Just to give everyone the heads-up… Twelve Offerings is now available on iTunes Music Store (and iTunes Plus) and Beatport. Unfortunately, I cannot include personalized donation messages for sales via these services, but all proceeds will be donated regardless. If you’ve been waiting for one of these services to carry it to donate, now is the time (although buying the CD directly will prove to be a bigger donation).

I would like to introduce Twelve Offerings, the newest release by Logickal. It is dedicated to the people and Sangha of Burma, the monks who peacefully led protests against the ruling Junta on the country before being suppressed. All proceeds of this release will be given to The U.S. Campaign for Burma.
UPDATE: Twelve Offerings is now available from iTunes Music Store (and iTunes Plus) and Beatport. Unfortunately, I cannot include personalized donation messages for sales via these services, but all proceeds will be donated regardless.
Going to be on the radio tomorrow morning talking about Twelve Offerings and playing another mix of the tracks on the Mixdown, thanks to our good friend John Brassil. I’ll be on 91.1 WRVU around 11:30 - you can tune in via the stream if you aren’t in town. If you miss it, there’s an archive in case you have a desire to hear me ramble on about my projects.
Even though the headlines aren’t screaming at us any longer, things aren’t “all better” in Burma. One visit to the Assistance Association for Political Prisoners is enough to remind us:
AAPP has learned that authorities from Kyaukpandawn Township informed the family of Ko Win Shwe yesterday that he died while in interrogation.
Ko Win Shwe, a 42 year old NLD member, and other 4 others were arrested on September 26, 2007 because of their active support and participation in the monks’ demonstration.
After Ko Win Shwe and group were arrested, they were placed at Plate Myot Police Center near Mandalay. He died as a result of torture during interrogation. However, his body was not sent to his family and the interrogators indicated that they had cremated it instead.
Many people are reporting that numerous demonstrators were killed when security forces brutally cracked down on the peaceful demonstrations with shooting and vicious beatings. Many dead bodies and injured persons were cremated or placed in the river. Some dead bodies of monks have appeared in the Pazundaung River in Rangoon in the past few days. In addition, many of those who have been arrested have been tortured during interrogation.
Twelve Offerings is nearly complete. Expect an announcement very soon.
