I've mentioned before how Coldplay was the first band to set a goal of cutting their tour's carbon footprint by 50%. According to their latest update, they've cut their emissions by 59% in the last two years, compared to their previous tour, through reducing air travel and even using a power-generating dancefloor: similar to that of a concert venue I reported on a few months ago in Glasgow, Scotland, that’s heated and cooled using the stored body heat of concertgoers.

It’s time for an update, though, because there are a lot more efforts afoot to curb the emissions from the music industry and call for climate action at a broader level. This week, the whole newsletter focuses on the music industry - the good news, the not-so-good news, and my top inspiration.

Have you heard about Bonkwave and Not Bonkwave music? It is a music movement and community that defies simple "genre" restrictions or any strict definitions. A lot of fediverse based musicians are involved.

The first disc of the 3rd compilation album is premiering on 25th october 20 UTC on Radio Free Fedi. You are cordially invited to hang out, listen and have fun. venue: https://party.radiofreefedi.net

Chance McCoy on fiddle, Adam Hurt banjo. Rockin version of this tune!

Independent album released in 2010 by iamdavidcook then re-released in in 2012 under David Wazeter. Not on spotify or amazon (though they are, listed— only seeing a couple songs on youtube and they’re live. Former lead singer of My Favorite Highway. Longshot, but I would appreciate any leads!

Maybe a bit too mellow at times? Somewhat self-indulgent with all the chord changes? But unavoidably good. Really good.

Some of the rhymes are a bit facile. There's a criticism for you.

"The reggae-heavy track ‘São Paulo Motoboy’ is dedicated to the motorbike couriers in the Brazilian metropolis, who race through the dense traffic like invisible superheroes every day under precarious working conditions. Musically, the song expresses the hectic, chaotic atmosphere of the city: driving rhythms and a raw sound reflect the restlessness and stress of urban life." (transl.)

"Der Reggae-lastige Track „São Paulo Motoboy“ ist den Motorradkurieren in der brasilianischen Metropole gewidmet, die unter prekären Arbeitsbedingungen tagtäglich wie unsichtbare Superhelden durch den dichten Verkehr sausen. Musikalisch bringt der Song die hektische, chaotische Atmosphäre der Stadt zum Ausdruck: treibende Rhythmen und ein roher Sound spiegeln die Rastlosigkeit, den Stress des urbanen Lebens wider."

Lyrics

Motokero chegar Antes da chuva cair Motokero entregar E fugir no ar Disparado Disparado

Avenida Marginal, motoboy na pista Jogando o destino Calor assassino e veloz
Em cada curva um amor tecedor A vida no retrovisor, não fica parado Formiga em ação Minha moto é um avião São Paulo afogado Tráfego danado Fluxo quebrado Minha moto é um avião

Motokero chegar Antes da chuva cair Motokero entregar E fugir no ar Disparado

Asfalto molhado, duro, danado Bem olhar de lado Joelho ralado Minha moto é um avião Surfando o Minhocão Quebra mole, vai pra o céu Para-choque vai pra o chão

Motokero chegar Antes da chuva cair Motokero entregar E fugir no ar Disparado Disparado

Tanta gente na parada Tanta gente acidentada Motoboy caiu no chão Caiu na fumaça Caiu e levantou O joelho que dói Quebrado o farol Tanta adrenalina Cheiro gasolina Sucata voadora Minha moto é um avião Quebra mole, vai pra o céu Para-choque vai pra o chão

Motokero chegar Antes da chuva cair Motokero entregar E fugir no ar Disparado

Motokero chegar Disparado Antes da chuva cair Disparado Motokero entregar Disparado E fugir no ar

Motokero chegar

On first listen I thought it was OK.

Then I slept.

Now I can't stop listening. What a banger. I think he's got another big hit here.
