Relive Live Earth Again and again	Sarah van Schagen	09 Jul 2007	Gristmill
Did you miss out on seeing Live Earth as it happened? Or maybe you saw it all, but just can't get enough? You're in luck! You can relive your favorite performances, your favorite fashion faux pas, and all the Gore-y goodness (hologram or otherwise!) on MSN's Live Earth site.I also recommend checking out the Green Production Blog.

The Day the Music Lied? Live Earth reaches an estimated 2 billion, critics harp on hypocrisy By all accounts, Live Earth (perhaps you've heard of it?) was a smashing success. Organizers say the shows reached about 2 billion people in 130 countries. More than 150 musical acts crooned, and supporters held more than 10,000 registered "fringe events" in addition to the main concerts on every continent. A ...

Alive after Live Earth Your intrepid Grist correspondent sweats through an arena concert, so you don't have to	Emily Gertz	09 Jul 2007	Gristmill
Don't ever say we never did anything for you. On Saturday, while you were cavorting in the surf, grilling organic free-range meat on the barbecue (or is that barbecuing meat on the grill?), or kicking back with a good book in the sweet, sweet air conditioning, Grist was sweating at Live Earth New York. Er, New Jersey. Whatever. We suffered through sets by Ludacris, Melissa Etheridge, Roger Waters, and the Police to report back -- to YOU, dear Grist reader -- from the fr ...

Live Earth: Mercy, mercy me The song still has relevance today	Sarah van Schagen	07 Jul 2007	Gristmill
I'm watching the Live Earth coverage on NBC, and I've got to say, I'm impressed. It's really well done -- concert highlights intermixed with artist and celeb interviews, and plenty of easy tips on how to take action at home. For those on the East Coast, it's too late -- but West Coasters, tune in!I was struck by two performances -- both of Marvin Gaye's 1971 hit "Mercy, Mercy Me" (one by Alicia Keys in New York and one by John Legend and Corinne Bailey Ra ...

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, ...

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 ...

Back: In Black In Black, climate-conscious youth jazz band, answers readers' questions		29 Jun 2007	InterActivist
Whose idea was it to have the Solutions Tour? Are you connected to an organization? Do you talk about your ideas when you do a gig? What is the band going to do when college takes a member away? -- Elaine Sinclaire, Bloomington, Calif. The Solutions Tour was a collective idea. We wanted to do a tour, and Lati said, "We should take a biodiesel bus!" It grew from there into the Solutions ...

Friday music blogging: Midlake Groovy tunes to take you into the weekend	David Roberts	22 Jun 2007	Gristmill
Listen Play 'Roscoe,' by Midlake: I missed music blogging last week, and I don't want to miss it again, but I gotta hurry -- I need to run to my kid's parent-teacher conference. (Yes, they have those in preschool -- WTF?) This song is from one of my favorite albums of last year: The Trials of Van Occupanther, by a band called Midlake, one of those bands that might as well have fallen down from Mars. The sound is somewhat remini ...

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 ...
