If you like dub music, or to play around with dub music, this is a cool interactive site:

http://www.infinitewheel.com/

They took existing contemporary dub tracks, cut 'em up into loops and sounds, and matched the sounds with fun visuals that you play with. There are 9 versions, ranging in quality- the later ones being, for the most part, better.

OK. Spread the word.

Many Thanks to the makers of this site and the people who have
contributed.

I think this has potential. People have put a lot of work into this.

One small drawback:
You can play tracks on-line, but you can`t save them.

--------------------------- :idea: ---------------------------
I would like to see a portion of this site where artists could "gift"
original music for people to save and play off-line...but the default
world has it`s limitations to overcome...

Tired of all the old farts running everything?

Vote `em out.

Rock the Vote: Political power for young people.

http://www.rockthevote.com/home.php

Rock the Vote is a non-profit, non-partisan organization, founded in 1990 in response to a wave of attacks on freedom of speech and artistic expression.

Rock the Vote engages youth in the political process by incorporating the entertainment community and youth culture into its activities. From actors to musicians, comedians to athletes, Rock the Vote harnesses cutting-edge trends and pop culture to make political participation cool.

Rock the Vote mobilizes young people to create positive social and political change in their lives and communities. The goal of Rock the Vote’s media campaigns and street team activities is to increase youth voter turnout. Rock the Vote coordinates voter registration drives, get-out-the-vote events, and voter education efforts, all with the intention of ensuring that young people take advantage of their right to vote.

Rock the Vote’s work doesn’t end when the polls close. We empower young people to create change in their communities and take action on the issues they care about. Regardless of whether youth are signing petitions, running for office, contacting their elected officials, or taking up a sign in protest, they are all rocking the vote.

I don't post things because I believe that they are the absolute truth. I post them because I believe that they should be considered.
