You Disappoint Me

Kerry won, maybe.
Disaster Mix V. 1: SECESSION.
“A Distorted Reality is Now a Necessity to be Free,” Elliott Smith.
(“You disappoint me, you people raking in on the world.” There’s always more to deflate.)
“Never Been To Spain,” Ike & Tina Turner.
(Sexy number on the benefits of other countries. I will marry Barcelonans with references.)
“Strugglin’ Woman’s Blues” Clara Smith.
(Appropriately ca. 1927.)
“the Point of No Return” Immortal Technique.
(You think you know Warrior? You don’t know Warrior. Lloyd Banks – whom I once adored, but must now divorce based on his far-right, self-interested relationship with capital — doesn’t know Warrior. Technique? He’ll teach you the meaning of a flak jacket and a revolution.

Let this be my last gesture of irony during the Bush II era: “Get Your House in Order” by Dottie Peoples and the Peoples Choice Chorale. Get your house in order, “for Jesus is coming.” A cappella chorus so crystalline, but for the militaristic stomping beneath. As she sings about the homeless people, so many homeless people, all the homeless people that Jesus gonna take care of, the fogginess over religious-right is cleared away, their motivation set forth: Jesus will take care of us, so the gov’t doesn’t have to. The pro-armageddon regime is cognizant of its strength.
[Not making judgements on the lovely Dottie or her Peoples… this song’s just clarifyin’ things.]
Cordero, “Cuando la Vida.”
“Sweetness” by Yes. Epic solace.
Yeah, the Zino-soldier premise is ridiculous and the lyrics are weak, but don’t hate on Martika. Her trajectory from the Disney Channel to greater fame presaged Xtina, Justin, Britney AND Felicity.

Hot shit. Probably trouble.
