The Music Thread

[BO]

WTF. We all know the global economy is going to hell in a hand basket. So, like passengers on the Titanic, I propose this thread to calm our nerves as the ship goes down. Let's share some music--videos, or MP3's.

Britney or Bob, Madonna or Mozart, whatever floats your boat (yuk).

Wanna share an MP3? You can usually find a link to your song here...

Dedicated to all those Johnny One Notes - friend or foe - that we all know.

Skunk Anansie - the lead singer Skin has one of the best voices I have heard. I wish her band was truly equal to her talents.

This song jumped into my head when a conservative blogger claimed (gasp) the Khalid Sheik Mohammed trial is politically motivated.

YES ITS FUCKING POLITICAL
EVERYTHING'S POLITICAL

Obammy needs some fireworks to make sure the show continues in Afghanistan. So, why not hold a mock trial in NY. I mean, hasn't the guy already been convicted? Fuck that. The peeps must be constantly reminded that terrorists are the boogy men.

Welcome to Chinatown, Jake.

Just watched an iTunes 99cent movie called 'Standing in the shadow of Motown' which pays tribute to all the session players that played instruments on many Motown hit songs. Great movie, with many great performances by guest singers. A couple blew me away. Chaka Khan sing Marvin Gaye's 'What's Going on?' and Joan Osborne singing 'Heatwave.'

Here's Chaka...

Given the way he died, the song took on new meaning when Gaye sung
Father, father
We don't need to escalate
You see, war is not the answer
For only love can conquer hate
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some lovin' here today

Of course it also still works in light of Obama's LBJ moment with Afghanistan.
