Planetary is formed by the trio of Martin Schaefer-Murray (guitar and
lead vocals) Bobby Schaefer-Murray (bass) and Michael Schaefer-Murray (guitar),
with their longtime friend Joe Hengstler on drums. The band is based in
Valparaiso, Ind., near Chicago, and has been paying dues in Midwest bars and at local
festivals for a decade, including an appearance at the 2005 Chicago Blues Fest.
The name of the band, and the shortened moniker by which their fans know
them – Planetary – exemplifies who they are and what they hope to accomplish.
They are a rock band, taking influence from a wide
range of musical styles and melding it into their own distinct vision of what music is
capable of, and how they can interpret and present it in a new way. Like most rock
bands worth their salt, Planetary got their start playing, and being influenced by, the
Blues. The band was born in 1999 in their mother's basement, where they spent
countless hours learning entire albums by Chicago Blues greats like Buddy Guy and
Son Seals. From there, over the course of the past 10 years, Planetary has held onto
those roots while expanding outward into various other corners of the musical
universe.
Their EP "Souler," released in 2007, marked a new era for the band. With the release, they began moving forward and staking claim to their musical identity...one that acknowledges and appreciates its
roots and influences, but is wholly unique to this time, this place and this group of musicians. The name of the EP is a statement of that identity. It speaks to
Planetary's consciousness on both a spiritual and global level. Listening to the
songs presented on "Souler" re-awakens the sensibilities of late-60s social
consciousness.
Their brand new album, "The Myth Of Progress", is their best record to date. The guitar artistry represents a synthesis of many influences, while clearly establishing a unique musical voice. This creative offering represents the coevolution of the band as they continue to experience postmodern cultural and societal change. An invitation is extended to the listener to participate in this new era of artistic expression and "Indie" musical production.
Legend has it that in the Snows of Kilimanjaro, the carcass of a plains leopard was found; no one knows what the leopard was up there to seek. But when I ascended the great mountain, I knew, for I was there to seek the very same thing.
At pain of extra weight, I packed a gun, not that there anything to hunt up on that altitude, nor was I a hunter in any sense of the word. And in an ice cave amidst the cravasses of the glacier, when the setting sun suffused my chosen tomb with a rosey glow, I shed my last tear on the shoulder of no one who cared, said my final farewell to the cruel and meaningless world, and pointed the gun at my head...

Anthony Marr will lead a FUNERAL MOTORCADE FOR THE DEER in Kansas City on Dec. 9, Wednesday, at the Shawnee Mission Park - "Death Park" - where 313 deer have been slaughtered by sharp shooters in November, and another 70-90 are slated to be killed by bow-hunters as of Dec. 9.
Bear in mind that the non-lethal wounding rate by arrow is close to 50%, meaning: to kill 90, they have to shoot 180. And this is in spite of the Immuno-Contraceptive (IC) technology for deer having already been approved for field implementation by both the FDA and the EPA, plus Anthony's own humane, effective and economical IC-delivery invention known as the Auto Deer Assembler (DAA).
Jason Miller, on left in the following video (Part 1 of 7), one of the hot activists and revolutionary thinkers of our time (www.ThomasPaynesCorner.org), will be the organizer and host of the event.

Join the greatest Anti-Hunting forum - 95,000 comments! Blast a hunter today! http://www.topix.com/forum/baltimore/TCH7UNUUJ3I2OJ6KO
On September 14, 2007, Wisconsin activst Amy Burns sent out a circular urging her readers to go to the Baltimore Sun to join in what is destined to be one of its hottest forums ever, a war of minds over the "sport" of hunting, with emphasis on bow-hunting. While her readers began pondering, comments from the pro-hunting side came in hard and fast. "America's most-hated Anti" Anthony Marr jumped in head first, and so did leading anti-huntresses Tierra and Mamasita. Amazingly, the battle is still raging as we speak, more than two years later in November 23, 2009! The total number of comments so far has exceeded 93,000, and growing. This is a phenomenon, and destined to be a classic, not to be missed if you care about animals at all.

Calcutta sounds like a fable in a song, but in reality, it is where John, my colleague and successor, was murdered. He was on the job for only three days when he got his throat slashed. As an undercover investigator targeting the illegal wildlife trade, especially in tiger parts, his real name was unknown, even to me, nor mine to him. We were just John and James to each other. All I know is that he was Chinese American, while his predecessor James - real name Anthony Marr - is Chinese Canadian, and how sincere he was in helping to save the Bengal tiger from being poached out of existence, while its habitat continues to dwindle due to human pressure.
It would have been me who got killed had I not been called to the Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve in Madhya Pradesh - the "Tiger State" - to investigate a dreadful wave of poaching which wiped out10 of their 40 tigers in 12 months. What John and I were after was the identities of the trading party/ies, the location/s of the loot, and the routes and means by which it was transported to its destination, usually China. Once these were uncovered, we would inform police, who would then go and make arrests and seizures. How we did it is confidential. Suffice to say that we were both posing as Chinese buyers...
