Hey ToMe FromMe fans! Sozoz for no blog in a long time, but with worlds colliding and hearts breaking we haven’t had much time to get your feet shaking………. that is until NOW! Enjoy the pop friendly, heart warming, feel good song of the year (“If you only listen to one song this year make sure it is..”) Heart Feel Better. This one could easily sit in the catologue of Kylie Minogue, Gold Frapp or a disco version sung by Donna Summer. All the songs on this blog get posted here if you want to download them!
This film contains a soundtrack that ToMe FromMe did for our friend Anna Helme who works for Engage Media. The footage was taken as part of the Climate Camp Australia 2008 protests.
INDEPENDENT MEDIA AT CLIMATE CAMP AUSTRALIA 2008
by EngageMedia – last modified 2008-07-21 21:28
EngageMedia helped to coordinate an independent media centre for Climate Camp Australia 2008 (July 10 – 14) at the Octapod, a not for profit independent arts and new media organisation based in the heart of Newcastle. Around 20 video makers, photographers and bloggers used this space to create their own media coverage of the Climate Camp workshops, discussions and actions to build a community-based movement for real action on climate change. We were able to present our own stories as a counter-measure to the often simplistic and conflict-based accounts presented in the mainstream media. Climate Camp has been a rich and diverse exploration of positive action on climate change, and ways to build alliances by the many different communities who are stepping up their efforts to convince governments to take real action, and to take it now, before it is too late. The major focus of the camp was on coal exports, as Newcastle is the world’s largest coal port, and therefore one of Australia’s major contributions to greenhouse gas emissions. For more click here
Welcome everybody to the very first ToMe FromMe blog post! Today we have a super special treat- a live recording of ‘Round And Round’, the saddest most sombre of all TMFM songs, so grab the hankies (that is, not Mr Hankie-re Mikhaela’s poor vocal impressions heard at the end of the take) and enjoy.
Disclaimer- ‘Round And Round’ was recorded in a rehearsal studio with one mic. The proper recording will be available for free download very shortly.
