+ This weekend is for recommendations. I heard the entire catalog of a band you should also. The first notes you hear will bring you memories of The Jam and other similar stuff.
+ The Hypertonics want you to know them. They have all their catalog free for you. Be kind. Tell them thank you (or buy them the record if you like it). They explain why this attitude here.
+ The Hypertonics answered some questions for this blog, so for you:
- Where are you, The Hypertonics, from (based):
We are from the East Village in New York City.
- Please, describe your musical influences (if any):
Our musical influences include the Talking Heads, Elvis Costello, The Jam. Our influences that are non-musical include Noam Chomsky, George Carlin, Vladimir Nabokov, and Simon Bolivar.
- Please, summarize your opinions regarding free access to music:
Free music stops the antagonistic relationship between the artist and
listener. It cuts out the middleman record labels that soak up most of
the money anyway. It's more humane, more spiritual and takes the
marketplace out of art. It takes art out of the hostage-style situation
of music for ransom. Bibles are free, and that is said to be the word of
God. A higher purpose is being served.
- Also, please summarize your opinion regarding P2P software:
Anything that allows people to communicate freely and without any
middlemen is a powerful thing. Dangerous to people is power and a great thing. All the toll booths that have been set up are now being taken down. The monopolies are being circumvented.
- Have you ever played in Spain?, do you plan to come over?
We have made it as far as the UK but haven't made it to Spain yet. We do plan to come over though. Just need an invitation...
+ Ok, more work for Paco Pérez Brian.
+ Las ideas sobre la industria, el arte, el dinero y otras son claras, no crees?. El arte fuera del mercado. Uhhmmmm.
+ Let's give them a try, ok?
