Everything has to click just right for me to get this catalog written, printed, mailed, delivered, and for you to get your checks in the mail and back to Corvallis before I leave town. It’s gonna create a very insane mailorder tsunami—it should be fun! I’ll do my part and get this to you by the 20th at the very latest.

Okay, new release... First one out the gate is MP-515 THE PROMS Helpless Romatic. This one released on May 6, 1999 and the initial reac- tion to the album has been very, very positive. That sort of response from pop-punk fans is kinda a “no duh” to me, I knew this album kicked ass from the first time I heard the tape. It is gratifying to hear nice words none- theless. It’s quite a tremendous album when you get right down to it: awe- some songwriting, huge RAMONESy guitar riffs, and delightful deep har- monies akin to a very fine barbershop quartet.

  • Amy Gore and Her Valentines Have It in Spades
    Over the years, the Detroit music scene has produced a dizzying array of incredible bands in every genre from classic R&B and soul to the MC5 and the Stooges. The current generation has internalized an incredible amount of musical goodness as they develop as artists; musical acuity seems to be part of the gene pool. But chops and taste will only get a band so far in a crowded field of mediocrity. The standouts have that intangible magnetism that can’t be faked - Amy Gore and Her Valentines have it in spades. Singer/songwriter/guitarist Amy Gore has been the heart and soul of bands like Gore Gore Girls and Gorevette, producing critically acclaimed albums and performing with icons like The Cramps and Blondie. In early 2011, she’d written a batch of new songs and booked a one-off show at Detroit’s Blow Out festival to perform them. Originally named Amy Gore and the Squires, Gore assembled Jackson Smith (T-Bone Burnett’s Speaking Clock Revue, Electric Six) on guitar, Leann Banks (the Von Bondies) on bass and Joe Leone (Grayling, Fletcher Pratt) hitting the skins. It became obvious on stage that the band’s chemistry was too potent to walk away from. "We had no expectations beyond that first show, but the chemistry on stage was instant and powerful. It was as if everyone in the room knew something special was happening. Afterwards, Jackson called me to say they wanted to continue as a real band, he and Joe were really impressed with my songs and the vibe on stage.

  • Alessandro Cortini + Suzanne Ciani
    Alessandro Cortini + Suzanne Ciani Start time: 8pm Approximate running time two hours including interval Please note all timings are approximate and subject to change Ruth Kilpatrick talks to Alessandro Cortini and Suzanne Ciani about synths, visuals and career longevity. Volume Massimo is the latest project from world renowned musician, composer and producer Alessandro Cortini. Recently released via Mute Records, his eighth solo album is a follow up to the widely acclaimed Avanti in 2017, adding to his already prolific body of work. Already gaining much praise, Alessandro explained a little of his ongoing inspiration: ‘One of the most appealing aspects of instrumental music to me is the sense of complicity with the listener. In a more typical song-oriented composition you tend to be presented with clear meaning, dictated for the most part by the lyrics. With instrumental music, the listener is offered an emotional canvas, rough and undefined, with room for personal interpretation. It’s almost like the listener is called in as part of the compositional process…’ With a wide range of collaborations and releases behind him, from previous solo work to composing for video games and playing in Nine Inch Nails amongst others, Alessandro can turn his hand to any project he chooses. For such a varied career to date, adaptability appears to be key to longevity. ‘I cherish the ability to go from one musical experience to the other. If I were to be stuck to doing my own records only, I think it would mutate to a realisation that it’s a “job” and therefore harder to keep it natural and spontaneous.’ Having recently settled in Berlin, this Barbican performance is the first of his European tour dates.

  • Nin Ghosts I Remixed
    The story of... ‘‘ What a beautiful day ! ’’ NiN Ghosts I remixed In cauda venenum by-nc-sa/3.0/us/ What a beautiful day ! - NiN Ghosts I remixed Sunday, March 2, Year two thousand and eight : What a beautiful day ! Trent Reznor, the demiurge behind Nine Inch Nails has just boldly freed himself from traditional restraints to free dissemination. Ghosts I-IV, last NIN album to date, has been released without the help of any record company and the first 9 tracks are available in free download on the band's website. NIN releases the whole album and its graphics and covers under a Creative Commons by-nc-sa licence. This means any person who adquired the album, either by purchasing or downloading is by now free to share it, sample or remix it, under the following conditions : attribute the work in the manner specified by the author, and not use it for commercial purpose. This initiative obviously runs counter to digital locking systems set up by the recording industry, and counter to its hollow fight against "piracy". By choosing the free licences, Reznor prooves that the music may be shared freely, and that "free" music is not necessarily "cheap" music, which would be of lesser quality than "commercial" music. Doing this, Reznor prooves also that free dissemination is by no way uncompatible with some kind of trade, as the Ghosts I-IV album was actually sold, in lossless digital format as well as in limited edition cds. Nine Inch Nails affords the luxury to conciliate profitability and sharing. Let's hope the idea makes many followers.
