Tony Marinacci's New EP Is SOLD OUT
We've sold out our first run of Tony Marinacci's new EP " Tight But Loose ". Response has been great to the songs as well. "All The Answers" has been to the number one spot at every internet radio station it's been on. Several other songs have also held number one spots. We are trying hard to meet demand and will have more copies in time for the holidays.

New Member Of The Family
Though it's merely a formality, we are officially welcoming Bill Domiano to the family. As he has many other projects happening, he will be on part-time and his official role will begin as Assistant Manager of our rapidly expanding local division. This will be a perfect fit for Bill at TME as he runs the very popular internet radio show The Pennsylvania Rock Show. This show features a segment we sponsor called Get Outta Town which gives bands from outside of PA a chance to have their music broadcast around the world. The PA Rock Show is broadcast live on Friday nights and then rebroadcast every night of the week on some of the most popular indie radio stations on the net.

New Productions
Look out for 2 new songs by SickleEye. Specifics of the deal were not available at press time. They've hired Tony Marinacci to produce the songs to be recorded at TME Studio and Billy Rossi's.

New Drum Tracking Location
We have reached a decision to do our drum tracking at Billy Rossi's place this winter. Billy is cool, very knowledgeable and has recorded many of the top local bands. He currently has a home studio with some awesome preamps that most places would fall over. We are still checking out some other places we've been invited to and are in the process of building an isolation-room here. But, when someone has been as accommodating as Billy has it's hard to say no.

New Media Supplier
We have switched media suppliers and are now getting all our blank media from Disc Makers. We feel this is a necessary move to avoid compatibitlty issues as well as address our compilation CD's that have expired. All CD's that were sold and now not working with the Princo branding on the CD shall be replaced for free. Just send us the old one and you'll get a new one PLUS a CD Sampler and a chance to win free stuff for the holidays.

3 New Songs By Tony Marinacci
After an unfortunate 6 months delay the wait is over! 3 new songs covering 3 different styles of todays hard rock. A great song aimed for radio play is "Can't Take Another Day" which teams up the winning trio of Tony, Damian & Brian for their second great tune in a row. Tony & Damian are joined by old friend Chris Walsh and then raid the AK Valley on "It's Not Your Fault". This redone version features Terry McCausland on Vocals and Leah McIovaine on Background Vocals. Punn helped out on Acoustic Guitars. Last is "Control" and makes you wonder if anger management classes are in order!?! Tony & Damian are joined by Tommy Horner & Fred Young for an interestingly nightmarish vocal mix.

TME On PARS
Friday, August 4, 2006 8PM - 11PM. This will be a pre-recorded show from our very own studio hosted by Bob Miller. Every song was hand picked. Don't miss new songs by Tony Marinacci, John Vento, Nied's Hotel Band and JJ's Raydio Jamaica. There will also be some live performances. Also, for the unsigned bands - great advice on making and sending demos. Hear first hand advise from Artists, Writers and Producers as well as a Publisher that have all been signed by major labels.

Thanx Bill for trusting us at the controls. You do so much for us we might have to make a "Bill Month" every year!

New Site Design - Part 2
We've completed the changes to the site. We brought in a pro - Bill Domiano's Web Design - to address our new Music section. He has come through with a design that is awesome! This section consists of over 100 song pages, 8 compilations, 8 artists and several other pages that would all open in to new windows making most visitors experiences a real hassle to navigate and, looked ... kinda bad. We now have a design that allows a visitor access to every page with in 2 to 3 clicks inside a single window. And a look that's modern and pretty slick.

Thanks for all the advice from everyone. We really appreciate every thing that was said, including the negative things, that helped us make a great site. We want to keep our growing number of listeners and visitors, of which we have almost 2,900 for over 3,000 PLAYS A MONTH - and make sure that they don't want to leave.

We still have some cleaning up to do behind the scenes but for the most part we're done for now.

Rock For Life
As you know we don't usually support things because there's very often hidden agendas. However, we became aware of a special annual event that we feel deserves notice. It's called Rock For Life - a not-for-profit Benefit Concert Event, now entering its seventh year of raising money for victims of cancer and other serious medical conditions. It's a 2-day, 17 band concert for $15.00 - and the bands are actually really good. Camping AND partying overnight is allowed.

