Take Your War and Stick It Up Your Arse

Take Your War and Stick It Up Your Arse
[2007]
Lyrics & music by William Sollox
Album: War Stories

Number 1 On Neil Young's Web Chart with "Take Your War And Stick It Up Your Arse" !

“To all those who have been voting/listening - a great big thank you. We are hoping to use this to launch a publicity campaign in the UK media. Let's also not forget that, more important than songs going up charts, we can get this war ended as soon as possible. Sollox and The Spooners have been making music for a long time, but the exposure that the www can give them has inspired them to new efforts.

Hmm . . . the title tells you what this one's about. Apologies to our cousins across the Atlantic - English spelling of 'ass' ”.
Take your war and stick it up your arse

Ehi Franco

Ehi Franco
[2019]

La canzone Ehi Franco è stata scritta dal duo Psicantria per raccontare e celebrare la figura di Franco Basagliain occasione dei 40 anni della Legge 180. E’ un brano che racconta quello che Basaglia ha fatto e cosa ha rappresentato per la psichiatria, ripercorrendo le tappe salienti della sua storia e le sue battaglie. Contiene riferimenti anche al mondo di oggi dove siamo iperconnessi, ma purtroppo ancora pieni di pregiudizi.
Ehi Franco sono stati 40 anni forti e intensi

The Dirty Thirty

The Dirty Thirty
[2013]
Lyrics & music by Alun Parry
Album: When The Sunlight Shines

The miners’ strike of 1984-85 was a major industrial action to shut down the British coal industry in an attempt to prevent colliery closures. It was led by Arthur Scargill of the National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) against the National Coal Board (NCB), a government agency. Opposition to the strike was led by the Conservative government of Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, who wanted to reduce the power of the trade unions.

The NUM was divided over the action and many mineworkers, especially in the Midlands, worked through the dispute. Few major trade unions supported the NUM, primarily because of the absence of a vote at national level. Violent confrontations between flying pickets and police characterised the year-long strike, which ended in a decisive victory for the Conservative government and allowed the closure... (Continues)

Le Orme: Gioco di bimba

Le Orme: Gioco di bimba
Nel '73 io sono nato. E oggi ho la sua stessa età quando ha scritto questo racconto. Sono nato ascoltando una lingua dura che pare fatta apposta per dare ordini, in un campo delle donne - Frauenfeld dice che significa questo - ma sono cresciuto mille e più km a sud parlando un'umile lingua meticcia, figlia minore di Zeus e Giove, ma dal profumo d'oriente. Del '73 non ricordo nulla eppure certe immagini sue mi sono familiari: la 850 beige per esempio ce l'aveva mio zio, ed era sempre una festa vederla arrivare: era l'estate. Parole come fotografie virate al rosso dentro gli album rilegati in pelle. E poi il sole. Il sole degli anni '70 che così non l'ho più visto nei decenni a venire. Dice che è sempre lo stesso, devono essere gli occhi ad essere cambiati. Ecco! Forse è solo per questo che ho cominciato a scriverle: per dirle grazie per avermelo fatto rivedere ancora.

American Skin (41 Shots)

American Skin (41 Shots)
Eight minutes, That song is almost eight minutes long. And that's how long it took George Floyd to die with a Minneapolis officer's knee buried into his neck. That's a long time. That's how long he begged for help and said he couldn't breathe. The arresting officer's response was nothing but silence and wait. Then he had no pulse and still it went on.

That goes out to Seattle, to New York, to Miami, to Atlanta, to Chicago, to Dallas, to Philadelphia, to Washington, to Los Angeles, to Asbury Park, to Minneapolis, and to the memory of George Floyd. May he rest in peace.

As we speak, 40 million people are unemployed. 100,000-plus citzens have died from COVID-19, with only the most tepid and unfeeling response from our White House. As of today, our black citizens continue to be killed unnecessarily by our police on the streets of America. And as of this broadcast, the country was on fire and in chaos.

Right On

Right On
(1971)
dal capolavoro di Marvin Gaye, What's Going On, un album che forse sarebbe da aggiungere quasi integralmente nel sito.

Dalle sonorità latine che la distinguono dal sound complessivo dell'album, che si prestava ad essere ascoltato ininterrottamente come una lunghissima canzone, questa Right On è un vero e proprio inno alla pace e all'amore universale.

Hey baby, that's alright people

Spiritual

Spiritual
(2016)

Lo Spiritual ipnotico e frammentato di Jay-Z riflette la disillusione dell’artista. «Dovremmo essere più avanti», ha detto. Il rapper ha finito il pezzo dopo la morte di Michael Brown nel 2014 sapendo «che la sua morte non sarebbe stata l’ultima».

“Io non sono veleno / Sono solo un ragazzo del quartiere che ha alzato le mani / In preda alla disperazione: non sparare”.

22 canzoni per Black Lives Matter da Rolling Stone

On July 7, 2016, Jay Z released the single “spiritual” in response to two separate successive killings of black men in the days prior. Alton Sterling and Philando Castile were murdered by police officers who claimed both men were armed at the time they were killed.

