Tus Mans" (Warner Music Spain). Baute's sultry duet with Spanish star Marta Sánchez is certified eight times platinum (0,000 cpies) in Spain- unprecedented sales fr the dwnlad era, accrding t Warner.

Baute has imprved the shw's ratings, bsting the Cuatr TV channel's share fr the p.m. -6 p.m. time slt frm % t 0% since the shw started in March, accrding t the channel. But the singer says he was "scared" abut hsting. "As 'm a musician, why wuld want t be N. n TV if 'm N. in the recrd charts?" he asks. Warner internatinal explitatin manager Adriana Gnzález says there was a cncern abut "image saturatin." But she adds, "This really is 'the year f Baute.'
