Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros with Gulu Widows Choir-Home (Chris Holmes Voice Project mix)
File Download
From Chris Holmes: About a year ago, my friend Hunter had just come back from working at refugee camps in Uganda and Sudan. After a horrible 30 year long civil war, the countries and their populations had been devastated. Young males were forcibly indoctrinated into brutal militias, a bloody and gruesome war raged and the countries were torn apart.
While working at the refugee camps, Hunter came across a group of women in Gulu who had came up with a novel and beautiful idea. Since the civil war had subsided, few men had returned home from the militias.
The men felt that the atrocities of war had made them unforgivable and they could never return home again to face their families and neighbors. Instead of returning, they stayed in the bush and the women were left without their husbands, sons, brothers and fathers.
The women of Gulu came up with a beautiful solution to a difficult problem. In the past diplomats, foreign aid workers, and politicians had failed in bringing the men back home.
The women decided they would tell the men they had been forgiven and to come back home in song. They would sing and record songs and send them out to the bush for the men to hear.
It was such an astoundingly simple and beautiful idea. Where words, politics, and social policy had failed, songs could reach their hearts and help heal the wounds caused by years of horrific tragedy.
So Hunter worked with the Gulu women, and brought the idea to other camps. He taught them songs of forgiveness and redemption. They sang the songs and recorded them and a miracle started to happen. The men started to hear their voices and to come home.
Six months later, after tons of advice from Oxfam, the UN and other groups with experience in the region the Voice Project was born.
We had an opening party at the Roosevelt Pool, coordinated with the release of the Edward Sharpe record. Devendra Banhart, Ana Calderon and I djed, and Edward Sharpe played their new record.
On their amazing record they had a song that perfectly captured the message of the Voice Project, "Home".
So Alex and I did an edit of the track, passed it along to Hunter, who then passed it along to Nicole from the Voice Project in Gulu.
One month later we received a video of the Gulu Widows Choir (the women who had come up with the idea behind the Voice Project) singing Edward Sharpe. It was beautiful and brought tears to our eyes.
After a day or two in the studio, we were able to mix their voices in with the original studio recording and create a magical and truly special track. Half recorded in LA, half recorded at the refugee camp in Uganda. We have captured the message of the Voice Project in a song.
We offer it up to you as a free download, to spread the word of this universal message of forgiveness and healing. Send it to your friends and everyone you know and help us spread the word of the Voice Project.
Music can heal wounds that words, policy and governments cannot. Go to the Voice Project facebook page if you would like to join the cause.

Most importantly enjoy, this is just the beginning.

My Favorite Songs From 2009
Disclaimer: Here are my favorite songs for the year right now. Tomorrow it may be different.
Extended Pretentious Disclaimer: This list is subject to change over the coming years, months, days, and hours. I have a very hard time committing to any sort of 'best of' list & am particularly indecisive when it comes to my favorite subject - music. It is not that I am not opinionated (I AM!), but simply that as my moods shift, so do my soundtrack requirements. A song that is is my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE RIGHT NOW! may lose favor after several listens. Additionally, songs I am not mad about at first can grow on me. It often takes several years for a band to reach 'favorite' status. A hallowed spot in my record collection generally reserved only for David Bowie, Talking Heads, Leonard Cohen, Bjork, Jay-Z, The Smiths & several other musicians that have survived with me over the years. It's not the size of the body of work (I LOVE Neutral Milk Hotel), but the fact that I keep coming back to these artists again & again & again... Tastes are subjective and my shifts are particularly dramatic. Since I am prone to change my mind, 'best of' list are complicated ordeals. That being said, after several weeks of contemplation, I am confident that I've narrowed down the list to the songs that (although the order may change) will remain at the top of my favorites list for 2009.
My Favorite Songs From 2009
1. Born On A Day The Sun Didn't Rise
Black Moth Super Rainbow
Eating Us
The song was the soundtrack to my incredible summer. It gets the top spot for that reason alone.
2. My Girls
Animal Collective
Merriweather Post Pavilion
This song was the soundtrack to my winter. It was EVERYWHERE this year but I never seemed to get sick of it. I have about twelve remixes and am fairly sure that this will make almost every blogger top 10 list. Sometimes songs get popular simply because they are great or maybe we all believe the hype... ;)
animalcollective
3. Stillness Is The Move
Dirty Projectors
Bitte Orca
Another super popular band. Another hit. They may be sickeningly trendy, but the Dirty Projectors are fantastic. There collaboration with David Bryne for "Dark Was The Night" almost made this list along with several other songs from Bitte Orca.
4. Breaking The Ice
Jeremy Jay
Slow Dance
My favorite song off one off my favorite albums of 2009. Jeremy Jay definitely takes the prize for the most ipod play this year.
rcrdlbl.com/artists/Jeremy_Jay/music
5. Tonight
The Juan MacLean
The Future Will Come
I've had this album on rotation for what seems like forever. There are so many great tracks, but this is the one that I keep coming back to. I included it on my Space Disco For Lovers Mix and love how epic it is. The perfect end of the night song.
thejuanmaclean
6. Hellhole Ratrace
Girls
Hellhole Ratrace
"and i dont want to cry my whole life through, i want to do some laughing too. so come on, come on, come on, come on, laugh with me. and i dont want to die without shaking up a leg or two, yeah, i want to do some dancing too. so come on, come on, come on, come on, dance with me." .. 'Nuf said.
7. Hysteric
Yeah Yeah Yeahs
It's Blitz!
This song makes me feel like a teenager. I love how driving and emotional it is. It gets me every time. Period.
yeahyeahyeahs
8. New Theory

