FORECASTLE FESTIVAL REVIEW – OMG What A Show! (used with permission from Alternative Revolt Magazine)

Daniel: Louisville, KY, have you found a competitor for the Kentucky Derby Festival?

Louisville, KY: Yes Daniel. In fact I can prove that the Forecastle Festival upstaged the Kentucky Derby Festival.

Daniel: For Real?

Louisville, KY: Yes and the first time I did it was in 2005. Who’s your daddy?

Ok, so this was a fake conversation but that fact is true. If you’ve never heard of the Forecastle Festival it’s a shame. According to Outside Magazine, the Forecastle Festival is “One of the top 15 Outdoor Festivals of 2009.” Even SPIN Magazine named Forecastle as “One of the Top 101 things to do in America.” It started in 2002 as a free show that cost less than five hundred dollars to put on. Volunteers in the local music community agreed to put on the event at Tyler Park in Louisville, KY and drew a crowd of hundreds. The success of the warm vibes and pleasant experience brought the attention of JK McKnight. It was McKnight who brought the local art community into the event. Quickly, environmental organizations wanted in and BAM SUCKA, July 19th, 2003 the Forecastle Festivals moniker was established: Music.Art.Activism®
The Forecastle Festival was expanded on greatly each year, eventually gaining major sponsors allowing it to be a big deal in the life of anyone who enjoys variety in entertainment. The festival got so big that Tyler Park was not large enough. Between 2005 and 2010 the Festival was relocated 3 times finally finding adequate space on 15 acres of Louisville, KY’s Waterfront Park, thanks to the help of the country’s oldest, largest, and most experienced operators of live theatre and music, Nederlander Entertainment .

Forecastle Festival is a 3 day event that boasts an eclectic mix of music, art and environmental activism. Basically, this means that you’re going to witness a variety of bands from all over the nation on 3 different stages. It also means that you will experience bizarre shows of danger, crazy carnival like performances, marching bands, etc. that are famous from other parts of the nation. Another added treat is you can listen to guest speakers from environmentalists who will tell you the positive direction of going green by providing new study information, live demonstrations, and new facts and figures. Let’s not forget either about some pretty cool art exhibits, tattoo artists, outdoor club dancing, and a crowd of thousands upon thousands pouring in from all over the U.S. and even outside the states. There is so much to do at this amazing event that you nearly would have to clone yourself and share the mental connection and imagery with your other self to experience it all. This is both its biggest draw and biggest problem.

On the plus side, an event like this is absolutely amazing with all it has to offer. The art exhibits are great, the people are friendly, the variety in various forms of entertainment including the nationally popular Cirgque Berzerk from California is awesome, and even the music scene has some variety. You can hear Bluegrass music, techno music, classic rock, folk music, alternative rock and it’s all done by flawless performers both locally and nationwide.

On the minus side you won’t be able to witness every show completely. This is a bummer because bands get missed out on, environmental awareness speakers get overlooked, and uniquely dangerous magic acts get missed by performers from all over. For my personal tastes I thought there were too many Bluegrass musicians for one festival but I understand why due to the nature of Kentucky’s music scene. Honestly, there could have been more hard rock and alternative rock that I missed simply because of everything to have to cover.

All in all, the Forecastle Festival is an absolute must if you enjoy just a fraction of what I told you about so far. Hearing new music, seeing new forms of entertainment, gaining education of the very important environmental issues, and making new friends from other states and countries is awesome! This festival allows all that and more. $150 for 3 days of this seems almost like a steal.

Now, I will tell you of my experience of the Forecastle Festival and grade it with a Second Opinion to follow from a female’s point of view via local photographer, Staci Scevers, whose photographs sprinkled throughout this article will help you get a deeper feel for this astonishing event!

SIDE SHOWS AND ENVIRONMENTAL ACTS:

There were bands and things I missed. Most of what I missed, being in a music magazine, was the environmental demonstrations. I am an enthusiastic person when it comes to going green and learning about the positive direction of the planet. I missed things like renewable energy, Dr Feel Fine’s “Cure-All” Puppet Show, the Flaming Lips documentary, a yoga workshop, local food production and Middle Eastern belly dancing which would’ve put me in a trance, I’m sure. I cannot give an honest grade overall for that since I only saw pieces but as previous boasting goes in other publications I would imagine they would have received an A.

