We’re pretty excited here at Biased Bohemian to have our very own dark horse music production unit “Donkey Horse Mule” featured on netBlock. Alongside artists with actual music talent and production skills, Donkey Horse Mule has managed to secure a place on the ccMixter Strike’s the Root compilation released today (8/2/2011).
netBlock describes the release as follows:
To coincide with the launch of Lawrence Lessig’s new project Rootstrikers.org – a place where people can share their personal stories of how corruption has impacted their lives, with ideas on how to fix it, in April ccMixter held a remix event called “Strike The Root”. For this event, mixters were invited to ”contribute spoken word, pellas, samples and remixes based on the Henry David Thoreau quote: There are a thousand hacking at the branches of evil to one who is striking at the root. ~ Henry David Thoreau”.
It’s been a while that we’ve wanted to prepare a special ccMixter themed netBloc release. The “Strike The Root” event seemed the perfect reason to do so. To help spread the word about Lessig’s important project, we’ve compiled “netBloc Vol. 34: ccMixter Strike’s The Root”.
Thanks to ccMixter and all participating artists! Thanks again to you for downloading & listening! Remember, keep the music moving share it… blog it… podcast it! If you’re in radio… support truly independent music and broadcast it!