Beautiful.
WashedOutMp3
9. You're My Eyes (Disco Song) (Pilooski Remix)
Jarvis Cocker
Further Complications
One of my favorite lyricists pairs up with one of may favorite remixers. This song is perfect.
JarvisCocker
10. 1901
Phoenix
Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix
I've heard 1901 in a ton of commercials and on a bunch of TV shows. Nice work Phoenix. Collect those Benjamins (or Francs).
11. I Will Come Back
Holy Ghost!
Green Label Sound
After the success of 'Hold On' expectations have been high for Holy Ghost!. They produced a bunch of perfect remixes and really came through with IWCB. The Classixx remix is dope too.
12. Nadine (Memory Tapes Version)
Fool's Gold
Fool's Gold
I included this song on my ROXY Athletic Mix. I especially love how it grows and am a sucker for a 'big finish'.
NadineMp3
13. Primary Colours
The Horrors
Primary Colours
Some critics commented that The Horrors made a Jesus and Mary Chain or Cure album with Primary Colours. As a J&MC, Cure, and Horrors fan, I think that's rad!
thehorrors
14. Blue Skies (The Twelves Remix)
Noah & The Whale
The First Days Of Spring
Blue Skies makes me happy. Been a while since I've gone through a breakup, but I imagine that this tune would help. The Twelves pump it up without losing the feel.
You can get this and several more great remixes at Living Ears:
RemixDownloads
15. Crystalised
The xx
xx
Another band that is so hip it hurts. I hear that their live show is lacking, but I still think these kids made one of the best albums of the year.
16. Two Weeks
Grizzly Bear
Veckatimest
I can't really say anything that has not already been said. Great band. Great song.
17. Heavy Cross (Fred Falke Remix)
The Gossip

18. Your Disco Song
Vitalic

19. Keep The Streets Empty For Me
Fever Ray
Fever Ray

The Blueprint 3
This is not my favorite Jay-Z song (his body of work is far too awesome) BUT this is still one of my favorite songs of the year.
21. Tightrope
Yeasayer
Dark Was The Night
I think Dark Was The Night is one of the best compilations that I've ever heard. there were so many amazing collaborations and songs. This one stood out. More new music for Yeasayer is coming any day. Can't wait!
yeasayer
darkwasthenight
22. Walkabout (Feat. Panda Bear)
Atlas Sound
Logos
Bradford Cox had this to say about the track in the lengthy press release for Logos:
"I toured for a period in Europe with Animal Collective, whose band dynamic was very inspirational to be around. On the bus, we often played improvised iPod games. We would take turns formulating a theme or unifying concept and then play three songs. The goal would be for everyone to try and figure out the theme. During one of these games, someone played 'What Am I Going to Do' by the Dovers. I was amazed at the hook-- a weird organ thing with drums and electric bass. I mentioned to Noah [Lennox] that someone should really sample that riff. He agreed and he taught me a little about sampling and matching
up beats. This ended up as the collaborative effort 'Walkabout'.”
Here's the audio for the Dovers track on which "Walkabout" is based:
atlassound
23. You'll Disappear (Jacques Renault Remix)
The Phenomenal Handclap Band
15 to 20 / You'll Disappear Remixes
I was torn between including '15-20' or 'You'll Disapear' on this list. Then I was torn between the Prins Thomas remix or this one. It is all very very good. I included this song on my 'Disco Dancing Keeps Me Warm' Mix.
http://rcrdlbl.com/artists/The_Phenomenal_Handclap_Band
24. 40 Day Dream
Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros

Alex Ebert makes me want to buy what he is selling. I too want to join an eleven person musical commune and play tambourine with my lover.
