What with Tony Blair being recalled to the Chilcott enquiry today to address so-called "gaps" in his evidence, Lord Goldsmith - the former attorney general who advised on the legaity of war (and an old friend of Blair's) - distancing himself from the whole awful debacle, and hundreds of people again dying this week in dreadful Iraq explosions, I thought it would be a good time to relink Margo Guryan's16 Words video and song which we released back in 2007. Is this the legacy you promised us Tony?
Happy New Year to you all. May 2011 bring you all good luck and success in all that you do.
We are pleased to announce that Nigel of Bermondsey (photo below) will be hosting a residency (with numerous support acts) at the Nun's Head, Nunhead, London on the last Friday of each month from January through May (starting Friday 28th January 2011). Please come down and offer Nigel your support.

"So, with its varied music
agenda and artist-friendly policy, Pure Mint Recordings looks
set to smash it in the new year" (Notion Magazine
- Jan05)
"...a new label that's having
a go at re-writing the rulebook" (DJ)
"....it's a label that aims
to develop new talent" (Blues & Soul)
"Mint Source Recordings; the
eclectic new label with a revolutionary approach to artist
deals…." (MUSIC WEEK)
"…the members of the
very new independent London label Mint Source were discussing
freely in the VIP room of the Martinez, their first and perfect
compilation: A Hint of Mint" (LES INROCKS)
Congratulations to Titus and the Carbon Fools for their gig/festival
recently in Budapest and for the fist airing of the MOSQUITO
video on Hungarian national television. Congratulations also
to Tilos Radio Budapest (the radio station the Carbon Fools’
track "TILOS.S.O.S" on the Hint of Mint vinyl is all
about…..), which now has an FM licence. Excellent news!
The Carbon Fools "Mosquito" video (by the way) is
a work of genius…. and presciently current!, but then
I have come to expect no less from David.
