Kickstarter UK: Let the fun and games begin!

[Ian Townsend]

Launched in the UK yesterday (http://www.kickstarter.com/blog/kickstarter-in-the-uk) ( 31st October 2012).

Well worth keeping an eye on music-related projects that spring up.

I mis-read it and thought it was a revival of that old TV show with motorbikes. It looks interesting, though.

It's been very successful in the States with some interesting musical projects getting start- up cash. It's also created a lot of controversy though, particularly when the people holding their hands out for Kick StArt donations look less than deserving I.e quite well off!

I think that dreadful wide-eyed Pamplemousse ( ?) girl was on it trying to raise cash to record her first solo lp, just after a Pamplemousse track was used in a car advert. Or something like that.

The $28 dollar pledge (http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/icratesmagazine/the-icrates-annual-a-magazine-about-music-on-vinyl?ref=card)looks worth it.
