“Radio Free Nepal” appears

February 15th, 2005 · 1 Comment

This morning, I came across a blog*spot site that appears to be a blog written by someone in Nepal who has “liveblogged” what has amounted to a bloodless coup in that country earlier this month. You can read it at freenepal.blogspot.com. There are a few posts up now, starting from February 1, which was about the time that outside Internet access and mass communication was blocked to all citizens and the media. I have read that there are various “openings” for Internet access and outside communication, and would presume that this was posted sometime during those opportunities.

More background on the situation here, here, here and here.

    Thanks for the breakdown of the Grammies. I think another interesting point to note is that a Grammy was awarded to Maria Schneider, whose album was distributed via the Internet only. It’s indicative of the increasing empowerment of artists, which is great for music and musicians.