HAPPY 25th BIRTHDAY MTV
On August 1, 1981 video killed the radio star and MTV was born ... wasting many a band practice. 20 million people had cable TV in America back then. Now, you're 25 and 23 million Americans have high-speed-internet ... hmmm, see a trend?

A Home
We will have an announcement next month regarding our current and permanent location as well as some other things coming up.

New Nied's Hotel Release on July 18th
We have finally set a date for the new Nied's Hotel CD - July 18th. Advanced copies have been around since January so this first run will go real quick. This is a single 17 song CD with most all the material remixed from the first double-CD release of 2004. The remixes all feature guitar great Reb Beach as well as a few with Ron Beitle, local Drummer and original member of the legendary band Wild Cherry. Here's hoping some of their platinum magic rubs off on us.


New Site Design - Part 1
As you can see we've made some changes in the site. We were convinced to make these changes some time back in early 2005 when we saw our numbers grow substantially but were unable to agree upon a design with our then label. We still wanted to keep our design simple for the other companies that we do business with but also wanted something more for the growing number of listeners and visitors we were getting. However, now that we have over 3,000 PLAYS A MONTH and close to that many visitors we have no choice but to address this situation head-on.

We have only completed part of this upgrade though. We have redeigned most of the main page areas of the site except the Forums page. We are changing the Sounds to Music and added a new Recordings page that has more detailed info on our biggest and still fastest growing division. You still may experience some down pages this month but we'll have a brand new design to the whole website by the end of the month. The TME Recordings Section is getting a major remake. Bill Domiano's Web Design is doing the design work.

All Productions Back Underway
We have resumed all operations and are running at full speed again. We are also beginning another concert season. As things are light in the live end we are also going to be upgrading our in house computer systems again. We will now have 2 full editing stations to compliment our main machine.

New Site Design
You may experience some down pages this month as we'll be making some changes in the site this month. We will have a brand new design to the whole website by the end of the month. We've let Bill Domiano's Web Design work his magic on what we fell will be a more pleasurable browsing experience.

Email and Spam
While doing the updates to the site we are also forced to tackle issues with our email server. We have been flooded with complaints about unknown users using our domain name to send out mass emailings. We are strongly opposed to unsolicited emails. In fact, we don't even have a mailing list to join. So we will not except emails to unknown personal and we strongly recommend that all emails have a subject line.

THANK YOU FROM TONY MARINACCI
Hey all, it's Tony. I just wanted to say how thankful I am to everyone who's written, emailed, called or dropped by to express their sympathy over the lose of my mother. I am totally overwhelmed by all the kindness shown to me and my family. It is truly great to know that I have such support at this most tragic time from family, friends and fans. It has been a long 3 plus years fighting this right along side her. I have had so many people ask me why I haven't been able to produce more and now they know why. I didn't want everyone to know what was going on because sometimes it's turned against you, as a sign that a person needs pity or is making excuses. So now I am able to redirect my energy in a new way ... no more excuses ... refocus on my goal and fight for it now. I learned a valuable lesson from going through all this. She might have been fighting and fight she couldn't win but she never gave up. So neither can I.

JJ On PARS
JJ has been invited to appear on >The Pennsylvania Rock Show Friday, May 19, 2006 8PM - 11PM. Don't miss Raydio Jamaica as it invades the isle of Leechburg, PA.

Get Outta Town On PARS
While we're talking about The Pennsylvania Rock Show , we will be co-sponsoring a new segment, along with the AK Music Scene called "Get Outta Town". This will feature 3 songs from bands outside Pennsylvania gain world-wide exposure as this show becomes more and more popular. Bands that are passing through town will even be making it out to the studio to appear live were fans can take part by calling in, joining the chat room or viewing the webcam. Tony Marinacci will be there on several occasions to play some of the bands.

WE'LL MISS YA DAR
Today we lay to rest a beloved member of our family. Audrey 'Darlene' Marinacci, mother of local Producer, Songwriter and President/CEO of TME, Tony Marinacci, passed away March 30th from complications of lung cancer. She put up a fight of over 3 years from her diagnosis, that gave her just 6 months to a year at most. She was at Family Manor Hospice in Bellview for the last week surrounded by family. She passed peacefully with Tony and her sister Liz at her side.

Hear the song "Only God" which was inspired by her life.Though only partially completed, it was released last year and was the first song of Tony’s she got to hear on the radio.

