A New Compilation Featuring 16 Michigan Bands, Proceeds Go Towards Combating Climate Change.
350 parts per million is what many scientists, climate experts, and progressive national governments are now saying is the safe upper limit for CO2 in our atmosphere.

Unless we are able to rapidly return to 350 ppm this century, we risk reaching tipping points and irreversible impacts such as the melting of the Greenland ice sheet and major methane releases from increased permafrost melt.
On October 24th 2009, people around the world and all throughout Michigan will unite to demand change.

The Strutt, and the I.D.E.A. Association will be hosting a panel discussion on the subject of sustainable development for Kalamazoo. After the event, we will be hosting regular public forums to help facilitate a local sustainable development project. Proceeds from the CD sales will go toward design and implementation.
The success of the 350 movement depends on you! Stay involved! Don't remain silent!

Easy Wind supplementary notes
By Jesse Jarnow

Eric Schwartz hosts KNON’s Lone Star Dead, the longest-running Grateful Dead radio show on the radio. He is also a collector of almost all things Grateful Dead. His collection of incredibly rare vinyl, yearbooks, and other Dead artifacts is viewable here.

Andy Zax has done some fantastic archival work researching Warner Brothers’ radio advertising spots in the late ‘60s and early ‘70s, which he presented at the 2010 Pop Conference, which can be heard here. The spots were most often written by Stan Cornwyn and voiced by David Ossman of the Firesign Theatre, the radio surrealists that influenced the Bozos and Bolos of Europe ‘72. 

Jon McIntire was the Grateful Dead manager responsible for putting Robert Hunter on the band’s payroll in the spring of 1970, just as they were finishing up Workingman’s Dead, He passed away in 2012. Dennis McNally wrote a touching memorial and Robert Hunter himself contributed a poem, both readable here.