I did get to see pieces of March Madness Marching Band, a very enthusiastic group of marchers that got into people’s faces and marched throughout Waterfront Park. I believe it was their costumes, constant smiles, and absorbing their costumed characters that scored high with the crowd. They got an A. The Outdoor Extreme Sports Park was cool to see but really, if you’ve seen one show of bike tricks, you’ve seen them all, in my opinion. I saw fascination in the small crowd around this graffiti decorated area so based on their looks I would bump mine up to a C+. Perhaps having to be so many places watered down my excitement for this so other fans would have given this grade even more points.

The Cirque Berzerk from California was an awesome treat. I score this an absolute A. You had a very entertaining, athletic group of performers doing Three Stooges type acts while bouncing around on trampolines and landing flawlessly on a high wall ledge. Then, one by one, female performers came out and did acrobatic things via a loop suspended in mid air, a silk cloth that reminded me of a spider weaving a web and then a combination. Then there was a theatrical scene of athleticism with a pair of men who displayed mild affection towards one another. All these acts were set to music so it was more like a theater production then a circus act. The finale was awesome as every performer came out doing their signature pieces while some of them blew fire from their mouths and such. Even the comical guy on stilts between acts joined in the fun. Excellent!

I also got to see some artwork that was unique. I met local tattoo artists who had some fantastic artwork on display. I also met some of the artists who worked on art displays for the Forecastle Festival. Very cool stuff.

THE MUSIC

This is where I’ll find disagreement I’m sure. I’m not a huge fan of country music. Gladly, there was none there. I’m not real fond of Bluegrass music but that’s what I would say at least 70% of the bands were; Bluegrass and Classic Rock sounding bands. Of course, it’s Kentucky so it was to be expected. I have no idea how Smashing Pumpkins fit into this festival. Their style, from what I could tell, were different than all the rest. However, as a live show with limited effects perhaps it was an easier blend. Let me reiterate that I didn’t get to see all the bands so there could have been some rockers out there I missed.

Now that I’ve said that I was pleasantly surprised by most of the bands I heard. I felt like maybe I missed out on something the last 15 years or so. Some of this Bluegrass music was pretty good. It wasn’t that oldies stuff I remember and it didn’t have that whiny feel that some of the Country music artists have. It was a different sound as if Bluegrass finally evolved. I particularly liked the 23 String Band. Those that did rock didn’t do it in Chevelle or Sevendust fashion or even Smashing Pumpkins fashion. They had a more Classic Rock sound or even a bit jazzy. Death On Two Wheels had my favorite stage performance and rock sound, like a new age George Thorogood. Company of Thieves had an awesome jazzy rock sound that made me smile. The first band on the East Stage on the first day of the festival could have easily been my favorite. They are called Kinetix and they rocked! Each of the bands I listed all get an A with the award for best East Stage performance, in my opinion, going to Death on Two Wheels with Lucero as a Runner Up.
The North Stage had the most diverse bands with some sounding like a meeting with Modest Mouse and the 60’s such as the Doloreans and IamIs who also reminded me a bit of an RPG soundtrack. Then you have local rappers with a style I would define as Disco Rap called Scanners. More Bluegrass music hit that stage with My Morning Jacket co founder’s band, The Raverra Colt, and also Arnett Hollow. You also had a style of rock in the vein of Marilyn Manson, but not. I wish this band, Straight A’s, didn’t have distorted effects on their voices all the time. My pick for winner of that stage out of those I saw perform? 23 String Band with The Raverra Colt as a runner up mostly because of the front man’s sense of humor.

The Ocean Stage was the dance stage and it was always hopping. While it was more a grass area with a booth covering the DF equipment it had some of the festivals finest hotties shakin’ their bodies. Also, most of the shirtless guys were in that same crowd. This is where all the DJ’s partied. A couple Electronica bands shared this stage such as Papadosio which got my Best Of award here. Not much else to say really. If you got a beat and lots of bass people are going to shake their change.

The Main Stage, of course, had the most popular musicians from around the country. This is where I spent most of my time. On Friday, things started off with Scott Miller and the Commonwealth. If you like bluegrass you will like this band. It’s not my cup of tea but the crowd loved it. While not super energetic on stage the emotion from the music to crowd was noticeable. I am not a huge fan of this style but live is always better than an album for first timers. Therefore, I would grade it a C while fans of that genre would probably boot it up to a B or even an A.

