Recommended Posts

Blimey, seems like only a few weeks since I was here...

Anyway, the 'sixties-ified of you may be interested in the following:

MOOCH 1967½ : the new album : 14 February 2008

I'm delighted to announce the release of a new album 1967½ on the AmbientLive record label. This album is available as a standard CD at £8.00, or as a CD/DVD set at £13.00.

The album contains eleven songs, nine written by Steve Palmer, with a couple written by Devonian singer/songwriter Paul Rowley, a long-time friend of Steve’s. The feel is 1967 and all things Summer Of Love.

If you are considering purchasing the special edition of the album, please pre-order (or order after 14 Feb) from ambientlive.com as soon as you can - the special edition of Dr Silbury’s Liquid Brainstem Band sold out in three weeks. The special edition of 1967½ contains the following:

DVD with videos for some of the songs; a bonus track not on the standard album; a filmed interview with Paul Rowley; various slideshows etc. Extra artwork not available with the standard edition is also included - pages 3 and 4 of ‘Internatural Times’ (only pages 1 and 2 available with the standard CD).

Four song samples are now available on MySpace:

Any extra information you may need can be obtained from me or from John Sherwood at AmbientLive.

Turn on, tune in, drop out!

Thanks guys,

STEVE...

    • Wait, Burning Man is going online-only? What does that even look like?
      You could have been forgiven for missing the announcement that actual physical Burning Man has been canceled for this year, if not next. Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
