Another service that
mp3.com offers is its music
licensing program, which allows
artists to upload their music
into a database that is accessible
to those with interest in finding
songs for commercial use.
Wilson also said that the

around the world is enhanced
with sites like mp3.com.

“It's amazing how easy it is.
It’s almost scary,” Wilson said.
Wilson said that with mp3
files and wave files, he can
record music tracks that have
been sent via e-mail or someone
could record music on some
thing he has e-mailed.
“You look at albums that are
being recorded by major record
ing labels, and a lot of times, the
artists who sing the songs never
even meet or see the person that
plays guitar, or the guy that
plays the bass and the drums are
recording in Kansas City and
they send that to Nashville,” he
said.
“And now it’s pretty neat that
the unsigned musicians can
have a chance to do a similar
thing,” Wilson said.
James Passolt, a UNL junior
business and philosophy major
and the artist behind the
Lincoln band Trinity Sound
System, an act that makes $50 to
$75 a month on the site, said he
likes mp3.com because it's free
and a great way for people to get
their music out
“I get e-mails every day from
people all over the world that lis
ten to my songs, and they like
them,” he said.
Passolt also said that one of
the differences between
mp3.com and Napster is that
although people say they visit
Napster to find new music, they
probably don't. But with
mp3.com, new music is always
featured.
f “You don’t go there to look
for Metallica or bands you’ve
heard of before,” he said. “If you
go in there, you are looking for
new music.”

Second Gty
to amuse
Lied Center
audiences
BY SEAN MCCARTHY
The touring company that
spawned some of the most recog
nized talents on Saturday Night
Live will perform at the Lied
Center for Performing Arts
tonight
The Second City has been
performing its comedic blend of
songs, skits and improvisation for
more than 40 years. Past mem
bers of The Second City comedy
troupe include John Belushl,
Mike Myers, Gilda Radner, Chris
Farley and Joan Rivers.
Stuart Ranson, an actor with
The Second City, has been with
the Chicago-based ensemble for
more than two years. One of the
keys for The Second City per
formances is audience participa
tion.
Ranson said the group ran
into trouble when they per
formed at a club in New York
state. When the troupe asked the
audience to name a scene, every
one in the audience came up with
a lewd suggestion.
“People were saying ‘whore
house’ for a setting,” Ranson said.
“And we would have to take the
exact setting the audience gives
you because that is one of the
rules for The Second City.”
Celeste Pechous, a touring
actress for The Second City, said
she improvises about 30 percent
of her material for every perform
ance. Pechous said the acting
troupe is always there to catch
her during the more awkward
bits of improvisation. However,
sometimes the actors can be too
funny
“There are some scenes peo
ple will pull out, and you will try
so hard not to laugh,” she said.
The Second City perform
ance tonight will feature a “best
of” series of skits as well as new
skits and, of course, improvisa
tion. In past performances,
actors would go out in the audi
ence and ask members to read
headlines from newspapers.
They would then construct a skit
around those headlines.
Pechous has been touring
with the group for about eight
months. Before that, she worked
in radio and had some writing
gigs. She once wrote knock
knock jokes for the Dixie Cup
Company.
So far this year, The Second
City has performed throughout
the United States. They have
played in venues that have seated
anywhere from 50 to 1,400 peo
ple. The ensemble has formed a
tight chemistry from the exten
sive touring, Fedious said.
“You live and breath with
these people,” she said. “You fin
ish their sentences.”
The six-member ensemble
performs bits of improvisation as
well as songs and skits. The show
starts at 7:30 p.m. on Friday.
Tickets are $25 and can be pur
chased at the Lied Center box
office.
Proceeds from Friday's per
formance will go to the Lincoln
Lancaster County Habitat for
Humanity Women’s Build.
