Kia Ora Songfactors! I'm thinking you may have heard about the earthquake in Christchurch, New Zealand last week. The damage is really bad with 155 people dead, 200+ still missing and thousands needing help with basic things like a roof over their heads, clean water,sanitation and food. Then there's the damage to the city, the costs of repairs are in the billions so Christchurch really needs any help they can get. One way of helping which might have you Songfactors interested is through Music website, Music Hype. New Zealand artists have donated songs to the cause and for a minimum $5 donation through paypal people such as yourselves can download 6 hours of New Zealand music. All proceeds go to Red Cross NZ. With so many artists donating their music, the songs are being updated frequently so I can't exactly guarantee what you'll be listening to, but it'll be a chance to give kiwi music a go AND help out people in need. For more information you can check out the Music Hype website: http://musichype.com/songs-for-christchurch/ Ash

Ohhhhhh wow. I was a tadpole for the longest time. I think I got kind of attached to it. Peter Pan syndrome or something. I guess I'll just keep rocking the lobster for the next few posts while pondering this wonderful evolutionary chain where a starfish can turn into a dolphin.

A New Zealand band. Just listen Maybe Tomorrow- Goldenhorse Wake Up Brother- Goldenhorse Run Run Run- Goldenhorse

Heya, My flatmate is absolutely in love with 23 seconds of song which can be found in this Ron Brugal ad: I was wondering if anyone here knows whether this is part of a longer song, who it is by or where we can find more music of a similar style? Thanks! Ash

Yay! Glad you like them! I moved to Barcelona about a month ago now to teach English!

I thought some of you may like the Black Seeds- they are a seven (or sometimes more) piece group. Their sound is a mix of soul, funk, reggae and dub. Listen and make your own mind up about them: So True- The Black Seeds Cool Me Down- The Black Seeds Make a Move- The Black Seeds

Wow. You know, I don't visit this site too often, but when I do it's always really exciting when I see you've posted something new in this section, Tim. I don't know much about poetry, but this piece has a real bold honesty about it. You are very talented!
