The Old Oak

The Easybeats were all about youthful exuberance, and this 1965 debut captures them at their most youthful and exuberant-and what's more, this CD adds eight bonus cuts to the LP's 14 tracks. An alternate mix of their smash Friday on My Mind joins rare B-sides, a live version of their big Aussie hit She's So Fine, and more, with melody and energy to spare!

This is an unofficial CD by San Mateo, California un-legends, The Mummies. It features a full length album that was professionally recorded but allegedly not meant to be released. It also contains a full live show. Two of the songs are incorrectly titled, bootleg style. There is also a brief radio performance at the end.

Climate science can seem dense, remote, and abstract. But through the lens of this one tree, it becomes immediate and intimate. In Witness Tree, environmental reporter Lynda V. Mapes takes us through her year living with one red oak at the Harvard Forest. We learn about carbon cycles and leaf physiology but also experience the seasons as people have for centuries, watching for each new bud and listening for each new bird and frog call in spring.
