Hi all, below is the link to Sonic Bids where we have an open contest for new talent to debut at Blue Coast Records Collection 2. The disc will be recorded in 2009 and released later that year. For details, please click on the link below.

Through the years, we have been exposed to extraordinary talent. It's overwhelming at times. We believe Sonic Bids provides us an interesting solution to organizing the talented artists for us and reaching beyond our usual group. If you have a friend you think is capable of extraordinary studio performances, please send them to our link.
We'll be announcing a decision at the end of Sept 2008.
thanks again!

Incredible Review and Response on Home Cinema.fr Blog!
Home Cinema in English
Hi Friends, one of our fans, Guy Bollore, bought the Blue Coast Collection SACD from what he read on this French website and forum. I found the google translator and asked Guy to post a note for me in French to offer thanks for all the kind words about the disc.
The power of the internet is amazing! People responded so positively to my visit, Jean Claude Reynaud wrote in. It brought an incredible flurry of activity for both Jean and myself and amazing responses that led to France becoming the number one country to visit our site overtaking even the USA! Amazing.
The fans at Home Cinema especially like Jane Selkye and Garret Brennan. I expect they had d flurry of activity at their website, too.
The internet is an incredible tool. It brings together people from around the world to unite in what they are passionate about. Music has no language barriers.

Mid February Blue Coast Newsletter
Hello friends! I hope the New Year finds you well! The last month has been incredible with so much energy. CES and THE Show were spectacular. In early February, our friend, Brenda Vaughn visited us from Japan. She's an American native now living in Tokyo. On that same day, we had the largest number of Japanese visitor since our website debuted. For the first time, Japan overtook France as the country where we received the most visits. Next week, we will debut our website in 9 languages, including Japanese, simple Chinese and Korean.
This morning I woke to a flurry of activity from our online store. A review came out in France online.
French Review on Home Cinema
As I do with all purchases online, I respond with questions about how they heard about us and was given the link by a wonderful person named Guy. I found a google translator and managed to read the review and write a response. Guy was kind enough to post if for me since I didn't know how to join in French. What better day than to be surrounded by many adoring French men who buy my disk! There are certainly a lot of problems with our lives dominated by computers, but having so many friends in a community who loves your music is not one of them!
More updates at my personal blog:

You can receive an RSS feed, if you like. There I discuss all kinds of topics that are on my mind.
We're looking forward to our 2nd release in Spring 2008. Check back to our website often. Please feel free to send emails and stay in touch!

Backstage at Cirque de Soleil with Derek Jones
Top left to right, John La Grou (founder Millennia Media), Derek Jones (bassist, KA, Cirque de Soleil), Patrick O'Connor (manager, Blue Coast Records),
Front, Cookie Marenco (founder, Blue Coast Records).
During CES, Derek invited us to a performance of KA. The show is visually stunning and magical as you watch floating stages move sideways over 12 stories of open air. Derek gave us an incredible tour behind the scenes and detailed the mechanics of how it was done. We met monitor engineer, Mike Atwood, who showed us how he tracks 230 individual wireless monitors.
KA is playing at the MGM Grand, Las Vegas.
Derek can be heard on hundreds of recordings, having been on many OTR sessions and touring with Nickel Creek and Jerry Douglass. He's recorded with Blue Coast artists Rob Ickes and Tony Furtado.
