The Folk Process is Messy....

... but then so is the Gulf. Songs (and recordings) about oil, dinosaurs and how we got from Earth Day to Dearth Day. Some of it may be funny, but I could also be losing perspective.

As always, things you've probably heard and others I'm almost sure you haven't.

Aza - 6 to 8 SLT (That's 9pm-11pm Eastern time).

Available in SecondLife at The Velvet or by Shoutcast.

The Well Might Be Capped But the Damage Goes On

Here's a music video that follows in the best folk tradition. I'm thinking tonight's show at the Velvet will be a collection of songs and folk responses to the disaster in the Gulf.

in reference to:

"The disaster in the gulf is destroying the oceans, killing off the ecosystem and threatens humans as well. In this song, a just response to the disaster results in people tossing the big oil puppet government aside, because . . . all the fish are dead."

Toomb Paine Beats the Net

Just started, a place where you can listen to or download insane remixes and other compositions of Toomb Paine, Patriot in a despicable age.

The page is on AcidPlanet. You can also find the link over there in the righthand margin along with other fun stuff.

World Beaten-down Folk-Funk for the 21st Century. Aren't you glad you're alive in this interesting age?

Core YouTubez

Still not the quality of vimeo, but this player accesses slightly more video. While YouTube has its share of problems, it remains the site everyone knows, and the one where you can get more random exposure without trying too hard, than just about anywhere. Of course, so can anyone and everyone else. So it becomes harder and harder to cut through the noise.

This gadget now shows my main "channel" in a somewhat odd way, not reflecting much the way that I've structured the channel to emphasize some items. Instead it seems to show the most recent uploads. But it can be used as a portal to the channel on YouTube itself, almost constantly in flux.

Please visit the main boutique in Second Life, on the northern edge of the Huineng region. The link in the name is a SLURL! Now I need to wash my mouth out with soap.

(It's probably simpler to find the location from my own Picks list. At least as long as SL continues to discriminate against mainland sims by making the SLURL page look like you're teleporting into the middle of an ocean. Still, despite the scary view, the SLURL will get you there too.)

Azadine in Second Life

I do a DJ gig in Second Life, where I go by the avatar name of Azadine Umarov. I have an art gallery there, among other things. You may have been referred to this page by my link from Sasun Steinberg's network of kiosks and her sources of information on art in Second Life.

My regular gig is at the Velvet on Fridays, running from 6 to 8 p.m. (Pacific Time). I also play from 7 to 9 (or later) at the Crow's Foot on Wednesdays.

If you don't want to explore Second Life, you can also hear my shows at those times by way of my Shoutcast stream: http://albeelicious.serverroom.us:4780/ Especially with the Wednesday show, I tend to go overtime if anyone is actually listening.

Also, don't be afraid to contact me if you'd like me to play at your club or event.
