Milosh- You Make Me Feel

[T'Chenka]

Canadian classic. Just perfection.

[KoopaDaQuick 🇵🇸]

Edvard Grieg's "Morgenstemning i ørkenen" (known more commonly as Morning Mood in the Anglosphere) is a pure classic. Pretty much everyone's heard it, but not a lot of people know its name.

Listening to it after having an episode really does something to ya. It really installs a feeling of rebirth and hope.

Michelle Branch - Everywhere

[NOVA Green]

So for anybody either a member of the Forum or a lurker, here is a song which my Grandfather who fought in WW II against the Nazi bastards at the Battle of the Bulge, would well remember if he had not passed away some 10 years back.   

Greatest Generation is gone with few exceptions....

Stevie is so damn good.

[President Johnson]

Usually I'm not that thrilled about German language songs, but that one is great.

Men of No Property: Rubber Bullets

US Local Police departments are using weapons of war deployed against the Northern Irish Catholic populations in the late '60s/ early '70s by British Army Soldiers!!!

The sight of armored cars, and "non-lethal" weapons such as Tear Gas and Rubber Bullets being deployed against non-violent protesters in the Streets of America, journalists, and even militant protesters makes it absolutely clear that America is not a Democracy in any sense of the word...

There should be an immediate Federal Ban of weapons of war deployed against protesters....

*** IF this doesn't happen nationally we will tear this down city by city, state by state.....***

I strongly suspect that even tactics of police deescalation won't solve the problems, since we saw even in Atlanta GA an unarmed Black Man got shot dead in the back simply for the crime of "running from the cops", because he was allegedly drunk....

[NOVA Green]

Naturally as the BLM Movements expand throughout England, as well as the Internal Colonies of Scotland & Wales....

Time to pull up a classic song from a UK Left-Wing Folk-Rock singer....

Before anyone flames me on this, it is intentional sarcastic talk from an individual well familiar with the Leftist Types who voted fro Brexit, while also condemning using subversion as a means to talk about real issues and history of racism within the UK....

Billy Bragg: Full English Brexit

[GM Team Member and Senator WB]

And still we save a breath for the world,
Life brings up for us all,
United, victorious, the hearts of our nation tonight.

Third Eye Blind - Semi-Charmed Life

[NOVA Green]

The entire War on Drugs has been a complete and abject failure...

Ronald Reagan tried to do a Nixon, and effectively codified the massive assaults against "Drug Dealers" using the full force of Federal and State Assisted Law Enforcement Agencies...

What is meant is that SWAT teams were increasingly deployed to kick in the doors of American Citizens as a result of "no knock warrents".

We had helicopters and National Guard Troops deployed in places like Oregon and California to combat "illegal Marijuana Cultivation" in communities decimated with record unemployment in Southern Oregon and Northern California...

Meanwhile in the Cities we are listening to soundtracks such as in the late '80s/early '90s on the West Coast:

LARD: Drug Raid at 4 AM

[T'Chenka]

The Beatles - Till There Was You (The Music Man cover)

[NOVA Green]

So decided to explore a few newer artists starting to make a name at the time of Mass Demos against Racism and Police Brutality...

Lil Baby... up and coming hit, but def someone to watch esp after hitting #6 on the Billboard Hot 100....

Rolling tracks on wax don't stop....

Had a long argument about what "punk" is. And now I'm listening to this. It's good.
