Super Tuesday: Jams
Posted by seed @ 12:38 PM
Ok, so after you have participated in you respective primary elections, you are invited to imbibe in two musical selections that have been uploaded to the Jams:
Bruce Springsteen : Magic
Mark Knopfler : Kill to Get Crimson
The former I have not listened to. In all honesty, the political sermons that the Boss has been including in his performances are a huge turnoff. And that should speak volumes to the riders here, because I am a huge Bruce fan. With that, I've not been able to pick-up my Springsteen albums with quite the same fervor. That's is not to say that it has been a cold-turkey withdrawal, like that of John Mellencamp who happened to turn out to be a total fuck-tard of the highest order. I just haven't been that eager hear more musician's political views. So, this album will be new to me. Buy it here.
The Knopfler album is did have a chance to spin over the weekend, although I was hoped up on some anti-flu OTC cocktails. I did notice that there are quite a few sounds that up until now were unfamiliar to a traditional Knopfler album. I also kept an open, yet sometimes distracted, ear for the bad history lessons that get embeded in his music. Don't get me wrong, I really enjoy the historical references in his songs. It's kinda makes me feel warm and fuzzy to think back about the Mason and Dixon. The feeling really isn't the same about Ray Kroc. So it goes. Of course, you buy this one here.
With that I leave you to you respective races, and your copious amounts of whatever you need to get through the hypocrisy that is the American election process.
