New Anti-war movement finds it's groove!

On Saturday, December 16th 2006 people in Eugene, Oregon and elsewhere will be drumming for peace. Here's the idea: http://www.unitedforpeace.org/calendar.phd?calid=18376
Look for the Featured Events on the left side of the page, or search for Drums Across America for Peace.
Discover what grooves you can get going in your area!

The Peace Jukebox has a lot of great new protest songs lighting a candle in the dark tunnel of the Bush Dynasty era: http://peace-not-war.org/Jukebox/index.html

There's also a great little collection of first rate peace music, videos, books and arts at http://stopwar.org.uk/WarandMusic.htm

 

United for Peace has some technical problem at their site which doesn't allow one to link with a particular page on the site. But on the left side of the page you should find a link to Drums Across America as a Featured Event for 12/16.

 

Hey, feel free to mention or post links to all your favorite protest tunes on this thread! I would be very interested to find some more protest tunese that are communicating with people these days.

 

Nice : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_protest_songs

 

"Swimming to the Other Side" is one of my favorites.

And I did a Flash thing for it since I liked it so well.

That flash animation of "Swimming to the Other Side" is a cool creative effort. But you could do better with better animation software--you need fractals to do that in a really trippy organic way!

 

An Italian dude got up an enormous amazing site of anti-war songs from around the world. Unfortunately, I can't make the complex link to his linux website work from Hip Forums. But you can easily find it by doing a Google search for Antiwar Songs (AWS) . That search will pull the site you want at the top of the list. You should have no problem following the link from Google to this awesome site of antiwar songs from around the Earth--and we need to make a world wide movement to make this work as well as it did in the 60's and 70's!

 

Sounds really cool. There's a protest that I think United for Peace was hosting on January 27th in DC, which is near my area. Drumming for Peace sounds sweet though.
