Andy Northrup - Making My Way

“Making My Way” took some time, but the long awaited CD from celebrated veteran singer/songwriter Andy Northrup. “Making My Way” contains some of the best tunes this prolific, award winning songwriter has ever penned. With a Folk-Rock vibe and a bit of Americana/Roots, this offering reflects the imagery of a hard-lived, well seasoned life. Andy has never been afraid to say what needs to be said, and this is evident from the poignant, honest, razor edged lyrics. Though all of the songs are top notch, some are sure to become classics including the well chosen title cut “Making My Way”, “I’ve Been Busy”, “Old With You” and the unforgettably moving “Stay If You Want To”.

Michael Hensley - Heart Mechanical

Michael Hensley returns with a 7-track EP, "Heart Mechanical," his first new release since 2008. Thematically, the album follows in the footsteps of its predecessors, juxtaposing emotion and reason, the human and the machine. The album’s heart beats hardest through its second track, "We’re Here to Recruit Your Kids," an aggressive response to anti-gay bigotry. Hensley is reacting to the farcical notion that gay people are exerting their sexual influence on children. “We’re here to recruit your kids to be whoever it is they want to be,” he decries. The song is a call-to-action and with its ferocious beats and swirling synths it is an anthem we can truly dance to. Other standouts include "Life is a Disco," which encourages listeners to embrace life set against a drum 'n' bass rhythm and vocal harmonies, while "Inside" is a dark techno love song that merges man and machine.

For every EP sold, Hensley is personally donating $1 to the Trevor Project, which provides crisis intervention and suicide prevention services to LGBTQ youth.

Ani DiFranco - ¿Which Side Are You On?


¿Which Side Are You On? marks DiFranco's first studio album in more than three years. The collection features 11 new songs alongside a radically reworked rendition of the classic title song, famously popularized by the one and only Pete Seeger nearly five decades ago, but no less relevant today.
The album represents an extraordinary snapshot of DiFranco's own life as well her sense of where the country stands at this particular moment in time.

The Young Professionals (TYP) - Young Professionals

How do you see your city? Fascinating, cosmopolitan and exciting - or disturbing and depressing? However you feel about the place you call home, there's no denying the energy and creativity of the people - we've seen the emergence of a new generation of talented artists, determined to break from the stereotypes and misconceptions of the past.

In our new video 'The Young Professionals', we've tried to capture the spirit and diversity of the people who live here -- people who 'work to live' rather than 'live to work'. Tel Aviv is urban living at its best, a place to meet and socialize, and use new media to interact and communicate. It's a city where individualism is celebrated -- quirky and different is always welcome, with the freedom to go wherever you want, whenever you want.

"8": A Play about the Fight for Marriage Equality

In case you missed "8" you can see it for free on YouTube.

Featuring an all-star cast including George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Martin Sheen, Jamie Lee Curtis, Jane Lynch, Kevin Bacon and others, "8" is a play written by Academy Award winning screenwriter Dustin Lance Black and directed by acclaimed actor and director Rob Reiner.

It is a powerful account of the case filed by the American Federation for Equal Rights (AFER ) in the U.S. District Court in 2010 to overturn Proposition 8 [LINK], a constitutional amendment that eliminated the rights of same-sex couples to marry in the state of California. Framed around the trial's historic closing arguments in June 2010, 8 provides an intimate look what unfolded when the issue of same-sex marriage was on trial.
