Hope you’re enjoying/will enjoy/enjoyed your day at Tropical Heatwave.
In a recent column Brian Eno notes that while the music industry may be collapsing, “the live music scene is exploding.”
“Similarly, outdoor festivals have mushroomed. There are more than ever, and they’ve become temporary communities—somewhere between circuses and communes and summer schools, offering political debate, craft workshops, tai-chi lessons, comedy, visual arts, theatre, bookshops and, most importantly, the chance for people to meet and match and discuss. The music is almost an excuse for the consolidation of a new society. That, after all, is the traditional job of pop music, and it’s good to see it back.”
Hey, maybe it’s time to blow this sucker up. Instead of an annual Heatwave, how about a dozen spread out around the Bay area around the year?
