Somafm.com – THE COOLEST Web based radio station on earth

This is sooooooo cool.  Give it a listen.  Somafm.com  

A listener-supported commercial free internet only streaming music station which started broadcasting in 1999 out of founder Rusty Hodges basement garage in the Bernal Heights Neighborhood of San Francisco.  It takes its name from the South of Market neighborhood of San Fran and Soma “the perfect pleasure drug” from Brave New World.  Go to wiki to read the rest of the story – it’s pretty cool and the music is absolutely groovy.

Don’t miss –

  • LUSH (sensuous mellow vocals, mostly female, with electronic influence)
  • GROOVE SALAD (a nicely chilled plate of ambient downtempo beats and grooves)
  • SUBURBS OF GOA (desi influenced Asian world beats and beyond)
  • MISSION CONTROL (celebrating NASA and Space explorers everywhere)
  • ps Mission Control has real broadcasts from Apollo Flights

Geography is Significant!

Senior Current Issues – You all are doing a nice job on the study of Africa.  Timelines are up and well done.  The ANW assignments have been interesting and well presented.  Google Docs discussions on Hotel Rwanda and The Last King of Scotland I expect will be quite thought provoking. However our geographical knowledge of the continent is truly lame.  So…lets fix that.  On Tuesday May 14 – we will test on the geography of Africa (no word bank).  I will record a test or two a week on your powerbook gradesheet in order to keep you honest.  It won’t count until the end and then it will count BIG – like 100 points big .  Below are some sights for you to improve your knowledge of the geography.  So get practicing.

One more thing.  If you get a perfect score on the map exam …I will cover dinner at Lou’s Little Africa in GR.  It’s a cool place.  I’ll invite Papa to come along and you can meet a very interesting guy with a fascinating story from Sierra Leone.
