BIC BLOG 7/4/20
As we celebrate our independence today here in the States - it saddens me to see the country I love griped in race and political hate, with a pandemic thrown in just for good measure. I pray for healing and tolerance; not only in America but around this world we share…. but I’ll renege on my tolerance plea when it comes to pedophiles …. they should burn.
HEAR YE HEAR YE !!! …. ‘hearing’ has been a big part of this week in our BIC World! As we begin to compile remixes for our Halloween release ‘Out Of Chaos Comes …’., I heard two stellar remixes by Tim Palmer, as well as 2 almost-ready remixes by MGT and Collide. I have also decided to throw my hat into the remix game, working with Kevin Kipnis (who did two cool remixes on beauty re-envisioned) at his studio on a different take on ‘Almost Pure’. Lots more in the works, so I am confident that this remix record will prove to be as cool and diverse as ‘beauty re-envisioned’! There will certainly be some accompanying videos, too.
Speaking of videos, we are nearing completion of the final edit for ‘Stranger’ which features Kat Leon. This gorgeous song closes out the vinyl edition of ‘the storm before the calm’. The video will be released later this month.
Finally, and back to ‘hearing’… I was privy to hear Tim Palmer’s final mix of ‘tower of strength 2020’! This 100% for Covid-related Charities version of The Mission’s classic features members of Depeche Mode, The Cult, Ultravox, Bauhaus, Slowdive, Gene Loves Jezebel, Siouxxe And The Banshees, The Mission, Nine Inch Nails, The Smiths and more…including moi! Such a powerful and heartfelt version … so blessed to be part of this alongside these amazing artists. Dubbed ReMission International … the song with a few alternate mixes should be released before the end of the month! Details as I get ‘em….
STAY SAFE and KIND
