I don't think it's any secret how glad I am to see this.
Does anyone think they will start to put out more PRs to get everything up to date, or do you think they will just start with this new, and move forward from here?
SpongeBath
Great! I have done the same, but haven't received a response yet either. Would be nice to get some kind of update.
Hey, I could be going blind, but were the photos of the coffee shop already up on the Ibox, or did Slaz just put them up yesterday, at my request?
In either case, I do feel the Ibox needs some jazzing up.
It will show our enthusiasm over this company IMO.
SpongeBath
Pump, and dump is your opinion.
Companies always put a positive spin on their accomplishments, but the pumping I saw on BIHC was done on the message boards. The only dumping was done by shareholders, and short sellers outside the company.
Please show me your evidence that the company ever dumped any shares.
Thanks,
SpongeBath
You're making allot of accusations. Links would be greatly appreciated.
SpongeBath
Really! Can you show court cases, convictions etc. to support your allegations.
I've done a background check on the man, and he is squeaky clean.
Try it yourself. You may be surprised.
SpongeBath
Awesome pictures Slaz. This is a great start. Let's show members looking at this board that we are enthused about this company.
Go SIGO!!!
Thanks,
SpongeBath
Something has been holding them up, probably the pinksheets.com SEC paperwork. They are reluctant to put out PR's until that is all cleared.
Then they should at least report that. This information is important to investors, and they should be telling everyone exactly where they are in the process.
Slaz, I think all of us, very much appreciate all of your efforts. None of this is intended to reflect on you, or the great job you are doing.
Thank you, and keep up the fantastic work,
SpongeBath
Slaz,
Can you put some pictures from Sunset Island's website in the Ibox. Example: the Coffee Shop, or maybe show some of their selections of soap, incense, coffee, and music (when they finally get a decent selection of music for sale).
This waiting on them week after week has got to end now IMO.
Let's liven things up ourselves, and force their hand.
enough is enough IMO. This company has too much potential, and too much to share with the world to be hiding from the public.
Please let's at least jazz up the Ibox.
TIA,
SpongeBath
They have provided allot of ways to send them messages, both publicly, and privately. We even have a phone number for Michael.
It's time to start bombarding them with posts, emails, and phone calls.
I have always been cordial, and patient with them, both on the phone, and in messages, until now.
They just don't get it.
They are missing out big time, by not reporting everything they are doing, since they've gone public.
As I have said, more investors means more people that will get the word out, and buy product.
You can't get more investors if the investment community doesn't know you exist.
They have got to start using PRnewswire, or Marketwire, and bring all the news up to date through them.
This is the first public company I have ever seen that had good news to report, but chose to hide it from the investors.
Get your act together SIGO. We're dying out here.
JMHO,
SpongeBath
It's time for us to light a fire under SIGO.
This waiting around is getting old quickly.
This board is all but dead. There are few if any comments on their blog posts, and no new musicians are signing up to sell their music.
I have been busy posting comments, and sending messages such as this;
I would sure like to see some of these bands get noticed.
Maybe it's finally time to put the word out trough more mainstream PR outlets like Marketwire, or PRnewswire.
It's possible more bands would sign up to sell their music if you would do more to generate customer traffic to your website.
Get the news out to investors SIGO. They will generate activity, and customers.
It's time to go for it SIGO.
What are you waiting for?
IMO, if all of us would start posting on their Fasebook Wall, post comments on blog posts on their Myspace page, and website, and send messages to Michael's email, through Myspace, and their website, maybe they would finally get the message.
Further, this board is on life support.
One or two posts a day, and sometimes none for days is no way to get the word out.
This company has allot going for it, but nobody knows about it.
No volume except some selling, day after day is just not acceptable.
There is allot to talk about with this company. Let's throw around ideas about what is possible with this company, what they have accomplished, what kind of potential revenue they could produce, or anything, even if it is just to share your favorite musicians on their site.
Anything would be better than sitting here watching them stagnate.
I don't have a lawn at my house, but if I did, I would be really tired of watching it grow.
JMHO,
SpongeBath
I have called Michael twice, and emailed him as well. Emails do not receive the quickest response, and unfortunately the answers don't always fit the questions.
During the first phone call, I was told that the PR about going public would be out on PR Newswire, or Marketwire in one, or two days. I posted that on this board.
Obviously there was some kind of delay, so I called again a week later (sent an email as well, that didn't get a direct response to my concern).
On the second call, I was at first made to feel like I was bothering Michael. He explained that he was getting hundreds of emails, and phone calls with suggestions. However, he never really addressed my concern about being told the PRs would be out in a more public way in a day or two, and that not being the case.
