Good news, you can now listen to Armenian music 24/7, 365 days a year at www.pomegranatemusic.com. The station is called PomegranateRadio and you can access it by clicking on the "Listen Now" button on the PomegranateMusic.com website. Enjoy, and piss off your boss by listening to it at work all day long. (Especially you Hagop B). The service is free and you don't need to subscribe. Obviously, there are selections from my music label catalog, but, there are also songs from non-Pomegranate artists and albums. Some of the music is rare and isn't available for purchase. The program is about 3 hours long with over 45 songs shuffling all day. I will change the program every 2 months with new stuff.

Aside from the usual work and school (it really never ends), right now I am busy doing a few things for the label. The first project we are getting out there is the Armenian guitar CD by Iakovos Kolanian. There will be a U.S. tour in February and March. I need some help in the LA market in spreading the word and overall advice in terms of how to market the concert. The tour dates are on my website.

The next project we are ready to go to print with is our Tufenkian/Pomegranate joint venture entitled "Fortress City: Armenian Songs from Nagorno Karabagh". 30 songs, all recorded on location in Shushi, great sound quality and interesting liner notes from Barkev Srpazan over there in NKR.

Next month, we should be under way recording the new Lilit Pipoyan album in Yerevan at VEM studios. Can't wait.

When it rains it pours.
