December 1, 2006 is World AIDS Day, while this month marks the 15-year anniversary of when two legends in the world of music and sports announced to all their HIV-positive diagnoses, forever changing the face of the disease. Socially aware indie artist Arnold G plans to do his part, via music, in creating more of an awareness for those affected by HIV/AIDS. The pop-flavored "Carry On" focuses on AIDS awareness and is from his album DRIVEN: Straight to the Dance Floor. Written and composed by Arnold G, the song has an accompanying video montage with riveting images of lives around the world affected by HIV:
The music of NYC rock trio Vaeda may lead the listeners astray, but they invariably find their way back to the band, who were the No. 1 unsigned band on MySpace in Sep/Oct 2005 based on song plays on the band’s homepage (and who currently have over 105,000 MySpace friends). Their debut album, State of Nature, was released on Playtyme Records in August this year. Watch them perform a live acoustic set for SpotlightON.
