Orchard Hire's New CEO Rather Than Fixing Thier Illegal Business Model

In a move that really comes as no surprize-givin" the Orchards Sleazy record
of engaging in illegal music business practices-rather than ceasing to engage in criminal
activity they instead have just put a new person in charge of them.New Orchard CEO
Brad Navin,now finds himself in the precarious position of being in charge of a
Company that everyone in the Music Industry knows is engaged in illegal business
activities-mainly looting thier artists royalty accounts and by doing so commiting
a Felony federal crime.This move will only add to The Orchards Massive ammount of
troubles and sink them further down the hole of non-viablity.The Orchard is now
basically a Ponzie scheme.Only instead of selling junk bonds and stocks with no value-
they are selling contracts which they have no intention of living up to which will
leave thier artists pennyless but the Orchard's old School Crooks Rolling in the Money.
Will someone put an end to this looting.It's possible.The New York District Attorney
has been contacted about the Orchards unsavory business practices and it highly
likely that criminal charge's will be forth coming.Especially at risk is theFormer head
of The Orchard-Richard Gottner-a man who previously-before these indiscretions had
come to light-been considered one of the more legitamite persons in the Music Business.
Now it appears that,just like Bernie Madoff,Gottener has been robbing his artists blind
in Broad daylight.If he'll do that in the daytime just imagine what he get''s up to at night.
The Orchard appears to be trying to put on a front of legitamacy until they
can unload this ticking time bomb on some poor unwitting soul.Buyers beware.

ORCHARD.COM'S-STEALING DISABLED SONGWRITERS ROYALTIES BACKFIRES BIGTIME !

NEWS CORP. 04/27/2010

As news of "Orchard.com Inc.'s" policy of preying on disabled songwriters by stealing
thier hard earned song royalties spread throughout the music Industry music company's
rush to distance themselves as fast as they can from the condemed Orchard Corperation.Spokemen and Women for a number of Large Music Entitities,who
went on record in exchage for Anonimity claimed to have "No Idea That the Orchard was
invovled in such dreadful,illegal music Buisness activities".For the past four years The Orchard
has gutted Disabled songwriters royaties for thier own profit because they seem certain that
Disabled American's are vulnrable and will be unable to take on a Multi-National Corperation
in order to force them to pay what they owe in song royalties to the Disabled American Songwriters.One former Orchard employe who also spoke on the condition of anonymity said "What's even more incredible is that the Orchard Used an Ancient outdated and unappicable Royalty Scam know as "Returns"."When i saw they were using 'Return's' to steal the money from thier clients i was shocked-because Downloads can't be returned and i knew then i had to get out-because they were sure to get caught""I have a wife and family" the former employee continued and "I will not risk thier futures by being party to this kind of old school songwriter Royalty Scam ! "Especially when i discovered they were specificaly targeting disabled American sonwriters" "It's such a disgusting tactic to resort too" "I knew they'ed get caught and i didn't want to be there when they were".The former employee left The Orchard Three Years Ago.
Publishing companies,independant record labels and big time music Artists are leaving
the Orchard's sinking ship in huge number's in a rush hoping to avoid any association with such incrediblely illegal and scandalous Music Business Pratice's.The Orchard was contacted for comment-but were unable to be reached."The Orchards been trying to cover this up for years-while at the same time continuing to indulge in this horribly ugly and illegal Scam".The music Business is reeling from these revelations.It seems the Orchard followed the Bernie Madoff mindset-Lie and then lie about those lies and just keep on lying untill there's nothing left that can help or save you or your Buisness.It allmost make's payola look like childs play.
Disabled American's are protected from being victumized by the Law-passed in 1992-
passed especially to protect these vulnrable disabled Americans.The Orchard now faces a number of Felony charges because of these laws and also because what they were doing would be totally illegal no matter who the party's were that were involved.There is no chance for the
Orchard to evade discovery and prosecution.As one source put it "Thier doomed-they brought thier own company down by taking actions which they knew were illegal".

of music world wide has stolen all of a disabled songwriters royalties amounting to $10,000's of
dollars.The songwriter,who had toiled for years for a big song,when finally getting one was robbed by his own distribuer of all the royalties ! Move over Bernie Madoff-here comes the Orchard. The ORCHARD pulled off the hiest by using one of thier lackeys "Nick Gorden" a man commonly referded to in the music Industry as "a music business weasel" as once source put it.What surprises the Music Industry is the blatent and obvious way-and "also very outdated"-way that "The Orchard" used to steal the royayties of the handicapped songwriter.They used an very old Record Label scam which puts the stolen money under the catagory of "Returns" robbing the songwriters of thier royaties ."No-one has used this oudated scam in decades" spoke another inside source from the music Indusry."And there's a very good reason why"-"You can't return downloads !".Every one we talked to in the
the Music Industry is shocked that "The Orchard" "Has reverted to this pathetic and outdated
scheme".Targeting a disabled American songwriter "Seems Especially hienous,even taking Nick Gordon's track record of sleazy con jobs into account,this one really takes the cake as his sleazest con-job ever".Authorities are investigating the felony crime targeting "Nick Gorden" but also
the President and owner of "The Orchard.Com Inc.",Richard Gottener.When reporters tried to reach "The Orchard.com Inc." for comment thier calls went unreturned.No-one at the Orchard
could be reached.

