Rainmaker Publicity Announces the Release of Die Warzau's Newest CD Convenience on Pulseblack Records

It has been more than eight years since anyone last heard from Die Warzau. But with Convenience, the groups fourth studio album, this seminal industrial band does everything it possibly can to prove it has been well worth the wait.

Convenience, released via the new Pulseblack label, was produced live in the bands own studio and stands out as its catchiest and most infectious album yet. With it, Die Warzau further cements its reputation as a leader in electronic innovation by blending styles and genres with ease. The founding duo of Van Christie and Jim Marcus remains intact, but is now complimented by Abel Garibaldi and Dan Evans. Christies production is raw and aggressive as always, but despite the wild complexity of each song, the material remains strangely accessible. Marcus vocal range has grown over the years, and now includes a depth unknown to most industrial artists. Meanwhile, the contributions of Garibaldi and Evans only add to the stylistic and technical prowess of the band as a whole.... (Continue reading)

CMPS Institute Responds to the Recent Fed Rate Cuts

The Fed lowered the Federal Funds rate from to 5.25% to 3% through a series of recent actions from September 18, 2007 through January 30, 2008.

"Most people are confused as to how the Fed rate cuts impact their mortgage," said Gibran Nicholas, Chairman of the CMPS Institute, an organization that certifies mortgage bankers and brokers. The Federal Funds Rate is the interest rate that banks charge each other for lending short term funds here in the United States and will have an immediate impact on two other rates that directly affect home owners and buyers:

Prime rate – Prime is set at 3% above of the Fed funds rate (6%) and is the base retail rate that banks use for home equity lines of credit and business loans. Therefore, if you have an adjustable rate home equity line of credit, your interest rate will go down as a result of the Fed’s actions.

LIBOR rate – The London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) is the rate that banks charge each other for lending short term funds anywhere outside of the US, primarily in the London money markets. If you are a bank in need of short-term funds, you could borrow money from other banks in the US using the Fed funds rate, or you could borrow money from any bank in the world that deals in the money markets. Borrowing from the money markets is a more flexible option primarily because banks these days do business globally with many sources as opposed to doing business only in the US with limited sources. The London money market is the largest and most fluid of all other money markets, so LIBOR is the most accurate measure of banks’ borrowing costs available today. Therefore, LIBOR is used as the “index” or base rate on most adjustable rate mortgages in the United States. If your adjustable rate mortgage is tied to LIBOR, as most are, your rate will go down as a result of the Fed’s actions.

The Fed, LIBOR and Sub-prime:

“LIBOR was the primary index used on most sub-prime adjustable rate mortgages (ARMs)”, Nicholas said. “Therefore, after the fixed period expires and these interest rates adjust, the new interest rates and payments will be based on LIBOR.”... (Continue reading)
