Mississippi Records American Tour 
Featuring a Cosmic and Earthly History of Recorded Music according to Mississippi Records
+ short films by Raw Music International 
+ DJ set by Golden Wilson (Olvido Records)
A mix of film, audio, slides and lecture presented by Mississippi Records founder Eric Isaacson.  This presentation attempts to tell the entire history of recorded music in 90 minutes - from the first star being born to the current age of bizarre technology.  A psychedelic and entertaining approach is favored over anything academic.
Subjects covered will include the cosmic patterns that resemble music generated by stars being born and dying, the untold early history of recording technology (including tales of Archeoacoustic technology that allows us to hear recordings from 2,000 years or more ago, cat pianos, the phonautogram which reproduces sounds from dust and much more), the rise of blues, rock and roll, and other revolutionary American music forms and their subsequent destruction by the powers that be, and some hopeful messages about the future.
The main history presentation will be preceded by a very short segment about the Mississippi Records label featuring rarely seen footage of our favorite artists.
 Mississippi Records is a store and label based in Portland, Oregon. They've released over 260 records spanning nearly every genre of music, ran a store for 15 years, and traveled the world with presentations such as this one.  All of this has been done with no online presence, no promotion or advertising of any kind anywhere and no general existence in the digital world.
Here is a preview of sorts, featuring images from the show -

Saturday, January 12th, 7:30pm, $10
Event page [oaklandoctopus.org/hummingbirds-richard-stuverudderek-mcculloch-ardent-sons-730pm-10]
- Hummingbirds (new collaboration by Richard Stuverud & Derek McCulloch):
Richard Stuverud is best known for playing drums in several bands in the Seattle scene including Pearl Jam! Derek McCulloch is an author of graphic novels, comics, and books for children, lyricist, and playwright. He was born in Ottawa, Canada and now lives in Oakland.
- Ardent Sons
The brain child of Tony Sales and Mike Wolf, The Ardent Sons began as a shared love of 60's RnB and Soul by the likes of Joe Tex, Sam and Dave, The Staple Singers and Little Richard. Sales and Wolf recruited local legend Dave Flores and together they found a sound as much rooted in the grind of the MC5 as in the voodoo of Dr. John, a line that connects the legacy of Stax and Muscle Shoals to the blue eyed RnB of the Small Faces and The Box Tops. A fresh sound for fresh people.
