Marty has created an amazing new project: the In Deep Music Archive.  Drawing on his massive music collection, it is many things as Marty himself says.

We are many things. An archive, a label, a studio, an information resource, project co-ordinators, a film music research library, a sampling library, producers and engineers, a collective of musicians and songwriters, a small management company and if we can be, a musicians' advice bureau.

I urge to go visit their myspace page with the link above and read about Marty's vision for this wonderful resource.  He also writes there regularly, so subscribe and keep yourself in the loop.

In January 2008 Steve performed at concerts which celebrated the music of Kev Carmody, whose "Images and Illusions" album Steve produced, and David McComb and The Triffids, who Steve admired (see his blog).  Kate has kindly collected all the articles together into one and here they are.  If you'd like to know more about The Triffids or Kev Carmody, well, those are the links :)

Oh, I saw two pictures on flickr too. 

This is an interesting article, where the journalist speaks to the band before the first album was released. They are listening to the album together with record company staff.  Notice phrases like "shifting units of this new product" and Steve wondering why a band that has only been together 2 months has an American manager (who jokes that Steve is already trying to "sound enigmatic"), and that Marty wants to play Madison Square Garden :)
