Newsletter

Rarely do we extend past our own business to reflect contemporary issues
but these days, we cannot ignore what is happening around us.
The economy in the U.S. is faltering severely. With prices going through the
roof and almost a quarter of a million jobs lost in the first quarter of 2008
one has to wonder why and how does it affect us in internet radio. Because
of the costs of operating a station is also on the rise, you may see more
and more internet stations dissolving into obscurity. These are hard times
for everyone, no matter what they do and this part of our newsletter is to
assure our artists and our listeners that we have re-budgeted our
operational costs so that we may continue our services for free to our
artists and listeners. We also anticipate that once the economy returns to
some stability, we will be a here to serve our visitors.
On the political side of our economic woes in the U.S., well, it's a
presidential election year and whoever gains the office of President Of The
United States will also have some impact on the internet. Things like
internet limitation and territorial costs and addtional taxes. These things
may come into fruition depending on who is elected into the highest office
in the land. One has to wonder though that many political forums have
been used by the candidates and they may want to pull additional dollars
from the internet as they have seen the impact that the internet has.
Then there is Us. Just like everyone else, we are caught up between our
wallets, the economy and the politics. Everyday, we keep an eye out on
what is going on across America and model ourselves accordingly so that
we can remain viable and financially stable with these troubled times. So by
re-budgeting ourselves, we can meet the costs of our operations and keep
our site free for everyone. Unfortunately, growth may not occur as quickly
as we had anticipated so we also re-formulated our Expansion Plan 2008
Envision to meet the price increases of everything so that we can continue
to grow while facing many adversities in our country. Once we see things
improve, we will revert back to our original expansion plan and proceed at
the pace we forcasted last year.

New things are coming to Musictogousa.com. We are writing the codes
that will enable our visitors to request their favorite artists on our playlists
and buy buttons. The buy buttons are only available at this point on our
pop-up player but we will be extending those buy buttons to our playlists
so that our listeners will not have to wait for their favorite artist to be
played. Our Video Gallery will be returning soon as we have repaired the
codings on most of the artists video's. Lot's more things coming to
Musictogousa.com and we will press release those things 48 hours prior
to implementing them (for now these things are kept secret).

There are many Rants this year with the souring economy, voters in two
states that will not be able to seat their delegates in the Presidential Race,
people losing their jobs, local cities and towns committing unethical
taxation practices on personal property, the sub-prime mortgage rip-offs
and the lack of leadership in our political system because our politicians
are millionaires and they do not suffer like the rest of the populace nor do
they care to understand the frustrations of middle and poor America. The
belt tightening is always placed on the people struggling to make ends
meet while the politicians flaunt their own success and in the case of New
York governers, hire $4,000.00 prostitutes and have affairs at our expense.
There should be a revamping of our political system and the country
should be returned to the people instead of our present course.
There are also a few Raves this year (they were hard to come by). One
being that even though things are tough for everyone, we have to salute
those that have shown resiliency despite their problems. One of the most
resilient people on Earth are the independent artists that continue to
struggle in the music industry and will struggle through these tough
economic times. And our only other Rave would be to our listeners that
despite rising costs, they continue to stay connected to the internet and
help us determine our own entertainment value.
