Playing for Change: Peace through Music

A documentary called "Playing for Change" was featured on Bill Moyers Journal a while ago and, to put it lightly, looked drop-your-pants awesome. Here's a video of the song "Stand by Me" performed by musicians from all around the world. And I do mean "from all around the world", because the artists recorded their parts in their respective countries without the benefit of being able to hear each other.

I'm serious, watch this video and if you don't get goosebumps, please leave me a comment.

Edit: I just found out that the producer, Mark Johnson, will be interviewed on the show where I work! Spooky...

I am so addicted to this song that I've been listening to on repeat for the last hour. Do they not look like the coolest couple ever?

I'm sorry for all the videos I've been posting lately. I promise this will be the last one for a while. And this really is so worth it...

Studying

Now that finals are right around the corner, I am slowly losing sleep, hygiene, and sanity. But in the midst of my 10-page paper on science fiction and the ability for human beings to upload themselves into computers I have discovered something wonderful. This is the perfect music to play while you are studying, driving, eating dinner, taking a bath, washing the dog, doing your taxes, etc...
