I found the rare "Live at the Lodge" cassette on soulseek..highly entertaining! Almost more so than "The Harvest". I making it a mission to track down all the live cassettes. Jeff Central seems to have most of them, so he needs to share. By the by..StrictureS are contemplating a hommage to "Rhythm Cage" for a live situation. Shout out included ;)
Just stopping by to say hi and give you some news. The new album 'Welcome To Murraysville' from Phil Murray and the Boys From Bury is now available worldwide from CD Baby and directly from the merchandise page of the official website. You can also get the album from Apple iTunes, MSN Music, Rhapsody, Napster, Amazon and many more.
Before there was an Internet or CDs or DVDs or even home computers, there was a revolution in the music industry against the standardization and monolithic grip of the major record labels in the 1980s by independent musicians and labels through the development of self-publishing.
This is that story, as told by the people who made it happen.
The revolution was fueled by technological developments in recording, reproduction and publishing. Artists took music publishing into their own hands. This phenomenon was unique to the 1980s.
Grindstone Redux will include interviews with recording artists & independent label owners. It will also include rare vintage music videos from the 1980s, biographies and discographies.
Why "Grindstone Redux"? The title refers to the idea that inspired the movie: a "return to" or another look at the artists involved in the "Grindstone" series of compilations, released between 1987 and 1990. So I began thinking:
How & Why did we create the network of the 1980s?
Where are these people now? And what are they doing?
