10. Raffa & Rainer 23.02.10, (a great 2 piece band from Miami, myspace):
1. Sweat Records Miami This is the local kick ass record store in our hometown.  But it is way more than just a place to buy stuff. If you are in Miami and you want to know about anything worth doing, you can find out about it through Lauren Reskin and Jasin Jimenez, store owners and local promoters.  The blog is always juicy and the in-store events inspiring! Best coffee and vegan cupcakes in the city too.
2. Atomisk Records is a collective of musicians who all met and played in Miami many years ago and have since spread throughout the world. They have produced a bunch of awesome bands and solo projects and continue to post great music on their site. All new interesting stuff done by really talented people. There are always a bunch of free downloads!
3. Airship Rocketship This is an insanely good band. Never mind that Rainer is the guitarist for it (I put this on the list when he wasn't looking!), never mind that not one band member currently lives in the same city or state as another band member.....the important thing is that they just released an amazing new album on Honor Roll Music and its available to download for free on their website  Hopefully someday, the band will get back together and confuse and delight crowds once again.
4. Jen Stark We are always blown away by our friend Jen Stark's artwork. Seems like everyone else is just as impressed. This Miami Girl is kicking serious butt these days. She's everywhere!
5. www.vangloria.net/pureimagination/ Pure Imagination is a radio show that we can't get enough of. The stories are intelligent, intricate and wacky, the reading makes monotone cool again and the music is thoughtful and well placed.  If you're lucky enough to be in town when the creator Matt Gajewsky does a live reading, you won't be dissappointed. Check out this short piece on him at http://www.youtube.com/user/artstreetmiami#p/u/29/s98sK9TfGPo

The 'Unsigned session' (To celebrate the 10th anniversary of MCN's Unsigned project) takes place in Casablanca, Morocco.

09. Jordan Power 15.02.10, (Engineer at 301 studios in Sydney Australia (e-mail):
1. Ernest Ellis - awesome band from Sydney, Australia. New filmclip 'Heading For The Cold' is one of my all time favourite clips already.
2. Volcano Choir - Features the guys from Collections of Colonies of Bees and Bon Iver, and pretty much sounds like a second Bon Iver album. Really Lush and spacious.
3. TapeOp Magazine - Best Audio Engineering magazine around. Practical tips, great gear reviews and interviews with the worlds leading producers and Engineers.
4. Empire Audio Labs - Brand new studio in Newcastle, Australia with an old school creative vibe. A bit of a hike for most readers I am sure, but a great studio!
5. Jim Jarmusch - Film Maker/Director from the US. He has been my favourite director for years, just starting to get back into his films recently. Particularly 'Night On Earth', 'Coffee and Cigarettes', 'Down By Law' and 'Dead Man'. He always uses a similar cast. Tom Waits, Bill Murray, Johnny Depp, Iggy Pop, Steve Buscemi and Roberto Benigni seem to be some of His favourites. great films.

Due to the record deal with the P-Vine label in Japan we've decided to make the full download of the We'll Make It Right album temporarily unavailable. We are working on a solution to get it back online in Europe, USA, Australia and the rest of the world, except for Japan. We will keep you posted.

I'm really look forward to exploring new grounds after the craziest and best 2 years in my working life so far. I might even start writing a book...
2. Putting together Perfect Dusty, a free-for-all compilation of my favourite Dusty Springfield tracks. She's the greatest female singer of all time (yes, that includes Aretha!).

3 Days later I will be leaving for the French snow (movie)...
4. ...Together with snowboard newby Crispijn, his sister and their mother. This movie and this movie will definitely be playing through the car stereo on our way to France.
5. Of course I'll keep you informed on the progress of my book and all our family's adventures through my favourite social platform (http://twitter.com/EHPO), even while crashing or drinking.

Again a new feature by In A Cabin With; house parties. Our house parties will take place 4 times a year in our own houses in either Utrecht (that's Maarten) or Amsterdam (that's Jesse) (The Netherlands) and will be actual 'house' parties; cosy, personal, music, snacks and drinks!

5. Them Crooked Vultures. My first concert ever was supposed to be Nirvana, but than K.C. shot himself. A real bummer, cause i didn't get my money back, and i could never see Dave Growl play the drums in this legendary band. Them Crooked Vultures played live on lowlands this year and by accident i was there. It was smashing! I know, this is nothing new and everybody says so, but still, it inspired me again to become the greatest drummer in pop history.
