Down Rodeo

Down Rodeo
(1996)
Album: Evil Empire

Rodeo Drive è la strada dello shopping di Beverly Hills,

“Down Rodeo” was a promotional single by American rock band Rage Against the Machine. The song was intended as the third single from their Evil Empire album, although a domestic single was never released.

The song addresses social inequality between the rich and poor of America, and the simmering class warfare that existed in the band’s home city of Los Angeles following the 1992 Los Angeles Riots. “Down Rodeo” was written just three years after six days of riots were sparked by police violence against minorities in the city. The full lyric must be put into context of the time period and the beating of Rodney King to be understood: “So now I’m rollin' down Rodeo with a shotgun, These people ain’t seen a brown skin man, Since their grandparents bought one”

Genius
Yeah, I'm rollin' down Rodeo with a shotgun

Power
(2024)

Carlotta Sarina, in arte Lotta, è una giovane artista poliedrica e un’attivista per il clima.
Originaria delle colline di Salsomaggiore Terme, si è trasferita a Milano dopo il liceo per studiare musica. Qui, fuori dal Conservatorio, e mossa da una crescente preoccupazione per lo stato del pianeta, ha conosciuto il mondo dell’attivismo ambientale.



POWER sarà lanciata su tutte le piattaforme il 27 maggio notte, dopo il release party organizzato insieme a @planetboumboum e @lamagma_ a Parigi:

A proposito di antisemitismo

L’antisemitismo é manifestazione di, pregiudizio, rancore o di odio verso gli ebrei, espresso anche attraverso teorie cospirative e attribuzione di colpe senza fondamento. Purtroppo di recente l’epiteto antisemita viene usato troppo e a sproposito per respingere qualunque rilievo critico sulla politica dello stato israeliano, anche se lieve e supportato da evidenze indiscutibili. Schematizzando, il corto circuito è il seguente: l’analisi critica verso aspetti della politica e società israeliana viene classificata come antisionismo. A sua volta l’antisionismo viene equiparato tout court all’antisemitismo. Scatta a questo punto il senso di colpa e l’autocensura della comunità o del singolo malcapitato raggiunti dall’epiteto antisemita:... (continuer)

Digwell Carol

Digwell Carol
[1989]
Lyrics and music / Testo e musica / Paroles et musique / Sanat ja sävel: Leslie Fish
Album / Albumi: Firestorm - Songs of the Third World War

The song is a small piece of science fiction masquerading as a traditional song about what initially sounds like a pagan festival. Imagining a kind of peasantry that's survived the nuclear holocaust, the song is a "carol" for a holiday in which all of the corpses and dead crops from radiation sickness are piled in a ceremonial mound to "keep the devil down."

By the end of the song, it is revealed that the "devil" is the word for the powerful people who've retreated to underground bunkers, and that by heaping the dead on top of the doors to the bunkers, they'll be kept in "hell."
It is the time of Digwell, now Summer's gone away

Forever Chemical

"Forever Chemicals (more accurately known as PFAS, per-and polyfluorinated alkyl substances) are everywhere. In your blood, in your water, in your pets, and in your taco wrappers.

We need to work together to find and correct the sources of PFAS contamination around the world. This will take years of research with support from our federal government in the US and governments around the world. You can educate yourself on PFAS, contact your local, state, and federal governments and express your concern and your support for researching, regulating, and cleaning up these "forever chemicals".

Le sostanze per- e polifluoroalchiliche (PFAS, o PFOA, o PFOS) sono composti chimici con forti proprietà tensioattive. Introdotti in ambito militare negli anni 40, per la loro capacità di fornire alle superfici idro e oleorepellenza, negli anni '70... (continuer)

Oh Dolours

Oh Dolours
2024

"Oh Dolours" is an ode to Dolours Price, a radical feminist and volunteer in the Irish Republican Army. It's an exploration of the sacrifices people make in the name of liberation, and what kinds of compromises are actually worth the cost — particularly for women, who face sexist double standards even in militant resistance. We recruited the singers from Indoor Friends to join us in the third verse, to make sure that women's voices were actually heard.

Commercio di armi

Il 26 Gennaio 2023 alla trasmissione “L’aria che tira” su La 7 il ministro Crosetto dichiarava:
[…] Noi ci siamo resi disponibili a dare delle armi che non attaccassero i russi ma difendessero dagli attacchi missilistici. Quindi daremo un sistema di difesa che consenta agli ucraini di abbattere i missili prima che arrivino al suolo. Che mi pare sia una cosa difficilmente criticabile. Io non riesco a criticare un aiuto dato a una popolazione per difendersi da un missile che cade su una scuola, un condominio o una centrale elettrica”. Quanto ai “droni fuori sacco” se fosse una notizia vera “sarebbe un reato perché il ministero della Difesa e lo Stato non ne sono a conoscenza e quindi se fosse vera qualcuno dovrebbe finire...

Album: JPEG RAW

Il titolo della canzone, come ha spiegato uno dei suoi co-autori, il giornalista culturale Sama’an Ashrawi, “Maktub”—scritto in arabo come مكتوب— è "un tipo di destino per il quale devi lavorare, un cammino attraverso il cosmo con un lieto fine solo se rimani sulla giusta via."

