This one is from Brad Coy, who wanted to tip his hat to pseudonymous commenter Joe Strummer with a Joe Strummer cover of Bob Marley’s Redemption Song.
If I have a favorite Clash tune it’s This is Radio Clash, simply because I like the idea of a pirate satellite. As with pirate radio, the actual capital outlay per independent broadcaster (or publisher) turned out to be much smaller. Ecce sum vivens in saecula saeculorum et habeo claves mortis et inferni. Take that, Dan Rather!
But: Don’t let’s forget that these are the same knuckleheads who brought us Sandanista, so we should close with a more rational kind of psychotic violence, Coolio’s Gangster’s Paradise.
Not all rap sucks, and I’ll watch Michelle Pfeiffer in anything.
You say you want a revolution? What does it sound like?

Brian Brady says:
The underlying tune, from the Coolio track, is Stevie Wonder’s “Pastime Paradise”:
They’ve been spending most their lives
Living in a pastime paradise
They’ve been wasting most their time
Glorifying days long gone behind
They’ve been wasting most their days
In remembrance of ignorance oldest praise
Those lyrics seem awfully appropriate for Unchained

I never knew.
Wicked cool. Coolio fits the scansion better. A complete inversion of Stevie Wonder’s message, though.

On the web we are prone to all types of distraction. I was reading “Customizing your weblog with CSS and PHP: Navigating from post to post” on realestatewebloggin101.com last night (an exciting Sat evening, I know) but we all need to study. At the top of the instructional post it asks “If you click on an individual post in BloodhoundBlog, you’ll see something like this above the headline” -I clicked right through to find my submission in bright Bloodhound lights. As you can imagine it pulled my attention right out of class to watch the three videos. Not sure of the lesson teach, but I’m going to let it soak in.

Ehhh. Sandinista is a great single album release. Unfortunately, it was released as a double album. Such is what happens when you’re fat and old and queuing for the house of lords.
“Knuckleheads” release “Cut the Crap!”

Great post. IMO Redemption Song is one of the greatest songs of all time.
