writes us that Chicago's Little League Records has been sued by Little League
Baseball! They have been forced to change their name and are having a contest to
rename the company. Winners will receive the entire LLR catalogue. The label is
home to August Premier, 504 Plan, AfterProject and the newly signed Remember Maine.

writes that Undies Records, a new label based in Hawaii, is putting together
their first compilation featuring a good size track list of unsigned bands. If
you are in an unsigned band, or know of one and you want some promotion across
the country as well as in Hawaii this is a good opportunity for you. The label
is accepting music of all genres so long as the band is unsigned. The Undies
Records site recently crashed, and they are working on a new layout, so there's
no website at the moment. If you are interested however, please send an email
to: elfunnio@hotmail.com.