New MySpace Sites

We are searching for vocalists that are needed for recording sessions. Females are strongly encouraged to apply. Come in and tear up one of our jams or get your feet wet by doing backgrounds. Recording experience not necessary. We are constantly looking for vocalists.

If you are a singer looking to gain professional experience then you need to contact us !!!

We also assist each other in our video productions. Also, JJ is one of our accomplished Producer, Writer and national Artist. So it seemed just a natural way for us to help them spread their good Rasta vibration to the rest of the world. Go check them out NOW!

New Demo Submission Policy
Due to the amount of demos we are now receiving it is neccasary to address this. As we have always made it a point to play everything that is sent to us when we were receiving around 100 demos a year. However, we now getting that every month so we have instituted a Demo Submission Policy . This is not to snub our noses at anyone but to help explain more what we do and don't do.

New Faces
The team just keeps getting better. We have made several great decisions in the new people we've brought in. Now, welcome Angelina, who'll be helping out with our new street team the TME.

Congrads To The Champs
We want to congratulate the Pittsburgh Steelers on their Super Bowl win. Congrads also to Hines Ward on winning the MVP. What a great time to be in the 'burgh, which is actually a way nicer place than people know. The hole city just emptied out to the streets into a huge party. You could not write a story this good. A team coming together to get Jerome Bettis home to Detroit. Giving him the chance to raise the trophy in his last game. Thanx Bus it's been a great ride. Finally, Bill Cower leaning down to Mr. Rooney sayin sorry for that gaffe 10 years ago (that was Neil's fault) but after 25 years he got 1 for the thumb.

TME on the WWW
OK, so we swore we weren't gonna do this again but after much deliberation (mostly from our friend Bill) we now have a MySpace page located at; http://www.myspace.com/tmentertainment . We are looking into staring Artist sites for our artists but for now we have a general page for Tony Marinacci at; http://www.myspace.com/tony_marinacci. So why were we so hesitant to do this? Well, we tried the Web Groups scene earlier in the decade at Yahoo!, and others which you can still check out from our links page. Yahoo! did turn out to be a great friend to us in some jobs we did for them and help they gave us on a copyright infringement.

New Faces
We have some really cool new people poppin in to help out the cause. The TME Crue is our street team and if you are a person of talent just let them know. Email them or at the site in care of the Street Team. Next is our new office helper Lexi. A girl that has a smile so bright that it could light up most third-world nations. She brings business education and a will be assisting in the administrative end of the company. We are excited that so many great people want to be a part of what we are doing. We also feel truly blessed that each new addition all bring such positive energy to us. We will be adding some more people soon and will also be posting for specific needs here, on our Forums and use our new MySpace page.

Happy New Year - We Are So Ready
Not to take anything away from a parent company, investor, artist or any other member of our great teams of the past, but we are more committed than ever to obtaining the biggest goal we have right now ... getting a plaque ... a hit! As in numero UNO! We are absolutely blessed right now to be writing some of the best music that has been delivered from any of our capable writers. We have also been presented with some of the best talent we ever have and, to be around local legends that have achieved enormous success in their careers.

In light of the many inquires from interested companies we recognize that this is our best opportunity in a couple of years to obtaining our goal. Also, emails and comments on our Forums page enforce our belief that we are moving in a positive direction. That's why we are focusing more of our energy to reach our goal. Any time we have done this in the past we have accomplished our goal and enjoyed a significant success in that industry. Nearly all our effort will be directly focused on the one thing that has been so close but has eluded us for so long now.

New Addition - Radio Section
Because of the changes we have made to the availability of the media content at the site we have created a section for radio stations and internet streams. All known individuals were contacted prior to this change. Also, because of the increasing development and interest in our commercial material we are always looking for ways to show the great talent we have here. If you are interested in playing any of the content at the site please contact.

All Songs are 90 Second Samples
We have changed all our song samples to 90 seconds. You can still download the full version of some songs though. Sorry but there's only so much room.

This Week In The Studio Returns
Members of our Forums page don't need to worry though, we're pluggin' it back in for 'This Week In The Studio'. Beware, this is some real dark and heavy stuff we're workin' on right now (dead-icated to some WORLD-CLASS jerks) so you might want to keep those ear plugs close.
