For those of us who were too busy with chores to realize that there was a planetary concert happening on 7.7.07, it turns out that today is your lucky day. Saturday was Al Gore's lucky day when he discovered that the only person more powerful than the President of the United States is the world's largest rock concert promoter. Al has put on a few pounds in the last couple of years, but he is now officially larger than the Adominable Snowman and twice as warm.
Point being. The planet is full of music. More than you can hear, but don't stop yourself from trying. Videos from all the Live Earth venues are viewable on the web so you can surf some new music and catch up if you've been slacking off. The process is a little slow, and expect a crash or two, but you'll find some music you didn't know before or didn't know well enough. One of my favs so far has been the hypnotic sounds of Sneaky Sound System. Just the right groove and vibe for summer, plus the singer out front, Miss Connie Mitchell, the one with the fancy clothes and tony pipes, makes all the difference in this band. Plus, you gotta love a band that records on the Whack House label.
