The Hollywood Hills estate containing the late jazz legend George Duke's Le Gonks West recording studio has sold for $2.35 million.
Looking like something straight out of the 1970s, the studio has a control room, a live room with sound isolation booths, office space, a bathroom and its own entrance. But it’s not all business. There’s also a lounge and a wine cellar. Duke bought the property in 1978 for $355,000.
Seems liked a missed opportunity - This would have been a great site for the eMusers' world headquarters
Oh, and well done @cafreema. Here's my volunteer gig: Open Books Chicago - Endeavoring to get kids reading/writing in any way possible. Book lovers should definitely stop by the store when passing through town!
Hey, that's really cool, Craig! Based on your MiG and eMusers work, it's obvious you've got a passion for that music scene... and that's the kind of thing that's contagious. They made a great choice. Good luck!

ABOUT THE COLORADO
THE COLORADO is a music-based documentary
that explores the Colorado River Basin from social and ecological perspectives
across history. The project is conceived as equal parts documentary film, live
performance, and an educational tool with a full-length textbook for classrooms.
With the intention of being the first in a series of multi-media projects about
rivers, the mission of THE COLORADO is to create a crossroads between art,
ecology, and regional history, while sensitizing audiences to pressing issues of
our times.
The ninety-minute live performance is an immersive and
sensorial experience in which music and images play a central role. Narrated by
the great Shakespearean actor Mark Rylance, the project draws on the combined
talents of award-winning composers Paola Prestini, John Luther Adams, William
Brittelle, Glenn Kotche, and Shara Worden with performances by the
GRAMMY-winning vocal group Roomful of Teeth, cellist Jeffrey Zeigler, and
percussionist Glenn Kotche. The script is written by conservationist and
critically acclaimed author William deBuys and the team of filmmakers includes
Sylvestre Campe, David Sarno, and Murat Eyuboglu.
Brian
Eno has shared ‘The Ship’, the title track, album opener and thematic
core of his forthcoming album album. Running at 21-minutes and built around
Eno’s cyclically sung verses, the song builds in ominous drama, snatches of
distant voice and creeping electronics. Listen here.

One of the intersting things from Jonah's announcement is that his link at Bandcamp is Joe Edward Keyes, formerly, of course, at emusic. One of the better people there in the day.
Just finished a nifty interview with Rob Mazurek for the first column. I'm really excited to get the spotlight on his music for the Bandcamp crowd. One cat, clearly jealous I wasn't paying her any attention, proceeding to walk around the room and knock things over and jump up on shelves she wasn't supposed to be on, just to teach me a lesson about paying more attention to the laptop than her. The moment the interview ended, she decided it was time for a nap. None of that information will make it into the column... consider it bonus behind-the-scenes footage made available by your premier eMusers membership account.
That Jeff Parker album is really good. I haven't been able to listen to the whole thing yet, but I was able to sneak in a couple tracks before moving onto the next thing on my list, and damn they were good.
A newsroom query. Who is the "World famous singer" named in the USA today in a case with a hairdresser? This singer has a gagging order in the UK. I probably wouldn't have been concerned if I had not read about the court order!
I'm mildly interested in how that whole gag order thing works in the UK. I began looking into it, saw that Kate Winslet had sought one previously, saw a picture of Kate Winslet, and then was reminded how I still have a little bit of a crush on Kate Winslet, and now I'm no longer interested in the UK legal process.
Also, one of my keyword searches for hairdresser singer gag order returned a result of the Wikipedia page for Homer Scissorhands...

It certainly looks like a wonderful opportunity
