Live Earth Concerts
Looking at the concert pages
Generation Gap
m'boy: I want to watch Abingdon Boys School
me: huh who? I want to watch Yellow Magic Orchestra!
m'boy: huh who?
Cultural Gap
(Looking at the Sydney acts)
me: Whoo! Crowded House!
m'boy: Who are all these people? I've never heard of these bands!
Several acts on, from Sydney, Tokyo and Shanghai
Different groups in those cities:"Sing along now!"
*not much crowd reaction*
Crowded House's Neil Finn stops in middle of song, says: " I hear you all."
*He points mike to audience, band stops, silence on stage, swell of sound from audience continuing song*
Dialogue
me: I like that they (Abingdon Boys School) wear kilts over their tartan trousers.
m'boy: They only added that after they did a song for Folks Soul (game, story based in Ireland).
me: Tartan? I didn't know Radiohead met at Abingdon Boys School.
m'boy: (smugly) Now you know.
Nunatak (We like!)
About the band
"Nunatak is the British Antarctic Survey’s Rothera Research Station’s house band. The five person indie rock band is part of a science team investigating climate change and evolutional biology on the Antarctic Peninsula - a region where temperatures have risen by nearly 3°C during the last 50 years.
From April to October - the Antarctic winter - planes can’t fly in because of the cold - the frozen sea keeps ships out. Physically isolated from the rest of the world, the 22 wintering team share their talent and creativity with one another. But now Nunatak will play what must surely be the planet’s coolest gig."

Nunatak, the house band at a research station on the frozen continent, will play 'Live Earth.' Outside. In fingerless gloves.
