I can't believe that there are still people who haven't seen this amazing clip from Peter Gabriel's Amnesty '86 performance. At the height of apartheid in South Africa, I remember getting shivers when I first saw this and still do today. If you're still in high school and only know Peter Gabriel as that old guy who wrote the song from Wall-E, do some searching and some listening - it's worth it.

Gil Scott-Heron so embodied everything I love about soul. "Home is Where the Hatred Is" is one of his earlier songs from 1971. The cover of this song by Esther Williams, which is maybe more famous, is great as well. He's gone through some serious crap in his life, especially over the past 15 years or so, but the albums he put out during the 70s and early 80s really captured the feel of urban disquiet in city life. Hope you dig it as much as I do, and check out more of his stuff.

This week's featured artist on the DyscultureD podcast is Woodhands. The Canadian electronica group is touring all over the world. This video, "I Wasn't Made for Fighting" showcases how bands like Woodhands and Holy Fuck are bringing electronic music from Canada to the world.

"Feather Fur and Fin" by Danny Michel (this week's track on the www.dyscultured.com podcast). Great Canadian artist that I first saw with The Rhinos 16 years ago in Kitchener, Ontario.
