| | Welcome to RattleHead 8.0!
07.10.07 by Chief Ferret (rattlehead) | |
| | | The RattleHead website has been completely redesigned and mutated to meet future challenges. Version 8 marks almost 10 years online and growing with the needs of the local music scene. This re-design has been a monumental effort, and it has left the Chief Ferret completely exhausted. He may need a vacation before the Summer is through. | |
| | Making the Band Making You an Idiot
01.01.05 by ferret (rattlehead) | |
| | | Definitely check out Making the Band. It's an ABC show about creating a "Backstreet (backdoor?) Boys" kind of band. The plot: a record exec picks 8 guys from a talent search, hires the music publishers to get them music, records them, pushes their album and they sell a few million. We get to watch them, Real-World-style as they go through the "trials and tribulations of becoming pop stars." | |

05.03.01 by ferret (rattlehead) | |
| | | The following was written five hours following the Cranston East/West Competition of the Institute for Sonic Evolution in 2001 held on 05.03.01. It has not been altered in any way since then and we preserve it here as our formal record of what occurred that evening. | |
| | Why You Will Soon Pay More Than Once for the Music You Buy
01.01.00 by ferret (rattlehead) | |
| | | The following questions and answers are being presented as a public service of RattleHead Records, to help people understand the New World Order as it is being created by the Universal Artists Group. The questions below seem irrelevant only because it is not the current reality; but sometime in the very near future, if these people remain unchallenged, it will be the reality. | |
| | EFF Manifesto on Digital Freedom and the Audio Revolution
05.27.99 by EFF (EFF) | |
| | | There is a large grassroots community online standing up to resist the village-idiot mentality of the major record labels and their hired henchmen, the RIAA. One of the foremost in this fight is the Electronic Frontier Foundation. In 1999, they released the following "manifesto" to the press and we have reprinted it's contents below. Note the date and notice a)how on the mark they were about what they were anticipating and b)how much worse it's gotten since then.

| | How to Kill the Rhode Island Music Scene in Four Easy Steps
06.01.98 by ferret (rattlehead) | |
| | | It's 1983. Start with one good club scene: nationally reputable clubs, national acts on weekends, the area's largest rock station playing local music at lunchtime everyday. | |
| | Why Metallica Sucks Ass
01.01.98 by ferret (rattlehead) | |
| | | Okay, I admit it, I never was a Metallica fan. And being a guitarist, this has always caused me problems... I don't know how many other guitarists have exclaimed in disbelief, "you don't like Metallica?!" (As if such a thing just wasn't possible.) | |