ANYONE FOR TEA ? -THE HIDDEN BRAIN OF TEA PARTY MEMBERS

By Pete Holly


Tea Party members seem to be People who have evolved away from old
associations of words like Goverment ,Republican ,and Democrat and replaced all of
the Good associations these words may have had in the past with completely negative
associations. To a certain extent,we have all done this in differing degree's.Negative
associations with these words are now part of all our hidden brain referance points.
The differance is that the Tea Party'ers have gone all the way and switched thier hidden brain referance circuits to these words to all negative associations.It's partly
the result of the frustration caused by conflicticing messages sent by the Overgrown
Media that Bombards us daily-overloading our sense's to the point where nothing
seems right or true anymore and so the aforementioned words{You can add Tax's}
have become words with only negative assciations for Tea Party members.Because
these word associations are located in our hidden brains-Tea Party members are not
aware of the chage in word associations that have occured in thier Brains.Thier actions,
however reveal that they most certainly have.While the rest of us cling as tightly as
possible to positive associations of the words Goverment,Republican,and Democrat-i.e.
Goverment is Good-Democracy is what makes America the Greatist Nation on Earth.
We have free speech and certain inaliable Rights and-
"You know that can't be Bad
"Yeah,Yeah,Yeah,
America we love you,
and you know you shoud be Glad-Ohoooo ! ! !"
-
-But Tea Party'ers say-

"You know you hurt me so,
I allmost lost my mind-
and now i know for sure,
My Goverments the hurtin' kind"

So for the "TPM" Goverment is now only associated with the negative.
They have made the final leap.Not even being consciously aware that
the swich has happened.That this change came from thier hidden brains
does not nessassarily mean that it is bad or wrong.It just means that the
change took place in thier hidden brains without thier being aware of it.
These word association changes happen at a pretty steady clip in our
modern information rich world,but most of these changes are more personal and private.In the "TPM" we find many people changing
thier word associations at once and taking that change to the street.They
may not have a plan to replace the old system-but they know for sure that
the current system is broken and infinatly corrupt.They are sure of that.
Sure enough to take it to the streets and march in protest wielding sign's
that speak of their negative assessment of our current goverment,it's
policy's and it elected leaders.
This word association change has happened en-masse in a fairly large group of Americans caused mainly by pure frustration and disgust with what they
percieve to be the end of the American Dream.And who can Blame Them ?
Day in and Day out Americans are presented with so many outragous
opinions from the Global Mass Media that it's a wonder that a section of
the American Public hasn't broken out much sooner.No ! They say-I don't
believe you.I don't buy your quick fix for the rich or the poor or is there any
fix for the middle class ? I don't believe your telling the truth about yours.
This Man-This Woman is lying to me-i can feel it in my bone's
and deep down to the depths of my patriotic American Soul.We've been
sold out to corperate interests-both political parties-niether are viable for
me any more-i have no trust in them-thier actions have revealed thier
hypocritcal philosophy-and it just doen't add up-were being cheated-sold
a bill of goods worth no value whatsoever.In short we have been totally and completly
ripped off by our own Goverment and it's elected leaders.Tax's-please-forget
about it-they are just a polite word the goverment use's to rob good law abidding American citizens of thier hard earned Cash ! .Our country has been permiated from coast to
coast with coruption at every level of society.While the politicians make sure
they make the rich richer-insuring a generous campaign contrabution-the rest
of America is getting screwed,blued and tatoo'ed.

That is my decipherment of The Tea Party Movement-it cause's-motivations
and the actual hidden Brain Mechanism that allowed it to take place.It's fairly
rare that word associations happen so suddenly en-masse but in reality we've
seen sign's of something like this coming for along time and let's face it-there's
a little bit of Tea Party word association in all of us.Were just not aware of it
because it takes place in our hidden brain.