He also stated that the company was not concerned about the share price at this time, but in getting the company on track toward reaching some of it's goals.
I told him I thought that if the company made good progress, the share price would take care of itself, and he agreed.
JMO, but I don't think he realizes that it's not a good idea to tell a shareholder that you are not concerned about the share price at any time. I don't think he meant it to come across that way, but if your job is Investor Relations, I think you need to establish the best relations possible with investors.
I chalk most of this up to growing pains, and it was good to hear that they are getting a big response. I just feel that the response should translate into volume, and so far it has not.
Again JMHO,
SpongeBath
Slaz,
They could make a public announcement to inform everyone about how far they have come, where they are today, and start their PR campaign now.
It looks pretty bad when you go to Yahoo Finance, and see
"No Headlines available for SIGO.PK at this time."
At least they could post their previous PRs with PR Newswire, or Marketwire, so people can see their is some activity.
They should at least have the news about SIGO taking over the shell, so people won't think this is still the old company.
The news is available on otcmarkets.com
( http://www.otcmarkets.com/pink/quote/quote.jsp?symbol=sigo )
if you click on NEWS, so why not make it available to be read on Yahoo Finance?
This just confuses the friends they have notified on Myspace, Facebook, and their website.
Time to get this ball rolling IMO.
SpongeBath
Slaz, Have you been in touch with the company lately? It would be nice to get some idea of their plans, and a time line for future developments.
SpongeBath
It would help if they put out some mainstream news like Michael said they would a few weeks ago.
SpongeBath
Anyone see this blog entry from yesterday?

Update
Category: Music
Sunset Island Music would like to Thank everyone that has sent as the many suggestions, both good and not so good, over the past few months. Believe me, we read every one of them. And though we don't respond back directly to those of you, we do truly appreciate it. Some, we even have put to use.
We also want to give a SHOUT OUT to one of the LEGENDS of Rock, a founder of THE MOVE, the first band to played on the BBC Radio 1, and of the ELECTRIC LIGHT ORCHESTRA, Mr. BEV BEVAN, the highly acclaimed drummer! He has his own show on the BBC and a FRIEND to us here at Sunset Island Music. He recently send us a note saying "love what you are doing. I had a listen to some of the bands. Great."
WE ARE GETTING NOTICED AND WE ARE BECOMING A FORCE IN THE WORLD OF MUSIC!!
HELP US SPREAD THE WORD AND GET PEOPLE TO LISTEN TO OUR RADIO!
Also, we have added several new bands to the rotation including:
CANYON
WAR TAPES
OBJAYDA
36,645 friends on myspace, and counting
No need for insults Senator.
SpongeBath
Or, maybe just sell 1.5M, keep 500K, and when it hits $10 I'll have 5M.
SpongeBath
Rum, and beer.
SpongeBath
I'll try, but a couple of million dollars would be hard to pass up.
SpongeBath
Hey, they can have all of mine for a buck a share.
SpongeBath
Not yet. Lots of bears though.
SpongeBath
No, actually it's near Washington, California, on Poorman Creek.

SpongeBath
P.S. So what's the rumor?
And hey, you been looking at my profile.
Sunset Island is a pretty nice place, and getting better all the time.
So what's the rumor Senator?
I'm a gold prospector, and recently had to buy my own claim cause these stocks sure aren't paying off yet. I already found some good gold on it, but need to go back and work if for several days in a row to get any quantity.
Can't watch the market from my claim, and been afraid I would miss the big run while away.
Do you think we're going to get a PR soon? The company has just been too quiet lately.
SpongeBath
It's all good. The fresh buyers should be coming in soon enough. Now that we have a mall, and sell coffee (addictive) too, it won't take much longer for this stock to get noticed.
JMHO,
SpongeBath
OK, I just bought 10,000 shares at the ask. Hope that makes every one's accounts look a little better now. I know mine does.
Anyone else want to slap the ask a bit? I'm tapped out.
SpongeBath
Slaz, they have a mall on that site. They also sell incense, soap, and a small amount of music.
All they need now is a button, or tab on Sunset Island Music site to link to that mall, and start adding products. I want a t-shirt, hat, and a coffee mug. Oh yeah, and some board shorts, aloha shirts, and flip flops would be nice too lol. How about Sunset Island Rum, and beer.
SpongeBath
We are in the coffee business now? This is getting better all the time. I wonder if they have a coffee club I can join, so I can get it sent to me on a regular basis.
III lllove cccoffee.
