From Rolling Stone
The bluesy Bonnie Raitt's activism predates almost any musician on the green circuit today, beginning most notably with her co-founding of Musicians United for Safe Energy as a response the nuclear incident on Three Mile Island in 1979. Along with Graham Nash, Jackson Browne and John Hall, MUSE hosted five "No Nukes" concerts at Madison Square Garden followed by a 200,000-strong rally at the Battery Party City Landfill in New York City. Twenty-eight years later, No Nukes was still working, with Raitt, Nash and Browne recording a video for Buffalo Springfield's anti-war anthem "For What It's Worth." In 2005 and 2006, Raitt's tours were greened with the help of Reverb, who helped to calculate and offset the carbon emissions. Raitt has been praised for her use of the most expensive B99 biofuel, featuring only one percent diesel, and has been vocal with her fans about moving toward clean energy, telling The New York Times in 2007, "A change is coming. Green power is the way out of this mess."

Got Lorde sniped. Oh well!
So I'm going to go a different way. He outright says he struggles to consider himself an environmentalist because of the industry he works in but it's hard to argue that he isn't one to some extent - his wife runs a foundation he helps support centered around local and environmental causes and he's contributed a lot in terms of exposure and money that way. I think within the industry he generally does a good job trying to mitigate his overall impact in material choices for his physical music - his CDs are usually cardboard digipaks, his vinyl will often come in either no wrap or in plastic sleeves that you really have no reason to throw out - he also tours fairly rarely and his schedules often try to limit too much excess travel. So today, let's play the 3 R's (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle)

Day20: EAR CANDY
Play something with immaculate production values.
Wilco - Yankee Hotel Foxtrot
Officially this was produced by Wilco but anyone who’s seen I Am Trying To Break Your Heart knows that credit is overly simplistic. It was more a result of a battle between Tweedy and Bennett (with some Jim O’Rourke mixed in for added spice). You can’t really argue with the chaos when the resulting album is pretty much perfect.

Crowded House - Woodface
The song Weather With You always reminds me of the environment, and Neil Finn had this to say about the song:
"Ultimately, the theme of the song is, of course, that you are creating your own weather, you are making your own environment, always."

Day 21: ICONIC IMAGERY
Play something with a famous album cover.
Sonic Youth - Goo
Goo is one of my favorite SY albums but at this point I would say that the album’s iconic, Raymond Pettibon’s sketched artwork is more renowned than the album itself.

So funny, I almost played this one but played Velvet Underground instead. You’re a version of me that didn’t actually leave Tacoma, aren’t you?

Midnight Oil - “Beds Are Burning”
Midnight Oil themselves are environmentalists and there’s a little bit of that in this song and the b-side “Gunbarrel Highway”.

The Beach Boys - Surf’s Up
Yeah “Don’t Go Near The Water” isn’t the Boys best effort from a songwriting standpoint but It an important message I suppose…and at least it’s not an entire song about proper feet maintenance (that tracks not until A3).

The first environmentalist that pops into my head is David Suzuki, who's been hosting CBC's The Nature of Things since 1979. I don't have any records by him, but I do have one with Damo Suzuki.

Various Artists ~ Greenpeace Breakthrough
Let me set the scene.... it's 1989 and it's the cold war times. As y'all know western music was not available readily at this time. In order to establish a Russian presence for Greenpeace (an environmental organization) a bunch of artists contributed to this....
U2songs.com describes it as :
"This compilation was put together by Greenpeace for funding Greenpeace campaigns and infrastructure. The name of the album was “Breakthrough” in Russia, where it was initially released in March of 1989. This was the first ever pop compilation of western artists released in the Soviet Union, and it reportedly sold 500,000 copies in Russia on the day of release alone. The proceeds from the album sales were used to provide the start-up investment to begin a Russian branch of Greenpeace. The artists involved all donated their tracks to the album. And each album contained a 16-page booklet designed to give an overview of the worlds environmental problems."
I don't have the booklet with mine, but the story behind it made me snatch it up and despite the origins of WHERE this came from I couldn't think of a better fit for today.
Songs (using Discogs):
A1 U2 – Pride (In the Name of Love)
A2 Belinda Carlisle – Heaven Is A Place On Earth
A3 Sting – Love Is The Seventh Wave
A4 Aswad – Set Them Free
A5 World Party – Ship Of Fools
A6 Bryan Ferry – Don't Stop The Dance
B1 Eurythmics – When Tomorrow Comes
B2 Pretenders – Middle Of The Road
B3 Greatful Dead – Throwing Stones
B4 INXS – This Time
B5 Thompson Twins – Lay Your Hands On Me
B6 Talking Heads – City Of Dreams
C1 Simple Minds = Waterfront
C2 Waterboys – The Whole Of The Moon
C3 R.E.M. – It's The End Of The World
C4 John Farnham – You're The Voice
C5 Bryan Adams - Somebody
C6 Basia – Miles Away
D1 Peter Gabriel – Red Rain
D2 Bruce Hornsby & The Range – Look Out Any Window
D3 Terence Trent D'Arby – Let's Go Forward
D4 Martin Stevenson & The Daintees – Wholly Humble Heart
D5 Sade – I Will Be Your Friend
D6 John Cougar Mellencamp – We Are The People
D7 Dire Straits - Why Worry