Drive-By Truckers was another band I thought was iffy. However, when I heard them play I was pleasantly surprised. I wasn’t disappointed in the least. They have a style similar to Scott Miller but different too. Without being annoyed I give them a B-.

Manchester Orchestra was next and boy was I diggin’ it. There sound is very cool and the lyrics were very intense. Even a guy in the crowd by me said that he came to the Festival to see them because he read the lyrics of some of the songs online and loved them. I concur. An A, Manchester Orchestra!

Headlining Friday was Widespread Panic. That crowd was huge. I don’t get into that kind of classic sounding rock much but they had some sprinkled musical pieces that really rocked. The veteran performers were in their mojo and although there wasn’t a high energy stage presence everyone was having a good time. I give them a B+.

Saturdays’ Main Stage busted out the gate with Modern English, a nod to back to the 80’s with added new stuff. Not too shabby at all. I give them a B as well as Umphrey’s McGee who followed them.
Grace Potter and the Nocturnals was next and I was mesmerized by the vocal quality and pleasant mix of soothing rock. You must check them out if you don’t know them. An A!

Cake followed next and they were fantastic. The women drooled, the music rocked and the crowd was enormous. I score an A.

Devo came next and people went stupid happy. I do not like this strange band very much and will probably get slapped for stating so. But the costumes were top notch, their style immaculate and the crowd was beyond stoked. So my grade of a C because I am not a big fan will be bumped to an A because of stage performance and the people in the crowd loving it.

Bassnectar followed which was odd to me as it was the only DJ on the Main Stage. I didn’t think he belonged but this massive crowd shaking ass was incredible. Also, the light show and song selection was pretty damn good. This was an A and I heard people say it outdid everyone else, probably because the crowd was mostly older teens and 20-30 something’s.

Smashing Pumpkins finished the night with a bang. I read and was even told by some staff there how difficult Billy Corgan can be. For a shy guy who likes to make his image bigger than it is he surprised photographers by allowing extra photos to be taken. He even gave audience members high fives and made funny jokes. According to Jeff Asfahl, one of their biggest fans from Chicago, he was impressed. Was this real? It was plain to see that Billy Corgan really wanted to re-establish his career. I liked the energy on stage. He was great. The problem was the song selection. The crowd didn’t seem to really recognize a few and it seemed everyone was pissed that Zero wasn’t played. The crowd chanted it over and over but never did they play it. I would give them an A but for song selection and lack of Zero I will drop it to a B. We were the only magazine to get a photo of the song set list though. Score!

Sunday’s lineup was the most mild and the crowd didn’t get large until the evening. Joe Purdy did ok scoring a B. Dar Williams’ folk style received a B too because by that time I wasn’t hearing much variety in that style of music. Not her fault. She did talk a lot between most songs which was cool to hear the meaning but not so cool as it detracted from the flow of music.

I’d say my heart stopped when I heard the next band, Sara Watkins of Nickel Creek… .

Daniel C. Morrison aka: The Hit Man

Ok all you arts and science enthusiasts, have I got a cool experience to share with you!
As you know, I like to promote artists of all genres. Well, in an effort to see what the city of
Louisville, KY, had in the way of artists I spent a Saturday scoping downtown and was able to visit the Louisville Science Center thanks to the freindly and intelligent Danielle Waller. I heard that they had local art there so I was on a mission to see exactly what it was. What I
actually experienced was one of the coolest places I’ve been and not just because of the immensely spectacular Titanic Exhibit.

This four-floor building held many surprises ranging from nearly 150 learning and activity stations to a four story IMAX Theatre. I’m talking about teaching laboratories, a fun way to learn about the human body with trivia game consoles, arcade style bacteria smashing and my favorite, the x-rays. Yes, people in positions doing everyday activites with a screen that shows an X-RAY of what happens while you do it, none of which made me queezy.

This largest hands-on science center in Kentucky also had an awesome variety of interactive ways to learn about industrial technology, building your own bike, skeleton weight lifting, a huge wall screen map that told you of different places around Kentucky, wildlife, a machine that showed you pictures of what you’ll look like every couple decades, a kids zone that made me wish I was 10 again, 3 or more different educational and breathtaking movies on their IMAX screen, info on chemistry, telecommunications, physics, manufacturing, oh I could go on and on. So I will.

