It turns out that Ani DiFranco's ganja-induced "J" is not just about ending the drug war and legalizing marijuana, but it's also the oil spill. Who knew?

SWR1 : "In Deutschland hat sich eine ausgeprägte Rücktrittskultur entwickelt. Nutzt ein Politiker seine dienstlichen Bonus-Meilen privat, muss er zurück treten. Wird er beim gratis Urlaub auf einer Unternehmerjacht ertappt, kann er abdanken. Dank der Medien steigen Politiker schnell auf, fallen durch die Presse aber auch sehr schnell und tief. Vorbilder gibt es genug, Lehren werden daraus nicht wirklich gezogen. Oder glaubt ein Bundespräsident, er könnte Affären aussitzen wie einst Franz Josef Strauß. Am bayerischen Ministerpräsidenten bröselte jede Kritik nahezu wirkungslos ab. Aber damals war die politische Kultur noch eine andere und die öffentliche Meinung überzeugt, [...]

„Nahostpolitik und Plastikstuhlfotografie" steht in meiner Blog-tag line. Und hier trifft beides zu. Auf dem Weblog des exil-iranischen Schriftstellers Ali Schirasi , den ich vor zwei Jahren auf einem Seminar im ABC kennen lernen durfte, fand ich folgende Fotos der iranischen Nachrichtenagentur MEHR. Wer meint, bei so viel bewaffneten Organen bräuchte die iranische Geistlichkeit keine eigenen Waffen, der täuscht sich. […] Sie zeigen hochrangige Theologen, die in Qom an den islamischen Lehrstätten unterrichten. Dass sie jetzt zum Gewehr greifen, zeigt deutlich, wie der anstehende Machtkampf aussehen wird. Diese Herren scheinen jedenfalls der Überzeugung [...]

Ani DiFranco could be one of the most prolific artists in the music world today, however, even as she is on her seventeenth full-length album right now, she has not covered many songs. She is an original and has an influx of songs that can fill up many albums. But, when something is as pertinent as this song, Ani takes the chance, but with her own twist. DiFranco took this old labour union folk song penned in activism by coal miner's wife Florence Reece and built on it, changed the lyrics to make them timely for this era and gave it [...]

We can't tell you how beautiful 2012 will be just because Ani DiFranco's new album, which had the longest hiatus precede it, is coming out on the 17th of January 2012. This is a cover, but Ani changed the lyrics a little bit to fit the time. We love is some Ani. "A little socialism, don't scare us one bit." - gotta love it.

Фотография предоставлена Алисой По По сообщению анонимного источника, Владимир Путин начинает смотреть в сторону музыкальных блогов. В подтверждение этому – первое изображение, на котором известный политик предстаёт в образе Джеймса Блейка . Также, ньюсмейкер отметил, что помимо песен группы «Любэ» ему особенно нравятся композиции «Once We All Agree» и «I Never Learnt to Share».

It might seem dichotomous and down-right wrong to sing this song at the Wall Street protests, but we think they are either parodying it or just using some playful irony. They are certainly not cheering about "livin' in a material world." In any case, the spirit of the protesters are high and we hope reform comes out of this. This system the world lives in is stale and backwards. No one is benefitting except the greedy. It's about time socialism wasn't thought of as a dirty word. As long as one person lives in poverty, we all live in poverty. [...]

We grew up listening to this music and it still rings true to us. Music is great, but it's greater when you have something to say. Ani DiFranco always has something to say. This is a great kinetic typography adaptation of the spoken word track from the monumental album Puddle Dive that was the voice of a generation. Listen without prejudice.

D.O.C.H. - Was in der Zeitung steht Ein großer Teil der indiestreber-Redaktion studiert Publizistik. Und trotzdem haben wir es bisher nicht hinbekommen, uns mal genauer mit dem Verhältnis von Musikern und Journalisten auseinanderzusetzen. Bis jetzt. Es ist nämlich kein unkompliziertes, dieses Verhältnis: Die Musiker sind angewiesen auf Publicity (zumindest, wenn sie reich und berühmt werden wollen - oder überhaupt von einer größeren Gruppe Menschen wahrgenommen werden), die Journalisten liefern diese Publicity, sind aber nicht selten interessiert an den großen und kleinen Debakeln der Musiker. Diese sind davon natürlich genervt (wie [...]
