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.
blessings and greetings to Planetary from ganja yaaaaard. check out my new tune concrete and steel on the prisonbreak riddim megamix and leave a comment :-) happy holiday season for you and yours
The MEANING OF LIFE according to Anthony Marr. His best of 2009 to you.
11 minute version http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eTkbLeabfRA
When Anthony Marr was 33, he went camping solo in Africa for two months. What began as an escape from life became a journey of deep discovery. He returned to Canada with a new model of the Universe he calls the Omniscientific Cosmology, which one scholar has coined the “Holy Grail of scientific philosophy.” “Anthony Marr’s work is formidable,” UC Berkeley anthropology professor Tim White. “A beautiful synthesis,” Stanford astrophysicist Dr. Vahe Petrosian. “An extraordinary intellectual undertaking,” UC Berkeley paleontologist Dr. Carole Hickman. “Extremely intriguing and provocative,” Stanford philosophy professor John Dupre. “An immensely logical construct… with great potential for lessening the conflicts in a troubled world,” Stanford geology professor W.R. Evitt. “A profound contribution… implications of great depth and breadth for the future course of human actions… too important to ignore,” Dr. William H. Kimbel, President, Institute of Human Origins, Berkeley. “There is simply no modern parallel for his achievement,” UBC physical anthropology professor Braxton Alfred. See for yourself what this fuzz is all about!

PS: This album would make a great stocking stuffer ;)
If solo, it'd be by car: http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x70/AnthonyMarr/DSC09716-2.jpg
If accompanied (anyone with a bike and an adventurous spirit out there?), it'd be by motorcycle: http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x70/AnthonyMarr/DSC013525070.jpg
Either way, it will be for the animals, our children and the planet. Here is the itinerary. Could anyone organize an event and/or make a donation and/or offer Anthony a place to stay?

Of course that mini-Harley (not mine really) barely sips gas, but even my Kawasaki Ninja ZZR, capable of 175 kph and 0-60 mph in 5.7 seconds, gives 80+ mpg hwy. This is about as green a personal vehicle as one can find capable of long distance travel, short of a full electric vehicle with a range of 250 miles per charge like the Tesla. But then, the Tesla costs $100,000, whereas the Ninja cost me barely $3000 with only 2,000 mi. on the odometer. And even if I had a full electric vehicle, as long as the electricity comes from coal, it's just like burning gas. By the way, the Ninja 250 is so popular with women it has the nickname of "Ninjette" (see www.Ninjette.org).
Regardless of gender, I strongly advise you to try out motorcycling as a means of transportation. Of course, the rider should be vegetarian if not vegan, to cut methane emissions from the animal industries. A vegan driving a Hummer emits less greenhouse gasses than a meat-eater riding a bicycle! Besides, short of flying, motorcycling is about as much fun as fun can get!

Urban deer massacre ("culling"), combined with unadulterated fun-killing (bow-hunting), is a national disgrace. Through my last 6 Compassion for Animals Road Expeditions (CARE-1 - CARE-6, 2003-2008, each covering 25-42 states over 3-7 months), I have worked with activists in no less than 25 states whose by-and-large pro-culling and pro-hunting officials discharge their "deer management" duties by means of bullets and arrows.
The current hottest battle in the "Deer War" is at the Shawnee Mission Park, Kansas City, which local activists have dubbed "Death Park". There were supposedly some 575 deer living in the 3.7 sq.mi. urban park. Local officials estimate the maximum deer population density to be 50 per sq.mi., which produces the maximum allowable total number of 185 in the park. Up to December 9, 313 deer had been culled by "Dr. Death" Anthony DeNicola. This yields a remaining population of about 260, about 75 higher than the limit of 185, and 75 is about what the Park Board has allocated to the bow-hunters, 15 of whom have been granted permits to do the dirty deed, with pleasure of course...

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...

£leTriKa sounds completely different from any Metal band you have ever heard. The Brazilian rhythms and the Portuguese language added to the songs makes its style unique, giving birth to a new kind of Metal. If you are really looking for something new about Metal, you should check £leTriKa out!