SPspspongggeBBBath
For NITE, borrowing, or creating out of thin air lol, is faster than finding actual shares, and they don't want to be beaten to the sale/commission IMO.
SpongeBath
I read an explanation that was given to someone on another board. When NITE wants to make a sale to a buying customer, and doesn't have the shares immediately available, they borrow them, cover later, and it gets counted as a short sale.
Just what I read.
SpongeBath
Good to see they posted something on Myspace. Now where is the PR? Michael said it would be posted by yesterday.
I'm guessing they are a little slow on deciding what should be in it.
SpongeBath
Something else must be getting counted as short sales. I bought 25,000 yesterday @ .048 (first block of 20,000, and a block of 5,000 after the trade at the bid took us down to .04), and there was one trade at the bid for 14,600.
That's it, that's all of yesterday's volume.
SpongeBath
KAJA WHITEHOUSE is a shill for hedge funds with a massive short interest in SPNG stock, IMO. It wouldn't surprise me a bit to see her, and the New York Post on a defendant list in some future law suit. Only time will tell.
SpongeBath
Can't believe only 700 shares traded today.
Are we the only ones in the world that know
about this stock?
Sure not seeing much of a reaction to the
news on Facebook, or Myspace.
SpongeBath
Between my friend, my girlfriend, and I, 220,000 of the 250,000 volume today was purchases by us. All orders were at .05 except one of my orders for 50,000 went through at .0475. Looks like NITE still has shares at .05.
This could be one of the last days to get them this cheap.
I'm just sayin!
JMHO,
SpongeBath
Michael told me that they will be issuing PRs through Marketwire tomorrow, or next day with more information. Marketwire told them it takes 24 hours to get a PR out through them, and they wanted the news out right away. That's why they used freepressrelease.com today. Michael also said they have allot more news to get out, so we should be seeing a few PRs coming out over the next few days.
Hope everyone has the shares they want.
Here we go!!!
SpongeBath
E-Trade says they don't change the symbol until they get the new shares from the company. That could take up to five days. However, they said I could trade for now, if I wanted to, by calling in the orders.
SpongeBath
I agree Jimmy. If you shorted this last Wednesday, now would be a great time to cover, and get out.
SpongeBath
Corrected link for the Declaration Dates on the Daily List.
ARTS is not listed.
http://www.otcbb.com/asp/dailylist_search.asp?SearchDateForm=TRUE&OTCBB=OTCBB&searchbydate=dividends&div_date=declaration_date&fromdate=03%2F01%2F2010&todate=04%2F30%2F2010&searchdate.x=25&searchdate.y=6
Wow CaptainJim, I think you need to take your own advise before being so emphatic in your statements.
Please read the link provided by SPECWARII. Here it is again.
http://www.investopedia.com/articles/02/110802.asp
Now it is possible that this is considered a special dividend. In that case, the Ex Date will be the day after the Payable Date.
However, dividends can not be paid, and dates set by a PR alone. These things must be recorded with FINRA, and will be on the Daily List, as well as dividend calendars provided by your broker, as well as a few other sources.
No Declaration Date from 03/01/2010 to 4/30/2010
http://www.otcbb.com/asp/dailylist_search.asp?SearchDateForm=TRUE&OTCBB=OTCBB&searchbydate=dividends&div_date=record_date&fromdate=04%2F14%2F2010&todate=04%2F16%2F2010&searchdate.x=29&searchdate.y=10
No Record Date from 04/01/2010 to 04/30/2010
http://www.otcbb.com/asp/dailylist_search.asp?SearchDateForm=TRUE&OTCBB=OTCBB&searchbydate=dividends&div_date=record_date&fromdate=04%2F01%2F2010&todate=04%2F30%2F2010&searchdate.x=29&searchdate.y=11
Ask your broker if this company is scheduled to bay a stock dividend. Point out the PRs. Wanna bet he says he sees nothing about it other than the PRs.
I have been through a spin off/stock divi when RSHN spun off APRU. I remember very well how the system worked then. The system has not changed. Just call your broker. If you don't like the answer, ask for someone more knowledgeable on the subject.
Please refrain from insinuating others on this board are stupid, or lying. Some of us have real experiences to share.
Thanks,
SpongeBath
When you spoke to Management, did you ask them why the dividend is not on the Daily List?
I called, and emailed them on Friday, and have not received a reply. I own this stock for reasons other than the dividend, but so far this divi is being handled in a very unusual way. I'm not concerned, as I feel if there is a problem, or mistake, they will correct it, but it would be nice to get answers to some questions.
