Throwing Music, home to all good things Throwing Muses, Kristin Hersh and 50 Foot Wave have a new website. The choice of colour scheme is unfortunately hideous: the background colour changes depending on which part of the site you are on; the links remain the same colour. So you get things like purple links on a green background. Check out the contact page for even worse.

50 Foot Wave will also release a new EP beginning in September 2005. As Kristin writes:

“Money has so polluted the music world that my overwhelming urge right now is to divorce money from recorded music. Over the last 2 years we’ve been asking people to help us educate listeners about 50 Foot Wave and we’ve met resistance every step of the way—caused by little other than money—and to an extent I’ve never seen before.

“So we’re sending free recordings off into the world to do their work.
If people enjoy these songs and are excited by them, we ask that they share them with others. The music business is about fame and huge profits: egos and greed; but if enough people care, 50 Foot Wave will earn an honest living playing live, which is what we love to do.”