Their exhibit, The World Around Us, combines natural and earth sciences to create a fantastic range of interactive and multimedia activities. Three awesome ecological galleries that cover the atmosphere, terrashpere and aquasphere will excite you if you’re an environment buff.

For history fans their Discovery Gallery has natural history collections that includes cool, interactive learning experiences with the mummy, polar bears and Gemini trainer.

The World We Create is a fascinating exhibit
that introduces you to a mixture of manufacturing, transportation, chemistry, architecture, physics, engineering and communication. You can actually indulge all your senses in this fun environment and also compute and design stuff. There’s even physical science exploration. True! Here you can build with blocks, conduct chemistry experiments, design a bike, delivering high-tech packages and more. No pyromania exhibits though, thankfully. This was a lot of fun!

Another amazing exhibit was The World Within Us. According to their site, it “lets you get to know the amazing body that’s yours for life. Learn more about how your body works through hands-on exhibits that will give you a new appreciation for the parts most people take for granted. How does your voice work? Just how large is a large intestine? You’ll never see your body in the same way again!” Well, they were right. In a salute to my mother, a nurse, I would soon head to this amazing exhibit where I’ll also see how healthy and unhealthy lifestyle choices affect my body, as if the reflection in the mirror wasn’t enough. And I sure wasn’t going to miss the recommended highlights, “Out of Control: Slide behind the wheel of an orange Volkswagen and experience the difference between driving sober and driving under the influence of alcohol.
Time Machine: This photo booth takes you into the future so you can see how you might look in 20, 30 or 40 years. Amazing Beginnings: In a reverent, awe-inspiring display, eight human embryos and fetuses show how you grew from two autonomous cells.”


Before I could get into more meat and potatoes of this fine facility I had to check out their intense Titanic exhibit.  If you have never seen this historic adventure you should head out to wherever it’s going next. Seeing this with my own eyes was simply awesome. Very educational, very breathtaking and it had cool, detailed touches to boot. Before entering we were told that the cases which held the artifacts were on an alarm system. I was also handed a mock boarding pass with the name of one of the passengers that actually rode on the Titanic. At the end of the exhibit I was to find the name in the list of survivors or the list of those who perished that tragic night. Sad to say, my guy and his family didn’t make it. I also have to mention that they had an actual large piece of a freshwater iceburg there as well. It was so cold. It was to let people get an idea of how cold the water was when the Titanic went down. In fact, the water was colder than that iceburg.

The exhibit walls had pictures of those on the massive boat and brief stories of others. The belongings in the cases had photos and stories of those whom they belonged to and there was even a pair of phones that had recordings of what eye witnesses who survived had described about the tragedy. Intense! There was a volunteer there as well who was stuffed full of information that the exhibit did not display. To me, it was icing on the cake. So, of course, I had to check out the four-story IMAX screening of James Cameron’s deep sea dive to explore the Titanic.

Inisde this 250 capacity theater it was difficult to find a seat but it was well worth it. The screen was in your face like a dog wanting a cookie. The way it added to the historic allure of the Titanic Exhibit was incredible. I could not imagine going there ever again without also partaking in an IMAX adventure. I even think only one kid cried. That’s impressive due to the number of families with children that were there.

This wonderful Titanic piece catered to my assistant, Stephanie in major ways. It is her favorite historical story so I let her write an article on the exhibit for you to read at the end of this article. Yes, I’m that kind.

After the movie was over I spent a lot of time in the health science section, “The World Within Us.” It was the most interactive learning experience I’ve ever witnessed (and that includes the game, Charades, and the kids game, Memory. Ha.) Huge displays in vibrant colors really grabbed my attention. Computers with Trivia about what you just saw were there as well to test your smarts factor. Devices that let you see pieces of bone construction via magnifiying glass, a machine that showed you what vision is like with several different diseases, a lot of different interactive ways to see your heart at work, and the list goes on and on. I thoroughly enjoyed watching the skeletal movements as I simulated weight lifting and enjoyed destroying bacteria via an arcade video game machine.

