Weekly 11/5/12

Because election day is tomorrow, I decided that this week I would make a mix of song that deal with political themes in some way shape or form. I know that this can be a messy issue, and I'm sure to some this sounds like the most boring possible subject matter for a mix, but like it or not politics affects us all. These songs don't necessarily represent my personal political beliefs, but I feel they deal with issues and ideas pertaining to politics in a powerful, thought provoking way. 

1. Pedro the Lion - "Simple Economics"

2. Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young - "Ohio"

3. Radiohead - "2+2=5"

4. Godspeed You Black Emperor - "The Dead Flag Blues"

5. Joy Division - "Candidate"

6. Pink Floyd - "Us and Them"

7. LCD Soundsystem - "North American Scum"

8. Pedro the Lion - "Indian Summer" (I really like Pedro the Lion..)

9. Jimi Hendrix - "Machine Gun"

10. Charles Bradley & Menahan Street Band - "The World (Is Going Up In Flames)"
