Loren Carpenter is one of the artists who contributed to the successful Echoes in the Alleyway project we put together last year in aid of the Teenage Cancer Trust.
Loren is putting on a 3 Day Music Festival-benefiting American Cancer Society, in Susquehanna, PA USA this Labor day weekend, 20 bands over the 3 days. If you are in the area and would like to attend or even play at the benefit then visit the event facebook page for more details and contact info. Good luck with the benefit Loren, hope it goes well!
Recently spotted at the Port Elliot festival…
Of course Caught By The River is run by the good folks behind Heavenly Recordings. There have been some great new artists added to the label roster of late. My favourite happens to be Seattle based the head and the heart, who have just returned to the US after a sold out UK tour. If you are in North America, these guys are touring every lamppost from New York to San Diego over the coming weeks. Go see them if you can, fantastic band live.
Also really enjoying the beautiful new record from Trevor Moss and Hannah Lou. Quality First, Last & Forever! was released in June. Here is the latest video from it..
Anyhow to check out more from these artists and more (past & present!) check out Heavenly’s soundcloud.
Fancy adding your vocal to a fan cover of Pounding? If so then head over to the forum, where member Aravnik has got a project going. There are 20 lines to sing, some are taken. Check in with the forum thread to see which lines need doing!
Really looking forward to the end result!
Martin Rebelski has scored the music for the second book in the ‘Anna’ trilogy. You may recall last year Rebelski wrote the soundtrack for Anna & the Witch’s Bottle, for which the music is still available to download at itunes.
Here is the blurb on the second book:
‘Anna & The Juniper Dog’ is the second book in the ‘Anna’ trilogy and follows the acclaimed ‘Anna & the Witch’s Bottle’. Featuring Geoff Cox’s surrealist prose and Rohan Daniel Eason’s exquisite pen and ink illustrations, the book is designed by the La Boca studio and presented with an exclusive soundtrack of minimalist compositions by Martin Roman Rebelski of Doves.
Check out the music using the soundcloud tab below. For more info visit blackmaps.org

Some more news on what Jimi is currently up to. Taken from an interview posted at hitfix.com.
I’m currently collaborating with Jimmy Goodwin from Doves
Guy Garvey also mentioned on his 6 Music show last week that he & Jimi had been working together at Real World Studios. All sounds very cool! Hope to hear more on this.
If you missed out on hearing Jimi’s Bird Effect track on 6 Music the other week. A different version, which sounds like the track intro was aired on Domino Radio last week on a show presented by the good folks at Caught By The River. The show is archived online here, well worth checking out to hear more new music from Jimi! Listen to the full show, some great music on it including Dave Rofe’s brilliant Richard Burton-King Tubby –Under Dub Wood mash up.

If you have a Doves video you made yourself, feel free to let me know will put it up on the blog for all to see.
This evening Jimi filled in for Guy Garvey on 6 Music’s Finest hour. Of course the show was filled with some cracking music! Def checking out Dungen who I hadn’t heard of before to be honest.
The show’s highlight was Jimi giving his latest ‘piece’ The Bird Effect its radio debut, written for the documentary of the same name by Ceri Levy, who joined Jimi in the studio for some chat.
Listen to the full show here. If you don’t have the time or just want to hear the Bird Effect then jump to minute 1 hour 21.
Jimi is sitting in for Guy Garvey on BBC 6 Music Sunday night. Show starts at 1opm, should be worth a listen!
