I Need That Record!The Death (or Possible Survival) of the Independent Record Store...
Straight from the US for its Aus premiere at GP, Brendan Toller’s guerilla doco’ laments the lost & beloved indie record retailer; more than 3000 disappeared in that country within the space of 5 years. Peopled with a cast of righteous brothers & sisters - Noam Chomsky, Thurston Moore (SY), Ian Mackaye (Fugazi/Minor Threat), Mike Watt (Minutemen/reformed Stooges), Lenny Kaye (Patti Smith Group), Legs McNeill (punk) etc etc – knocking their lobes together on whyfor this storefront species became so endangered...

The Vessel ProjectExpanded Cinema performance insania by Rod Cooper & crew
“Broken music marooned with ghost-ship transmissions...”
Most ambitious project yet from this experimental musician & instrument builder (Cooper) & his crew of all-around ratbags & ace characters. The skipper’s new caper is a landlocked metal ‘boat’ with home-made instruments built into the decking panels: springs, strings, percussion & electronics... pirate shortwave broadcast from the rigging, and films projected into the sails. Ahoy, idiophones!
Rod Cooper – skipper/maniac, Dale Chapman - electronics, John Jacobs - radio navigation, Riky Metisse Merlow – automated sound sculpture, Anthony Magen – organised noise, Michael Prior – disturbances, Hugh McSpeddon & Richard Oremek – signals/projection, Gab Carazo – general hand

The Drum Buddy Show By way of celebration the great man & his gal’s appearance for GP09... “Rock, noise & electronic experiments finally took a trip to dance class”: a pre-Katrina infomercial for Quintron instrument of choice & patented invention, The Drum Buddy! This 5 oscillator, light-activated, mechanically-rotating drum machine is the direct link between the human hand and sheer electronic voltage! Taped live (in front of a studio audience) at the Spellcaster Lodge in New Orleans’ 9th Ward, this classic late night infomercial transports you from the classroom of a local high school to the stage of a late-night rave. Starring: Quintron, Miss Pussycat and her puppets, MC Trachiotomy, the Drum Buddy Dancers, and legendary R&B recording artist Ernie K-Doe. Hosted by Bob Global and Rebecca Simms for Midwest International Industries; directed by Rick Delaup.
