"... no christ, no budha, no priest, no rabbi, no guru can do it for you. You have to develop your own 'one-on-one relationship' with the mystery; with the divine ..."
The Way You Dream is my all time favorite song that I've played over and over for about 10 years now. It still moves me deeply every single time. If I ever meet someone who is as moved by this song as I am, it's all over... I know I will have found my new partner in life. Music is everything.
The 1 Giant Leap and What About Me? films are exceptional and were done by Duncan Bridgeman and James Catto as a true labor of love over several years traveling the world seeking out the brightest and most innovative talent. You can find it easily by searching.
And if I may be even more personal, this song has been instructed to be played after my passing when I shed my skin suit and continue on my journey. It continues to move me in life and in death.

Delta Spirit's self-titled record arrives March 13, 2012 on Rounder Records. Delta Spirit was produced by Chris Coady at Dreamland Recording Studios -- a converted church built in 1896 in Woodstock, New York. The album follows 2010's History From Below and 2008's Ode To Sunshine.
Through the recording process the band grew their sound sonically, inspired to use instruments they had not previously experimented with. The album's raucous energy and no-holds barred performances will appeal to Delta Spirit's fan base, which has grown consistently thanks to their explosive live shows.

A grey Monday in January, the perfect time to dwell on death, loss and communal grief right? For whatever reason, (and London’s current exhibition Death: Southbank Centre’s Festival for the Living is probably a factor, as was Rebecca’s Songs About Death Listomania last week) we’ve been picking our perfect signing out songs.
There’s a variety of ways you can bow out and head off to the great gig in the sky. Have a rummage online and funeral song suggestions seem to fall broadly into four categories: the celebratory, the tearjerkers, the literal (Brian Eno’s ‘An Ending (Ascent)’, The Doors’ ‘The End’, ‘Stairway To Heaven’, ‘Knocking On Heaven’s Door’), and the comedy (‘Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life’, ‘The Final Countdown’, ‘Highway To Hell’).

Only a scant few people did a funeral song when I was coming of age but now it's de rigueur. I personally haven't thought about this in years but my ideas for funeral songs have been all over the map. From the predictable Dylan, Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, and even a dying Cabaret song from the movie of the same name.
Now that I am approaching another milestone birthday this fall, I should look at this again and find the perfect song. Do I go for comedy? A tear jerker? Suggestions? Or have you heard a good goodbye song?
Despite the coverage of Libya shown in the western media over the years, being overly filled with negativity and violence, the truth rarely shown in the west is that the land with its beautiful desert is a place of peace. The peace resonates with the people and their music, from the wonderful sounds of desert tradition to a seldom known, but a well hidden in the desert secret: Libyan reggae music (best played on cassette).

Chris Robinson (lead singer of The Black Crowes) doesn't do many interviews. At this point in his career he doesn't have to, and this year he has mostly, as one press agent put it, "let his music speak for him." But he took time to talk to Xpress in advance of his Orange Peel show with his current band, The Chris Robinson Brotherhood, because "No. 1, I really love Asheville and I love that area," he says. "It's small and that's good. It's like how we're starting — what we're doing is very hands on and grassroots."
Robinson says that he's not into talking heads and sound bites, but "if you have something to say, it's better to take a little time and do that." So what does he want to say to his Asheville fans? "People should know that Freak America loves them," he says.
who: The Chris Robinson Brotherhood
where: The Orange Peel
when: Saturday, Sept. 3 (9 p.m. $18 advance/$20 doors. theorangepeel.net)

“I took an internship at Democracy Now and I started following current events a little bit closer and reading a few books and just getting interested in this idea of collapse. And just playing with this idea of dropping everything, moving to the woods and starting over. And this idea of being aware of all these crazy problems that are going in the world and not really knowing how to react to those problems and that really became more of the motivating force [behind the film],” Lessner said.

Zoe Keating gives Wired an exclusive performance of a song from her up and coming album.
She is the real deal and I'm betting she'll bring the cello to many people who didn't otherwise appreciate it.
Her melodies are full and sophisticated and can hold their own and then the cello comes in and adds this richness to an already fabulous foundation. Just magical.
I'm a big fan.
