: PAUL STANLEY - “PEOPLE, LET ME GET THIS OFF MY CHEST”
From: postpunkjunk.com
>> through : Andrew Stern
Paul Stanley needs no introduction. Every song at a Kiss live show, however, seems to need one, a completely
insane overly-rehearsed one at that, and some mad genius out there has finally made a CD-length compilation of some of the gems in the Paul Stanley Crowd Interaction canon. My good friend Dave Viola, who’s been obsessed with Stanley’s on-stage patter for countless years, tipped me off to this one — he’s the one who pointed out to me that Stanley, in-between songs on-stage, sounds less like the frontman for an internationally known rock megaband than a shrill Christopher Street queen stuck outside a club at three in the morning, frantically searching on the wet pavement for the last few poppers that accidentally flew out of his hand onto the ground. The ZIP file below of 70 tracks’ worth of Stanley shenanigans has already been posted elsewhere on the web, but it’s good to get this kind of stuff as much exposure as possible.
WARNING: This ZIP file is very large, so it could take a long while for you to download if you’re on a slower connection…

Gene Simmons and Simmons Records recording artist BAG have teamed up to write the official theme song for the ‘I Am Indy’ campaign.
Gene Simmons and his Simmons/Abramson Marketing company will be responsible for the marketing campaign of Indy Racing League’s 2006 season.
Gene and his partner Richard Abramson - who in his approx 3 decade career managed Paul Reubens (Pee-wee Herman) and was responsible for marketing campaigns for major film studios like Warner Bros and Universal - will be actively engaged in Indy Racing League’s marketing, event, public relations, sponsorship, merchandising and branding efforts, including the famous Indianapolis 500.
From: Kiss
Kollector Online
BAG: “Gene first approached me in September 2005 with the concept for the tune.
The idea was to write something that was self-empowering. Something to promote one's individuality. He gave me some parameters as to how he heard it should sound: Big - Chant - Anthem - Huge drums, etc. He gave me the title 'I Am Indy' and the concept behind some of the other lyrics. Then by the end of September I knew I'd nailed it. All the instruments and vocals were done by me in my home studio. It turned out that Gene and the Indy people loved it. I'm very happy about the whole thing.”

January 10 :
Bruce Kulick related Billy Squier ' Tale Of The Tape' CD
reissue
From: Rock
Candy Records
UK re-issue label Rock Candy Records has announced details of it's latest
release "Billy Squier - Tale Of The Tape" due January 23.
Billy Squier - Tale Of The Tape - It takes a brave man to go it alone, in music or in life, and with Tale Of The Tape Boston-born Billy Squier showed he had sufficient backbone (and material) to put his own name squarely behind his songs.
Produced by 'prog. professor' Eddie Offord and featuring top names from the US East Coast rock fraternity (including guitarist Bruce Kulick, later to join Kiss), 'Tale...' was the record that established Squier as a singer/songwriter/guitarist of genuine stature. True, he would have bigger-selling albums, but none more influential, with The Big Beat now topping the list of most sampled songs ever; throw in numbers as downright potent as Young Girls, Axl Rose fave Calley Oh & radio hit You Should Be High Love and you have an album that laid the foundations for a multi-platinum career that continues to this day...
Track Listing: The Big Beat . Calley Oh . Rich Kid . Like I'm Lovin' You . Who Knows What A Love Can Do . You Should Be High, Love . Who's Your Boyfriend . The Music's All Right . Young Girls . Bonus Tracks: The Music's All Right (acoustic demo) . Young Girls (acoustic demo).
