MOM (Music For Our Mother Ocean) Documentary

"Fellow Ocean Warriors,
On a recent surf trip to Baja California, Mexico we were reminded that the oceans and waves have an awesome power to renew the human soul and spirit. Paddling out from a barren, wild beach into pristine water to surf on perfect waves, we knew then that we truly owe the same privilege to future generations, surfers and non-surfers alike. We're stoked that you're joining us in the mission to protect and preserve our planet's oceans, waves and beaches and all the water animals (including people) who swim there.
Let our oceans live - its never too late to make a positive change!"
The album is out on Surfdog Records and will be distributed by Hollywood Records. Over two-thirds of the album’s songs are specially recorded and previously unreleased songs with an ocean, surf, or summertime theme.
MOM is such a cool collection of bands and vibe that we wanted to be part of it. We are Summer people. We surf. We skate. We grew up at the beach. We care.
- Greg Camp of Smash Mouth
In 1996, the Surfrider Foundation, an international ocean conservation organization, partnered with Surfdog Records in order to create MOM, for which Pearl Jam, The Beastie Boys, Jewel, No Doubt, Sublime and the Ramones, among many others, contributed original songs. MOM 2 included songs from The Offspring, Brian Setzer Orchestra, Jewel, 311, the Mighty Mighty Bosstones, and Porno for Pyros.
To date, the MOM albums have raised nearly $500,000, the largest donations in the foundation’s history, for Surfrider Foundation’s water quality monitoring, educational, legal and international beach clean-up and restoration programs and campaigns.
The artists, Surfdog Records and the MOM projects have changed the face of Surfrider Foundation

The funds have allowed Surfrider Foundation to launch critical support of the B.E.A.C.H Bill, which is legislation for ocean water quality, which now has passed the U.S. House of Representatives and is up for vote in the U.S. Senate this summer; launch the national program Respect the Beach, a nationwide educational program for school children and Internet users on protecting the oceans, waves and beaches from pollution and trash; and train and empower local citizens who comprise Surfrider chapters in 43 cities to become community leaders in ocean conservation and coastal politics.

best albums ever made in the history of our planet earth

[@voodoochat78]

I wonder why they quit making them

[@CretinH]

Yeah after I listened to all three I was wondering why they didn't make a fourth album

[@RedpillPortugal]

Because 3 is the number of the illuminati industry...
You all should know that

[@cspenglerstrategies]

@@CretinH Because it was a LOT of work - free work, to get these done and Surfdog records is a tiny operation.
