It will be THE ultimate launching pad for the very best independent artists and songs,  providing unsigned or independent artists with unprecedented opportunities and… even record deals!

It will be syndicated across the USA on ABC Radio Networks, with a potential audience of 105 million listeners.

VOTES = AIRPLAY!
You need to log your votes NOW. Just go to our Fame Games Profile and vote for your favourite song(s).

THE BIGGER PICTURE

‘Making it’ in the music business is infamously difficult. Fame Games tries to help address this challenge by giving independent artists access to network radio. It’s already an incredibly powerful A&R platform, bringing together record labels, publishers and managers from around the world to support independent music.

Presently, there is NO OTHER initiative like this in the world!

Fame Games is now in the process of building an Artist Development company which will help artists get organized in a big way – at no cost!

The team is working hard on introducing a new music business model which will bring fairness and new life to this whole game, and the artists will be the primary beneficiaries! Building a FAIR bridge between the independent community and the major labels! This will include management, press & promotion + song licensing with publishing and label contacts across the States and Britain!

THANK YOU!

Fame Games Motto – “Out to save the world from bad music.”

Special thanks goes to NAB Radio and Head Case Radio for promoting the Effigy Awards in their blog & newsletter, respectively.
We do truly appreciate your support!!

LOWVEE COLE and her FAIRY ON THE STAIRS album…

Of course there’s always a lot goes on behind the scenes that you, the listener, doesn’t know about, or indeed should really even care about – as long as we keep playing great music, right?

Right! Except that a few of you might be kinda interested in what goes on at NAB, so here’s a few things that’s been happening lately.

At Southern Studio #2 we’ve updgraded to the latest version of SAM Broadcaster. It’s been used here since the start of broadcasting here back in April 2007, and has always proved both reliable and flexible enough for our needs.

We’ve just moved this onto a totally dedicated computer. We kind of had this before, but we also ran the station email, and web sites from this machine as well. Not any more. It’s just doing the radio stuff, and nothing more.

Just in are another dozen or so CDs from new artists, that we’ve requested after listening to their demos or promo tracks, and we’ll have those ripped and into the library soon.  Here at NAB we rip to 192K mp3, and stream at 128k, by the way.  We’d love to go all the way up to 320K, but it’s way too expensive for the extra fidelity you get. Ideally, AACplus at 48K is better than 128K mp3, but it limits the amount of listeners, in that many folks simply don’t have AAC set up on their computers. It’s quite easy to do, with a plug-in for WiMP, and Winamp plays AAC right out of the box. Still those that have other programs like Music Match Jukebox and other lesser known players, can handle it.

The Deuce Show has become a regular Tuesday afternoon slot at 3pm, and Gabby & The Wolf are brightening up many folks listening pleasure on a Saturday evenings from 8-10pm with their very own mix of chat and music.

That’s about it for now folks, keep listening, and keep reading this blog to find out all that’s happening at NAB Radio, where you’ll hear music you never even knew you liked!

Yes, we have a brand new show coming to NAB Radio on June 3rd, at 3pm EDT. We’re going to be doing an hour show each week, featuring bands registered with Deuce Management and Promotion from the United Kingdom.

There is some great music coming out of there, and we’re pleased to be able to feature some here, at NAB Radio.

Prevent people from hacking your myspace profile
Phishing, stealing your online identity on Myspace Stealing your online identity on Myspace

Have you noticed weird bulletins posted by your friends lately? Instead of surveys and games, it looks like they’re advertising ring tones for songs they don’t even like, or telling you to smoke pot when they’re not even a pot smoker? You may also see comments advertising a macy’s gift card worth money or receive a video in an inbox message. Video’s don’t travel through inbox messages unless they are from hackers. If you receive or see one of these don’t click on it and don’t try to respond using that link, but do try in a separate message all together to let your friend know, it probably means their MySpace profile has been stolen, and yours could be next

Profile thieves are stealing MySpace profiles left and right so they can spam other people, and in some cases, they manage to steal more than just your MySpace.

Here’s how they usually steal it:

They post a message, bulletin, or comment containing a Flash file. It might be disguised as a game, or lately there’s one that says, “Click here if you like to smoke pot.” But in reality, it’s just a trap to steal your MySpace.

Without you realizing it, the Flash file automatically redirects you to a different website where the thief has set up a copycat of the MySpace login page. What it looks like to you is, “Oh, stupid MySpace logged me out again.” And so you enter your user-name and password, and bingo — they just stole your profile. Since you were on a copycat site, it didn’t log you in. It just stored the email and password you entered in a big file, and now that profile thief is going to use your account to spam people.

But the danger doesn’t end there. The person who stole your profile knows that you can always change your password and lock them out of your account. So now, they try to take over your profile entirely. If they see your email address ends in yahoo.com or hotmail.com, they go to your email login page and try to log in to your email account with the same password. Many people use the same password for their email account and their MySpace profile, and if you’re one of those people, now the thief has access to your email, too.

And check this out — once they have access to your email, they can start sending lost password requests to PayPal, AIM, Yahoo Messenger, eBay, or anywhere else you might have an account, and they can now reset your passwords on other systems, and even change the email address on your MySpace profile to their own address so you can never log in again!

Don’t be fooled into thinking that MySpace will let you back in to your profile once it gets stolen and you can no longer log in.

If this happens, MySpace will ask you to send a digital picture of yourself so they can see if you are pictured in the account that you say was stolen. If the spammer has deleted all of the face pics in your profile (which they usually do), then MySpace won’t do anything at all because you have no way to prove the profile is really yours.
But if they see your picture in the account you say was stolen, MySpace still won’t give you access to the account — they’ll just DELETE IT. And now the spammer can’t use it anymore, but you will have lost all of your messages, photos, and comments and you’ll have to start all over again.

Protect Yourself from Profile Thieves Change your MySpace password right now – or right after you think you may have entered your password into a website that may have stolen your password. If you do it right after they stole it, they will not have the time to use your account information. Even if you haven’t seen weird bulletins yet, your account info may have been stolen already and the thief just hasn’t used it yet. They steal thousands of profiles at a time, and yours could be sitting in some spammer’s list just waiting to be hijacked.

Change the password to your email address right now. It’s no good just changing your MySpace password, because if they can get into your email account, they can still steal your profile.

IMPORTANT:Make sure your new e-mail password and your new MySpace password aren’t the same ! (your online banking account should obviously have a unique password that you don’t use anywhere else) So you need three unique passwords at least: one for unimportant websites like myspace, one for your e-mail, one for your online banking. If you think myspace is important – make that four.

Never click on a link in a bulletin, message, or comment that looks suspicious. It’s probably a trap to steal your profile.

If it EVER looks like MySpace has logged you out, don’t enter your email and password. Instead, go to your bookmarked myspace.com to make sure you get on the real MySpace website and not a copycat site. If you see weird bulletins showing up from your friends, message or e-mail them right away to tell them their profile has been stolen and advise them to change BOTH their MySpace password and their email account’s password. Most people don’t see the bulletins their account is posting until it’s too late. Again: tell them to make sure to use different passwords for both.

Repost this page by clicking C and then COPY AND PASTE the whole message into a bulletin or blogpost.

Let’s keep profile thieves from stealing our profiles and our friends’ profiles!
