Dear Team,

A call to action and engagement for all who share our sense of injustice at the practices of the major record labels (spit spit) and our belief that there is a better way.

 As many will know, DGM hosts THE VICAR CHRONICLES, semi-fictional stories about the inner madness of the music industry (“Sherlock Holmes meets Spinal Tap”), which have grown into a groundbreaking multimedia project covering Novels, Graphic Novels, Videobooks, Audiobooks and the first Songbook by The Vicar himself – a project that would normally need the financial and marketing clout of those self-same major labels (more spitting and cursing).

This project deserves to succeed on its own merits, not on the “unmarketing” of which we were recently accused on the DGM Live website.

QUOTABLE QUOTES ABOUT THE VICAR

“I would like to put on public record right now, once and for all: I AM NOT THE VICAR” - Brian Eno

“The Vicar saves musicians. Simple.” – Emma B

“The Vicar? Half Budhha, half backstreet ****” – Nick Cave

“Throughout my life I've frequently found myself, metaphorically speaking, sat on the Vicar's knee…”  - David Sylvian

“Since working with the Vicar I can NEVER...EVER feel the same way about Alpacas…” – Andy Partridge

“THE VICAR is a genius. He didn’t pay me to play on his record, but he paid me to say that.” - Bill Rieflin

“All we are saying, VICAR, is Give Drums a Chance” – Bill Bruford

The wondrous world of The Vicar is only a click away on iTunes and Amazon. Dear Innocents, please sample, share and part with your hard-earned pay if you deem the Vicar project worthy; and even if you don’t. Along the way, perhaps we can discover and create an alternative model for this industry.

David Singleton and Robert Fripp.

I hate sites with "in your face sound" worst if you can't even silence it.  I'm seeing it now.

BUT I found a good sentence:  What do you call a successful drummer?  a guy whose girlfriend has two jobs

"I'm only a Dog, ..."  

Actually not sure what that   http://www.thevicar.com/  site is all about.

DGM Live , where Robert Fripp's diary, King Crimson, and the eclectic pieces that put the two together is the site I 'rarely' visit, out of great interest.
Fripp being one of the Classics of Avante Garde British Prog Rock, and 'famously' helped create the Sounds for Windows Vista, as his counterpart, Brian Eno wrote the Win '95 Sounds. Good payday !!!  

So English, ...

Yikes ! , Hotmail, Live, whatever was quite interesting to flounder through as I haven't logged in for a year, and the account is ten years old, bit of a Time Capsule.

Outa here !
