Tasteful Guitars: Another dose of quality 6-stringed accompaniment for your enjoyment. Sublime freqs from Muñoz underpin a Pharoah Sanders' spiritual epic, hard turns from Jib Kidder lead us into surf shorts, and ephemeral hooks are lifted from blues & soul recordings by a few hip-hop producers before a strange comedown with the mysterious John T. Gast. ~ Dj Nails

I'm 51...born in 1970. I was 9 when the original Muppet Movie came out in theaters. The opening scene will always instantly bring me to tears. It is beautiful and simple with words that any 9 year old can understand. It makes me think of how innocent I was and how true it is that ignorance is bliss. It also makes me cry because humanity is so very far away from any kind of connection, rainbow or otherwise. 

I was appalled to discover that the official soundtrack version of the song is very different, and in my view terrible compared to the movie version. To please my inner child and set things straight, I have published this rip of the movie version. No extra drums or other BS.. just the original as I heard it in the theater in 1979. I did boost EQ a bit to bring out some of the instruments in this recording. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. If you really want to experience it right, just go watch the movie. Thanks for listening. ~ GM John

This two part civics and music piece includes a Q&A session with Carl Sagan from a 1994 interview that  leads into "Symphony of Science - We Are All Connected" by Melody Sheep. From the artist: 

"We Are All Connected" was made from sampling Carl Sagan's Cosmos, The History Channel's Universe series, Richard Feynman's 1983 interviews, Neil deGrasse Tyson's cosmic sermon, and Bill Nye's Eyes of Nye Series, plus added visuals from The Elegant Universe (NOVA), Stephen Hawking's Universe, Cosmos, the Powers of 10, and more. It is a tribute to great minds of science, intended to spread scientific knowledge and philosophy through the medium of music.

This is a remix of The Doors song "The End." It starts with the famous, "What have they done to Mother Earth" live clip. Then a very relevant quote from a 1970 CBC interview. The songs starts as Jim finishes the quote. Putting these clips together like this tells a much better story and sends a civics message through music. Special thanks to volunteer Kathleen Murphy for doing the research to make this happen.

"I think the average person, whatever that is, should be a part of it somehow. I think everyone feels that events are just going on without their knowledge or control. I think its one of the tragedies of our time." ~ Jim Morrison

The heat is hitting the pavement this week, which means Maze is on my mind. Frankie Beverly and company kick off this show, and along with Kool and the Gang, Joshua Abrams, and a hazy Spirit tune, we'll get on and out into some evening steppers. ~ Dj Nails