The New Pete Holly CD "Sun Valley"-notes from Pete Holly

Pete Holly-"Sun Valley"

My new CD is an very interesting collection of songs,the majority of which
were recorded when i first got sober.What's interesting is that even though as
a person i was quite differant sober than when i was drinking, as a songwriter i still sounded
very close to the same.You can hear this in the song "You Walked Away".The
1st original recording which appeared on my 4th Cd "The Morrison Center Session"
was one of the only really good recordings i was able to complete in those last
years of my drinking.And yet the Version i recorded after i got sober on this Cd
is almost completely identical-only the way it was arranged is differant.But the
Vocal and the acoustic guitar sound very much the same-nearly identical in fact.
That suprised me-and it still does.There's one other song on this new Cd that has
come out before-"Hard to Love a Man{Who Loves His Guitar".The Version i
released before on the "Riverside Drive" CD was recorded in Austin,TX,at a
session where i recorded 13 songs in one hour in one of the first digital studio's
anywhere.This is the original version here on this CD-one of the many song's
i was to write up in Sun Valley-Where lived for quite a spell.Now what's inter-
resting is that this 1st version is noticably differant from the one i recorded over
a year later in Austin.It's rythm' is much more "Fluid".Later on as i played the
song more-i made it more choppy-more like broken-up power chords on an
acoustic guitar-and can't tell you why i did that-because it just happened-on it's
own.But there's something good about both way's of playing it-they're differant-
But both are very good solid versions of the song.
So there's a couple of alternate versions but there are six very interesting
totally new Pete Holly song's to be heard here for the first time ever."The
Shadow of Your Smile" isn't the old song,but a totally new Pete Holly song
That's probably one of my best songs-ever-it's just been hiding out for a while.
"Jane Day" is one of my favorites-because it's about this very cool Girl who
used to come and do therapy of a very unique sort.It was like voice therapy
where she would use her voice,while relaxing music was playing,and she would
guide us all on a little trip to a very beautiful, serene place.It was really quite
amazing.So i became quite found of Jane and i wrote this really differant kind of
song to express that.It's just got a differant style to it-it doesn't sound so much
like the rest of my songs-it's pretty differant-kind of english-brit-style-and again
i don't know why it came out in this song that way-it just did ! But it's very cool and
i've allways liked the song alot-because it's differant and because of "Jane".
"Ya Stone Me" is a straight forward R&B Song."Everybody Call Now" is a
gospel song and "Buyin' this Bar" has it's origins in my drinking day's but to
be honest i'm not sure when i wrote it-i just knew i liked it-and i wanted to
take a crack at recording it and i liked the way it came out here.
Now the Mini-Rock Opera.What on earth could have gottin' into me that
got me to write the 10 min. "Computer Commuter" with a whole sequece of
of song's that added up to one 10 min whole.I can't tell you exactly-but i can tell
you it all came to me at once.I mean the whole thing-and it's the only thing of
this nature i ever wrote.Remembering one song is hard enough-but 4 or 5
that just flow together-it's really a rarity for me.I do remember that i worked
all day and half the night making sure i got it all down while it was in my head.
And then i think i overdubed the electric guitar part the next day.I remember
thinking at the time how unusual this was-but it was such a big force of energy
that came through me-i just felt relief after i had nailed it.Here it seemed like
good place to release it-as the closing track of this album.And that's it.That's
A little bit of info about all the song's on "Sun Valley".

Best Regards,

Pete Holly

The New Pete Holly Cd "Sun Valley"-Some Notes bty

Poetry

by Pete Holly


Standing on top of the highest moutain-
We still often do not see-the World as a whole-
but still only see me-
Why is hard for us to remain Humble ?
is this an inevitable fate,
That I replaces-We-and only I is Great-

When the clouds rain on Every one-
are there allway's folk's who remain Dry,
This seems to be our forecast-
More of me-our Battle Cry !

Come down into the valley-
So you can see the level Ground-
Will you still be thinking your the only one
Around,
Or could you see a bigger picture-
One that's more inclusive-
and takes into account-
The imbalance of clout-and,
Share with all -You do see

