Image

We’re just a couple of weeks away from the release of Michael Jackson’s new album, #Xscape!

In preparation for this amazing event, various fan groups who stand united in support of Xscape have decided to dedicate the following dates for #MJXscape twitterthons!

Thursday-May 1, 2014: During the iHeartRadio Music Awards on NBC(will provide live stream link when its available)

Sunday May 4, 2014: Any time throughout the day. U.S will begin during Rocking 4 Roses 5pm ET

Sunday May 11. 2014: Any time throughout the day. U.S will begin during Rocking 4 Roses 5pm ET

Tuesday May 13, 2014: 12:01am ET Hopefully we’ll be able to have our good friend Marty back online in time for him to host a listening party on his Justin.TV channel!

The hashtag for these twitterthons will be #MJXscape.

A few things to remember when trying to get a trending topic.

  • RT the bigger accounts like fan group accounts to get top tweets.
  • Once we get the hashtag trending, switch to COPYING AND PASTING tweets instead of RTing. In other words, limit how much you use the RT button.
  • Try to avoid using too many hashtags in one tweet.
  • Some of the best tweets come from incorporating song lyrics, so have some #MJXscape song lyrics handy!

Some great fan/fan group twitter accounts to follow can be found below:

MJ Estate vs. IRS

MJ Truth Now

It is evident, based on reading comments on social network sites, there is confusion regarding the dispute between the Michael Jackson Estate and the United States Internal Revenue Service (IRS.) The dispute revolves around the valuation of Michael Jackson’s assets at the time of his passing, June 25, 2009, the debt associated with those assets, and the estate tax owed by the Estate of Michael Jackson. Ivy from the fan site, Daily Michael, has published an excellent blog, “Opinion: MJ Estate vs. IRS basics and catalog valuations” which discusses this very complex subject. The blog is in two parts with the first part focusing on Estate tax, valuation, market and tax value of the song publishing catalogs, Mijac and Sony/ATV. Part two will focus on valuation of image.

There are two very important concepts related to understanding this issue:

1. Valuation of assets are determined upon the date of death.

Screen Shot 2014-04-23 at 12.24.10 AM “The subject of Mr. Brainwash comes up and John (Branca) shares that as he drives to work everyday there is a liquor store he passes. He must have driven by it literally 1,000s of times and never really noticed anything special about it but this one day he sees a painting of Marilyn Monroe in the window and thinks, “That is really different.”

Each day after he continues to notice that painting… it seems to jump out at him. Then on a subsequent day he passes a billboard on the same route and there is the most interesting painting which he is very drawn to. Finally he stops at the liquor store to inquire who did the painting… he researches the billboard for the same answer and learns the same artist did them both… Mr. Brainwash.

They contact Mr. Brainwash to come in for a meeting asking him to bring…
