[the duke]

they're doing some stuff in Australia the moment...over easter and stuff...if I wasn't booked out and broke, i'd be going....

[sway2sway]

hey, do you like fishbone? they are playing on your continent this week.

[the duke]

never heard of them, but don't sound like something I like...there's SO many gigs in the city where I live...too many to see or even hear about! :)

[angischy]

I just turned on the radio and caught the last 10 seconds of
a piece about Ozomatli on NPR (National Public Radio for those of you not in the US).

You can check it out here (http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=10268539) after Noon today.

I'm a bit of an NPR nerd (i.e. I love This American Life and Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me) but these days I download podcasts or interesting things online rather than listen on the radio so much.
You can always find some interesting music and/or artist interview at http://www.npr.org/music for those of us with a voracious musical appetite for new stuff to listen to.

For example, They did a nice piece on Rufus Wainwright (http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=10262991)'s new album Release The Stars complete with live performances and a lengthy interview.
Also this week, there was a brief phone interview with Michael Franti (http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=10240157) talking about the concert he's doing this weekend at San Quentin State Prison.

i loved these guys at red rocks and can't wait to see them in atlanta.

so picked up embrace the chaos in denver and it was great on the ride home last night. so who has what album? any recommendations on what to pick up next?

[Miss Shark]

Don't Mess with the Dragon is great, but I like it all.....

[sway2sway]

my favorite is street signs, I think. I haven't got the new one yet.

[reggaeuplifts]

good, but not quite as good as their old stuff.

[Miss Shark]

So I'll continue here rather than the thread I wont even mention. They are doing a free show in Chicago on September 14th @ Millennium Park celebrating the 20th aniversary of the National Museum of Mexican Art.

this was in my email this morning. earth dance fest in cali sept15-16
ozo, lyrics born, the coup, ALO + more

http://www.earthdance.org/sf

and check this, kinda cool I think, even on intent alone.
================================================== =====
At 4pm PST on September 15th, 2007 millions of people across the world will unite their voices to create the world's largest synchronized Global OM, uniting over 350 Earthdance locations in 60 countries.

This magic moment will be the highlight of the 11th annual Earthdance International peace festival, and will be the first time in recorded history that global participants will attune to a special specific frequency that is derived from the natural sound of the Earth itself .

In support of this the 2007 Earthdance International focus of "Honoring the Waters", The Global OM will be transmitted into the waters of several major rivers throughout the world via specially designed underwater speakers. These waterways include the Amazon, the Ganges, the Nile and the Mississippi.This gesture is our attempt to "homeopathically resonate" the Earth's water with our global intention of healing the water, and thus unite all life, on land and sea.

[Miss Shark]

How great is that?!?!? I hope the water creatures like it.
