Groovy. That’s all I got for this one, just plain groovy.
But then, sometimes that’s all you need.

Afterthought… the singer more than a little resembles Mico Saudad, of Songfight reknown. Hmmm, maybe I’m just hitting the crack-pipe too much lately.
Yes, some of you readers (which is what, two people? Heh) might realize that I’m pulling this pseudo-theme from tracks that are all on the 3-disc compilation, “Politics of Punk”. So much for
my street cred…
This one’s got the western guitar, which is always cool, and has some little connection to the movie Westworld (duh) which is way up there on my list of favorites.
Richard Benjamin is a god among actors. And Theatre of Hate ain’t bad either.

Another in the list of political punk songs that I find inescapably fukkengroovy. There’s a song I’d like to cover, if only to get that tasty groove deeper under my skin.
Madness’ “Blue Skinned Beast” almost makes the list, but there’s just so much British nasal one can take in a pseudo-week’s thematicide.
Fiasco
Hey, I
like political music. Sue me, heh. Sound levels on this YouTube are pretty low, maybe I’ll link to a studio version eventually (since I’ll be doing that for tomorrow’s SOTD for a different song anyway) as well.
This would’ve been good music to have had for the 1,100 miles of driving I did, touring this past weekend.

Avant-garde? Wankeriffic? Fuckin’ groovy?

Since I’m ramping up for 4 days of touring with the Primitive Screwheads, here’s a song I would absofuckinglutely love to cover, as an opening number. Hot diggity-damn!
The theremin would definitely be in there. Anybody want to give me some extra pairs of arms?

Wow, they ripped it up something fierce, 3/29/08 @ the Crystal Ballroom, here in (currently) cold-ass PDX. That guitar player, man, is something else. Zen Ninja style, total economy of motion. In awe, me.
