Oh how the panic dwells within and threatens to destroy.

Occupy the music

Now I love the Occupy movement. Although I think that in some places like Oakland it has gotten a bit out of hand, I still absolutely love it and I wish that I had the time (and money) to go and participate.
Besides the message however, I also love the music that has come out of this movement. One of the things I always complain about to my father is that he was alive and active during the 70s when all of the anti-establishment folk songs were popular and I completely missed all of them (on a contrasting note I think that LBJ is one of our most under-appreciated presidents who did NOT deserve all the hate that he got thrown his way). This is most likely why I love such songs as Run From The Gun by Dead Confederate. Now, I have found this absolute gem coming from the Occupy Seattle camp that makes me so happy that there are some very talented people out there making beautiful music for a great cause. 
This guy is just amazing and I just wanna listen to it over, and over, and over again.

Up-up-update

What I'm reading right now:  "American Gods" by Neil Gaiman (as soon as I can find it again) and "Life, the Universe, and Everything" by Douglas Adams


What I'm listening to on repeat:  A very catchy song called "Down with the Trumpets" by a relatively unknown Hip Hop group called Rizzle Kicks. Now I'm not really one for rapping unless I'm at a school dance or tearing it off presents of Christmas morning, I normally just stick to music where actual melodies are the order of the day. However, these two guys perfectly blend their low-difficulty singing with high-difficulty rap skills and their music has just gotten to me.
And hasn't given my poor brain any rest for a week.
