Yes, that is sarcasm. Digital music fans have actually been bitching for years about how Sony’s recent digital audio players sometimes supported only the company’s proprietary format (short for Adaptive Transform Acoustic Coding, if you must know), especially since just about the only place you find it is at Sony’s online music store www.connect.com.
The CD, called “Songs of Home,” features artists such as Greg Brown, Lucy Kaplansky and Prudence Johnson. The CD was unveiled at the annual October-fest hosted by St. Bernard’s Church and School in St. Paul. The festival featured an appearance by Johnson, under bank sponsorship. Proceeds from the concert and CD sales are being donated to Urban Homeworks, a non-profit agency dedicated to renovating homes for low-income families. One thousand CDs were produced.

University Bank has been active in affordable housing initiatives since 2000 when it started its Houses to Homes program. The bank provides up to 100 percent financing to rehabilitate older houses in the Twin Cities. Through the program, more than 1,200 homes have been renovated in the past six years. David Reiling, CEO of Sunrise Community Banks, University Bank’s parent company, said the 12 songs on the Songs of Home CD have been specially selected to refleet the bank’s commitment to affordable housing.
“We surveyed our customers to see which community development issues they felt were crucial, and affordable housing topped the list,” Reiling said. “The need for safe, secure homes has been even greater than we had realized when Houses to Homes was born. Creative projects like Songs of Home and partnerships with organizations like Urban Homeworks give us another avenue to make a difference in our community.”
Many people discount the Dave Matthews Band as a bunch of patchouli-sniffing hippies, when in reality it’s a band of five brilliant musicians who put on a live show with musical chemistry few bands can rival. Nothing completes a summer like a quick run to the beer tent and the hot dog stand, enjoying the feel and smell of a freshly cut amphitheater lawn while listening to the Dave Matthews Band with your friends.

Is there anyone who embodies the word cool more than Dave Grohl? His drumming on the Nirvana records ushered him in as the closest Thing to John Bonham since the Zeppelin drummer’s passing. His lyrics can get 20,000 people angrily chanting or teary-eyed with just one pluck of a guitar string. More important, Dave Grohl, living rock-n-roll legend, goes about his life like any self-respecting college senior does= a few beers and some rock music in the afternoon and then three screenings in a row of Napoleon Dynamite. The band’s fifth album is a double-disc set–one rock and one acoustic–that will make your flippin’ neck hair stand at attention. Sweet!

OK, I’m white. OK, I’m very white. I’m so white, they use my stomach to white-balance the studio cameras. That said, whenever 50 comes by TRL, he goes out of his way to stop and ask me how I’m doing and what I’m working on. This summer, you won’t find a better club-anthem CD. I’m not recommending this CD because he’s a nice guy; I’m recommending it because it will make you look cool. Trust me.
Stim, Richard.
In addition to the student group, sighted music and vision teachers are invited to attend. Music education students are also welcome to serve as interns. They will receive exposure and experience helping in the classrooms and the dorm, and can expect some coaching from our staff and an introduction to braille music transcription software from Dancing Dots Braille Music Technology. These interns, plus volunteers and staff from both the National Resource Center and Overbrook school for the Blind, will help to assure support for all involved.
All student application materials must be received by May 19, 2007. Intern applications must be received by May 9, 2007.
