Save the bees – petition

January 19th, 2011 Comments off

source: http://www.avaaz.org/en/save_the_bees/?fpbr

GLOBAL BEE EMERGENCY — ACT NOW!
Sign the petition
To US and EU decision-makers:

We call on you to immediately ban the use of neonicotinoid pesticides until and unless new independent scientific studies prove they are safe. The catastrophic demise of bee colonies could put our whole food chain in danger. If you act urgently with precaution now, we could save bees from extinction.

more than 977,000 peoples have signed the petition. Help us get to 1,250,000

Quietly, globally, billions of bees are dying, threatening our crops and food. But a global ban of one group of pesticides could save bees from extinction.

Four European countries have begun banning these poisons, and some bee populations are recovering. But chemical companies are lobbying hard to keep all killer pesticides on the market. A global outcry now for a ban in the US and EU, where debate is raging, could provoke a total ban and a ripple effect around the world.

Let’s build a giant global buzz calling for these dangerous chemicals to be outlawed in the US and EU until and unless they are proved to be safe. Sign the petition to save bees and our crops and send this to everyone.

Cargo – Via dell’Erta Canina 12/r (Firenze) 
h 23.00

Torna a Firenze Funky Gopher… aka King Bleso…rigorosamente in formato 45 giri… in compagnia degli Overknights!!

GOPHER D aka KING BLESO
Dietro King Bleso c’è Gopher Wastasi, ossia Dario Troso (1971). Conosciuto dai più semplicemente come Gopher, l’artista salentino ha mosso i suoi primi passi musicali sulla scena punk degli anni ’80. Negli anni ’90 è stato uno dei membri fondatori prima dell’Isola Posse All Stars, gruppo seminale del rap in italiano, poi dei Sangue Misto, il nome di culto per eccellenza dell’hip hop di queste parti. Di seguito, richiami di sangue (e dialetto) lo hanno condotto naturalmente nei Sud Sound System, di cui ha fatto parte tra il 1995 e il 1998. Negli ultimi anni inoltre ha collaborato a più riprese con la Fluid Video Crew tra l’altro firmando coi Brutopop la colonna sonora di Italian Sud-Est (2003), lungometraggio selezionato al 60° Festival di Arte Cinematografica di Venezia. Ma il nuovo capitolo di questo variegato iter artistico raccoglie l’eredità diretta del suo predecessore: King Bleso, dopo aver esordito nel 2008 con il dub-jazz di Echo Of Blue, si ripresenta infatti rilanciando appieno lo spirito funk di Unto Ke (altro alias di Gopher, usato dal 2004 al 2006) ma col valore aggiunto dei Voodoo Soul Unlimited, un combo di musicisti chiamati a raccolta per l’occasione.
Al Cargo King Bleso si presenta col suo set funk contaminato da interventi punk e surf rigorosamente vinilico a 45 giri!

OVERKNIGHTS

Overknights é un contenitore di dj’s, produttori, scratchers, mc’s ed un disegnatore con base a Firenze.
La mescolanza di stili e le affinitá di gusto contraddistinguono questo gruppo costituito da ben dieci persone provenienti dagli ambiti e generi piú disparati di formazione musicale, come l’hip hop, il punk, il jazz, la techno e l’elettronica in molte delle sue forme.
Il sound é necessariamente e volutamente eterogeneo in una ricerca sonora che si esprime nella valorizzazione sia delle produzioni individuali che del frutto delle diverse collaborazioni interne.
Il risultato è un misto tra hip hop, funk, skwee.

Tutte le produzioni sono ascoltabili e/o direttamente scaricabili da:
