LATEST ARTIST FEEDBACK

to Franklin Bruno... "i bought franklin bruno suggestion box back in high school and would love to get a digital copy for my computer. i have not perfected the cassette to computer transfer. is this possibly? suggestion box has remained one of my favorites and would love to hear the lunch i never had on my ipod itunes should really expand to all music. allutep5000"-- allutep5000 (on 08/15/10 23:40:49)

to Joseph Benzola... "Hey there Joe, not sure about you, but I started off as a "home-taper, cassette underground" guy way back in the early 80's, so it's kind of appropriately odd to wind up somehow there again at the other end of it. Okay, hope you're well enough and just wanted to say that your new CD's a real earful buffet, and it's an honor for me to belly-up to that bar my friend. So work the work, don't lose the faith, and keep your ears attached to your hands just in case your muse is on the loose your comrade, daniel"-- danstearns (on 07/23/10 22:46:51)

Living Archive Sept 2010 now available
blog from Don Campau

The September 2010 issue of The Living Archive Of Underground Music is now available.

http://www.doncampau.com/livingarchive.htm

After a month's hiatus that involved numerous computer issues and other delays, The Living Archive is back celebrating it's one year anniversary with all new content regarding Cassette Culture and underground music.

This month I am honored to bring you an interview with Hal McGee, one of the most important underground artists and creative forces of our time. This in depth piece may be the definitive interview with this essential and visionary artist.
I am also offering my own double tape set from 1987, "Pinata Party" as the Tape Of The Month with extensive notes about the making of this project and link to free download/streaming of the entire set.
There are also contributions by Jack Hertz who profiles Music From The Film ( a Baltimore area experimental group), Dan Susnara ( Chicago home taper) on meeting various home tapers, Pascal Dauzier ( of SJ Organisation and La Sonorite Jaune) in the Early Experiences section and much more.

As always, I welcome your comments and involvement with future issues of The Living Archive.

Recorderman Overhead Drum Mic Technique
youtube from Homemade Music

Here is a simple way to capture an entire drum kit with just two microphones as pioneered by the infamous "Recorderman." By using a string to align both the bass drum and snare in the very center of the stereo image, you will get a very solid center channel and reasonably balanced sound from the kit. You can also compliment this setup with close mikes for a more traditional sound.

Improvijazzation Nation #104
blog from Rotcod Zzaj

I'm happy to announce that we've got an interview with fantastic keyboardist/synth player Ben Dowling... it was a beautiful process, totally spontaneous; only took about 2 days to "nail it", and you'll surely enjoy Ben's insights on playing, recording and creating.

The ZzajRANT page for this issue has some... words about my latest "medical adventures"; Gourd-a-might-ee, gettin' "old" suggz!

Evermore exciting MUSIC reviews (We have over 25 splendid new reviews in this issue... there will be many more reviews in upcoming issues, as I start to write up all the wonderful music I've been receiving via the nets for DDR (digital download review); you'll find a much stronger focus on "home-grown" players over the next few issues.

In Issue # 105 (& later):

More fine interviews & music reviews with today's energy "shakers & movers"

Garageband.com Closing July 15th 2010
blog from Homemade Music

The people of garageband.com also run iLike.com and MySpace Music. They've decided to focus their efforts on social media applications in the latter two and close the garageband.com website:

After ten years of helping people discover independent music, Garageband.com will be retired on July 15th, 2010.

The landscape of how music is discovered and delivered has changed drastically over the last decade. We are proud to have been a part of that change -- first with Garageband.com and then with iLike.com, and today with MySpace. As part of the effort to deliver the best user experience, we're focusing our resources on MySpace and iLike, and retiring Garageband.

Link your account to iLike: (action required)
If you want to continue to make your music available for streaming or download on iLike.com and iLike's Music application on Facebook, please go to iLike.com and login with your Garageband username and password by July 15th, 2010. This will automatically link your account to iLike so we can port your music, profile photo, and biography to iLike.com.

We also recommend creating a music profile on MySpace if you have not done so, sign up, as iLike and MySpace are working closely together to deliver the next generation of tools and services for musicians and music fans alike.

Finally, if you have recently purchased Gold Membership or Contest Entry on Garageband.com and would like a refund, please email refunds@ilike-inc.com to request a refund. Valid refund requests must be received no later than August 31st, 2010.

Sincerely,
The Garageband and iLike Team
