November Reader!

Welcome to the first monthly installment of the Hey Marseilles Reader. To receive The Reader direct to your inbox, subscribe to our mailing list here:

The Reader will strive for excellence through balanced devotion to the concepts of brevity, practicality, punctuality, and love for one’s fellow man. Also, badassery.

An elderly woman once grabbed this arm that is typing, demanded the arm’s date of birth, and informed me that my position on the Virgo / Libra cusp meant that I possess traits inherent to both astrological identities. Bonus. For the uninitiated: Cuspians of the the Virgo/Libra blend are naturally endowed with a shrewd analytical nature of the Virgo variety coupled with “Libra Scale” sharp perception. Try not to be jealous of the fact that I rub astrological shoulders with Anna Karina and Bruce Springsteen (both V/L).

Perception, shrewdness, analyticality. The Hey Marseilles Reader (queue theme song).

The News:
1. We’re proud to be one of the 36 Seattle acts contributing to the GIVE compilation. We’ve had “From a Terrace” remixed for the compilation, and though “remix” doesn’t mean “diplo/digitalism club banger remix,” we’re very excited about it. Cleaner, clearer, and more accurate. Other artists include Ben Gibbard, Champagne Champagne, Fleet Foxes, The Lonely Forest, Mt St Helens Vietnam band, The Cave Singers, Fences, and many, many more.

The $7 (!) compilation will be available at record stores, cafe vita locations, and Neumos; 100% of proceeds will benefit Art Corps and Seattle food banks. Full GIVE Press Release here: http://bit.ly/3dCDAa

2. Four creative and talented teams made music videos for “From a Terrace.” Each is very impressive and unique. We’d be honored if you would help us choose which will become our first official music video! Vote here: http://bit.ly/D2eM6
