Episode Synopsis
Episode 24 — "Old and New Sunlight"When we remember that fossil fuels are simply the sunlight that fell on Earth hundreds of millions of years ago, it changes our perspective on energy use. It's ALL solar power; the only difference is whether it's old or new. All these forms of energy have their own music, and this episode of "Cool Tunes For A Hot Planet" brings together songs of coal miners and anti-mining activists, the songs of oil drillers and of those fighting to preserve their lands, the songs of anti-fracking campaigns...and songs from all over the world in acknowledgement and gratitude to the Sun — along with film clips and interviews for a fascinating musical journey through Earth's energy economy, hosted by Warren Senders.Music:"The Sun's Gonna Shine In My Door Someday"Big Bill Broonzy"Our Mr. Sun"Directed by Frank Capra, 1956Bell Systems Science SeriesPublic Domain, courtesy A/V Geeks LLC"Black Lung"Hazel Dickens, 1990Film by Mimi PickeringCourtesy of Appalshop Films"42 Years"Nimrod Workman, 1983From the Alan Lomax Collection,American Folklife Center,Library of CongressCourtesy of the Association for Cultural Equity"Coal Miners' Song"Traditional Folk Songs of Japan,Collected by Ryutaro Hattori,Folkways Records FE 4534"Ham Hai Coal India"Promotional VideoMinistry of Coal, Government of IndiaInterview with film-maker and activist Surya Shankar Dash, India"Niyamraja's Lament"Dombu Praska,Niyamgiri Hills, November 2013Film by Surya Shankar Dash"Dharini — Earth Festival"Domgria Kondh TribespeopleNiyamgiri Hills, April 2016Film by Surya Shankar Dash"Niyamgiri Suraksha Samiti Victory March"Domgria Kondh TribespeopleNiyamgiri Hills, April 2016Film by Surya Shankar Dash"I'm A Tool-Pusher From Snyder"Slim WilletStar Talent 770-B"This Old Rig"Freddie FrankPermian RecordsPR 1001-A"Energy Crisis"Public Service AnnouncementUS Department of Energy"There is Only So Much Oil In The Ground"Tower Of PowerFrom "Urban Renewal", 1974Warner Brothers BS 2834Interview with Eco-Musicologist Olusegan Titus, Nigeria."Black Tide"Ubrei-Joe JeruFilm courtesy Olusegan Titus"Niger Delta"Nneka EgbunaFrom "No Longer At Ease", 2008Yo Mama's Recording – YPS 88697111381"Frackin' The Hole"Wes St. JohnKECO Radio, April 22, 2011"Before The Drilling Rigs Got Here"Thom Chaconfrom "Buy This Fracking Album"www.thomchacon.com/"Frack Attack"Quintin "Jitsvinger" Goliath — lyrics, vocalsLoris Raimondi — musicPete O'Donoghue, Travys Owen — sound & animationProduced by Pippa Ehrlich andTreasure Karoo Action Group"Tum Jaago Mohan Pyaare"Khyal in Raga BhairavPt.
