We want subtitles for this video in English.

It's of Jova Radevska, also known as Yova Radevska from Macedonia. What a sweet sound she has.

The Colorado based band, SHEL, is not just talented. This group of four sisters is very gifted. Having spent their earliest childhood years with their singer/songwriter/guitarist father, they themselves are now firmly in the artist's seat. The music of SHEL is a mixture of serious angelic pop vocals mixed with a blend of gypsy mountain classical rock and jazz. They just don't sound like anyone else to compare them to. Each arrangement is simply exquisite and unique. SHEL's music is pure bliss and synchronistic harmony that perhaps only sisters from the same womb could possibly achieve.

At present, MusicLoad.Com is proud to have the privilege of being able to offer up a free mp3 of a beautiful SHEL song entitled Nicolo. The song is a beautiful pop classical lullaby that defies further description. Just check it out!

One of the most cookin' local blues bands we've heard lately is a group of college chums who simply got together for some jams back in 2006 and are cookin' around town to this day.  At present, MusicLoad.Com is featuring one of their tracks entitled Runnin' Around as a free mp3 download.  Get on over to MusicLoad.Com while the track is still available.  If you like the Allman Brothers Band style jams and rock blues, you will not be disappointed with the download.

Congratulations to Gaby Moreno.  NBC just announced that an instrumental track she wrote two weeks ago will be featured as the main theme music to their new show entitled Parks & Recreation,  debuting April 9th on NBC at 8:30 PM.

Something of note about Gaby that MusicLoad has noticed is that Gaby likes to play at every opportunity, and as a result, has performed in places that other artists might feel too bitchen to play.  It's not doubt to us that her incremental successes that she has been achieving are due to her incredible work ethic and her wonderfully kind and genuinely humble attitude.  She is a true gem of a human being.

As aspiring recording artists ask MusicLoad for advice on how to get ahead and where the opportunities are, we look to artists like Gaby Moreno for inspiration.  She's not trying too hard and there has never been anything desperate about her.  She exudes a willingness to listen, rather than to talk.  Her vibe, along with that of her team, is that they are doing what they are meant to be doing and that they are not missing any steps along the way.  They are walking the walk, the long way, and enjoying every step.  And, of course, Gaby's music comes first and has that thing people know as "it".  All of the other good qualities might be meaningless without that.

Two different and free MP3 Downloads of Gaby are featured at MusicLoad.Com Connect direct with Gaby at MySpace.Com/GabyMoreno -  Enjoy!

Mandolin player/vocalist Eva Holbrook is a artist whose sound is so sweet, you might cry when you hear it. We have no idea who to compare it to. It's part lullaby, part gypsy mountain, part folk, part classical, part pop and many other things such as "it".

Enjoy!

Imagine

Imagine for a moment that somewhere in the middle of Texas there was a large foreign military base, say Chinese or Russian. Imagine that thousands of armed foreign troops were constantly patrolling American streets in military vehicles. Imagine they were here under the auspices of “keeping us safe” or “promoting democracy” or “protecting their strategic interests."

Imagine that they operated outside of US law, and that the Constitution did not apply to them. Imagine that every now and then they made mistakes or acted on bad information and accidentally killed or terrorized innocent Americans, including women and children, most of the time with little to no repercussions or consequences. Imagine that they set up check points on our soil and routinely searched and ransacked entire neighborhoods of homes. Imagine if Americans were fearful of these foreign troops, and overwhelmingly thought America would be better off without their presence.

Imagine if some Americans were so angry about them being in Texas that they actually joined together to fight them off, in defense of our soil and sovereignty, because leadership in government refused or were unable to do so. Imagine that those Americans were labeled terrorists or insurgents for their defensive actions, and routinely killed, or captured and tortured by the foreign troops on our land. Imagine that the occupiers’ attitude was that if they just killed enough Americans, the resistance would stop, but instead, for every American killed, ten more would take up arms against them, resulting in perpetual bloodshed. Imagine if most of the citizens of the foreign land also wanted these troops to return home. Imagine if they elected a leader who promised to bring them home and put an end to this horror.

Imagine if that leader changed his mind once he took office.

The reality is that our military presence on foreign soil is as offensive to the people that live there as armed Chinese troops would be if they were stationed in Texas. We would not stand for it here, but we have had a globe straddling empire and a very intrusive foreign policy for decades that incites a lot of hatred and resentment towards us.

According to our own CIA, our meddling in the Middle East was the prime motivation for the horrific attacks on 9/11. But instead of re-evaluating our foreign policy, we have simply escalated it. We had a right to go after those responsible for 9/11, to be sure, but why do so many Americans feel as if we have a right to a military presence in some 160 countries when we wouldn’t stand for even one foreign base on our soil, for any reason? These are not embassies, mind you, these are military installations. The new administration is not materially changing anything about this. Shuffling troops around and playing with semantics does not accomplish the goals of the American people, who simply want our men and women to come home. 50,000 troops left behind in Iraq is not conducive to peace any more than 50,000 Russian soldiers would be in the United States.

Shutting down military bases and ceasing to deal with other nations with threats and violence is not isolationism. It is the opposite. Opening ourselves up to friendship, honest trade and diplomacy is the foreign policy of peace and prosperity. It is the only foreign policy that will not bankrupt us in short order, as our current actions most definitely will. I share the disappointment of the American people in the foreign policy rhetoric coming from the administration. The sad thing is, our foreign policy WILL change eventually, as Rome’s did, when all budgetary and monetary tricks to fund it are exhausted.
