Nettie Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 Longer version of Michael Stipe/Hurricane Doc available online now The Sundance Channel is currently featuring a really interesting documentary titled In The Sun, which was created to remind Americans about the ongoing struggles of the survivors from Hurricane Katrina. The film also takes a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the In The Sun EP, currently available on iTunes. All proceeds from the sale of the EP go to Mercy Corps, which is devoted to those still suffering in the wake of the hurricane. The film was collaboration between Michael Stipe and photographer & Grammy-nominated video director Danny Clinch. It includes the song "In The Sun", which was written by singer/songwriter Joseph Arthur, as well as interviews with Arthur, Coldplay's Chris Martin, former Smashing Pumpkins' guitarist James Iha, Tulane University historian Douglas Brinkley and Katrina survivors.

kittybitty Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 Is Chris in the 41 minute version more? Do they play more of the actual song? I can't download anything while I'm at work so I'm pretty much left out of this song! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
