D.C. to host surprise Live Earth show Final point awarded in Gore v. Inhofe	Sarah van Schagen	06 Jul 2007	Gristmill
Remember how Gore wanted to have the U.S. Live Earth concert in Washington, D.C., on the National Mall? And then Inhofe was all "it's partisan, you can't do it, neiner, neiner." And then Gore was all "fine, we'll have it at Giants Stadium in New Jersey." And then Inhofe was all "fine!" And then they both slammed their doors. Yeah, good times. Well, now, Gore's all "Ha, ha, sucka, we worked around your whole 'partisan' bullshit, ...

Photo: Jennifer Hall "I'm recording [this interview] so I can send the tapes to Jerry Lewis; he archives all of my interviews," Beastie Boy Mike D deadpanned at the other end of the phone line.

Music to Our Ears Music festivals across the country aim to lessen their footprint	Sarah van Schagen	03 Jul 2007	Arts and Minds
Bonnaroo 2006. Photo: Sarah van Schagen. I'm sitting in the middle of a field in rural Tennessee, and it feels like it's got to be 110 degrees out. Somehow I've forgotten about my sweat-lined brow and muddy shoes; instead, I'm focused on listening to Bonnaroo's head press guy, Ken Weinstein of Big Hassle Media, talk about the music festival's ongoing efforts to put on a greener ...

Live Earth: How green are the concerts for a climate in crisis? Depends how you define green	Sarah van Schagen	02 Jul 2007	Gristmill
On 7/7/07, climate change awareness will officially rock, as a series of concerts kick off at venues as far afield as Shanghai, Sydney, and the South Pole. Chatter about the Live Earth concerts has been rampant for months as bits of gossip trickled in here and there. Though organizers still promise a few surprises, much of the mystery is gone at this point. But when it all goes down this weekend, one question is still weighing on a few minds: How green will thes ...

Alterna Live Earth show More rockin' for the planet	Katy Balatero	22 Jun 2007	Gristmill
Seattleites, take note: For anyone not willing to stand on an ice floe in subzero temperatures or pony up the cash to make it out to one of the other Live Earth concerts, you have another option. Local public-radio darling KEXP is hosting a benefit concert on July 7, 2007, to raise funds for the Shoreline Solar Project. The project promotes the use of solar energy and has installed solar photovoltaic systems in a couple of local schools. Part of the show will be st ...

In Black	Sarah K. Burkhalter	21 Jun 2007	Gristmill
Hey, L.A.-area folk -- if you're around this weekend, head to the Jazz Bakery in Culver City at 4:00 p.m. on Sunday, June 24, to watch talented teenage jazz musicians In Black. (Here's their MySpace, with songs for your listening pleasure.) The Culver City stop is part of the group's climate-focused Solutions Tour, and you can chat with them next week when they participate in Grist's InterActivist column. I'd say 'get jazzed' -- but since David informed me th ...

Bonnaroo: Wishin' and hopin' It ain't enough to make a tour green	Sarah van Schagen	19 Jun 2007	Gristmill
Bonnaroo isn't the easiest place to transcribe interviews, what with the 24-hour music for four days straight. So I'll be continuing to post new material from my time at the festival for the next couple days. And I've also got some longer interviews planned for the future. Get psyched!Next up, my chat Sunday with Colin Meloy of the Decemberists, a "hyperliterate prog-rock" band (as described by Stephen Colbert) hailing from Portland, Ore. Colin, you joke ...

Bonnaroo: Attention vegan girls! Comedian Dave Attell wants your number	Sarah van Schagen	18 Jun 2007	Gristmill
Comedian Dave Attell wants your number. No, really! The star of Comedy Central's Insomniac was at Bonnaroo this year working the air-conditioned comic tent. At a press conference Sunday afternoon, Attell said he's really here for the hippie girls, and that he likes a vegan girl who can keep him up all night talking about recycling. I laughed as he said it, but doubted whether it were true -- so I decided to chat with him afterward and find out for sure.I liked y ...

Gettin' dirty at Bonnaroo Did someone call for a smog machine?	Sarah van Schagen	18 Jun 2007	Gristmill
No, that's not smog. It's all the dry, dusty dirt drifting everywhere I go here at Bonnaroo. It's in my hair, covering my shoes, and stuck to every drop of sweat on my body. That I can deal with ...The problem is that it's also in my eyes, my nose, my lungs. I came here perfectly healthy, and I'll be going home with itchy eyes, a stuffed up nose, a dry throat, congested lungs, and a not-so-sexy cough. Roo-goers are holding kerchiefs, t-shirts, towels -- anyt ...

Bonnaroo: The Cold War Kids heat things up At a press-only Bonnaroo show	Sarah van Schagen	17 Jun 2007	Gristmill
Caught a press-only acoustic performance yesterday with the Cold War Kids, Elvis Perkins, and Alec Ounsworth (dreamy!) from Clap Your Hands Say Yeah. The show was amazing; the guys played several songs from each band, ending with "Doomsday" by Elvis Perkins, which has amazing (and somewhat relevant) lyrics that I can't seem to find online. Bummer. But I did get a chance to chat with Nathan Willett from Cold War Kids afte ...

