Godflesh - "Like Rats"

A throwaway comment during a Metallica interview I was watching reminded of this band. Went on a bit of a journey into my memory getting reaquainted with them. Industrial Metal pioneers. There was a (brief) time in my life, when I loved Industrial Metal, coming home from youth group on Friday nights and switching on LOUD on Much Music, hoping to hear the latest and greatest...

Abandon The Ark




 Mr. T

Manfred Mann - "Pretty Flamingo"



G-Man

Laura Jane Grace - "Conceptual Paths"

Today is the last page of a chapter for me. And as always, when I stand on the shore of a new frontier, this song is on my mind. No longer can I sleep idly. No longer can I simply exist. I must explore and expand. The end of an era is neigh. Yet still, i'm scared to death....

Yesterday Blisters


 


Mr. T

Carl Carlton - "Everlasting Love"



G-Man

Bad Religion - "Punk Rock Song"

This is one of those songs that has been in my collection for years, but I don't know if i've sat and actually listen to it. Absorb it, until lately. Jesus, the lyrics are more meaningful now than ever...

Have you been to the desert? Have you walked with the dead?
There's a hundred thousand children being killed for their bread
And the figures don't lie, they speak of human disease
But we do what we want, and we think what we please
Have you lived the experience? Have you witnessed the plague?
People making babies sometimes just to escape
In this land of competition, the compassion is gone
Yeah, we ignore the needy, and we keep pushing on
Keep pushing on
This is just a punk rock song
Written for the people who can see something's wrong
Like ants in a colony, we do our share
But there's so many other fucking insects out there
And this is just a punk rock song
Have you visited the quagmire? Have you swam in the shit?
The party convention and the real politik
The face is always different, the rhetoric the same
But we swallow it all, and we'll see nothing change
Nothing has changed
This is just a punk rock song
Written for the people who can see something's wrong
Like workers in a factory, we do our share
But there's so many other fuckin' robots out there
And this is just a punk rock song
10 million dollars on a losing campaign
20 million starving and writhing in pain
Big strong people unwilling to give
Small in vision and perspective
One in five kids below the poverty line
One population running out of time
Running out of time
This is just a punk rock song
Written for the people who can see something's wrong
Like ants in a colony, we do our share
But there's so many other fucking insects out there
And this is just a punk rock song
The figures don't lie, they speak of human disease
But we do what we want and we think what we please
One in five kids below the poverty line
One population running out of time
This is just a punk rock song
