ProgNotFrog Radio Presents: The Voice of The Moon #007 With The Herbalist (with this particular one we protest against war)




Hello:

When I announced an anti-war show two days ago I didn't expect to receive some many comments:Actually, we received three kinds of comments:

(1) Plain Stupid Fascist and/or Fanatic comments. They were rejected without any serious reading.

(2) Smart and well articulated comments, but inclined to one side of the conflict actually taking place in the Middle East. They were rejected after serious reading , they were thought about and we respect those who wrote them but we decided not to allow those to be shown in the blog. Thanks anyway for your opinions. By the way, we also believe that there's people pushing this war and taking advantage from the situation there... but before even starting to discuss that we raise our voice to stop violence.

(3) Nice neutral comments from people that understands that war must be stopped, and that also understands that previous to any discussion, consideration, accusation, etc the world needs violence in the middle east to stop.

Those comments were published.

The announcement has been deleted because we now publish the show itself.

We'll be playing music rooted both arabic and hebrew traditions. From the Muslim-Rock of Dissidenten to the exatraordinary Klezmer influenced band called Beirut. From the Rabinic Chant inspired ambient of Wally Brill to the an arabic blues drenched song of Natacha Atlas. From the deep and emotive work of Black Ox Orkestar to the Tuareg Inspired experimental rock of Justin Adams.

All this and more.

Peace and...

Keep Listening...!!!

Dear The Herbalist: Your postings on Prog seem to be amonf the more interesting, but, having just discovered this blog within the past few days, I find the majority of (i.e. all the older) links are dead. Will you be reposting here or elsewhere. It is a pity to let the older Prog Not Frog postings die, but I think this must be the way of the music blog. If you are posting again or renewing, could you drop me an email? It is linked up in my Blogger profile, or is mcklveen at gmail dot com, to save you the trouble. I have enjoyed you posts immensely! Thank you for your time and effort.
