My Morning Jacket

I have been listening to My Morning Jacket a lot lately, and I am really impressed. They have an X-Factor going that is really cool, with good songs and solid vocals. It is roots, genuine music that is at the same time polished and very well done in every way. They maximize their musical talents and that is very instructive when you think about how complete the music sounds without any really over-the-top musicianship. My Morning Jacket is a very nice band that is becoming one of my favorites. Check out the video below:

Affordable organic clothing

Organic cotton tees and other types of organic cotton clothing are a great way to help to heal the environment and support green sustainable agriculture, and musicians and fans of good music are always counted on to be open minded enough to help to usher in the changes that we need as a society. We have to be observant concerning the way that we spend our money and try to support organic farmers and clothes organic, and the nice thing is that organic cotton tees are quite affordable when you shop at the right eco business. Support the green economy with organic cotton tees and other affordable organic clothing.

KUNV in Las Vegas

I have been living in Las Vegas for seven years now, with three different three month respites to Flagstaff, Reno, and Sedona. I like to get out of the big city because I love hiking and I love nature, and it is always a good idea to spend the summer someplace other that Vegas if you are not a camel.

I have come to appreciate many things about Las Vegas, however, and one of the very best things about living here is the public radio station KUNV. They play real jazz around the clock on Monday through Friday, and several of the on air personalities are actually accomplished, working jazz musicians in their own right, so the programming is quite authentic. John Nasshen, who is the drummer in the band Quintessence, is my own favorite KUNV jazz voice.

On the weekends they have a number of different shows that are devoted to different types of music that one rarely hears on the radio. There is a Hawaiian music show, a reggae show, bluegrass, women songwriters, blues, The Grateful Dead Hour with David Gans, world music, the Lyons Den, which is jam bands and other expansive music, the Word Up show, which is conscious hip hop...and they even have a Doo-Wop show.

When people who don't live here think about Las Vegas they generally don't realize that we have everyday people here living everyday lives. And one of the simple pleasure of my everyday life here in Las Vegas is KUNV.

Mayan calendar 2012 research

Mayan calendar 2012 is an interesting topic, and there are many musicians out there who are into the end of the Mayan calendar and 2012. To many people, especially back in their early days, and the Mayan calendar and STS 9 went hand in hand, and it is indeed an interesting topic.

I have studied Mayan calendar 2012 information over the years, and I have taken a long look at a lot of the research that is out there. Many feel that the end of the Mayan calendar is indicative of some sort of gloomy scenario, but to me, it signals the end of one cycle of the evolution of consciousness and the beginning of another. For this reason, I am looking forward to December 21 2012 and I would encourage others to look into the fascination research that exists concerning Mayan calendar 2012.
