Rocking Out Against Voldemedia
Sometimes you can't just sit around and take an insult without screaming back. I'm sure you all know the feeling. Nobody is going to just sit around and let themselves get bullied into doing something they don't want to do, right?
I'm sure just about everyone who's willing to come to an independent non-profit music blog, or roam the internet for good music that's under the radar, knows about the actions the government is taking to regulate the ability of the media to function on its own. This isn't a political blog, but the fact is, the government is trying to regulate what conglomerates can release music, and which have the rights to own music. This is essentially putting all the little people down by benefiting those who are already in a higher power.
But there are some out there willing to stand up against this. In the imminence of a new bill that will be brought up in Congress on the 17th, The HP Alliance is releasing Rocking Out Against Voldemedia, a compilation CD with tons of wizard rock artists singing about not letting The Man (be it the Ministry of Magic, the US of A, or ol' Voldy himself) get them down. Filled with political activist anthems from the wizarding world, this compilation seeks to get listeners involved and stop this bill from being passed... while giving away music.
Yes, I did say giving. Yes, that does mean that the entire Rock Out Against Voldemort album is completely free! No strings attached. Just download the entire album from their site. It's certainly not mandatory, but they sincerely would like you to sign their petition, and maybe post up with the 2500+ people who have already signed. You can bet I have. It would be a great help to the cause. Free music, political activism; you just can't go wrong.
Stop Voldemedia! Don't be pushed around! Go here to find out more about the bill being passed, and to download Rocking Out Against Voldemedia. Don't want the free album of wizard rock? Why don't you just wander over here, and sign the bill against big media anyway? You don't have to listen to the music to be involved! Finally, to find out more about the HP Alliance, and how they're helping to change the world via Harry Potter and the Power Of Love, go to their website. Don't become a zombie/Inferi! Get out and be heard.
