If things have been ‘quiet’

If things have been ‘quiet’ around here, please excuse me. Prolific’s been knee deep in web work over at www.mucoink.com. Muc is a giant flying piggy bank trying to raise money for the people of Kosovo who are facing one of the harshest winters on the European continent. Prolific took over webmastership of this charity site a week ago because the organisation wasn’t happy with the web shop running the site up till now. The site was re-designed in less than 40 hours. In my spare time. It went live about an hour ago. Feel free to beta test!

If you live in New York, you lucky thing, you have to go see Hal Willner’s Harry Smith Project on November 11th and 12th in St Anne’s Church, Brooklyn. I was at the London version of this shindig and it was astonishing. Read all about it. Why? Because you know you want to see: Nick Cave, Van Dyke Parks, Gavin Friday, Sonic Youth, Wilco, Lou Reed, Mary Margaret O’Hara, Bob Neuwirth, Kate and Anna McGarrigle, Geoff Muldaur, David Johansen and the Harry Smiths, NRBQ, Pete Stampfel, DJ Spooky, Ed Sanders and Tuli Kupferberg from the Fugs, Elliott Sharp, Gary Lucas, Eric Mingus, Adam Dorn, Roswell Rudd, Robin Holcomb, Syd Straw and other special unannounced guests…
