As most of you have noticed, CV hasn’t been very active recently. That’s mostly because this is a one man show and that one man is very busy. So that’s why I am now looking to open this up to allow more people to contribute. I will be doing this in phases. First I want just a handful of people, maybe 5 or 6 to test it out and see if it’ll work. Do you want to be one of the first? Then send me an email explaining why you think you would be a good contributor to CV.

No names mentioned, but I think this is pretty clear who this may consist of…

John Zorn: Moonchild [#7357]
Zorn’s newest project is a hardcore song cycle scored for voice, bass and drums. This powerful rock unit features three of his most illustrious, longtime cohorts who have worked together in bands such as Naked City, Fantomas, Mr. Bungle and Electric Masada and are keenly in tune with Zorn’s language and aesthetic. Musicians are always at their best in Zorn projects and Moonchild is no exception. You have never heard these players as up front, on the edge or as inspired as they are here, raging through eleven pieces of terrifying intensity. Drawing on preverbal language and the primal power of rock music, this is Torture Garden with an alchemical twist—spontaneous, complex and evocative. Eleven new Zorn compositions executed with a ritualistic passion that will take your breath away.

Songstress is one of many guests on ex-Faith No More singer’s pop album.

Even though he’s slowed down in his golden years, James Brown will always be known as the hardest working man in show business. And while Mike Patton’s not exactly gunning for the infamous nickname, he’s definitely been giving Brown a run for his money.

Patton — of Faith No More, Fantômas, Tomahawk and about 30 other deranged and wondrous projects — has to work. It’s what he does. In addition to running his Ipecac Records label, the anti-rock-star rock star’s been putting the finishing touches on the self-titled debut from Peeping Tom, his four-years-in-the-making, long-overdue multi-genre pop masterpiece.
