Hi everyone,

SonicJive is starting to grow and I want to thank everyone for taking part. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

The February News Articles are up and we have a new format. You can access the articles when you are on your home page, they are in the far right hand column.

This Month At SonicJive

Cathy Rogers reviews the Muse CD "Black Holes & Revelations", (if you would like Cathy to do review of your CD please forward a copy to SonicJive.com, LLC 7433 Southwest Hwy Unit 11, Worth, IL 60482)

Dr. Music talks about a website that wants to offer FREE MP3 MUSIC DOWNLOADS and why that is a bad idea, and especially hurts unsigned and indie bands.

AroundHear has a smashing review on Cullen's Pub.

The Vinyl Frontier is a retrospective on the career of Peter Frampton and the album that launched his career, "Frampton Comes Alive"

Also, our new Jive Babe is Kelly, and her pics will be up this week, Friday or Saturday.

We are now sending our Jive Babes for professional photo shoots and the chosen women get to keep all of the portfolio pictures, FREE OF CHARGE. If you wish to be a SonicJive Babe - send me a message.

Our Music Store is open and you can purchase your favorite MP3s for a mere 99 cents. It helps the bands as they try to launch their careers, so please stop by the music store. Hopefully by the end of the month we will have SonicJive merchandise available as well. Just in time for spring and summer!

The Brit Sound Promotions page is up with a daily, updated video, and a personalized audio player in case you miss the Britsound Radio Show every Monday from 8PM - 10PM. BritSound Promotions will also begin Beatles week starting February 9th and a week's worth of Beatles videos updated daily.

And be sure to check out the best EIGHT Super Bowl commercials courtesy of www.1dawg.com and vote on your favorite. At the end of the week, we will give away a Block Buster Video Gift Card to a randomly selected voter. YOU HAVE TO VOTE TO WIN - SO STOP BY! Please check out 1dawg.com, and tell my good friend Adam you were referred by Michael at SonicJive!!!

It looks like DJ Bounce won the Super Bowl promotion (pending e-mail verification) so he will be getting a check for $1000 at the SonicJive Party on March 9th. Be sure to attend, I will have more details this weekend. But the event is scheduled for March 9th at Izzy & Moe's in Bloomingdale, IL. Check out the Izzy & Moe's page for updates and info.

This week comes the Grammy Awards and a Police reunion, big news, and next week, on Valentine's Day, the Brit Awards will pick the best UK musical talent.

Speaking of Valentine's Day, Happy Valentine's Day! If you would like to send a special e-card to one of our members, I cannot provide the e-mail address, but if you want to send one to me, it is mikecanter@sonicjive.com so have at it!

We do have our SonicJive Flash Generator so you can post comments to your SonicJive sweeties, and in the coming months we will have an affiliation with SonicJiveGeeks.com, so that we can provide you with graphics, cursor, backgrounds, and all kinds of fun stuff that will work on your MySpace, Facebook and BEBO pages as well.

Hope everyone has a great month - see you in March!
