Propsition 8 Protest

The passing of Proposition 8 has fueled many Californians to walk the streets in protest of discrimination and bigotry. One of our little indians was there to support the cause. Check out this video from inside the protest.

Björk on the music of Karlheinz Stockhausen

Source: www.guardian.co.uk

"For me, Stockhausen was one of the pioneers who started a new root in music. The electronic root, whose aesthetic is very specific, has its own organic interior, a structure that has DNA independent from other music trees (for example, the classical Beethoven/Wagner/Mahler tree or the blues/rock/Philip Glass branch). When Karlheinz harnessed electricity into sound and showed the rest of us, he sparked off a sun that is still burning and will glow for a long time."

Náttúra - The Song and The Purpose

Björk has released a new single, Náttúra, featuring Thom Yorke, Brian Chippendale, Matthew Herbert, and Mark Bell. The track was written and produced by Björk exclusively for the campaign, which aims at collating and providing sustainable and eco-friendly options suitable for Iceland, and generating alternative ways to utilize it's natural reources.

According to Björk, "It is now more important than ever before to emphasize a respect for nature... I believe that profits, technological advances and working together with nature can all go hand in hand. None need to be sacrificed at the expense of the others."

NEW RELEASE: Jesse Malin "On Your Sleeve"

After three critically acclaimed solo albums over the last decade, Jesse Malin’s latest album releases to the US following the UK release earlier this year now with four additional tracks including "Leaving This Babylon" (The Bad Brains), "It's Not Enough" (Johnny Thunders), "Lady From Baltimore" (Tim Hardin) and "Fairytale of New York" (The Pogues).

A labor of love, “On Your Sleeve” bears it’s title as plainly as Jesse Malin bears his heart on this album. Reminding anyone who came of age in the punk era of those long hours spent ear to the speaker or gazing, belly-up at the ceiling in headphones, Malin offers up to rockers an album of indie favorites, paying respects to a prolific generation of punk progenitors and veteran composers. The release features interpretations of classic singer-songwriters like Neil Young, Paul Simon and Elton John, along with contemporary greats like The Hold Steady, Bad Brains and Lou Reed.

After stints in the 1980s and `90s with hardcore bands and the popular NY punk rock band D Generation, Jesse Malin ventured solo into the 2000's with a series of genre-bending albums that found an urban toughness in roots-rock. "On Your Sleeve breaks the clever, clever mold by tackling chiefly solid-gold classics, and comes out on top." - Mojo Magazine

"On Your Sleeve" is the blossoming of an idea that started as a joke with his fans while performing the occasional cover on tour. The song choices arose out of "all those songs that hit me at certain points in my life and never stopped."
