Angelique Kidjo is an old favorite of mine. Going all the way back to her Batonga video. Here’s her cover of Voodoo Chile. Be sure to check out more of her work.

Like many a Christmas carol, the Twelve Days of Christmas is probably one you’ve gotten memorized.
It’s a fun song, but it’s all about getting. How about a giving song instead? So, here’s one I wrote. For those waging war on Christmas, I suppose one could substitute “giving” for “Christmas.”
On the first day of Christmas my true love taught to me: the true reason for the season.
On the second day of Christmas my true love gave to me: two mistletoe kisses.
On the third day of Christmas my true love showed to me: three giving trees.
On the fourth day of Christmas my true love handed me: four coins for the pot.
On the fifth day of Christmas my true love brought with me: five toys for tots.
On the sixth day of Christmas my true love got for those in need: six winter coats.
On the seventh day of Christmas my true love went with me: serving homeless meals.
On the eighth day of Christmas my love gave for my family: eight village goats.
On the ninth day of Christmas my true love babysat with me: nine nieces napping.
On the tenth day of Christmas my true love watched for me: ten nephews playing.
On the eleventh day of Christmas we made deliveries: eleven Meals on Wheels.
On the twelfth day of Christmas my true love brought to me: twelve thankful cards.
Yeah, I like ’em young…
You may have heard of The Doubleclicks, a pair of Sisters from Portland OR, known for their nerd-folk music. But they’ve been doing some social and feminist tunes, too.
Look for the celebs. How many can you name?
So, Tumblr want’s to be rid of “adult content” but can’t do anything about hate speech or cyberbullying.
I’ve deleted my account. I never really used it anyway.
