As a fan of both Al Gore and Mother Earth, I am excited enough about the Live Earth concerts coming up tomorrow all over the world.
I got even more excited when I heard Al Gore on TV last night and I realized these concerts are not about raising money but about raising awareness and taking action.
That said, the coolest thing I've seen so far rolling out on Reuters today about the event tomorrow is this on scientists who'll be playing music on Antarctica.
However brief its moment in the limelight, the group comprising two engineers, a marine biologist, a meteorologist and a polar guide will be watched by millions around the world when it appears as part of the Live Earth concerts on Saturday.
Billed as the "coolest gig in Live Earth", the outdoor performance at the British Antarctic Survey's Rothera Research Station will be pre-recorded and broadcast on the day on television, the Internet and possibly at the gigs themselves.
The band is connected to civilization via computer -
"What we see is through the Internet. It's hard to understand how much hype is going on. When we play there are 17 people on the base, so it's just a bit of fun really and hard to get the bigger picture."
The front page of the Reuters Live Earth Concert coverage has a photograph of the five scientist musicians.
The band's name is Nunatak, which means exposed summit of a ridge mountain or peak within an ice field or glacier in Greenlandic.
They've already recorded the performance.
If they read Daily Kos, I want to send them a big hug and a huge thank you.
