Im doing a radio show, I need some vegan music

[MarkNZ]

Hi,
So, the people who do an animal rights radio show here in Wellington, NZ are letting me do an hour long music show with any animal rights/vegan related music I want, preferably radio freindly, and easy to listen to . . .

if you have any good ideas, let me know by posting here

so far Ive got:
The Smiths, 'Meat is murder'

spearhead/Michael Franti
dead prez
8 foot sativa "sleepwalkers" all vegan NZ band, heres the video

If I cant find enough I going to go 80s with deff leppard, poison etc (all have vegan band members and big hair), and maybe even Metallica now that the bass player is trying to be vegan

Mark, have you heard of a NZ hiphop artist called Trillion? - I don't think hes vegan (possibly veggie) but he's done a tune called Dig up your lawn, about growing your own food.

There's a few reggae artists I know of, Ras Attitude (has a tune called No bones no blood), Capleton, Macca B. The're all vegan, I'm sure there are loads more but I can't think of any.

Are Spearhead vegan?

This guy is fairly radio friendly

Otherwise, not radio friendly but you should still put on
Earth Crisis - to the death
Conflict - Meat still means Murder, Berkshire cunt
Maroon - Still Born
Sangre - fleshbreath

Goldfinger - open your eyes (Maybe a little too punk/heavy)
They also did a 99 red balloons cover which is very popular, has no vegan message though.

And not to forget: Behind the mask

These are mostly a bit folky:

Robb Johnson - among others "I'm a little animal"
Tracey Curtis - "Vegan Police"
Bob Pyle - has an album called "Apples and Oranges"
Eastfield - "Slam" (that's a bit more punky and violent )
Benjamin Zephaniah - "Talking Turkeys" (spoken word)
Dominic Berry (Mancester Poet) - "Coming out as Vegan" (Good, but a bit long perhaps)

[JP]

trust the manchesters own radio voice to come up with a good list

Benjamin Zephaniah - "Talking Turkeys" (spoken word)

Ace! Put that on Mark!

Promoe of course !

(ok it might not be mainstream but still good)

thanks, lots of good stuff there. I tried to find "Behind the mask" on youtube but cant seem to find a copy

I did find this new version of "Free Kevin Kjonaas" also by Goldfinger which is quite good

and, Trillion, dunno if he is veggie but his sister is cos I used to flat with her about twenty years ago when I first turned veggie. she was into gangsta rap then, now shes into completely different stuff. her curernt band is an
"ethereal and orchestrally delightful multimedia ensemble" called Cloudboy

I think the songs called "Vegan Nutrition"

[hardcore iv]

Beef - Boogie down productions
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fKHrmJQVpv8
Don't think the group members are vegan though

Cows with guns - Dana Lyons
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NPW0pkEY_3E

Looking For Changes - Paul McCartney
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gFHkdpIqIcs

Also, if you are going to end up using music by vegans, you can't forget Bryan Adams or Weird Al Yankovic. So many great tracks to choose from

Can't seem to find it either anymore, just a really crappy live version..

Erykah Badu is vegan and quite mainstream.

Sole is vegan. Moby obviously.

Jason Mraz is also vegan (raw I think)
