			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hey Everybody, today&#8217;s the official launch of <strong>MUSIC GIVES TO ST. JUDE KIDS!</strong></p>
<p>Music Gives to St. Jude Kids is a new music campaign we&#8217;ve started to benefit <strong>St. Jude Children&#8217;s Research Hospital.</strong></p>
<p>What we&#8217;re doing is asking artists, fans, &amp; music merchants to BAND TOGETHER to help save the lives of children battling cancer and other catastrophic diseases.</p>
<p>Whether it&#8217;s ticket surcharges, benefit shows, exclusive releases, text to donate campaigns, social media initiatives, or other something else&#8230;you&#8217;ll be hearing a lot more from us. And we want to thank you up front for your support as we continue to grow through the years.</p>
<p>We are incredibly honored that <strong>Sheryl Crow</strong>, <strong>Kings of Leon</strong>, &amp; <strong>Stone Temple Pilots</strong> have been the first artists to join this rock &#8216;n roll army alongside <strong>Live Nation</strong>, <strong>Ticketmaster</strong>, <strong>House of Blues</strong>, <strong>WME</strong>, &amp;<strong> Total Box Music </strong>to name a few&#8230;</p>
<p>Remember, at St. Jude no child is ever turned away because of their inability to pay.  That&#8217;s where we come in. Please, help us save children&#8217;s lives and join the fight &#8211;</p>
<p>Visit <strong><a href="http://stjude.org/musicgives" target="_blank">stjude.org/musicgives</a></strong> to learn more and donate!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Kingsize has written the theme song for a new CBS sitcom starring <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001542/" target="_blank">Jay Mohr</a>!</p>
<p><a title="GARY UNMARRIED" href="http://www.cbs.com/primetime/gary_unmarried/" target="_blank">GARY UNMARRIED</a> airs Wednesday nights at 8:30.</p>
<p>GARY UNMARRIED stars Jay Mohr and <span style="color: #fffe03;"><a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0005191/" target="_blank">Paula Marshall</a></span> in a comedy about Gary Brooks, a single painting contractor who&#8217;s trying to pursue a career in radio, and his controlling ex-wife, Allison, as they continue to face post-divorce mayhem after 15 years of marriage. He&#8217;s the fun parent and she&#8217;s the strict one.</p>
<p>Together, they share custody of their two children &#8211; Louise, a politically correct and environmentally conscious 12-year-old, and Tom, their socially awkward 15-year-old son who is nervous around girls.</p>
<p>In pursuit of post-marriage happiness, Gary strives to balance his eclectic world of an ex-wife, their two kids and a budding new career, all while trying to find the perfect mate.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On June 5th 1989, two days after thousands of Chinese students and labor activists were massacred in <a class="zem_slink" title="Tiananmen Square" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=39.9033333333,116.391666667&amp;spn=0.01,0.01&amp;q=39.9033333333,116.391666667%20%28Tiananmen%20Square%29&amp;t=h" rel="geolocation" target="_blank">Tiananmen Square</a>, a column of tanks made their way through the streets of Beijing for an unwelcome return&#8230; </p>
<p>It was then that a lone man stepped out into their path, stopping them dead in their tracks. &#8220;The Unknown Rebel&#8221;, as he is often called, held them off and kept them from advancing. When they made a move, he made a move. His message was clear. And for a brief moment, this one man was truly more powerful than an army. <span id="more-951"></span>His act of courage was only broken when some bystanders pulled him away&#8230; </p>
<p>No one ever knew for sure who the &#8220;The Unknown Rebel&#8221; or &#8220;<a class="zem_slink" title="Tank Man" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tank_Man" rel="wikipedia" target="_blank">Tank Man</a>&#8221; was but his bravery was felt around the world thanks to people like <a class="zem_slink" title="Jeff Widener" href="http://www.jeffwidener.com" rel="homepage" target="_blank">Jeff Widener</a>. </p>
<p>Jeff Widener is the photojournalist that took the famous image of the man standing up to the tanks. His photograph was nominated for the 1990 <a class="zem_slink" title="Pulitzer Prize" href="http://www.pulitzer.org/" rel="homepage" target="_blank">Pulitzer Prize</a> and was selected as one of the top ten most famous images of all time by America On Line. Kingsize are truly honored that Mr. Widener and AP/Wide World Photos have allowed them to be the first band to ever use the image as an album cover. </p>
<p>Our debut ep &#8220;The Good Fight&#8221; will be available online and at shows May 2008. Written and produced by Kingsize. Engineered and mixed by Chris Fuhrman. Mastered by two-time Grammy Award winner Gavin Lurssen.</p>
