Ahoy folks, just wanted to clue people into a group that many probably haven't heard of before. Check out Cloud Cult's new album (this is their 3rd) called "They Live on the Sun." It's a strange CD, some songs are nutty and electronic, and some are absolutely beautiful acoustic pieces. Craig Minowa (lead guy) wrote the album as homage to his 2yr old son that passed away, and sometimes samples his son's voice. Listen to the album in that context, and it can be a really emotional ride.
As an added plus, Craig is very devoted to environmental causes, and all proceeds for the album go to a variety of environmental charities. The label site is Earthology
and you can always catch me spinning them on my radio show at WUSM, Collge Radio for South Mississippi
