This Losing Game

This Losing Game
[2004]
Lyrics & Music by Tracy Jane Comer
Album: Quietly There

An anti-war song, written on Memorial Day 2004… "I was pondering both Memorial Day and Father's Day, so close together...
…and thinking of all the families that have to be apart now because of the war". -Tracy J. Comer.


"Tracy Jane Comer's song "This Losing Game" is a thoughtful, well-produced and haunting anti-war song, worthy of the great Joan Baez or Joni Mitchell. Come to think of it, Tracy Jane’s voice is just as powerful and clear as those ladies as well. This is a wonderful work and worthy of a good listen. -International Acoustic Music Awards, January 2005-
A balanced flashlight just illuminates the page

Exit Strategy ou La retraite victorieuse

Chanson française – Exit Strategy ou La retraite victorieuse – Marco Valdo M.I. – 2012

D'habitude, je le sais bien, Lucien l'âne mon ami, j'ai toujours l'air de me traîner dans le temps et d'avoir un regard sur le passé. D'abord, c'est vrai... Je scrute le passé, mais pour comprendre et le passé et le présent. Ce dernier découlant du précédent... Il y a dans tout ça, ce qu'on appelle le paradoxe temporel. Je te l'explique ou je te le rappelle. Le passé n'est plus, le futur n'est pas encore et le présent est déjà passé au moment où j'en parle ; bref, il n'est nulle part et pourtant, c'est lui qui fait les deux autres et toutes nos existences. En fait, on est dans un présent continu qui s'appelle la vie... Elle a toujours un début et toujours une fin. Je vois à ton œil noir fluorescent que tu te demandes où donc je vais pouvoir encore t'emmener...

Just a Few Questions

Just a Few Questions
[2002]
Lyrics & Music by Evan Herzoff
Album: Disillusioning [2010]

A song about the legitimate questions rarely heard in mainstream media about all 9/11s. There was one in 1973 in Chile, one in 1988 in Haiti and more, and the song reflects on the war crimes and terror that always seem to follow these 9/11 tragedies..

"I wrote this song originally in 2002 and then revised it in 2009. The song was inspired by journalists like Greg Palast, Amy Goodman, John Pilger and Robert Fisk, as well as the documentary filmmaker Michael Moore, all of whom asked tough questions and did exhaustive investigations into not only 9/11 but the state terrorism that followed.

It is all too often we hear only about our own 9/11, however there were many 9/11s. There was 9/11/88 in Haiti, 9/11/90 in Guatemala, and 9/11/73 in Chile. In all of these the US spy agencies' allies in those countries committed atrocities,... (Continues)

To Afghan War Escalation We Say NO

To Afghan War Escalation We Say NO
"Pictures and footage, in this video, are all from my camera and they are from various anti-war demonstrations in recent months, held in Denver, Colorado in 2009. Some pictures are from an anti-war demonstration in 2005 (black & white).

The music is a little homemade improvised piece I call "Jamming with myself". To record the rhythm and lead guitar I actually placed my camera, switched to the audio feature, about a foot in front of my little practice amp. For the lead guitar wah sound I ran the signal through a Cry Baby wah pedal. Then I smoothed out the sound using the processing software on my laptop, added a little compression and reverb, then I composed the drums and bass using MIDI software instruments".

"That's precisely how I see myself - fighting off, instead of the U.S. Cavalry, boredom and ‎oppression.” […] “I'm making my case quite clear that this is my land and I'm not gonna surrender ‎it easily. I'm sick of damn big businesses just burning up everything, destroying the food, ‎destroying the sea, polluting the air. You know, I've got an actual birthright to these things - I'm ‎damned if I'm gonna surrender it lightly." (John Lydon in due interviste rilasciate su BAM e MTV ‎nel 1989)‎

Rise

Rise
‎[1986]‎
Album “Album” (!)‎

La più famosa canzone dei PiL aveva originariamente come sottotitolo “South African Song” ‎perché il testo traeva spunto dall’oppressione dellla maggioranza nera nel Sudafrica dell’apartheid ‎per trasferirsi poi alla realtà quotidiana nella “perfida Albione” dell’epoca.‎

‎“I read this manual on South African interrogation techniques, and 'Rise' is quotes from some of the ‎victims. I put them together because I thought it fitted in aptly with my own feelings about daily ‎existence.” (da un’intervista a John Lydon pubblicata su “Smash Hits” del febbraio 1986)‎

Il fatto che la famosa, delirante clip del brano con questo significato non c’entri pressochè nulla, ‎non vuol dire niente… E’ il punk (anche se post-), bellezza!‎

Speaking Fantasy

Speaking Fantasy
[2010]
Lyrics & Music by Evan Herzoff
Album: Disillusioning

A strong song about cultural accumulation, forced assimilation, and the psychological warfare of colonialism.
The Bureau of Indian Affairs, the militia, the Smithsonian, the boarding schools, the Philadelphia exposition and Chicago World's Fair, and the society imposed by European occupiers of Turtle Island have almost completed that which created space for the behavior and ambitions of the German Nationalists during World Wars I and II, namely a holocaust.

Part of this has been a kind of psychological warfare that works to the effect of erasing the memory of entire populations, to recreate them as inevitably defeated and seemingly self-evident inferiors, thereby justifying visibly, though not morally nor factually, the existence of a created creed, ethnicity, and nationality we now identify as "American". It is as though... (Continues)
