So here's some new/newish stuff: Meg Myers -- For anyone who really liked Carina Round circa *The Disconnection */ *Slow Motion Addict*. Her EP's free here: http://meginthedark.com/ Jess Mills -- One of a cluster of really good pop/electronic artists coming out of the U.K. right now. "Pixelated People" is fantastic, best of the year so far: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eN-mJjyPq6s Laura Sheeran -- Haunting, fragile stuff out of Ireland: http://laurasheeran.bandcamp.com/ Mia Sparrow -- Another Irish band, just released their album; kind of a '90s alt-rock throwback in some ways, but excellent ways: http://miasparrow.bandcamp.com/ 2:54: British duo; "You're Early" is brooding and makes me shiver and is quickly becoming one of my favorite songs of the year. They're playing NYC in a few months with (equally good) Widowspeak, which is already a fantastic lineup. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 12 Apr 2012 20:08:29 -0700 From: Neile Graham Subject: Alice Ai / Kym Brown video New, fun, ironic video for Alice Ai (Kym Brown's new persona): http://www.thesnipenews.com/music/music-videos-vancouver/alice-ai-video/ and on youtube. - --Neile ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 10 Apr 2012 03:00:00 -0400 (EDT) From: Mike Matthews Subject: Today's your birthday, friends... i*i*i*i*i*i i*i*i*i*i*i *************** *****HAPPY********* **************BIRTHDAY********* *************************************************** *************************************************************************** ******************** Klaus Kluge (klaus.kluge@gmx.de) ********************* *********** Steve VanDevender (stevev@hexadecimal.uoregon.edu) ************ ******************* Art Liestman (artliestman@shaw.ca) ******************** ******************** Stephen Golden (no Email address) ******************** *************************************************************************** -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- - -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Klaus Kluge Sun April 10 1960 Unicorn Steve VanDevender Sun April 10 1966 Racer Art Liestman Fri April 10 1953 Repeat Stephen Golden Sat April 10 1971 Jokey Michael Bowman Wed April 11 1962 Aries Wolfgang Ullwer Fri April 11 1969 Widder Janet Kirsch Thu April 11 1974 Aries Kristen Scallion Fri April 12 1974 Aries Jerry Tue April 13 1971 Aries Stuart Myerburg Mon April 14 1969 Aries T-Bone Wed April 15 1992 happy cat Jeff Hanson Sat April 16 1966 Aries Michael Klouda Mon April 17 1967 Aries Noe Venable Tue April 20 1976 Aries Harry Foster Sat April 21 1956 NiceGuy Kjetil Torgrim Homme Thu April 23 1970 Taurus Jeff Burka Thu April 24 1969 GoFlyAKite Christine Waite Tue April 25 1972 Taurus Matt Adams Thu April 26 1962 Taurus Brad Hutchinson Tue April 28 1964 What sign?

I suspect the kneejerk "I'm not using kickstarter ever again" reaction isn't useful. But perhaps a re-education program for Kickstarter policy makers? I saw this making the rounds on facebook. It's an unfortunate story, and if the email from the Kickstarter staff member was reproduced accurately and in full, then the company certainly does need to to improve both its policies and its communications skills. But I'm not at all convinced that we have the full story: either Rachel Marone and her manager really gave up after one email, or there is an extended conversation with Kickstarter of which we are seeing just a tiny selected slice. It's hard to believe, for example, that there isn't some facility for suspending or moderating comments on Kickstarter, or a harassment resolution policy. If Kickstarter does not offer this sort of service, then Ms. Marone is absolutely right in her concern. But her post would have been more effective if it had proposed these sorts of options, and/or given us a better picture of the discussion with Kickstarter. As it is, frankly, I'm not sure why I should believe Ms. Marone's account. All that said: if Kickstarter does *not* have an effective mechanism to deal with this sort of situation, they need to fix that immediately. Harassment on the Internet is, tragically, a given... - -g - -- www.gregorynormanbossert.com -- - -- www.suddensound.com -- ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 10 Apr 2012 17:10:04 -0500 From: Kerry White Subject: 2:54 Link for the video for You're Early. http://www.nme.com/nme-video/254---youre-early/1538940406001 ------------------------------ End of ecto-digest V16 #399 ***************************
