I guess you\'re not exactly overjoyed when you see stuff like this on eBay then.

Talk about blatant violations.  >:(

I\'m interested too! And say...don\'t you know someone who publishes art books? *whistles innocently*

Right on, gkg!

I have been visiting the Perceval Press homepage more often lately, and I admire many things about Viggo Mortensen\'s stance.

> Up to the election, he simply said "Vote", even if his own preferences were made clear in various media.

> He has consistently resisted those who think he shouldn\'t have or be entitled to express opinions BECAUSE he is a famous actor. (As an articulate and intelligent human being, why on earth not?)

> It\'s not all about him. It\'s about the world we all live in. It\'s about treating the world and each other better.

> The page is more serious than it was, but it\'s not all dead serious. There\'s reason to laugh as well as cry. And ridicule is often more potent than protest.

Bravo, Viggo!

It finally arrived. No complaints, Travis, you mailed it just fine, I blame it all on Canada Post.  ::)

I\'ve heard most of the material before, but I\'m crazy about this new mix. Way to go, guys!  ;D (and thanks a lot for getting this out for everyone who missed the originals)
246
It all looks & sounds good to me, Travis.  ;D
247
Sounds like a very interesting exhibit all around. I sure hope they post some of the different artists\' work on their web-site. Just to get an idea of the range of pieces on offer.

Hi Vince,

Thanks for coming on board and explaining some of the background to your film music experiences. It sounds like a tough biz.

Good luck landing the Transformers film. I hope you\'ll have some good news for us soon!

Jon, I don\'t know Vince personally, but I think if you listen to "Falling Off a Clef" (available here at TDRS - it just came in my mail today -- YAY!) you\'ll hear some more recent movie score and similar material. "Sci-Fighter" hasn\'t had general release unfortunately, well, at least for the music...

Vince, this is great stuff. I am enjoying everything of yours I\'ve managed to get my hands on so far. "Castle of the Gods" is my current favourite piece of yours. Will look forward to more.  8)

Thanks for the advance track, Travis. It hit the spot!

& Happy Thanksgiving to all my USAmerican cousins  ;D

Thanks for linking this article, Travis. It\'s interesting to find out more about Vince & what he\'s up to.

I enjoy both albums I\'ve got from you very much - that\'d be the Piano Solos and In-VINCE-ible. Sounds to me like I should pick up Falling off a Clef, too. Maybe Santa will put a few bucks in my stocking this year!

...psst, Santa, can you do something about the Canadian dollar, too?
252
My best to all here!

We sacrificed a large but rather stupid feathered bird and some innocent chocolate products and washed it all down with liberal amounts of the grape. I forget what it was all about, but remember some singing... ::)

Kaerlighed is on "Don\'t Tell Me What To Do" which used to be available on-line but is now OOP.

While browsing around the web today, I came across the following (which is not even up at Perceval Press yet, I checked!):

THIS THAT and THE OTHER

In response to countless requests to re-issue earlier Buckethead/Viggo material, much of which is no longer available, Perceval Press offers this nearly 44-minute compilation of re-mastered selections from five different CDs, along with three new unreleased tracks. Included are selections from One Less Thing To Worry About (1997), The Other Parade (1998 ), One Man\'s Meat (1999), Pandemoniumfromamerica (2003), and Please Tomorrow (2004). The 3 new tracks are called This, That, and The Other. This CD is dedicated to any and all trees, living or dead, inhabited or not. Available December 15. $13.

Travis, are you going to have some? Please?  :-*
255
Got to say I\'d love to get my mitts on a copy too... :P

But the man will do as he wishes, not necessarily as we would have him do (*heaves big gusty sigh*)  ::)
