FAC

Two days ago a historic meeting took place in Heaven (!) under Charing Cross railway station in London. A group of us Featured Artists, that’s anyone who has put a record out, gathered for the inaugural meeting of the Featured Artist Coalition (FAC). Traditionally in the music industry two groups have been shut out of any negotiations and rights/revenue carve ups … and that’s the artists and the fans. The formation of the FAC is all about changing this state of affairs … hopefully we can not only do artists justice but also the people who listen to our music. After all, in order to be a musician you have to be a music fan …… And first and foremost this is about trying to ensure that young bands and artists get a fair deal and are able to make a living in the digital era ….
I’m going to post up stuff about this because it’s an exciting time and also because there is going to be some seriously heavy PR aimed at us by the interested parties who might deem the FAC a threat …there’s a lot of fear out there in the biz….
Timing is everything and with a man like Barack Obama in the Whitehouse, it’s a moment to set up a really great and dare I say it noble organisation. That word is not often used these days, it seems a bit old-fashioned in our ironic, knowing times …. Well, too bad, I think it’s appropriate.
We are in Mexico city, our first show tonight…the last time we were here ‘my iron lung’ ep had just been released... it was 1994 …. We then head on down to Brasil, Argentina and Chile … I’ve waited years for this! ….. Un abrazo Edx

ちなみにこの投稿、約5分後に再投稿されてるんですよね。
最初に投稿されたときは最後の
Lilac Wine by Nina Simone from Diva: Nina Simoneが入っておらず、
代わりに
Don't bother they're here by Stars of the Lid from and Their Refinement of the Decline
が入ってました。

また最後の2行では最近巷で話題になっていたらしいMiley Cyrusという10代のシンガーがグラミー賞の際の出来事をラジオで発言したRadioheadに対する批判(なんでもRadioheadのファンである(あった)彼女がバックステージで面会するのを断られた事がキッカケとか....「私がこの業界にいるのは人々を幸せにする事。だけどRadioheadはそうじゃない。やってられないわ、すごいムカついたの。ウサん臭いRadioheadなんか見に行かなかったわよ。彼らをメチャクチャにしてやるわ.....」に関してさりげなく触れているとみられるとNMEが報じています。

「君がまだ俺達のことが好きで、俺が何もしなかっただけで怒らせてきた一連の人じゃなければ、無事を祈っててよね。」

Radioheadは明日よりツアー再開。http://www.radiohead.com/tourdates/

...というわけで、サイトの更新している=私は今回結局断念です。
気をつけ行ってきてね。色々楽しみに待ってます。(メール返信が間に合わなかった友人達へ..)
