"Tommy Lee & Scott Humphry are reinventing the traditional
label model with the release of Tommy's album "Tommyland The Ride," and having
Promo Only service the first single "Tryin To Be Me" was critical in making sure
we could service radio on a national level all a the same time and in a secure
fashion," said Bob Divney of CO5, Tommy Lee's promotion team. "Promo Only's
Digital delivery system is also model breaking and is the future of music
distribution for labels to get their music to radio."

first artist to come to us asking specifically for Promo Only MPE to distribute
his music," said Dean Ernst, Director of the Promo Only MPE project. "He is a

more artists demanding our service."

Me" was made available to radio at 5:00pm ET on Tuesday, May 17th, 2005. The new
album will be available in stores on August 2nd, 2005.

portable.