I witnessed the aging process of my associate, Stephanie, as she sat in front of this screen that took her picture and showed her what she would theoretically look like every 20 years until age 85. According to the machine she wouldn’t gain much weight, she would get glaucoma judging by how one of her eyes looked and that she would actually live to age 85. Theoretic flaws aside, this was unique entertainment. We also saw the KidZone where little ones could play and learn. I’ll just say that Ronald McDonald would be jealous. I also witnessed some cool nature and wildlife history of Kentucky and was in gemstone heaven in their surprisingly varied gift shop. Come on now, a gemstone vending machine? Yes! Fifty cents in, a handful of gemstones out. $2.00 later and we needed a bag for them. Those clever little vendors and that wonderful machine! Before you think I’m some dork I’ll have you know I’m a gemstone fanatic.

Finally, after so much fun, I found the only spot that had local artwork. It was hanging on the wall along the hall by the IMAX theater entrance. More than a dozen paintings decorated the wall all by the same artist, Margaret Oechsli, PHD . She uses a process called Photomicrography. As I understand it, it’s photography through a microscope. Her unique artwork includes different medicines with cool pieces such as “Dots Going For The Walk,” “Vagueness of Being” and “Almond Default” which all are priced at $1500. Amazing idea, her artwork! She crafts it very well. Sadly, that’s all they seemed to have in regards to local art. Well, it wasn’t really sad. the rest of the museum was just too cool for words.

I wish I could have stayed there longer. We spent over four hours there and didn’t even get to experience a good third of the place. Danielle Waller says that the ROBOTS exhibit starts in about two weeks, an exhibit based off the animated movie ROBOTS.  How cool is that? When I go back to write on it I will partake in the rest of the adventure that is the Louisville Science Center . Next time I will focus greatly on the exhibit. This article was to let you know about this entertaining complex. Maybe one day they’ll have a mime display. It would be more acceptable than a drunk driving display. Yikes! To see for yourself all the other things this place has to offer and its rich history visit the site at www.LouisvilleScience.org and when you visit, let them know that Daniel sent ya!

So to Danielle, Josh, Kelly and the rest of the staff, thank you for your hospitality, your energy, and passion. It was one of the coolest places I’ve been. I look forward to seeing you all again very soon!

A Walk Through The RMS Titanic Exhibit at The Louisville Science Center
Written By: Stephanie Pacey

Titanic’s story is still heard even from the dark, abysmal silence of the bottom of The Atlantic. It has been almost ninety-eight years since that fateful night that the White Star ocean liner set sail on it’s first and last journey to its watery grave. Today, the luxury ship sits over 12,500 feet below the ocean’s surface as a massive tomb for over 1,500 souls and millions of memories.

The Louisville Science Center’s exhibit on this tragic loss is beyond what you would call “informative”. Unlike most historical walks through time, not only do you learn about things you wouldn’t possibly know, you actually enjoy learning little known facts about Titanic, and are able to recall them later on. They incorporate every way of learning that is known in society into one massive place. Everyone knows the story of Titanic, even today’s middle school students know a little about the ill-fated, maiden voyage of the largest and most luxurious ocean liner ever made at the time. Whether they learned about it in school or watched the movie, they know the basics. What the exhibit in the Science Center had to offer was above and beyond.

At the beginning of the exhibit, you are told by one of the many workers donning lab coats that the artifacts actually come from excavations of the wreckage, and because of their delicate condition, they are encased in glass that will sound an alarm if it is touched. You are also told to look out for “major butt”, who ends up being a passenger from Louisville named Major Archibald Butt. So in finding the amusement of this tragically, yet humorously named man, you remember the name later on at the end of the exhibit. They give you a faux boarding pass with a name of a passenger on it, why they are travelling, who they are travelling with, and what they do for a living.