Amazon.com Wrong-"The Wizard of Garage" CD Is Still In Print

A NOTE FROM PETE HOLLY ABOUT WHO MANUFACTURE'S MY CD'S
There seems to be abit of confusion about who manufacture's my CD's.
My record label-Look's Music International-manufactures all of the
Pete Holly solo CD's-Including "The Wizard Of Garage","Riverside Drive","Pete Holly III",
"The Morrison Center Session","The Balled of Pete Holly" and my new CD "Sun Valley".
We also manufacture the CD-Pete Holly and the Look's-"Live at Desmond and Mollies".
The confusion about who the manufacturer of all these Cd's is started because
"The Orchard",who used to be one of my Distributers,falsely represented themselve's
as "The Manufacturer" of my first three Cd's-"The Wizard of Garage"-"Riverside Drive"
and "Pete Holly III".Exactly as to why they did this.I do not know.I do know however,
that this is not the only false information "The Orchard" has givin' out and that is why
i ended my relationship with "The Orchard" and they no longer have any rights to
disribute either my Cd's or any of my music downloads.About 4 years ago,after i keep
noticing that the money that collected from sales of my music by "The Orchard" of both
Physical CD's and MP3 Downloads-kept magically dis-appearing-{The Orchard gives
access to an accounting page to all the artists whose music they distribute so that they
can see all the activity and how much money has collected that is owed to each Artist}
I had complained to them quite a few times when my share of the profit of all sales-
seemed to disappear or magically get lowered to just below the level where legally
"The Orchard" would have to send me a check and pay me.Also,on more than a few
occasions,even though the amount of money owed to me was above the "Must Pay"
level.The Orchard still didn't issue a check-as they were legally bound to do.I kept
having to call them and e-mail them over and over again before they would finally
cave in-do the right thing-and send me a check.As you can imagine;this was a very
frustrating and time consuming ordeal that i didn't like at all and i let "The Orchard"
know this on several occassions-but the situation never improved-it allways took
at least 5 to 10 months and sometimes even a year or more to get them to issue
a check.But eventually,even though it was an incredible,illegal and unnessary hassle-I
would finally suceed in getting my money.The Amounts were not that large but that
had been slowly changing as one of my song's-"Are You Gonna Be My Girl" sales took
off and money started pouring in.Eventually i found out why from an old fan of "Pete Holly
and the Look's" who sent me a post card from New York.He wanted to make sure that
i was aware that "Are You Gonna Be My Girl" had been aired in it's entirity on a nationally syndicated TV show-"Full Frontal Fashion " which was on The Womens Channel.We don't
get the Womens Channel here in Boise so i was not aware of this use,but it expalined the
sudden increase in sale's-especially of the MP3 of "Are You Gonna Be My Girl" but also of
"The Wizard of Garage" CD-both of which were still being distributed by "The Orchard"
at the time.The song and the album rose up into the top ten on Rhapsody's Lo-Fi Charts
and "The Orchard" owed me about $300.00 and the numbers were going up faster and faster
everyday.When i tried to get "The Orchard" to pay me this larger paycheck is when i first
talked to "Nick Gorden" who had been appointed as the new man in charge of artist relations
at "The Orchard".Nick said he was unaware of the Outstanding Balance that was owed to me
by "The Orchard" but asked me to give him a day-and he would check into it.The next morning i logged onto my Orchard accounting page.All three hundred dollars had dis-appeared overnight.I immediatly called Nick and asked him what had happened to my money."Returns" Nick replied "Returns" had eliminated 300.00 dollars overnight ! "Nick" i said "All of
the 300.00 dollars The Orchard owed me had come from MP3 Downloads,You can't return
a Download".Nick Gorden went beserk ! He said he was deleting my account,and was sending
all of the CD's of mine the Orchard had in stock{about 300 or 4000.00 dollars worth} back to me immediatlly and that The Orchard and myself no longer had any Relationship and then he hung up !
Well Nick Gorden deleted my accounting page but that's it.I could no longer see the
activity because Nick had deleted it and made it unavailable to me.But he never deleted
The Orchards encodedments of all the songs on my first three Cd's-51 songs-many were
my best sellers.The Orchard continued to sell both my CD's and my MP3's and though
i tried to stop them-the Orchard stayed in denial-no matter what agency i sent after them-
Nobody seemed to be able to do anything-my music had been stolen and still remains that
way to this day.So take it from one who know's-stay away from The Orchard ! Far,Far Away.
Eventually i got a differant distributer-MAD Distribution-but the disruption that
The Orchard's Lies and Actions caused cost me thousands upon thousands of dollars and what i could fix took years and years of precious time and not to mention the mental pain and auguish.Stay Away From The Orchard-I Repeat-Stay Away From The Orchard.
The false statement that "The Wizard of Garage" is out of print is up on The Amazon page because "The Orchard" missrepresented itself to Amazon.com-they took on the guise
of being "The Manufacturer" and "The Disributer" so that they could keep selling my music
without paying me-and so far they've gotten' a way with it.The statement on the Amazon
Page that "The Wizard of Garage" is out of print really means that the Orchard has sold all
the copies that they were supposed to return to me-but never did.Instead they broke the law-stole all my CD's and sold them and now all the copies they stole from me of "The Wizard of Garage" they have sold illegally,Kept all the money and didn't pay me a red cent.
Stay Away From The Orchard-Let This Be A Lesson-Stay Far Far Away from the Orchard
