Caca Volante News

Don Walheim emailed me to remind me to help promote the most recent item from the Ipecac Recordings news:

Dec. 27, 2005

Hey y’all! Kielty here. Time to raise some money to keep an important music venue alive and get some cool music in return for your help.

Check out this new release: THE STONE: ISSUE ONE
featuring the following players: Rob Burger, Dave Douglas, Bill Laswell, Mike Patton, Ben Perowsky & John Zorn

Weaving beautiful and evocative tapestries of sound, this unprecedented meeting of diverse musical masters is much more than the sum of its parts. All players contribute generously from their respective musical worlds, finding common ground in this striking musical suite. At times moody, at times intense and exciting, fans of Zorn, Patton, Douglas and Laswell will all be thrilled by the empathy and passion present in this astonishing collaboration—the perfect release to benefit the downtown’s new home in the East Village.

This Special edition is available online only through the Downtown Music Gallery and Tzadik. All proceeds from the sale of this CD will go directly to support The Stone. Only with your help can we keep The Stone alive!

ALSO, a Special Edition Signed by John Zorn, limited to 1000 copies [#'d 000 - 999] is available exclusively from www.DowntownMusicGallery.com

There has been quite a lull around here lately, but fear not, a lot is planned for 2006.

For one, I will finally merge CV Beta with the rest of the site for a more cohesive user experience. Some pieces will get dropped, some will get added, and some will be completely rewritten. And when the Ipecac Recordings site redesign happens (also planned for 2006), their news will be rolled into my news via web feeds. Additionally, I hope to have more non-Ipecac news so this site doesn’t just display stale, duplicated content.

I am also completely open to any and all suggestions for things you would like to see on this site, so leave a comment and I’ll see what I can do.