Trovo che sia una canzone bellissima che giustamente è stata accostata a capolavori come Get Up, Stand Up o Move On Up di Curtis Mayfield.

Merry Old England

Merry Old England
(2024)
Album: All Quiet On The Eastern Esplanade

The people who travel here and risk life and limb to come to England and try and make a life for themselves is something we spend quite a lot of time talking about. A lot of these people are trained doctors, they speak four or five languages. It’s not that I’m pro-illegal immigration, I’ve just got this thing against borders. It’s very easy to create fear and anger and hostility about people.

Pete Doherty

*

Le persone che viaggiano fino a qui e rischiano la vita per venire in Inghilterra e cercare di costruirsi una vita sono un argomento di cui parliamo spesso. Molti di queste persone sono medici qualificati, parlano quattro o cinque lingue.

Non è che io sia a favore dell'immigrazione illegale, semplicemente ho qualcosa contro i confini. È molto facile creare paura, rabbia e ostilità nei confronti delle persone senza ragione.

"This is a love story that has never truly ended: the love between a part of Italy and fascism.

It is just as when an old couple meets again after long time, one sparkle is enough to revive the (strictly tricolor) flame, and to have it burning vigorously like in past times.

This time, the sparkle is a woman. A mother and a Christian.

I wish you a good Liberation Day. Forever."

Lettera del compagno Lazlo al colonnello Valerio

Lettera del compagno Lazlo al colonnello Valerio
Anonimo Toscano del XXI Secolo, 28-4-2024 23:10

“La cosa veramente divertente è che c’è stato un tempo in cui i fascisti erano più autentici, più spavaldi, erano leoni, anche se solo per un giorno. Rivendicavano la loro identità senza paura di essere accusati di essere traditori e assassini della patria. Oggi, invece, hanno paura di definirsi, di rivendicare la loro fede”, scrive l’attore, che è anche direttore artistico del concertone del Primo Maggio di Taranto, nel post. E poi, si legge ancora: “Tradiscono la loro identità giurando sulla Costituzione antifascista e poi per stare seduti sulla poltrona diventano campioni della super Cazzola, cintura nera di arrampicata sugli specchi”. Infine: “Lo dico sinceramente: non ci sono più i fascisti di una volta. Solo pecore. Ecco cosa sono i fascisti di ieri che sono diventati i governanti di oggi. Meglio una vita da pecora che un giorno da leoni. Viva la Resistenza”. - Michele Riondino, 28 aprile 2024.

War Isn’t Murder
(2024)

The song’s message is direct and harsh, as highlighted by its title, “War Isn’t Murder.” However, it’s full of lyrical wordplay of the kind that someone who has been doing this a while usually comes up with. The whole idea of the song is to needle at the semantics that people use to discuss and paper over the nature of combat.

Lyrics and music / Testo e musica / Paroles et musique / Sanat ja sävel: Shawn Corey Carter (Jay-Z)
Album: 4:44

In the summer of 2017, Jay-Z dropped his thirteenth studio album 4:44 to near-rapturous fan reception and critical praise. The project was Jay’s most vulnerable and intimate to date, with the title track famously confirming allegations of infidelity mentioned on his wife Beyoncé’s 2016 opus Lemonade. However, LP standout track “The Story Of O.J.” was less personal and more societal, as the Jigga Man addressed racism and stereotypes within the black community with his signature incisiveness.

“The Story Of O.J.” features lyrics referencing infamous figure O.J. Simpson and his alleged belief that his wealth and influence transcended his race. “I’m not black, I’m O.J.” is a line rumored to have been uttered by Simpson in an interview, and it was quoted in the Emmy-winning... (continuer)

I Am Sold and Going to Georgia

American Folksongs of Protest by John Greenway

p. 95-96

This song is usually sung by the chained gangs of slaves who are on their way, being driven from Maryland, Virginia, and Kentucky, to the more southern states for sale. The last line of each verse is the chorus, and gives a most impressive effect when sung—as it often is— by 60 or 150 voices echoing the plaintive grief of their hearts. This last line is intended as an appeal to all who have it in their power to aid in bringing about the jubilee of emancipation. -J. W. C. Pennington, D.D. Despite Dr. Pennington's contemporary affidavit that this is a Negro song, most observers will agree that its white origin is transparent; but it is worth including, if only for Dr. Pennington's intriguing phrase, "sung ... by 60 or 150 voices."
O! When shall we poor souls be free?

Lomax wrote:” Sung by the cross-eyed prisoner whose mates had named him Tangle-Eye. Every good singer in the Pen has his own field holler with which he amuses himself in reflective moments. Often those tunes are kin to the blues, often they are composed of free yodeling tunes which seem to have African roots. The wild free melodies permit the singers literally to think and free associate out loud. The holler is, for me, the most expressive style in all our folklore. Tangle-Eye here tells his own story.”
Genius

“Tangle Eye Blues” is Tangle Eye’s personal story of incarceration, religion, and repentance. Based on his singing style, we can infer that this may have once been a gospel song that was popular amongst African American churches... (continuer)
