After goofing around the yootoobs for a while I ran into this interesting band. It looks to me like there’s a new generation of ‘math rockers’ and I like where they’re going.
You can listen to their album (EP?) right here
“The Very Prettiest Pain”
I’ve been a fan of Des Ark for a long while and I’m happy to see Aimée back in action. I think it’s inherently impossible for her to stop writing and playing music; the fact that she shares it with the world is our gain. :)

A pleasant surprise from the El Ten Eleven concert I attended last night was the opening band The Globes. I ended up buying their CD [Future Self] and I was not disappointed.
“Ghost” Live @ Red Eyed Fly (SXSW 2011) (by The Globes)
I just got a whiff of this band and I like what I hear; very uplifting. I think I need to go learn more about this band.

Live @ Will’s Pub [April 3, 2010]
I think this band is one of the best that Florida has to offer, oh and BTW, they have a kickstarter project that ends on Sept 20 and they’re about 2/3rds there.
The video on that page is reason alone to check it out. You owe it to yourself…and the world!
Have you ever seen that Monty Python skit where two mafia guys try to extort some protection money from an army base general?
Strangely (sadly?), this story (and a few others that I’ve heard of) makes me think of that skit. You open a nice little coffee shop and things are good. Shortly after, an ASCAP rep comes to your door ramming this ‘copyright infringement insurance’ contract down your throat.
It seems that even though the owners tried to reason with them arguing that they were local bands, they all played original music, and had no cover charge, there is only this ‘one size fits all’ kind of contract.
Check this part out:
The first letter from ASCAP, which Hopper received Nov. 13, included a general license agreement for Hopper to sign verifying that he was playing ASCAP-licensed music and agreeing to pay the fees to continue to play the music.
To sign that contract would be pretty damning. It basically implies that you admit you have been playing copyrighted music! I better get a law degree before I open up a coffee shop because, frankly, this is pretty ridiculous.
Would you sign this contract?
