Pandora has stopped paying performers who recorded before 1972. A bizarre interpretation of copyright law by Pandora, Sirius and Clear Channel has led these companies to seemingly collude and simultaneously stop paying artists on all pre-1972 sound recordings. We suspect this is likely the work of Artist Enemy #1 Chris Harrison of Pandora.
That means the Estate of Gil Scott Heron will not be paid performer royalties for Pandora’s commercial exploitation of this song. It should be noted that as much as we criticize Spotify they at least ask permission and then pay for the right to use this song. Pandora does neither.
International Anthem Recording Co. (IARC) is a new record label on the eve of creation by us – David Allen, Joe Darling, and Scottie McNiece of Uncanned Music – to promote the work of artists we’ve presented and recorded in Chicago, Illinois.
About Us
We started Uncanned Music in 2011 to provide unique soundtracks for spaces – to supervise music and customize playlists for bars and restaurants.

Free Marissa Now and thousands of Marissa Alexander’s supporters around the world are strongly disappointed that the Florida courts on July 18 denied Marissa a fair hearing to support her right to self-defense under Florida’s Stand Your Ground laws. Yet again, Florida refuses to free this survivor of domestic violence and undermines women’s right to self defense, though it failed to convict two white men for the murder of two innocent black teen boys. It appears that Florida courts place less value on a young black mother’s fear in the midst of a life-threatening attack and more value on the anger and unsupported fear of two white men.
Nine days after a premature birth, Marissa Alexander harmed no one when she fired a warning shot to stop another life-threatening attack by her estranged husband. She faces possibly sixty years in prison as a result of prosecution by the state of Florida. Is Marissa being used as an example?
Incarceration happens more frequently when black people are convicted of crimes, but women of color who are victims of domestic violence serve more time for self-defense. Female incarceration rates show 78% of inmates are Black and Latina and most women in prison have been victims of abuse. This should not happen to anyone. Mass incarceration of women is a lucrative business at the stake of women’s lives and the well-being of families.
The J4JA Brass Band will be back out on the streets, bringing their message to NYC jazz clubs and their patrons: that jazz musicians deserve pension, fair pay, and recording protections!
