Shaq and Burnlounge 2.0

Shaq puts out his own Burnlounge 2.0 commercial and says that Burnlounge is here to stay. He also said that he wanted to be the biggest retailer in Burnlounge.

The future of Burnlounge is very clear; the most dynamic entertainment company in the world. With the launch of 2.0 we will be the first company in history to have both all of the major music content and all of the major film content in one seamless platform. 2007 will be a year that an entire industry changes and you ladies and gentlemen are perfectly positioned to take advantage of this amazing opportunity.

For more information go to my site, click on Burnlounge and watch the commercial. If you want to become a retailer or have more questions, email me at mario@giventocast.com and I'll send you a PDF file that should answer most of your questions or email through the Burnlounge site.

BurnLounge & Epi. 26

Hey guys,

Episode 27 is coming out tomorrow and it's good one. I have a another great Interview with a Fan and I'm bringing back the Triva Question segment. Hint: It will be based on Episode 26.

I also want to let everyone know that I am now an independent retailer for BURNLOUNGE.

What is BURNLOUGE? It's my own online music store and soon (early 2007) you can also download movies, ringtones, ebooks, games and merchandise.

That's right, you can now download music directly from my site right now, including your favorite band, Pearl Jam and it's 100% legal.

You can download whole albums or just the tracks you want. You can choose from thousands of songs from some of the biggest artists of today and of the past for as little as 99 cents per song. You can do what you are already doing and help out Given To Cast at the same time. Downloads are 100% legal and the price is the same as iTunes or any other online music store out there.

Here's the best thing about BurnLounge, you can do the same thing I'm doing and earn reward points that you can trade in for merchandise or earn some extra cash.

Other than Pearl Jam... Alice In Chains show

Hey Guys,
Just wanted to chime in on the Alice in Chains show I saw last week here in Corpus Christi. Awesome show. For those who haven't seen the latest incarnation of AIC, you won't be disappointed with the absense of Layne Staley. Though he is missed, the replacement singer, William DuVall does just to Lanye's vocal parts. All in all, a great show. Pictures above:

Show Notes:
