ANTI-WAR SONGS, THE NEXT GENERATION

STILL ROCKIN' IN THE FREE WORLD

Sunday Music Video Contest & Rock 'N' Roll Party, XXXTREME Edition

Here's some of that semi-articulate rage that helped put Obama over the top, by motivating a new generation of slackers to finally get off their asses and vote. These songs were recommended by Tom Grierson of About.com . Cuz WTF do I know about this sh*t. I'm an old man. Suddenly.

The year's top ten Protest Rock songs, picked by some kid who knows better than me, probly. It's all noise to me, y'know? Where's the melody, the harmony, the lyrics? How can you dance to this? Will anybody still listen to these kids' music in twenty, thirty, forty years or more? Who's going to whistle these tunes? Whose going to make love to them? Who's going to be their balladeer, their troubador, their crooner of sweet melodies, like Hank Williams, Little Richard, Eric Burdon, Iggy Stooge, Sid Vicious, or the Dead Kennedy's? Where's the freakin ROMANCE, hanh? I dunno. These kids today. I guess I'm just not "happenin'" any more, or something, y'know? Dag-nab it!


YOUTUBE: FILTER
"filter - Only You (Stripped) - Remixes For The Damned"
Ah, sweet melody of death.


YOUTUBE: BLACK STONE CHERRY
"Black Stone Cherry - Peace Is Free"
It's what the kids are listening to today, I don't know.

Ambiguous populist folk-rant. Not bad, for a Gen-X'er.

"Scars on broadway - They Say Offical Video"
My favorite one of these. Lots of f*cking in it.


YOUTUBE: SHINEDOWN

Mainstream Top-40 commercial protest rock, complete with MTV video. Hm.


YOUTUBE: NINE INCH NAILS
"Nine Inch Nails - Letting You Rehearsal"
Anti-Bush Indie Alt-Rock on the heavy side.


YOUTUBE: ONE DAY AS A LION
"One Day As A Lion-Wild International"
Rock-Rap-protest song.


YOUTUBE: DISTURBED
"Disturbed - Indestructible"
Screamin' LA-style punk-metal for "baby-killers" in Iraq. Good beat. I gave it a 7, cuz I could dance to it.

Bay Area Company Revives The "Lighter Than Air Ship" In Time For Rock Reunion

Can a plague of iron butterflies be far behind? Is that a strawberry alarm clock I hear ringing? And what about moby grapes? Speaking of which, I ran into Hurley from "Lost" in the supermarket yesterday. Literally. Couldn't fit around him. He's a big guy. Picking out pumpkins in the produce aisle. And I guess he's not lost any more. Hey, how 'bout some psychedlic ice cream?

YAHOO NEWS:
"Californians float a plan: Return of the zeppelin"
Zo fahr, zo gut!

' Invented by Ferdinand von Zeppelin of Germany in the late 19th century, zeppelins were used for commercial passenger transport and military operations until the start of World War II. The zeppelin's golden age ended in 1937 when the LZ-129 Hindenburg — the largest airship ever built — caught fire and burst into flames in front of thousands of spectators in Lakehurst, N.J., killing 35 of 97 people on board. A German company, Zeppelin Luftschifftechnik, began building a new zeppelin about decade ago and has been offering passenger rides since 2001. While the Hindenburg was fueled by flammable hydrogen, the modern version is kept aloft by nonflammable helium. More than 80,000 passengers have ridden without a safety problem, Hall said. '

"LED ZEPPELIN - TYLER 'TAKES OVER FROM PLANT'"
Coincidence? Chance conjunction of zeppelins? I think not.

' Singer Plant has frequently denied the band is to hit the road for a string of gigs, but rumours the other three members - Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones, and Jason Bonham - have been rehearsing together have sent gossips into a spin. Now the comeback looks to be a step closer to reality - with reports suggesting Tyler has taken over vocal duties during practice sessions in London. '
