Hi everyone,

New free album download on WM Recordings:

The Hathaway Family Plot - Wal*Mart-Approved Music
http://www.wmrecordings.com/releases/wm093.htm

The Hathaway Family Plot is a musician from Buffalo, New York, whose mission is to make music with whatever is at hand. The Hathaway Family Plot struggles, however futilely, against late-industrial capitalism, consumer culture, and music-as-commodity.

Inspired by the increasing practice of musicians sponsored by corporations, these 16 tunes are The Hathaway Family Plot's latest attempt to make music that is the anti-commodity: sloppy, unmarketable, and sometimes flagrantly difficult to listen to.

Also available here on Last.fm of course:

best wishes,
Marco

And now for something completely different… or not?

Imagine an old industrial building somewhere in a corner of town (let's say, brunkville), turned into a noisy game hall where silly eighties actionmovie characters play pinball and oldschool computer games - loud blipping and beeping (…insert coins to continue…) - everything with an indie kung fu flick air and a very very bad taste in clothes an hair styling… All this has a matching DIY eighties soundtrack filled with dusty hip hop beats, grooving bluesrock and straight forward metal riffs, heroic lo-fi guitar soloing and weird synth sounds - yes, bad…

Sat 14 Mar – Wayne Shorter Quartet

Gisteravond was het zover: Wayne Shorter live in het Muziekcentrum Frits Philips in Eindhoven. De door Marjolein geregelde vrijkaarten - in ruil voor wat promotie op m'n weblog en een paar andere sites - lagen klaar bij de kassa en na een drankje en een snelle kennismaking met diezelfde Marjolein (we hadden elkaar tot nu toe alleen telefonisch gesproken) kon het feest beginnen.

Rond 10 voor half 9 kwam Shorter samen met pianist Danilo Perez, bassist John Patitucci en drummer Brian Blade het podium op. Ze begonnen te spelen om letterlijk anderhalf uur…

Jazz legend Wayne Shorter will visit the Netherlands in March.
