For those of you here in Champaign-Urbana, Santa will be making their triumphant return from abroad to release their new CD, My Bones , on March 7th at 10pm at Canopy Club.  Tickets are cheap ($5 in advance) and well worth your money.

And for those of you that can’t make it to the show, I’m delighted to be able to present one of the tracks I’ve got stuck in my head off of My Bones, enjoy.

MP3: Santa - Hashish

Just a little info on a show I highly urge you to go to. It’s a carbon neutral “eco-concert” being sponsored by a University class, and I believe any proceeds go to paying for the bands and charity, both good causes. There will be booths set up by green-minded organizations around the front room of Canopy Club for informational purposes. The show is November 1st at The Canopy Club in Urbana, IL, show starts at 8pm, and tickets are $5 advance/$7 door.

The lineup features:

Treologic (site) (mp3: Clap Clap)

Organic Flow (site)

Tall Tale (site)

Alleyway Sex (site)

Collusion

Forbidden Parallel (site)

The Eureka Sky (site)

More info on this show to come, email kanejamison@burningoak.com with “Project Chambanda” in the header if you would like advance tickets, and I will get you some.

Heads up for some new videos at NotMTV.tv.  Highlights from Summer Camp 2005 include Keller Williams, Oteil and the Peacemakers, Groovatron, Umphrey’s McGee, Hot Buttered Rum String Band, RAQ, moe., Michael Franti and Spearhead, and Particle.  Click on the picture to head straight there.

A couple weeks ago FADER dedicated their current issue to Jerry Garcia, and on top of that, decided to distribute the .pdf of it for free.  Though the Grateful Dead will give any band a run for a spot in my all time top 5, I’ve rarely posted on them here at Burning Oak and the last two posts plus this one make up the first three Grateful Dead posts at the site.  Sad, eh?  Oh well, I’ll make up for it with a Garcia podcast, link, a free Garcia magazine, and if you stay tuned in the next week or so, a Garcia poster/shirt giveaway compliments of Burning Oak and FADER magazine.  Good stuff, no?
