Happy to report that the next Terrastock will be happening in Louisville, KY in Summer of '08. Phil and the gang are organizing a series of fundraising events, or Tea Parties, to help set off organizing costs. There's also a limited series of various artist CD-Rs that look pretty interesting:

The line-up of those is as follows:

CABINET OF NATURAL CURIOSITIES
KITCHEN CYNICS
MONSTER BASTARD PROJECT
ROB SHARPLES
THE LEFT OUTSIDES
PHOENIX CUBE
HOWLIN' MAGIC
PLASTIC CRIMEWAVE SOUND
RING
ARBOREA

If you or your band is interested or willing to donate a track to volume 2,
please get in touch off-list either with myself or Simon,
reviews@terrascope.co.uk - all funds raised go towards keeping various
Terrascopic activities happening.

Also:

The print version of the mag is finally getting back up on its feet. Current editor Pat Thomas is selling ad space. If interested, drop him a line.

Pat Thomas, who took over the printed magazine from Phil a while ago [sic!],
is ready to print the next issue, but he needs some more advertising $ to
complete the process.

The next issue is due out around August 1st and will include the following:

FEATURES/Interviews for the summer 2007 issue #36 include: Devendra Banhart
& Andy Cabic (on the cover) talking about other people's music, British folk
legends Shirley Collins, Davey Graham, Vashti Bunyan, and Michael Chapman,
Ron Asheton of the Stooges, Skygreen Leopards Robert Wyatt on his fave jazz
LPs, electronica artist Colleen, Ben from Six Organs of Admittance and more.

And hundreds of CD reviews!

PLUS a free CD containing obscure/rare/previously unreleased recordings from
Shirley Collins, Davey Graham, Barbara Manning, Steve Wynn, Steven Roback of
the Rain Parade, Birds of America, Robert Wyatt with Gary Windo, and many
others.

Please email Pat directly at: normalsf@earthlink.net and he'll send you a
list of advertising rates/prices.