As you walk through, there are framed pictures and facts along the walls, and encased artifacts such as: American currency, bank notes, dinnerware, pots and pans, hair brushes, toothpaste containers, Gillette razor blade wrapper, a champagne bottle with liquid still in it, a marriage certificate, the list goes on and on. There is also a part in which you see a menu of what types of food was served to each class rank. There is also a fun fact stating that one ticket for first class would be around 100,000 dollars today. The most aristocratic passenger was John Jacob Astor who was a businessman in New York. Mr. Joseph Bruce Ismay was the owner of Titanic and was on the ship when it hit the iceberg. He was also the man behind how fast the ship was going and how many lifeboats were on the ship on its maiden voyage. He survived by getting on collapsable lifeboat C. Mr. Thomas Andrews was the ship’s builder, and spent his last hours telling people to get on the lifeboats and to put on a lifejacket. Sadly, he did not survive.
Near the end of the exhibit you come to an actual freshwater iceberg that you touch to feel how cold the water would have been for the 1,500+ souls that didn’t manage to get on a lifeboat because there weren’t enough to rescue everyone on board. You also get to see some AuGratin dishes found stacked neatly in the rows they were in when the ship sank. At the end, you walk to a wall that has the classes, and a list of who survived and who perished. You are to take your boarding pass and try to locate the name on it to see what happened to them that cold night on April 14th, 1912. You could also go to their IMAX Theater and see “Ghosts of the Abyss”, a short film by James Cameron, the director of Titanic starring Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio. It takes you on an exploration of Titanic’s wreckage and stars Bill Paxton who is a guest on the quest. There is also two special guests called : Jake and Elwood, two ROV “bots” on the boat that become part of the family.

I knew a great deal about Titanic when I went to see this amazing exhibit, and I can say with confidence that it was the best learning experience about the ship and its passengers I have ever witnessed. There is nowhere else I can think of that related so much in a few hours as the Louisville Science Center did. They make learning a lot more fun and easy than, say, reading a book, or an article (just kidding..) I would love to go back to see their next exhibit on Robots that starts March 20th.

Hello everyone. I am happy to announce a promotional dream come true for artists of all genres. In light of the recent news about Ear Xtacy potentially being erased from Louisville I decided to go ahead and announce something I am introducing to artists of all genres. It’s a sad truth that local artists get little exposure and I think like most others do: it’s got to change! So artists of all genres, listen up closely.

Thanks to a supporting cast by Shout! Radio Services and Daniels Doorstep I have an opportunity to give you exposure unlike any other. It’s a package that consists of a high definition video posted on YouTube for your portfolio, an interview like you see me post on this site (which will be posted on as many sites as I can including DanielDoorstep.com, this site, and Louisville Mojo), the opportunity for you to sell your merchandise to the public, and at times mention on local public broadcasting stations, and sometimes being aired live on Acoustic Alternative radio (for musicians). There is a lot more to it than that and you can find information here at AllForOnePromotions.com.

I’m also using my html coding experience to come up with a list of artists in the Louisville area. I have realized that I cannot search one spot and find all the artists that exist in this city. So anyone who is in a band, who paints, who is a comedian, etc. send me your name and what you do and a link so I can get a public directory for this city.

I hope to be able to start one of these conventions really soon but I need the cities support. I am going this alone as far as paying for the initial costs, doing the recruiting, doing the physical work and most of the advertising and it’s very difficult but my passion and desire to be a good samaritan and help others drives me forward. Hopefully, this will work. I have seen no one go to this extent. I can’t thank Shout Radio enough for their support. Here’s to everyone who has an art and skill to make the world a better place!

Sincerely,
Daniel C. Morrison

Hello everyone. I hope the holiday season did you well and your new year started off right. If it didn’t, I hope you were able to sleep through it, ha! I wanted to take a moment to let everyone know that the reason the content has not been added regularly has nothing to do with the holidays. I have sprained and fractured my left ankle, caught 2 nasty computer viruses where I had to wipe all computers and my external hard drive and also fought a 17 day nasty cold/flu. Please, no violins.
I’ll have you know that I will be adding content again shortly but I am also excited to announce a project I am going to start backed with support by Shout! Radio Services, AcousticAlternative.com and a trio of good samaritans. It is going to be an arts and entertainment convention focusing on artists of all genres all over the nation, starting first in Louisville, KY. Not only will this allow artists to showcase their talent it will also aid them in a successful resume with promotional opportunities next to impossible to find in one place.
Stay tuned for more information on this. I’m just awaiting the final website design. This is a real deal, not some fly by night idea. I’ll stake my entire reputation on it. In fact, it’s coming together so nicely that I am positive God has a hand in it! So happy 2010 everyone and remember, together we and 2010 can accomplish anything!

One for all,
