happy sexy awesome Obama day everyone!

FINALLY.

now, there are plenty of patriotic songs floating the internets in honour of this glorious day, but I am going to post something different. something that is sexy and awesome, like PRESIDENT OBAMA.

may I present...

my favourite Clash song.

THE CLASH - ROCK THE CASBAH [mp3]

calling all American readers:

watch this video. I hope you're already registered, if not, I hope this helps sway you. Sarah Silverman is so great.



I know this is a music blog, but this election is huge. you have musicians backing Obama everywhere you turn

anyhow, go out. rock the vote.

The National lend their song for a goosebump inducing Obama ad.

no, I am not jumping on the Obama bandwagon. as you can see from my dA journal post from February of '07, I've been keeping my eye on Obama for a long time.

anyways, watch the video that includes The National's "Fake Empire" below. go out and vote and change the world.

Coldplay streaming Viva la Vida

the album is set for a June 17th release.

Last FM announced its first series of live music events in the US, in a partnership with The Bowery Presents, New York’s largest independent concert promotion company. Fleet Foxes and Lightspeed Champion are the first artists to play the Last FM & Bowery Presents co-promoted US concerts, kicking off a series of stateside live music events for Last FM.

Stevie Wonder and Bob Dylan have joined the ranks of musicians endorsing Barack Obama. I expect more musicians to follow suit, seeing as how Obama has now secured the Democratic nomination.

I've discovered a new band I like, a pop punk act from NY called The Bloodsugars. Visit them on MYSPACE
