I've noticed two new artists out there using the "umami" moniker--a rock band out of NY and an electropop band out of Sweden. The NY rock band seems to be somewhat aggressively staking out their territory with the name, especially on lastfm.com, where they've made it clear that there are two artists with the name. The Swedish band claims to be releasing an album in April, which should be a surprise if they try to sell through iTunes... So, I'm wondering if anyone has any advice on how to deal with these folks, or if I should worry at all? Should I contact them, or, particularly, the label for the Swedes? I'm reluctant to join an organization like BMI or ASCAP because of their close ties to the RIAA, but might it be a good way to establish a precendent for the name? I'll be buggered if I'm going to give up umami, especially since I've already released an album under the name...

I think once the image gets X number of votes, it is OKed and now used as umami's p[rofile pic.
I can't vote for it either, but I can see it.

I think because I am the artist, and I uploaded the pic, it's not vote-able. Why it becomes the second pic choice is beyond me. I believe only listener-submitted photos are allowed to be voted on.
