25.01.2022 - . , !

25.01.2022 Remembering James "Son Ford" Thomas, born on this day in 1926. Here he is playing guitar with Cleveland Broom Man Jones, Johnny Woods, and Little Son Jefferson in Leland, Mississippi in 1968. This clip was shot by Bill Ferris and is included on our Voices of Mississippi box set.

25.01.2022 Musician Michael Rohanek explains Scott Morrison's $250m Coronavirus Arts Support Package: "A QUICK EXPLANATION OF MORRISON'S ART RESCUE PACKAGE FOR MY NON-ARTS FRIENDS SO THEY CAN UNDERSTAND WHY THE ARTS COMMUNITY IS OUTRAGED. $250,000,000 seems like a lot of money. Divide that equally into the 600,000 people that work in the sector that is about $416 per person. Not per week, but a ONCE OFF payment of $416.... The arts sector contributes $112,000,000,000 (112 billion) to our economy. It's nice that the government is willing to contribute less than than one quarter of one percent of that to 'kickstart' the industry. Thats 1/448th of the industry's annual turnover. All of that money is tied up into Grants and Loans - oh and if you make Films/TV. So nobody is getting that pathetic $416 once off payment anyway. Loans: The government will guarantee a loan from a bank to a producer of a show, concert, tour, festival. As a producer of a show why would you borrow money to put into something that was guaranteed to lose money? Social distancing doesn't allow to have enough people in a theatre to make money. Theatres need about 80% sold to make a profit. It's a guaranteed loss. Grants: You have to compete for these, which means only a few large production companies will get this. They can then use the money to put on an event/concert etc when social distancing returns. In like 6 months or so. Even then the shows will lose money, which further deflates the viability of running such a thing. $75,000 is what the grants start at. You could run something small once, maybe - and pay some people for a few weeks at most. Then what? So - where does it leave all of the musicians, dancers, actors, choreographers, lighting techs, sound engineers, writers, composers, videographers, painters, drawing artists, directors, etc etc etc - nearly all of those people do NOT qualify for Job Keeper, and will not see a cent of this grant / loan money. Many of these people do not work through an ABN. They have short term contracts with production companies who are now not paying them. If any of these people are getting JobKeeper, which many aren't - it will run out soon and won't be eligible for further payments. Guy Sebastian is a judge on a talent show. He will keep getting paid. He could be a beneficiary of this if he decides to run a loss making tour. He could borrow from the bank to run a tour that nobody can go to leaving him with a huge debt to one of the banks. I'm so sorry people but this government does not understand the arts. If you think $750/week is hard to live off, try living off $416 for the rest of the year, because there is no other money. ESSENTIALLY, IT'S TOO LATE, IT'S NOT ENOUGH AND IT'S NOT AIMED AT ANYBODY WHO ACTUALLY WORKS IN THE SECTOR."

08.01.2022 Does Art Matter? The Arts, culture & entertainment sectors has been the hardest hit from this pandemic, and yet not a word was uttered in the Treasurer’s Budget... speech. Not one word. Nothing. Thousands of Australian artists have again been left on the scrap heap. What is wrong with this Government? Does the Prime Minister listen to music, have art on his walls, read books? Do his kids ever go to dance class?

07.01.2022 Everything will be made in Asia/China .... have to ask yourself with all the automation in line production why can’t western countries manufacture? Not buying the labour argument as freight is an abvious overhead. Taxes possibly. And by that I mean offsets for large corporations. Just sad really. I must look into the manufacturing tax advantages or manufacturing OS. I feel that may unlock a few reasons.

05.01.2022 Any chance modern music will ever bring back those fab harmonies, inventive melodies & groovy songwriting of the 60s? We - thats 25-year old twins Mona and ...Lisa from the MonaLisa Twins - set out to bring back the kind of song-writing that took off back in the 60s. Just like our musical heroes of that era, we love to experiment with ideas, words, styles, instruments, recording techniques. Unlike todays majority of computer-generated cookie-cutter pop music we emphasize on unaltered voices, interesting melodies, tight twin harmonies and inventive arrangements to create new handmade music for modern ears and modern times. https://monalisa-twins.com/orange-bam3-album-2for1-fb/ While we cover a lot of Beatles, Simon & Garfunkel, Beach Boys, Stones and the likes on YouTube ... we write new, modern 60s / folk / rocknroll inspired music to keep this music alive. As songwriters, we are known for Close Twin Harmonies Twangy Signature Guitar Sounds Playing Real Instruments Inventive Arrangements Quirky, melodic song-writing Branching out into psychedelic, but also earthy, bluesy, even jazzy tones our album ORANGE is a light-hearted approach to topics we all deal with: Love, community, doubt, the past and future, and the generally unsettling direction society seems to be taking. Heres what our fans say about ORANGE: https://monalisa-twins.com/orange-bam3-album-2for1-fb/ So if you, too, love real handmade music free from autotune, repetitive lyrics and digitally sampled instruments it sounds like weve got the right music for you!