NYT blogs Bonnaroo And comments on the green efforts	Sarah van Schagen	17 Jun 2007	Gristmill
There's a lot of press here at Bonnaroo, so I don't know why I was so surprised to find out that Jon Pareles of The New York Times is here blogging the festival. I guess I just can't imagine the Gray Lady all sweaty and covered in dirt, hanging out with the hippies.Anyway, Friday he posted a short piece on Bonnaroo's greening efforts -- check it out.

Bonnaroo: Gettin' friendly with Franti At a Bonnaroo press conference	Sarah van Schagen	15 Jun 2007	Gristmill
I just left the first press conference of Bonnaroo where hiphop-funk-reggae guru Michael Franti of Spearhead set the stage by explaining his routine when coming to Bonnaroo: "The first thing I always do is go over to the port-a-potty, because you can tell what stage the festival is in ..." The man speaks the truth. Asked about using the stage as a soapbox, Franti went on to speak about the community at Bonnaroo: "When you come to a festival, you'r ...

Bonnaroo crowds (and trash) arrive Look out!	Sarah van Schagen	15 Jun 2007	Gristmill
The masses started arriving yesterday. Gates opened at noon, and 'Roo-goers were ready. At left is the 'before' shot -- the open grassy field (once home to cows and cow pies) that will soon be just a field of dirt covered in dirt-covered people and dirt-covered trash. Unless Clean Vibes has something to do with it, that is. They're the expert trash-picker-uppers I mentioned last year. And if what I saw yesterday is any indication, they're back in full force ...

Live Earth: This just in ... Antarctica gig lined up for Live Earth concerts	Chris Schults	14 Jun 2007	Gristmill
Antarctica gig lined up for Live Earth concerts: OK, so they're not rock stars. But scientists with the British Antarctic Survey will guarantee Al Gore's promise that the Live Earth concerts on July 7 will be performed on all 7 continents. They'll be performing during the dead of winter at the Rothera Research Station. In fact, it'll be the first time anyone outside the station has heard the indie rock-folk band, Nunatak, play at all. (Nunatak, by the way, is a G ...

Bonnaroo part deux I'm baaaack ...	Sarah van Schagen	14 Jun 2007	Gristmill
I'm writing this post while sitting at the Grist booth at Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival in Manchester, Tenn. If you're here, come say hi -- and explain why you're reading Gristmill instead of listening to some of the amazing music out here. It seems like it was just a year ago that I was out here reporting on all the ways Bonnaroo is making efforts to go green. And wondering how I would survive four nights in a tent ... let alone set it up. I guess I just c ...

We got TRASHed, and angry The Girls of Grist do Sasquatch	Kate Sheppard	29 May 2007	Gristmill
A group of Grist hotties ladies just returned from the Sasquatch Music Festival at the Gorge in George, Wash., where we spent two days volunteering at the TRASHed Recycling Store, sponsored by Global Inheritance, a hip nonprofit based in California that combines creativity, youthful enthusiasm, and activism into unique, progressive-minded projects. They travel around and do activisty things at different events that the yoot flock to, like Coachella, the X Games, and S ...

Live Earth: Linkin Park to headline Tokyo show And start a green tour	Sarah van Schagen	29 May 2007	Gristmill
Live Earth organizers announced today that Linkin Park will headline the Tokyo show. They also announced that Japan will be the only country to have two events -- one in surburban Tokyo (the mainstage featuring Linkin Park) and one at a Buddhist temple in Kyoto (and I think you get the connection there). The Kyoto temple event will feature the Yellow Magic Orchestra, an electropop outfit starring Ryuichi Sakamoto, who wrote the score for the 1992 Barcelona Olymp ...

Friday music blogging: Mark Ronson A tune for the end of the week	David Roberts	25 May 2007	Gristmill
Listen Play 'Valerie,' by Mark Ronson: Two of the best pop albums of the last year are Lily Allen's Alright, Still and Amy Winehouse's Back to Black. What do they have in common (besides cute, clever female singer-songwriters, that is)? Producer Mark Ronson. The guy's a mad pop genius. As it happens, Ronson puts out albums of his own. The latest is called Version, and it's composed of cover versions of contemporary pop songs. H ...

Live Earth: 7+ concerts on 7ish continents on 7/7/07 And if I could work another 7 in there, I would	Sarah van Schagen	17 May 2007	Gristmill
The Live Earth website has been updated with a fancy (and much improved) new design that features a different 'Climate Crisis Solution' every time you refresh the page (not that I've refreshed it multiple times in an effort to see every single tip ...). And lately, news tidbits about the concerts are popping up fast and furious as well. On the furiouser side, Live Aid and Live 8 organizer Bob Geldof has said Live Earth is a waste of time. Meanwhile, another gr ...

Someday you will die and somehow something's gonna steal your carbon Music blogging comes to Gristmill	David Roberts	15 May 2007	Gristmill
I've decided that green or no green, I'm going to start getting some music up on this blog. Every blog needs some music, right? Listen Play 'Parting of the Sensory,' by Modest Mouse: Anyway, I've been digging on the new Modest Mouse album We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank. Here's 'Parting of the Sensory,' from which this post's title comes. And in other music news: Hey look, MTV interviewed Cloud Cult!
