If you study carefully the map provided to the right you will find a kind baker who has prepared a tasty treat for our national consumption. The state of Iowa provides the baker's head, with his nose at the far right side. His body is provided by Missouri and Arkansas, his boots by Louisiana, and his baker's cap by Minnesota. He holds in his hands a pie - the tin which is Tennessee and the overflow of scrumptious filling which is KentuckyKinda lame, I know... I didn't want to have to require thinking today.
Today you should listen to:
Aqualung "Garden Of Love"
* This is, in general, a fantastic album by the way...

tell me about the statutory rate now.
The United States Copyright Act provides that once a copyright owner has recorded and distributed a work to the U.S. public, a compulsory mechanical license is available to anyone else who wants to record and distribute the work in the U.S. upon the payment of license fees at the statutory rate as set forth in Section 115 of the Act.
As of January 1, 2006 the statutory mechanical rate is as follows: 9.10 Cents for songs 5 minutes or less or 1.75 Cents per minute or fraction thereof over 5 minutes.
fyi:
BMI issues licenses to users of music, including:
television and radio stations and networks;
new media, including the Internet and mobile technologies such as ringtones and ringbacks;
satellite audio services like XM and Sirius;
nightclubs, discos, hotels, bars, and restaurants;
symphony orchestras, concert bands, and classical chamber music ensembles
digital jukeboxes;
live concerts.
It tracks public performances of members’ music, and collects and distributes licensing revenues for those performances as royalties to over 300,000 songwriters, composers and music publishers it represents, and thousands of creators around the world who have chosen BMI for representation in the U.S.
