I posted this earlier :

" Why couldn't they become a member at 365.com for $ 70 a year and play Vegas Vic's Tiki Lounge commercial free 24 hours a day ? "

365.com pays ASCAP and BMI . Members pay $ 70 for internet radio to 365 . Why couldn't TV use Vegas Vics ? Could someone please explain ?

One reason is Vegas Vic's plays some of the Exotica that Trader Vic's doesn't want...that's what they call "the stuff that puts you to sleep." Personally I love it, but they want more "upbeat" Exotica...Also getting them to figure out how to hook up internet radio to their sound system would be like trying to get them to jump through a whole other hoop. I will mention it though, next time I talk to the big kahunas.

You would think that the music played on Vegas Vics would be a perfect mood & atmosphere maker for just about anybody . I mean , if this music was played at a biker bar I could understand ...
