“Fiasco” – Chron Gen

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

“Reds Strike the Blues” – Redskins

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.

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.

“James Bond Lives Down My Street” – Toy Dolls

“My hair is blond, dyed blond…” And y’know? It is, too, heh.

“Richard Hung Himself” – D.I.

Found this one rattling around in my big ol’ empty head this weekend, and would’ve posted it on Saturday, but webserver (and access to this here blog) was DOA. The ’server cluster at fault wasn’t named Richard, though. Catchy tune.

“Trust Your Mechanic” – Dead Kennedys

Woke up, poured myself a cup of coffee mid-brew, watched the pause ‘n’ pour fail, put the pot back in the puddle, and this song started playing in my head.

Good morning, y’all.
