HOLLYWOOD(Perfect Music Today) 11\/4\/19\/–Former Rosenbergs front man, David Fagin, and his producing partner Dan McLoughlin have announced the launch of Book Of The Month Club, a new band very much in the power pop vein of Fagin\u2019s much celebrated quartet and McLoughlin\u2019s, Push Stars.\u00a0\u00a0Fagin\u2019s vision for Book Of The Month Club, beyond its musical skew, is to offer the public an opportunity to acquire new music in a sequential way.\u00a0\u00a0The idea is that BOTM subscribers will be offered a new digital single with both virtual \u201cA\u201d and \u201cB\u201d sides delivered to their inbox each month.\u00a0\u00a0The debut single is \u201cLost,\u201d b\/w \u201cLove Will Only Get In The Way,\u201d both penned by Fagin and preceded by a video for \u201cLost\u201d \u00a0that can be seen and heard through this link:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Recorded at McLoughlin\u2019s Garden Street Studios in Hoboken NJ (\u201cSinatra\u2019s hometown,\u201d Fagin is quick to point out), the two tracks are the BOTM November selection for which users\/listeners\/collectors are charged $1.29.\u00a0 A full year\u2019s subscription (24 tracks), available on the band\u2019s website, is $9.99.\u00a0 Fagin described the thinking behind the effort: \u201cTo release a full-length album into the void, and watch it be swallowed up in five seconds by news of some Instagram queen\u2019s wardrobe malfunction and\/or engagement doesn\u2019t seem like the best way to go. Besides, do albums even exist anymore?\u00a0 Because we are comparatively dinosaurs and grew up listening to these things called \u2018records,\u2019 we thought it would be fun to do a \u2018slow burn\u2019 and release a new track each month, akin to a musical book club.\u00a0 And, in the style of the old 45 rpm singles, each track will include a B-side, bringing the total to an amazingly generous two (!) tracks every month.\u00a0<\/span>This will give BOTM subscribers\/followers something new to look forward to every few weeks, as well as keep our profile out there for more than a five-minute window.\u00a0 At least that\u2019s the idea.\u201d

More about BOTM\u2019s David Fagin:<\/span><\/div>\n

A gifted composer, vocalist and pop theoretician, David Fagin has long been an advocate for artists rights and, perhaps, therein lies part of the reason that he\u2019s not become a household name over the course of his lengthy career.\u00a0\u00a0 He founded The Rosenbergs, an iconic New York-based power pop quartet and, due to his belief in changing the way artists and labels relate, he ultimately received far more attention for what he said than for the music he played. While his outspoken advocacy earned praise from luminaries such as Michael Stipe, Gene Simmons and Courtney Love, leading to his writing for Billboard and The Huffington Post. It also kept the band from mainstream radio\/recognition.\u00a0 Fagin even\u00a0<\/span>lectured on the business of music at Harvard and NYU and testified on Capitol Hill at the C.A.R.P. hearings.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>All Music Guide noted, \u201cThe Rosenbergs\u00a0<\/span>have gained more attention for their intransigent relationship toward the music business than for their music.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Partnering with DGM (<\/span>Discipline Global Mobile)<\/span>, the UK label founded by legendary King Crimson guitar virtuoso, Robert Fripp, The Rosenbergs\u2019 business model helped pave the way for other artists to rethink the entire structure of how they did business as did their much publicized partnership with file sharing giant Napster.\u00a0 These way-before-their-time-moves were the start of a serious dialogue about the possibility of \u201cpartnerships\u201d – giving artists a share in the ownership of their masters, and, thus,\u00a0better control of their financial futures while allowing labels to benefit from additional revenue streams beyond record sales.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

While Fagin was stirring things up on the panel circuit, his music somehow seeped out; he penned a theme song for a CBS sitcom, shared stages with No Doubt, The Strokes, Duran Duran, Alex Chilton, Echo and The Bunnymen and appeared on Carson Daly five straight nights, was a regular guest on Dennis Miller Live and wound up on The Howard Stern Show along with Kiss\u2019 Gene Simmons. He also appeared on EXTRA and The Today Show. His music has been used by such major retailers as\u00a0<\/span>The Gap<\/span>,\u00a0<\/span>Nordstrom<\/span>\u00a0and\u00a0<\/span>Starbucks<\/span>. His song \u201cBoston Strong, written in the aftermath of the bombings, was chosen as the theme for the 2014 Boston Marathon and released through iTunes by Universal Music.<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>David and his writing partner donated all proceeds for the song to the Onefund to benefit victims of the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing.<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>For his efforts in this regard, Fagin and his partner, Jamie Hazan, were honored by the New York Mets at Citi Field for being \u201cOutstanding Teammates in the Community.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

When he\u2019s not writing, recording and causing trouble, David fronts The Counterfeiters who have been described as \u201cthe best 80s\/90s party band in the universe.\u201d\u00a0 Feel free to hire them for your next function:\u00a0<\/span>https:\/\/www.thecounterfeitersband.com\/<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n
