>  The Big Ideas          

All music should be shareware.  Just as with software, you want to preview, evaluate, and pass along good music to others--in the process of buying it.

Find a way of getting music from the musician to their audience that's inexpensive and supports musicians. Otherwise, musical diversity will continue to greatly suffer under the current system where only mega-hits make money.

Musicians need to be in control and enjoy the process of having their music released.  The systematic destruction of musician's lives is unacceptable: musicians are very close to staging a revolution (and some already have).

Creativity needs to be encouraged: today's copyright system of "all rights reserved" is too strict.  We support the Creative Commons "some rights reserved" system, which allows derivative works, sampling and no-cost non-commercial use. -Magnatune

street musical

omg - from earfarm

"For three weeks this fall, midtown Manhattan will be the stage for Musical, a series of spontaneous actions orchestrated by artist and filmmaker Dara Friedman. From dawn to dusk, and occasionally even in the middle of the night, office workers, mothers, schoolchildren, taxi drivers, doormen, tourists, divas, and grandparents will break into song, creating unexpected musical events and serendipitous urban moments for all who encounter them. Throughout the course of the project, nearly one hundred individual actions will take place throughout the day and night, weekdays only, in the blocks between Grand Central Station and Central Park South, and between Broadway and Park Avenue.

Musical will take place from September 17 to October 5 throughout midtown Manhattan, in locations between Grand Central Station and Central Park South, and Broadway and Park Avenue. Performances are unannounced and will take place throughout the day and night. For up to date information please check publicartfund.org. "

Utterly obscure 45rpm single featuring jazz organist Larry Young - released on a local New Jersey label - undated, but presumably from his early 70's 'Lawrence of Newark' phase - once dubbed 'The Coltrane of the Organ' - from Waxadermy
