More Political Songs on the Music Blog

Over on the music blog during the past week, I’ve posted a couple of Chumbawamba videos and also an anti-war video by a Persian ska band called the Abjeez.  That’s the most overtly political stuff.  There are other songs that might have some politics in them but I don’t really know because I would need a translation for the lyrics.  Actually, a couple of those songs are technically in English, but they contain some very fast rapping by a young working class Brit who uses so much slang, she makes the average M.I.A. song sound like an English dissertation.  And I’ve let a little more politics creep into my comments here and there as the “music blog” is becoming a bit more than just a music blog, but at the same time I’m still having too much fun over there to spend as much time in my Commie Curmudgeon role as I once did…
