I have decided to place the cv.org domain up for sale.   It was a difficult decision after owning the domain for 13 years, but in actuality, a high-value 2-letter domain is being wasted on this site.   This does NOT mean I am shutting down Caca Volante .   It only means that I will be moving the site to a different domain when the domain sells. 

Recently, a lot of CV related pages have popped up on Facebook.   Become a fan of your favorite bands:

Sorry I never posted this over here on CV until now…

I went to the Moonchild show at the Moore Theatre in downtown Seattle on Sunday, November 4th.  I’ve got a review on my blog and some video snippets (from my digital camera) on YouTube.

In-demand weird sound vocalizer Mike Patton and subdued weird sound synthesizer Christian Fennesz will kick off another European tour together tomorrow evening, February 27.

They have four dates together before splitting up for a few solo gigs. Patton’s headlining shows are all with Italy’s Zu, and Fennesz’s are mostly festival dates. Patton fans in Brussels should note that a scheduled gig at VK for March 5 has been cancelled. But the question remains: When are these two gonna show North America some love?

Patton has also been collaborating with Dan the Automator under the name Crudo. The pair will perform at the 2008 Sasquatch! festival, running May 24-26.

Patton & Fennesz:

02-27 Oslo, Norway - Rockefeller
02-28 Sofia, Bulgaria - Universiada Hall
02-29 Warsaw, Poland - Proxima
03-01 Zaandam, Netherlands - De Kade

Patton:

03-02 Geneva, Switzerland - Usine *
03-03 Rome, Italy - Circolo Degli Artisti *
03-04 Turin, Italy - Ossigeno *

03-06 Utrecht, Netherlands - Tivoli *
03-07 Verona, Italy - Interzona *

Mike Patton is currently laying down vocals for a track to appear on Bär McKinnon’s newest project. The Melbourne based band called Umläut are currently working on a album touted for release later this year. The word on the street is that the track is mega catchy, combining Mike’s smooth vocals with Bär’s Looney Tunes inspired bent. Bär has been laying low the last couple of years, working on a whole bunch of tunes which are now ready to be heard. Umläut are starting to gig around Melbourne building to the release of the cd, for the second half of 2008.

As you all know Faith No More played the Club Paradiso in Amsterdam (Netherlands) a couple of times, and still their music echoes in there… Here is a clip with Fake No More from January 21st 2008 performing Easy, Ashes to ashes, Epic and We care alot. More information about Fake No More is found at www.fakenomore.com.

There is also a nice remix of Jizzlobber by a french DJ called Randomatik Blast in wich the same guys (Terry Bogus) adds vocals and guitars… find it at www.terrybogus.com.

 Rant time.

 Well I don’t know about you guys (and galls), I am getting sick of the RHINO franchise, 27 of the 44 tracks are from “Real Thing, Brixton and Dust with no new material on any of the 3!!! yes that’s 3 Cd’s.

 With all that space you would have thought that there was room for the studio of WORM and maybe 3 or 4 demo’s

I think we should boycott the release and not buy it! then Rhino might realise that some new material might be a good thing to reap the rewards from the Faith No More licence.

A bit hypocritical I know as I have already purchased the CD as you can see from my page, damn collectors bug. But you know what I am getting at.
