Bad Music Inc. aka just BAD MUSIC is the name of the game when it come to John Fulton's guitar playing and singing on The Stream dot tv. John is the bastard twin brother of famous comedian Dane Cook. Attempting, however poorly, to follow in his successful brother's footsteps. John has been working hard to make it as a struggling musician and "entertainer" on several of the new various web based entertainment sites, most recently on TheStreamDotTV. There, once a week, he does his best to re-create the guitar magic that Adam Sandler created with twisted ballads like "A moment with John" and one of the shows segment theme songs, "Strictly Platonic". Unfortunately aside from a few cliché cords and the obligatory obscenities, he falls far short of actually producing anything resembling creative humor. Most viewers comment on his Dane Cook-like appearance more than his pick-work and voice. Sporting short sleeved polo shirts shrunk to fit tight, he dresses like he shops in the little boys department. A chronic avoidance of shaving completes the"I'm cool. I don't give a sh@t" look that appears to be his trademark. Well, I guess you really do get what you pay for these days! -Papoose, Rolling Stone

formed 2004; London Borough of Haringey, North London, UK), also known as B.M.I., are an alternative, rock, blues and hip hop act. Their songs cover a wide range of sounds yet make for appealing listening.

Vocalist/MC Michelle Antoinette was a soft furnishings designer from Queens, New York before meeting Guitarist/Vocalist and songwriter Elliott James in a chance encounter at a London pub whilst visiting UK relatives. Before fully devoting himself to music, James worked as a Bartender and tape runner.

Elliott James plays almost all instruments on their tracks and, along with Michelle, produces their records.

Their lyrics mainly deal with the reality of suppressed rights and general disappointment though they claim they are not political. When asked about this, Elliott James commented:

“ What's political about exercising basic, everyday rights to question or disagree with somebody or voice your opinion? If you don't enact anything wrongful towards a person and just speak for yourself, why can't this be accepted as an individuals right? We just feel it's wrong to dumb down if you feel different, even if the majority claim to disagree. There's no politics in that just common sense surely!? ”

They featured on XFM (104.9 FM) when DJ Claire Sturgess played their self-financed single Not Good Enough! in 2005.

The group released the home studio–produced debut album Music For The Imaginative in August 2006.
