Lazlo's Corner

I wish I had made it to one of the Women's Marches on Saturday. Sadly, I was unable to, but watched some of the DC march live on CSPAN and it was inspiring.

The next four years may be challenging. It's certainly off to a...let's say interesting...start with "alternative facts"

But I have also been inspired by how our local music scene has come together with the release of the 68 song 'Rock Against Hate' compilation.

Yes, I may have been the one suggested putting this compilation together, but getting all this music together and released in 2 months was a team effort.

At a time when partisan bickering is at all time high, we came together, untied, to raise money for Planned Parenthood and the Trevor Project.

Never let it be said that we cannot make a difference when we work together towards a common goal.

While the compilation just came out a few days ago, we have already raised hundreds of dollars for the causes.

If you have already donated $10 (or more) and downloaded the compilation, thank you!

If you have not, please go to RockAgainstHate.org. We have the donation links there (money goes through Bandcamp directly to Planned Parenthood or The Trevor Project), the full track listing, and information on many of the songs on the compilation.

And keep listening to BlowUpRadio.com Presents New NJ Music which will be playing tracks from the compilation over the next few weeks.

Here are some links to articles written about the compilation:
