On October 24, Rounder Records/Zoë Vision released the first music DVD from Robert Plant. Produced by Soundstage and directed by Joe Thomas, Robert Plant and the Strange Sensation was originally featured on PBS.

      A landmark PBS series, Soundstage initially ran for 11 years, from 1974 through 1985, and featured some of the most prestigious names in popular music, including Bob Dylan, Al Green, Aretha Franklin, Bonnie Raitt and the Temptations. Taped before small studio audiences, the intimate performances offered home viewers a unique concert experience. The program was recently resurrected and has been captivating a new generation of music fans with one-hour live sets by a diversity of artists.

      Plant's Soundstage performance was filmed at the Soundstage Studios in Chicago on September 16, 2005, with his band, Strange Sensation. The quintet features Clive Deamer from Portishead and Roni Size projects on drums, John Baggott of Portishead and Massive Attack on keyboards, Billy Fuller of Fuzz Against Junk on bass, Skin of Cast on guitar and Justin Adams of Sinead O'Connor, Jah Wobble and the Wayward Shakes on gimbri, darbouka and guitar.

      Clocking in at 66 minutes, the program was captured live in high-definition and mixed in 5.1 Surround Sound. The set covers Led Zeppelin classics and Plant's solo material.

      This month, Mute Records releases Go: The Very Best of Moby. Moby has sold more than 15 million records, but he has never quite fit into the typical boxes of celebrity. For this former punk-rocker turned underground electronic music phenomenon, being up front about his ideals isn't a problem—even when they're diametrically opposed to those typically seen from the rich and famous.

      Moby's album liner notes cover everything from the Religious Right to veganism to global warming. He is outspoken about the Grammys, MTV, and participates in panel discussions on faith and politics. He describes his lifestyle as a "Robin Hood-style philanthropy" and describes Jesus as "essentially a homeless anarchist."

      Recently, Moby talked with Sojourners magazine about the ways in which his faith and ideology affect his lifestyle, art and activism. Sitting on the roof of his Little Italy apartment in New York City, he grappled with being a "clueless Christian," how his thoughts and work have changed throughout his career, and seeking God's will—even while being scared of it.
