Last year in a presentation about the critical academic approach of political ecology, a classmate observed that its main advocates do not do enough to forward their approach – which is criminal for the contribution it might make.  He made a good point, and I have begun to feel that way about many other things such as the Baha’i teachings, the movie The Fountain  and the three musicians Simon Honeyman, Eric Farr and James Farr.  To be clear, I am promoting them here from beyond the ocean not because they are my dear friends and I love them to bits – it is selfishly as a fan of their music who wants to hasten the proper recording of it so that I can have it in my own hands as soon as possible. 

This Sunday the 23rd of December at 4pm, all those with the good fortune of being on the right continent have the chance to see all three of the aforementioned musicians play at the legendary Blacksheep Inn of Wakefield, Quebec – the famous venue outside Ottawa that has been crucial to the early and continued careers of many successful Canadian musicians. Here is a map.

Eric Farr

• MySpace page – http://www.myspace.com/ericfarrmusic 
• Video 1, Video 2,  Video 3,
• Unofficial fan club on Facebook

His MySpace page is where my sister and I used to have our daily Eric Farr Love-Fests last year.  It consisted of listening to the music posted there again and again, especially the song ‘Deliah’, and talking about how dreamy Eric is. 

James Farr

• MySpace Page –  http://www.myspace.com/crookedpilgrim 

I have no videos to show you of James in action, but let me say two things:

1. Even though he is big enough to eat me now, I remember when he was a baby, a fact I tell him often.
2. He is an incredible songwriter, and you can expect to her some of his work played together with Simon and Eric. 

Simon Honeyman

• Myspace Page – http://www.myspace.com/simonhoneyman

You know how some women get so moved when they see little babies that they actually say that they want to eat them up?  That’s pretty much how I feel when I hear Simon’s voice.
