Ran across this song; one of my all time favorite artists, Daisy May -

http://www.savethewildup.org/downstream/

(The best I've ever heard her voice on a recording, which is to say, to die for.)

She's on the Earthwork Music label (www.earthworkmusic.com), which, in addition to putting out really excellent folk music, gets involved with local environmental issues and farming (in the state of Michigan). Check it out for the music.

Also, wondering if you all had songs/artists you really liked (any genre) that could be considered 'environmentally conscious.'

EARTH CRISIS.

--- Quote from: EARTH CRISIS MySpace ---This is the new ethic. Animals' lives are their own and must be given respect. Reject the anthropocentric falsehood that maintains the oppressive hierarchy of mankind over the animals. It's time to set them free. Their lives reduced to biomachines in the factory, farm and laboratory. Dairy, eggs and meat, fur, suede, wool, leather are the end products of torture, confinement and murder. I abjure their use out of reverence for all innocent life. Wildlifes' right to live in peace in their natural environment without this civilization's interference can no longer be denied. Must no longer be denied. To make a civilization worthy of the word civilized the cruelty must end, starting within or own lives. Reject the anthropocentric falsehood that maintains the oppressive hierarchy of mankind over the animals. It's time to set them free. Veganism is the essence of compassion and peaceful living. The animals are not ours to abuse or dominate. I abjure their use out of reverence for all innocent life.

Jackie Blue:
Holy shit they're still around.

KvP:
they sure do like the word "abjure".
