Independent musicians donated the songs — 46 tracks in all — and 100 percent of the money goes to Red Cross in Japan. Check out this song by the Mighty Oaks, a Berlin-based folk group: More information here: Music 4 Japan. From the project founder Wells Baum: “I’ve been overwhelmed by the submissions from musicians and labels across the globe to help support this campaign. As a result, you will hear 41+ diverse tracks, including Indie Rock, Electronica, Beats, Hip-Hop, Grime, and even a little Country.” Filed under: Music, Social Media Tagged: indie, japan, music 4 japan, red cross, tsunami (Source: Donna Trussell) Donna Trussell blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=4724193 Sun, 17 Apr 2011 03:28:38 +0100 4724193 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=3746713&cid=t_114328_87_f&fid=36050&url=http%3A%2F%2Fblisstree.com%2Flive%2Fhipster-nutrition-zooey-deschanel-gives-up-vegetarian-and-vegan-diet%2F photo: WENN.com Attention, all you vegan and vegetarian hipster chicks out there, you just lost one of your own. Zooey Deschanel, queen of the indie screen and, lately, indie airwaves (She & Him), has given up on her vegan/vegetarian diet. Apparently, Deschanel found out that she couldn’t eat soy or wheat, and made the decision to incorporate meat and dairy back into her diet. We can’t exactly blame her. If we didn’t eat soy, dairy, meat or wheat, we’re not sure exactly what we’d eat besides straight up fruits and vegetables. And, as Deschanel says, “…sometimes you just need a little something, a little meat.” via Contact Music Post from: BlissTree Hipster Nutrition: Zooey Deschanel Gives Up Vegetarian and Vegan Diet (Source: Breastfeedin...

Usually, this feeling is immediately followed by a surge of depression, as you realize that you probably will never be friends with them – but let’s focus on the positive here. Thao (one of our favorite indie-rockers) and Dianna Agron (our favorite former mean girl of Glee fame) have collaborated on a video for one of Thao’s latest songs, “Body.” Dianna directs the video, and it’s an awesome take on a great song. But the coolest thing to come out of this collaboration is the fact that they decided to premiere the video on Oxfam America, to increase awareness of the effects of climate change on the world’s ...

The only reason for me to use Facebook is contact people I don’t see in years, and that facet of it I appreciate. On the other hand I really liked FriendFeed, which is (was) a great service, but didn’t have a commercialization plan, hence it was sold. Anyway, the best analogy I can make of this purchase is: It’s like when that indie, miniscule band that you love and cherish goes mainstream. In a matter of seconds, the whole world knows that band and you don’t like it anymore, because you “discovered” it, because they were “connected” only to you, not the whole world. Now, FriendFeed is Facebook, and Facebook is mainstream, and we scientists need to stay indie, or at least ke...
