Name: No Such Thing As Waste (Mr Moon Remix) by Formidable Vegetable in party in the park
Duration: 3 min 9 s
Description: A next-level experiment in ecological electroswing, Radish Beets is a creative collaboration of re-wonkified tracks from Formidable Vegetable Sound System's debut album, Permaculture: A Rhymer's Manual remixed by some of the world's finest electronic producers.

What I feel for this song goes far beyond the bounds of the mere word "love". This is a song I feel in the marrow of my thin geriatric bones. I had this thought... perhaps you can do something with it... Don't put me in a casket when I die; don't toast me at some high degree; take me to an orchard... please let me feed a tree.

The Edge (Spoonbill Remix)

Possibly the first ever band to promote the joys of gardening, food and sustainability through dance music, West Australian ‘ecological edutainers’, Formidable Vegetable Sound System bring you their latest single, ‘You Are What You Eat’- an infectiously bouncy electroswing track all about... Dirt!

Featuring Michael Barker (ex John Butler Trio/Black Sorrows) on drums, Mal Webb on horns, Kylie Morrigan on strings, Charlie Mgee on ukulele & vocals and produced by award-winning Melbourne electronic producer, Spoonbill, 'You Are What You Eat' explores the never-ending connectedness of the food-chain in the band's unique style of 'biodynamic-organic ukulele-electroswing'.

Soon after the track was released, it was picked up and shared by none other than the UN, who used it to celebrate the closing of the 2015 International Year of Soils - the kind of thing that could only happen to this one-of-a-kind band that have toured the world for three years performing brass-soaked ukulele electroswing songs about plants, peak-oil and permaculture.

Westwood is proud to present the official ‘We’re All Desi REMIXED' album. Following up Delhi 2 Dublin's smash 2015 studio album, Westwood has compiled a 14-track remix release from an international cast of acclaimed producers. Each called upon to reinterpret D2D’s sound in their own unique style, the result is an remix album as varied as the sound of Delhi 2 Dublin itself. A celebration of East and West. A battle call for a quickening world - more truth, more smiles…and a lot more bass.

If you listen you will hear,
from the inner drum to the heart of the matter,
press your ear to the ground, hear the river’s lonesome sound.

If you listen you will know,
why the lucky ones sing to the valley below, 
all the secrets of the hollows are in the echoes.

I want to sing an old time tune, I want to sing ’til the hills are singing too.
though my body’s not from this place,
though I’ve had lord, but a taste, I long for the blue ridge.

Blue Ridge

Singing makes it better when you've got a broken heart.

The Weight of Words (Ambient Mix)

Permaculture principle 6: Produce no Waste - In nature, there is no such thing as waste, only stuff in the wrong place! Heed this mantra and become a master of nutrient cycling!

-----

"Charlie is spearheading a new and exciting form of musical activism. He is becoming one of the most important voices in a global cultural movement 
that began right here in Australia." 
- Harry Angus, The Cat Empire 

Permaculture: A Rhymer’s Manual from Western Australia's Formidable Vegetable is the first of its kind. An album of ethical, ecological edu-tainment designed to spread the word of sustainability without making you want to tie-dye your shirt or go out and buy a djembe.
Permaculture is basically a way to get ourselves out of habits of self-destruction and into one of abundance and prosperity.
After recognising a desperate need for people to stop talking about sustainability and start getting off their asses, WA permaculture troubadour Charlie Mgee grabbed his ukulele and came up with 12 songs covering each of the principles of permaculture from David Holmgren’s book, Permaculture: Principles and Pathways Beyond Sustainability. 

With an all-star cast of Australian musicians including Mal Webb, Alex Burkoy (Tinpan Orange/Juila Stone), Michael Boase (Nicky Bomba’s Bustamento), Loren, Freya Hanly, prodigious 19-year old Harry Jakamarra from Broome on banjo and WA’s own 10 piece live electro-swing band Ensemble Formidable, the album is filled to the brim with tracks of truly grooveworthy proportions with styles ranging from ‘energy-descent electro-swing’ and ‘climate-change reggae’ to ‘peak-oil polka’.

In just three short months, Charlie Mgee has already busted out live shows of permaculture songs at internationally acclaimed festivals including Woodford Folk Festival (QLD), Eclipse 2012 (Cairns), Folk, Rhythm & Life and Rainbow Serpent (VIC) and has shared the stage with class-acts such as Nicky Bomba’s Butamento, Spoonbill and Fat Freddy’s Drop.

After a massive turnout to a follow-up permaculture workshop resulting from an especially cranking gig at Eclipse 2012 Festival, Charlie reflects on his ultimate goal for the project: 

“Right now, music is one of the most effective tools we have to communicate ideas on a mass scale and I think I’m really just starting to recognize the power that that can have with regards to introducing people to ideas on how to live more sustainably. I’ve had people that I wouldn’t have thought would be into sustainability in a million years come up to me going: “Man, this sounds awesome! I’m gonna check out this permaculture stuff!” It’s really reaffirming for what I’ve set out to do.”

With included info on the permaculture principles covered as well as chord charts and lyrics to learn the songs on ukulele, the album has been designed to achieve everything from permaculture teaching resource to ukulele lesson to general morning dance routine.

In a world gone hectic, now really is the time to start growing abundance everywhere, starting at the front door. While we’re at it, you might as well Lettuce Turnip the Beet!  (...that would be Rad-ish.)

No Such Thing as Waste

RE-EDITED AND REMIXED FOR 2021: A very loose mix of Celtic and Scottish tunes remixed taken from my whiskey-spiked set (for the win: Tullamore Dew; 10-Year-Old Reserve) with Delhi to Dublin on St Patrick's Day - cheeky pipes and fiddles...kinda like an "Irish Spring" soap commercial meets house LOL!  What the hell... Don't take it too seriously, and chase it down with jeroboam of Guinness!
