Jim DeRogatis has a <a href="http://blogs.suntimes.com/derogatis/2009/03/updated_mr_corgan_goes_to_wash.html">post about Chicago rocker and Visa spokesperson Billy Corgan speaking before Congress</a> about the so-called Performance Rights Act, with which the music industry hopes to extract money from radio stations for playing their music.</p>
<p>Radio pays songwriters a “publishing” fee, but there’s no “performance” equivalent.  That is, Pepsi spokesperson Bob Dylan gets a few pennies each time Hendrix’s “All Along the Watchtower” is played on a terrestrial radio station, but the Hendrix estate gets nothing.<span id="more-238"></span></p>
<p>… nor, incidentally, does Warner Brothers, which is really what all this is about. I’m not sure how these payments would break down. I assume it’s a performance fee rather than royalty, meaning the artist might typically get half of the payments rather than a much smaller fraction. Will research and report back.</p>
<p>As DeRo notes, the argument against the bill is that radio sells records with all the free airplay; songwriters get hosed all sorts of ways and so deserve their pittance, but the artist on the label is the one getting all the benefits of being played on the radio.</p>
<p>There’s no better illustration of this than the fact that the music industry spent hundreds of millions of dollars on payola to get radio stations to play their artists.</p>
<p>Seems a little churlish for them now to be taking the other tack.</p>
<p>If Congress had vision it would fashion the payments only to the artists themselves, the people who play on the CDs, working around the labels entirely.</p>
<p>The dynamic that seems to be unfolding in the industry is that the RIAA is using its waning days of influence to grandfather in some payments that will artificially keep the labels alive after technological changes have passed them by entirely. Congress should pass on the idea just on that basis alone.</p>

If you&#8217;re a fan of Luna, the dream/indie pop band who made 7 studio albums and played their final shows in February 2005 &#8212; or if you&#8217;re more familiar with Dean and Britta in other projects (Dean fronted Galaxie 500, and Britta was the voice of cartoon character Jem to name only a couple prior accolades), you&#8217;ll be excited to learn that this dynamic duo is at the <a href="http://www.mcachicago.org/" target="_blank">MCA</a> on Saturday, March 8th, performing <em>13 Most Beautiful&#8230; Songs from Andy Warhol&#8217;s &#8216;Screen Tests&#8217;. </em></p>
<p><em></em>Their current project was commissioned by the <span class="maincopyBD">Andy Warhol Museum</span> and the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust.  The Screen Tests are silent film portraits that Andy Warhol shot at the Factory between 1964 and 1966. The subjects &#8211; both famous and anonymous &#8211; were visitors to Warhol&#8217;s studio.<em><span id="more-153"></span></em>

</a>
</p>
<p>The live show is a multi-media presentation, where Dean and Britta perform onstage with their band ( <span class="maincopyBD">Anthony Lamarca</span> and <span class="maincopyBD">Matt Sumrow</span>), while the Warhol films are projected overhead. <em>13 Most Beautiful&#8230;</em> will be released on DVD by <a href="http://plexifilm.com/" target="_blank">Plexifilm</a> in April, 2009.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.mcachicago.org/performances/perf_detail.php?id=460#_self" target="_blank">From Chicago MCA website</a></p>
<p>Indie pop darlings <a href="http://www.deanandbritta.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #0000ff;">Dean Wareham and Britta Phillips</span></a> bring their languid lyrics and hypnotic harmonies to Andy Warhol&#8217;s Screen Tests, rarely seen silent film portraits of fixtures of the 1960s New York art scene, including many well known celebrities such as Edie Sedgwick, Lou Reed, and Baby Jane Holzer. This multimedia performance features large-scale video projections with live music by Dean &amp; Britta and their band.</p>
