The Beach Chromers - Squeaky Beach Stomp                                    Squeaky Beach Stomp The Beach Chromers perform the Squeaky Beach Stomp in their backyard in Fitzroy, dreaming of being down on Squeaky Beach in Wilson Prom, running up and down Squeaky Beach like that blond beach wombat we caught on camera while down there. The song is off their new album The Beach Chromers, which is now available at www.bigozmusic.com.au Watch out you might see this video on "rage" any time soon. Miso - Trip Hop and Dub                                    Human Spaces Video Clip The Video features footage from the G8 protest in Gleneagles, Scotland, the crumbling World Trade Center in New York, Aztecs dancing at Plaza Mayor in Mexico City, child labour and beggars in Varanasi and Delhi, India, and a soldier in Kashmir. These visual references to poverty, greed, Abu Ghraib, terrorism, and oppression are not so much a political statement but rather a symbolic reference to the age-old struggle against power and control but also their impermanence, whether we are the oppressor or resistor, Aztec or American, our civilizations will crumble, but for as long as we live we share these human spaces and might as well make them pleasant and useful.
