Friday Fun Track Don't Play Me a Punk Song!!!

Any band that can pull off wearing lederhosen...well, that's aces in my book.

Friday Fun Track

You and I must fight for our rights.  

Fun Track - special edition

While I won't be visiting our neighbors to the north, I'll be in northern lower MI and it will be white.  I hope your weekend is a good one. 

Friday Fun Track - Scary Dreams

Since Nick and Bob were asking, I'd thought I'd oblige.  I dearly hope the pro 2nd Amendment crowd is giving DiFi a nightmare.

Friday Funtrack - Thunderstruck

There's an old joke, The Irish gave the Scots bagpipes as a joke.  The Scots still don't get the joke.  

Friday Fun Track - Bastile Day

Yeah, it's the French, bu they did kick out a tyrant.

Friday Fun Track - Bloody Mary

Friday Fun Track It's a Long Way to the Top

There was a little black spot on the sun Tuesday

Just because Venus transited in front of the sun this past Tuesday.  

Friday Fun Track - Cake

I always think of the Indianapolis 500 when I hear this song.  

Friday Fun Track - Good Intentions

Friday Fun Track - Bombay Royale

Thanks again to my buddy Curt, for pointing this one out.  Way cool.  To me, this could fit right into an episode of Archer.

Friday Fun Track - B

My buddy Curt had this in his collection for the ride to Memphis a month ago.   The name of the band had me predisposed to thinking it was a death metal band of some sort.  Not in the slightest.  Just good ole' American Rock n' Roll. 

Friday Fun Track - Drive By Truckers

This last weekend, I went and crewed for a friend for his race car.  The music for the trip invariably has some Drive By Truckers in it.  This song was on one of the CD's we listened to.  Pretty good road music to tow a race car to.

Friday Fun Track - Guns of Brixton

Perhaps those <strike> citizen's </strike> subject's of the formerly Great Britain can find inspiration in the guns of Brixton and go back to being citizens. With ALL of the inherent human rights they are currently denied, including the right to self defense.

Friday Fun Track - a prayer and a quest

Presented without comment.

Friday Fun Track - Rockets

Considering that yesterday marked the 42nd anniversary of man's first steps on the moon, these two related songs seemed appropriate.

Friday Fun Track

After last week's entry, I found something more.... fun. And really, aren't cute South Korean pop stars fun?

Friday (NOT) Fun Track - The Internationale

This week's music selection comes from being bummed that Kevin Baker has decided to take a hiatus from blogging for awhile. Misery loves company, and well, this week's track is the epitome of misery.



The Internationale is THE anthem for socialism. Lyrics to the Billy Bragg version below. And yes, what Gerard Vanderleun said still holds -

There are some lies that lodge so deep in the hopes of man that they can never be killed no matter how many are killed to make the lie true.

Stand up, all victims of oppression,
For the tyrants fear your might!
Don't cling so hard to your possessions,
For you have nothing if you have no rights!
Let racist ignorance be ended,
For respect makes the empires fall!
Freedom is privilege extended,
Unless enjoyed by one and all.
So come brothers and sisters,
For the struggle carries on.
The Internationale,
Unites the world in song.
So comrades, come rally,
For this is the time and place!
The international ideal,
Unites the human race.

Let no one build walls to divide us,
Walls of hatred nor walls of stone.
Come greet the dawn and stand beside us,
We'll live together or we'll die alone.
In our world poisoned by exploitation,
Those who have taken, now they must give!
And end the vanity of nations,
We've but one Earth on which to live.
So come brothers and sisters,
For the struggle carries on.
The Internationale,
Unites the world in song.
So comrades, come rally,
For this is the time and place!
The international ideal,
Unites the human race.

And so begins the final drama,
In the streets and in the fields.
We stand unbowed before their armour,
We defy their guns and shields!
When we fight, provoked by their aggression,
Let us be inspired by life and love.
For though they offer us concessions,
Change will not come from above!
So come brothers and sisters,
For the struggle carries on.
The Internationale,
Unites the world in song.
So comrades, come rally,
For this is the time and place!
The Internationale,
Unites the human race.

Friday Fun Track - Lord Have Mercy

Lord Have Mercy... like that ancient Chinese curse, we're living in interesting times.
