The Mockingbird Foundation is a non-profit organization founded by Phish fans in 1996 to generate charitable proceeds from the Phish community.
And since we're entirely volunteer – with no office, salaries, or paid staff – administrative costs are less than 2% of revenues! So far, we've distributed over $2 million to support music education for children – hundreds of grants in all 50 states, with more on the way.
Covering Joy Division's 'Unknown Pleasures" is probably a bridge too far, or rather, too dark. However, it would be fascinating to hear Mike's take on the bass parts.
If you aren't familiar with Madchester - I recommend checking out the relevant material on wikipedia. One link will lead to another. Also the movies: 24 Hour Party People and Joy Division (the latter is a documentatry, the former a docu-drama about the broader scene). Relevant Bands : Joy Division, New Order, Happy Mondays, The Stone Roses, The Fall, the Durutti Column and I would also include the Smiths.
