As a Neocon, the only music that "speaks to my politics" is country. *gag*
So as a music lover, most of the bands in my collection are obscure, and decidedly left-wing. But I guess I haven't been quite cool enough to have even heard of the cultural vanguards of Pulp...
Readers may recall the 2006 Reading Festival being animated by a sing-along music video titled Cunts Are Still Running the World, which had been sent across the English Channel by Pulp’s Jarvis Cocker, along with an appeal to “smash the system.” No doubt Mr Cocker’s admirers could feel the heat of his socialist belly fire all the way from the singer’s second home in Paris.
Don't have a lot of cash to buy a building? Worry not, just because it is available to get the business loans to resolve such problems. So take a auto loan to buy everything you need.

Dare I say it: Your choice in music can only draw spammers.
Your choice in erotica and pinups, on the other hand, will bring every dirty old, red-blooded male out of the cyber woodwork.

I've been listening to a new album lately. It's by The Belle Brigade. Apparently it's their first album so, of course, the album is also called The Belle Brigade. I think I'll name my first album, "Anything Other Than My Band's Name".

I find any music which "speaks to politics" of whatever stripe to be annoying. (If you want to get really into the whole discussion of art versus political discourse read Joyce's "A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man.")
Which is probably why I usually stick to things like Dead Can Dance, Phillip Glass, instrumental jazz and stuff written long before I was born.

Joyce's position was that any "art" which tries to get you to take some action or adopt some political stance is nothing but pornography, not Art.

Got to agree with on Casablanca and African Queen. Bogie rocked. Wonder Women...so sad that you don`t like horse operas.

Hey, WW, are you okay?
I haven't been checking in much for the last couple years (been jobless, homeless, yada yada yada), but I'm alarmed by the paucity of your posts.
Little "l" love ya,
Steve