In a statement released with the single, which includes a quote from 19th-century African-American social reformer Frederick Douglass, Jay Z claimed that he had made the track a while ago and never got... (Continues)

Sette lucciole perse nel grano

Sette lucciole perse nel grano
2020

"Sette lucciole perse nel grano", canzone dedicata ai martiri del XX giugno. Testo di Tullio Bugari e musica di Silvano Staffolani.

L'eccidio avvenne il 20 giugno 1944 nella contrada di campagna "Montecappone", alla periferia di Jesi (An) un mese prima della liberazione della città; le vittime furono sette giovani tra i 18 e i 25 anni, cinque di loro residenti nel vicino quartiere di "via Roma" (Armando e Luigi Angeloni, Francesco Cecchi, Alfredo Santinelli, Mario Saveri) e altri due militari lontanti dalle loro case, Enzo Carboni di Sant'Eufemia di Aspromente e Calogero Grasceffo di Agrigento.
Scrive lo storico locale Giuseppe Luconi nel libro “L’anno più lungo”:
“Sono all’incirca le sette di sera: in via Roma, all’altezza dell’edicola del Crocefisso, una trentina di giovani sono seduti avanti casa e discutono sui fatti del giorno. Improvvisamente arrivano tedeschi e fascisti,... (Continues)

Brigitte Bardot: Nue au soleil

Brigitte Bardot: Nue au soleil
In riferimento ai tristi eventi di questo periodo, vorrei sottoporre all'attenzione dei frequentatori di questo sito alcune considerazioni personali, tutte derivanti da fatti realmente accaduti.

- Fino ad ieri era severamente vietato toccarsi le parti basse, oggi è vietato toccarsi il naso.

- Fino ad ieri i bimbi li portava la cicogna, oggi li porta amazon.

- Fino a ieri alunni e maestre guardavano con preoccupazione il soffitto dell’aula che stava per crollare da un momento all’altro, oggi guardano con preoccupazione la connessione internet che sembra stia per crollare da un momento all’altro.

- Fino a ieri, dopo l’arresto, venivano ricoverati nell’infermeria del carcere, oggi vanno direttamente ai domiciliari.

My Name Is Dessie Warren

My Name Is Dessie Warren
[2013]
Lyrics & music by Alun Parry
Album: When The Sunlight Shines

"I got involved with the Shrewsbury Pickets Justice Campaign during the Summer of 2009.
The campaign is the continued fight for an official pardon for the people targeted by the state during the National Building Strike in the 1970's.
Using the Conspiracy Act, never designed or used before to cover trade union activities, the bosses of the construction industry teamed up with the Tory Government to put our people in jail.
One was Ricky Tomlinson, now well known to all as a famous and talented actor.
Another was a working class hero by the name of Des Warren (1937-2004).

Des had a terrible time in prison. They wouldn't give him his own spectacles, or shoes that fit.
They also gave him the “liquid cosh”. This is where the prison service administers drugs to inmates it considers awkward.
Dessie and Ricky insisted,... (Continues)

There in Vietnam

There in Vietnam
1968

The song "There in Viet Nam" (Bubbie Records # 1003) - a country music track that took an anti-war position. It placed a strong emphasis on the contrast between the voting age (21) and the draft age (18).

The narrator also expressed moral and religious opposition to the war, quoting the bible: "thou shall not kill". Yet, she also defended the previous generation's conflict as a just war for freedom: "his daddy fought in World War Two so that we can live in peace".

Released in Midwest City, Oklahoma. Written by B. Willow. Produced by Frank Dell.

Viet Nam
The country anti-war track "Viet Nam" (Green Mountain # GM-101), by the obscure artists Pat Bohlman and Edwin Maderia, expressed the view that the war was harming the US, but it also noted the ongoing peace negotiations in Paris, which the song described as "doing well". The negotiations started in Paris in 1968, and were mainly conducted by Henry Kissinger (National Security Adviser to President Richard Nixon, 1969-1974) and his North Vietnamese counterpart Lê Ðức Thọ.

White Feather

White Feather

Words and music by Amanda Shires
Album: To the Sunset

The idea struck when she experienced “cat calling that’s become okay again,” then expanded to include her thoughts on climate change and capitalism, “but it’s bigger than that,” Shires clarifies. “The song deals with fear and all the ways it discourages the expression of our individual identities. It’s about the walls we put up to protect ourselves and the way those walls become prisons.”

A morte la casa Savoia

A morte la casa Savoia
Versione di Rocco Rosignoli e Davide Giromini



Il due giugno in Italia è la Festa della Repubblica. Un giorno che è solitamente pieno della retorica patriottica che stomaca gli internazionalisti. Ma in fin dei conti, un motivo per festeggiare questo giorno ce l'abbiamo anche noi: è pur sempre il giorno in cui la nostra gente ha deciso di salutare per sempre la feccia regnante. Troppo tardi e troppo educatamente, ma l'ha fatto. Io e Davide oggi non festeggiamo la Repubblica, il nostro tricolore acido è una parodia: festeggiamo la cacciata di un Re.

Single The War Is Over / You Ain't Goin' Nowhere

Anti Vietnam war song "The War Is Over" (RCA Victor # 74-0309) referenced Richard Nixon, criticizing him for ignoring the protesters and prolonging the war. It also noted a protester being killed, which in the case of Michael James Brody Jr. won't make any difference because he will be reborn.
