[MUSIC] Call me paranoid, but does anyone else find all the massive corporate buyouts of private media companies by a handful of big name broadcasters a tad Orwellian? Radio and TV have turned into a soggy, soulless bore in order to conform to record companies and public trends. And yet, people spend hours hypnotized by this drivel. Creepy. But here’s something I didn’t know about: Mana’o Radio. It’s a little project put together in a home in Wailuku—a non-commercial, listener supported radio station, dedicated to putting some heart back into the industry. They help to educate the community by showcasing local and ethnic music that isn’t played alongside the droning sounds that usually get airtime. And they’re putting on an acoustic showcase this weekend, featuring Victoria Barrett, a sultry musician with a laidback, coffee house feel that should be perfect for a Sunday afternoon. Come do your part to stop Big Brother. Damn the man! [REESE QUICK]
