Joan Jett - You Don't Know What You've Got Her first solo record featured "Bad Reputation" a track whose video came out on MTV blatantly mocking all the labels that turned her down, forcing her to start her own label Blackheart Records just to get the album released. Joan Jett - Bad Reputation Joan Jett - Cherry Bomb Joan Jett - Roadrunner Over the years she's always had to work on a DIY basis, and lately has developed a slightly more political outlook with her new album. One of her songs goe about blatantly tackling the geopolitical sh*tstorm on "Riddles" with soundbites from the poetry/press conferences of one Donald Rumsfeld. Another song to look for from her new album is "Change The World", which could go right along with anything from the Pete Seeger back catalog, just with a more metal bite to it. Five is another edgy track co-written by Kathleen Hannah of Bikini Kill/Le Tigre. Amongst the cover songs chosen for inclusion on her new "Sinner" album, are Sweet's "AC/DC" and Paul Westerberg's "Androgynous". The Replacements cover has been a staple of her live sets over the past few years, and Jett duetted with Westerberg some years back on a Cole Porter tribute of "let's Fall In Love" on which Brian Baker played guitar as well. "Androgynous" is just one of the four songs featured in this live concert excerpt mp3 lifted from a live DVD she put out a few years back.

This band first came to my attenton almost some years back with a release on Rounder that highlighted their fun & uniquely American blend of funk & zydeco. Well it was time for Lil' Mike & Lil Brian to meet... Based out of Barrett Station Texas near Houston these bayou bred cats are unabashed fans of the down and dirty south funk & hip hop, but also can work a mean traditional accordian / scrub-board vibe with the best of 'em. They call this blend of Zydeco & Funk " Z-Funk " ...Check em out if ya get a chance, as they are great, hard working and energetic live act that can kick out the serious jams . The music is like a bastardized blend of The Meters featuring Zigaboo Modeliste & the ghost of Clifton Chenier... The scrub board guy is worth the price of admission alone, I'd have to call him Scrub Doggy Dogg for his look, and his onstage demonically possessed demeanor is somewhere else altogether... Here's the title track from their latest release on Tomorrow Recordings "Funky Nation" Lil' Brian & The Zydeco Travelers - Funky Nation A reader of this blog, Ken, posted some interesting comments and I will try to respond through this posting. In year 2002 alone, sports stadium and area construction projects reached a total cost volume of $7.8 billion.* The sale of a naming right grants a private entity the right to give the sports stadium the entity’s name in exchange for monetary payments over a certain period. The price ranges from $4 million to over $200 million,* with terms of agreements ranging from five to thirty-one years. To give a few examples, Bank of America Stadiumâ€"Bank of America for over $100 million (21 years) Heinz Fieldâ€" Heinz for $51 million (20 years) Invesco Field at Mile Highâ€" Invesco Funds Group for $120 million (20 years) Pacific Bell Parkâ€"Pacific Bell for $20 million (24 years) To use the Giants as an example, the city and county of San Francisco own the property where the China Basin Ballpark Company LLC built the sports arena (currently known as the AT&T Park). The Ground Lease included a naming rights clause allowing the tenant, China Basin Ballpark Company LLC in this case, to sell the naming rights. According to this article* one-third of the stadiums in the US are currently owned by the team owner/ ownership group and two-thirds are owned by a public authority through favorable tax policy or sales of bonds. Generally, whoever owns the stadium, meaning whoever is paying off the construction bills, owns the naming rights of the stadium. However, this claim needs to be explored further. To clarify the specific definition of ownership, typically, there would be a state legislation passed to clarify the specifics, particularly if the project involves a large amount of public funds. In the case of Kansas City, there was a bill passed stipulating that: “…the Authority owns the naming rights to the publicly-owned stadium and shall negotiate a full fair market value price for the sale or lease of such rights. Naming rights revenues are to be expended for Authority operating costs, reimbursement to the state (in the event state sales tax revenues produced by the project do not meet or exceed the state's annual appropriations), early retirement of bonds issued by the Authority, and capital improvements to the stadium. The Cardinals may reasonably reject any name proposed for the stadium.” This would be an example of the public authority controlling the naming rights of the stadium. As to Ken’s second part of the question: Is [naming rights of] the Philadelphia Phillies example the rule or the exception? This is a very interesting question because the 50% of the construction cost (with the initial project cost of $346M) for the Citizens Bank Park is publicly funded. To use the MLB stadiums as the examples here, - Kauffman Stadium (the Royals), - Angel Stadium of Anaheim (the Angels), - Shea Stadium (the Mets), - US Cellular Field (the white Sox), - McAfee Coliseum (the Athletics), - Tropicana Field (the Devil Rays) are the 6 out of 29 stadiums built with 100% public funds. The stadium deal for the Washington Nationals is still yet to be finalized, but it looks like a significant portion of the cost would be covered by public money. I would guess that those 6 cities or counties where these stadiums are located would definitely have some stakes in the naming rights of the stadium, in financial and/or non financial means. In fact, there was an interesting legal dispute between the city of Anaheim and the Angels recently regarding their naming rights. To the contrary, public authority would have little direct stakes in the naming rights of stadiums that receives little or no public funds towards the contraction, examples include the Fenway Park, Dodger Stadium, Yankee Stadium or the New Busch Stadium â€"though I would think that the voice of the local fans may play a part. (Note: big clubs can reduce the amount of revenue sharing by spending more on the ballparks). For a more complete listing of contract provisions pertaining to naming rights of stadiums occupied by professional sports teams, Marquette Law has a great website HERE. |
