The Wailers w/ Headshine @ House of Blues Anaheim Dec. 9, 2011
 

Friday December 9, 2011- HEADSHINE opens for Bob Marley's legendary band THE WAILERS @ House of Blues Anaheim. Doors open 8pm. Showtime: 9pm. All Ages. Address: 1530 South Disneyland Drive Anaheim, CA 92802. Tickets now on sale through Ticketmaster and Houseofblues.com

Together with Bob Marley, the Wailers have sold in excess of 250 million albums worldwide & have also played or performed with international acts like Sting, the Fugees, Stevie Wonder, Carlos Santana, and Alpha Blondy, as well as reggae legends such as Peter Tosh, Bunny Wailer, and Burning Spear. As the greatest living exponents of Jamaica’s reggae tradition, the Wailers have completed innumerable other tours, playing to an estimated 24 million people across the globe.

Their nucleus formed in 1969, when Bob Marley, Bunny Wailer, and Peter Tosh recruited the Barrett brothers - bassist Aston “Family Man” and drummer Carly - from Lee Perry’s Upsetters. Inspired by Rastafari and their ambitions of reaching an international audience, this is the line-up that pioneered roots rock reggae, and signed to Island Records in 1971.

This will be a night to remember as they perform the legendary UPRISING album in its entirety as well as the hit singles that made Bob Marley a global icon, winner of several Lifetime Achievement awards, and Jamaica’s best-loved musical superstar! Tickets now available @ HOB.com

  New CD "Better Things" by Headshine hits iTunes
 

Click to listen / buy the new CD: BETTER THINGS by HEADSHINE!Mixing acoustic coastal-rock and a feel-good vibe, HEADSHINE takes you on a free spirited ride up the coast with a soundtrack of life, love and the space between. In spring 2009, a song that RAS wrote, sang and played on acoustic guitar caught the ear of major label producer Jim Perkins (Big B, Scott Russo, Chali Tuna, OPM, Pato Banton). Jim showed the one-take demo to his business partner Andrew Nast along with some other close friends in the music industry. For some reason, they wanted to hear more.

With a fresh California sound and songs about living life to the fullest, this emerging artist from Huntington Beach is now earning the love and support of fans from a 30 city Fall and Summer west coast tour. HEADSHINE has performed at Idaho State University, San Diego State University, Cal State University Long Beach and Whitworth University in Spokane Washington, and after recently opening for the national rock band Lit, England's renown English Beat, and Jamaican reggae legend Prezident Brown, better things are coming and the future looks bright. HEADSHINE is now booking more US tour dates and the new CD "BETTER THINGS" is now available on iTunes.

As the nation's largest nationally distributed musicians' trade publication Performer Mag recently said, "RAS sings like an artist who has been through a lot and is only beginning to bare all.

With the backing of major-label producer, Jim Perkins and with the premiere of his first single "Better Things" on San Diego's 91X, things are definitely looking up..." -Performer Magazine

  "By now most of us are pretty hip to recycling, but did you know that many of the coolest new items in home decor are actually made from recycled and renewable materials?... It's true!" Maurice Blanks in "Trend Watch" presents an Eco-Friendly Design segment featuring "Module 1" in the "Cubamid" from Planet Squared. "All of these products are practical, trendy and best of all... they're great for the environment!" -Excerpt by host Lise Simms from the show "Area" that premiered nationwide on Style Network Television June 10th at 9:30pm, 12th at 2pm; 14th at 11:30 am; 15th at 7am, 9:30am, 4:30pm; 16th at 1:30pm, 7:30pm, 10:30 pm.
   
  Casamica Magazine from Milan, Italy
  "Ecologically means above all respect for the environment. There has been a thought for a while to establish a partnership between business and design to research a different way of living that is not only more natural but also pays attention to environmental resources. On one side you have designers experimenting with unusual materials that are recyclable and on the other side you have the business committed to saving energy and developing production methods that exclude toxic or pollutant materials. This is a testimonial that design can be more ecological." Excerpt from "Ecological Design" article by Elisa Massoni, Editor -Casamica featuring the "Cubamid" from Planet Squared.

This eco-friendly furniture piece is made with impressive modern-style, modules that allow for various configurations. The Causebar piece came with 3 modules and a glass top - we put funky black & white post cards under the glass top to add a personal touch. Use your creativity and paint it!

  OnLine Tonight! with David Lawrence from Baltimore, Maryland
  "High tech? Pop culture? You make the call. What is handcrafted, certified by serial number and made with 40% post-consumer and 60% pre-consumer recycled cellulose fibers? No, it's not Franklin Mint's commemorative piece of garbage. It's Planet Squared's way of making a difference in recycled furniture. Planet Squared has a cycle of life for their products...by using recycled materials, and making furniture that can be recycled, you are saving water, trees, oil, electricity, and cutting down on pollution.

  Planet Squared... "Furniture for the Future"
 

Planet Squared promoted a nationwide contest that challenged our customers to create an original artwork based on the question: Why is Planet Squared "Furniture for the Future?". The best entry would have their name and artwork published in Planet Squared eNews and would also be given their choice of winning one of our Resourceful Living Arrangements™ including delivery to their front door for free! Well... we're proud to say that all of the entries we received were very inspiring and would like to thank and congratulate all that entered! The 2001' Grand Prize Winner of Planet Squared's Ecological Extravaganza who answered the question correctly is: William Forester of Los Angeles, California, USA! William won his choice of a "Ju-el" delivered to his home for free as well as having his artwork featured here.

To find out a little more about him... we asked William to share with us what inspired his work. Mr. Forester, a 28-year-old avid artist and surfer told us he's tired of paddling out in polluted water and getting sick. "Instead of accepting it... I've directed my angst towards ignorant, selfish humans who continue to destroy our planets fragile ecosystem. Though it's sad to see people live their entire life completely oblivious, I feel my artwork helps some to understand that planet Earth is a precious gift to share not a commodity to horde. To grow up watching countries exhaust our planets resources, pollute the environment then, fight over who owns a piece of it is pathetic and deplorable. Planet Squared shows us we can live in harmony. Long live those squared to the P." The artwork shown here incorporates a view of planet Earth taken by the orbiting spacecraft Clementine.
