the talent, it’s groovy

so good, so talented, i love this guy:

pity there’s no decent video of when he appeared with les claypool (whom i also love).  the two of them combined would be awesome to see.

man can play some *bass*:

“the story of cap and trade”

from the story of stuff (also well worth watching) comes “the story of cap and trade”:

The Story of Cap & Trade from Story of Stuff Project on Vimeo.

this reminds me…

i once worked for a company who built refineries / chemical plants.  the engineers would talk about “toxic waste pools” that poisoned the wildlife around the plants / refineries over in the middle east - wild dogs who “went crazy” from drinking from the pools, bedouin who’d have to be paid for cattle that died after drinking from the pools, etc.  i was taken aback by their nonchalance.  they just thought it was funny.  when questioned why such a thing would be allowed, that it was harmful to the environment, they said “but that’s over there, not over here” and they were *serious*. because.  you know.  we don’t all share one atmosphere and one earth.  “over there” can’t get all mingled up with “over here”.  thank god for those invisible barricades, borders.  :|

patty griffin and natalie maines - mary

from a recent sons of anarchy episode (greatest show ever).  beautiful song.

mary, you’re covered in roses,
you’re covered in ashes,
you’re covered in rain,
you’re covered in babies,
covered in slashes,
covered in wilderness,
covered in stains.
you cast aside the sheet, you cast aside the shroud
of another man, who serves the world proud
you greet another son, you lose another one
on some sunny day and always you stay, mary

jesus says mother i couldn’t stay another day longer
flies right by and leaves a kiss upon her face
while the angels are singin’ his praises in a blaze of glory
mary stays behind and starts cleaning up the place

oh mary, she moves behind me
she leaves her fingerprints everywhere
every time the snow drifts,
every way the sand shifts,
even when the night lifts,
she’s always there.

jesus says mother i couldn’t stay another day longer
flies right by and leaves a kiss upon her face
while the angels are singin’ his praises in a blaze of glory
mary stays behind and starts cleaning up the place

mary, you’re covered in roses,
you’re covered in ruins,
covered in secrets,
you’re covered in treetops,
covered in birds,
who can sing a million songs without any words.
you cast aside the sheets, you cast aside the shroud
of another man, who serves the world proud
you greet another son, you lose another one
on some sunny day and always you stay, mary
