Jagjaguwar Interview
NPR – Jan 28, 2008
What were some other options that it gave you or that you considered?DVA: No comment. 
CB: There is a lot of fear real or hyped about the death of the music industry as we know it. It reminds me of when electronic music became popular and the media declared guitar rock over. For me music is about storytelling and people will always want and need to hear stories. Has new technology or anxiety surrounding rapid changes in the industry affected your approach or philosophy to running the label? r are there better things to worry about?DVA: I love this question. Yes music is about storytelling. Even at my most futurist I can’t imagine a world without the need for stories or stories embodied in song.
London International Mime Festival: Unleashing vivid new worlds
Telegraph.co.uk – Jan 28, 2008
Dismembered limbs and grotesquely amusing monsters hideous puppets of assorted sizes from gigantic to minute spindly scrapheap machines all looked much influenced by the best Russian marionette theatres. Eurydice was a bald crone running a laundry rpheus an incredibly decrepit amputee railway worker seemingly marooned at the most hellish end of the Siberian railway. The puppets were fine Mira Calix’s live-plus-electronic music was often striking but the stage was too present and static never dissolving in a revelation of emotional destination. The one moment that did deliver was the film imagining rpheus’s encounter of Eurydice in hell – she’s a face screaming out of a TV on ant legs that scurries round a running track in fathomless darkness which you reach by vile lift plummeting many thousands of floors downwards. That really is some vision.

Hot Chip Spank Rock Peaches and others are liberally reworking classic tracks by the Pharcyde Masta Ace Tone Loc and others for a new collection Delicious Reimagined due early this year. Raunchy electro-clash singer Peaches — who has collaborated with everyone from Pink to Iggy Pop — remixed Loc’s “Wild Thing” almost 20 years after the song originally came out adding her own new vocals along the way. Hayden Panettiere spoke about the warrant for her arrest — which she was slapped with in the fall after confronting Japanese fishermen to protest the hunting of dolphins — at a related demonstration in Washington D… The summer music-festival scene just got a bit less crowded. Less than two months after announcing their plan to host a three-day camping music festival on a 500-acre farm in Vineland New Jersey the forces behind Lollapalooza (C3 Presents) and England’s Reading Festival (Festival Republic) have announced that they’ve pulled the plug on the event. riginally scheduled for August 8-10 the Vineland Festival which never announced a lineup and had faced considerable opposition from area residents concerned about noise and traffic will now attempt to launch in 2009. rganizers cited “overall festival traffic in the Northeast”— apparently referring to the just-announced.

You can’t stop people from sharing stuff – legally or illegally. You can’t ban blank CDs because some people copy music onto them and give them to friends.

San Francisco Chronicle – Jan 28, 2008
There is both order and chaos in a Cunningham dance just as there is order and chaos in the world. And then there is the meaning we humans shape from the two because we can’t help but do so and Friday those meanings were fascinating. In 1993’s monumental “CRWDSPCR” on Friday the 12 dancers seemed more like natural forces than people cascading en masse with the majesty of an avalanche one minute linking hands to bubble across the stage like a ball of mercury the next all to John King’s live unpredictably droning electronic score. Mark Lancaster’s costumes dressed them in color-block leotards while his lighting emphasized vastness elemental forces. Meanwhile 1960’s “Crises” was more like a study in anthropomorphizing Rashaun Mitchell’s relations with four women rendered creaturelike by the grip of his hand on Holly Farmer’s arm their surprising entwinement inside his spandex belt. Robert Rauschenberg’s bright costumes dress them each in surprising shades of green and red individual colors teasing the eye with ever-moving designs across the drift of stage fog. Was that the weirdly dissonant sass of Conlon Nancarrow’s “Rhythm Studies for Player Piano” bringing out a jazziness in the movement? r was that the coincidental meeting of music and steps making me see that unexpected quality in these superb dancers who must move with mechanically exact control any step capable of being followed by any other? Andrea Weber stood out in “Crises” for her zestful attack Emma Desjardins in “CRWDSPCR” for her muscular command while it would be hard to forget Julie Cunningham in “Crises” stalking the stage stopping to slowly stare across the audience like a menacing owl… Meanwhile 1960’s “Crises” was more like a study in anthropomorphizing Rashaun Mitchell’s relations with four women rendered creaturelike by the grip of his hand on Holly Farmer’s arm their surprising entwinement inside his spandex belt.

And what of “eyeSpace” with its stunning backdrop of strange portals and vectors by Henry Samelson? At the appointed moment we had a choice: Push play on the iPod or simply take in the collage of ambient noise (much of it recorded on the Stanford campus) projected through the auditorium. Most donned headphones and so did I but as much as I enjoyed Rouse’s sometimes grooving sometimes loungey songs with their ear-catching lyrics I found them pulling me away from the dancing rather than inviting me to layer the elements. After as we surrendered our iPods 49-year-old Louisa LaFarge of Burlingame agreed while 39-year-old Greg Lindahl of Mountain View also found the “actual words and voices” distracting. Lindahl left his iPod on though as did Stanford undergrad Becca del Monte who said she “really liked the way the music was soothing and melodic – you could interpret what the dancers were doing based on it.
