The Hear And Now

Episode 34.1 of The Hear And Now with @CultureOmbuds had so much good stuff, we had to make it two parts.  Listen here to the Part 1, recapping 2011 as best we can.

What better way to start a stroll down memory lane than looking back through your music collection.  The hidden gems, covered in dust, are too priceless.  We share a few laughs over some of the stuff from our respective pasts, and talk about what is to come - at least on this podcast.  To get things started, listen to ...

Poliça with "Wandering Star." (9:00) This Minneapolis band has a CD release show on February 14, 2012 at First Avenue.  Hope you have tickets already because it is really, really sold out.

What will 2011 be remembered for?  Time named The Protester person of the year.  After the Arab Spring, the Occupy movement and domestic labor driven political unrest, this choice seems validated.  This timeline (Guardian) was really helpful and interesting in putting an order to the uprisings in Tunisia, Egypt, Libya and Syria.  Fast Company has an amazing aggregation of 2011 in lists.  If you cataloged the year, it was probably included somewhere in this list.  For the rest of the things we found interesting you'll have to listen.

Toots & the Maytals song "Pressure Drop" made Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.  Listen to it, and then come back and check out part 2.
