CS 22.07.08: I've been contacted by Jason Arber of London-based Production Company Wyld Stallyons who asked about making a video for CSongs. Of course, I said 'shure thing!' and here we are at the start of the process. Jason is blogging the making of the video and has just posted his treatment and mood board. Much like Calendar Songs, each stage of the video will be up for preview and discussion. I'll be updating you on how it all goes too. Very exciting! Sending big summery hugs to you from CGirl x.

The record release party!

Calendar Girl — Thu, 05 Jun 2008 10:14:41 GMT

CS 05.06.08: A very big thank you to everybody who came down to the Arts Theatre Club last night! It was so fantastic to see you all there! I performed several of the remixes (thank you Darkroom for the last-minute assistance), including the all-acoustic A-Line Crystal Cuckoo mix of December, old Dog's April and Loveshadow's May - both of whom were in attendance! I grabbed somebody to get a picture of the three of us but now (I have a sore head this morning) I can't remember who it was... My pals from Freeform Five came down, as well as Lakaband, Mr.MacInnes, the wonderful, gorgeous Dot Allison and the one and only Fancy Chance. It wouldn't have been nearly as fun without Bec Stupak's incredible video art and PJBH's amazing technical and emotional support - THANK YOU!!! The first video is here and there are some pix going up on f**kface here. Boing! CGx

On the future of ccMixter...

Calendar Girl — Mon, 02 Jun 2008 09:57:48 GMT

CS 02.06.08: ccMixter is controlled by the board of Creative Commons and there has long been speculation that the operation of the site might be handed over to a new controlling interest. Now that has been confirmed by the CC board putting out a Request For Proposals on the future of ccMixter. Victor Stone, who has run ccMixter since day one, says this:

...This is not just another website where a collection of walled-off musicians trying to “make it” post countess profile pages stacked end-to-end all vying for attention. We are not just another social networking site where our pages point to each other because we are “friends.” Our music points to each others’ music. We are having an open public discourse amongst each using our creative output and sharing the results... Unlike any other music site, we only accept music that re-uses material from the Commons or samples specifically aimed at that re-use. This is because we understand the power of the Commons and know that musicians do better together than alone.

You can read the rest of his very good post on the RFP and all the feedback here. Thanks Victor for letting us know what's going on! CGx
