Jeremy Gluck Mental Anguish The Tapegerm Collective.The Point Is It's Only A Dream You See

Mental Anguish's Chris Phinney: "A bit of progressive electronica with a middle eastern feel. First track I have recorded in 6 months took a bit of a break I guess. Not that I do not have ideas just other things more pressing lately. Use your ear goggles as its very ear goggle friendly. This track is not only a TG track but a remix of Jeremy Gluck's Olivier, The Point Is & The Nature Of My Dream. I used certain samples from each one. 6 months ago I planned on remixing all 3 tracks as I had done all the other ones that Jeremy Gluck had offered up. Then about 3 months ago while at work I decided to do a combo of the 3, I had heard all the material so I pretty much knew what I wanted to do with it as well as the Buzzy & Anti - G loops. Just had to find the time to compose the thing & add my stuffing. Credits: Buzzsaw & The Shavings Private FTP TG loops, Anti - Gravity Workshop Private FTP Loops, other stuffing Mental Anguish. Loops from 3 remix packs by Jeremy Gluck."

"Freedom of Creativity"

“By the term "creativity" I refer to a type of movement or change which is manifest only in living things, but is characteristic of them. It is productive of new form and order, of increasing variety or differentiation of form together with increasing elaboration and combination of forms, of increasing harmony, order and efficiency. It is this characteristic feature that marks the growth and behaviour of living things as to some degree spontaneous, proceeding apparently from an internal dynamic and not merely from the external processes of the environment. And it is because of this characteristic spontaneity and creativity of living things that we are ready to recognize in their growth and behavior some degree of freedom from the otherwise omnipotent environment.” – “Freedom and Creativity”, A. Campbell Garnett, Presidential address delivered before the Fifty-Ninth Annual Meeting of the Western Division of the American Philosophical Association at Saint Louis University, May 4-6, 1961.

Save Jingles AKA The Palace

Some of us knew it has Jingles - one of Swansea's gay clubs, some knew it has The Palace. Who ever goes in there comes out with fond memories. We al need to get behind this campaign to save The Palace Theatre. I'm amazed how a listed building got so bad.  watch this space for details of how you can help.

Would you like £250,000 of free cash to run a local music festival?

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-north-west-wales-10872370

Just find this difficult to believe - when other good local festivals struggle to find funding. Yet they received "nearly £250,000 of assembly government money" Is this fair? I personally know the organisers of many local festivals who would have given blood for that amount of funding for a local music festival. What I'd love to know is. 1. how they got that amount of cash from the WAG? 2. Why they didnt market/promote it better? If anyone knows anything more or anybody involved - please please let us know. As a person who applies for funding on a regular basis I am aghast. I promise you its nor sour grapes. I'm just really curious about the first question more than anything.
