I had to revise the background of my site due to the slowness of opening and freezing of the site. I will continue to fiddle with it when I have time, which I don't really have right now due to school. For tonight's post, I debated the upload of this single due to the recent violent acts in Arizona and then California today. But ultimately I am uploading it as I think there is a strong message behind this song. Listen to it and make your conclusion. My conclusion is that this person chooses an irrational manner (violence) to deal with issues. Yes, this is a simplistic view but it relates to the irrational acts making news. I believe our country needs more awareness to mental health needs, and we need to spend more money on Mental Health intervention. Just read the President Commission on Mental Health from July 2003 www.mentalhealthcommission.gov as well as the NAIM reports http://www.nami.org/ regarding MH....Educate yourself and advocate for those in need.
I became a huge fan of the New Zealand bands during the 80's and 90s. If you become a follower of my blog you will eventually notice quite a few bands, such as the Chills, Bats, Cakekitchen, ect will be featured. I will start the Kiwi explosion with Bailter Space. I found out about this powerful heavy band and bought this vinyl lp new.
I did not appreciate the Jam when I first heard them. Luckily I was forced to listen to them as a friend liked them and they grew on me. This song was huge in the UK but never did anything in the states. Matter of fact, the Jam never achieved the fame here in the states they deserved.
I first fell in love with Seam after picking up their Homestead 45. I have decided to upload this brilliant song off the amazing 1993Touch and Go LP The Problem With Me. I bought this brand spankin new when it came out and could not stop listening to it.
I will probably get on a schedule to do this blog every other day as school starts again on Saturday and I am taking a break from my required readings for this weekend. I have no clue who Earthpig was or if they released anything else. All I know is that I really like this 45. It was on the SOL (Singles Only Label) which was Bob Mould of Husker Du's label. At one point I think I had everything on the label but over the years have only kept the ones I really really liked.
