Anchor Me

Wrapping up Mutton Birds week with this NZ star-studded cover of "Anchor Me" recorded to benefit Greenpeace on the 20th anniversary of the bombing of the Rainbow Warrior.



I'm not sure if I'm more impressed that they'd mark the anniversary by recording a Greenpeace tribute, or that they'd do so by recording a Mutton Birds song. The performance itself is a pale imitation of the MBs original, but the intent is so noble that it makes me want to donate to Greenpeace, which I guess was its purpose.

Five more days of New Zealand music month, but after a week of Finns a week of Flying Nuns and a week of Mutton Birds, I'm fresh out of themes. Trying to find five random NZ songs that are neither Finn nor fowl.
