Revolution - if I was a top knotch poet.

Hey spinners - revolution - Session

Interestingly last months - Muslim theme may have had a number of songs that could translate into this theme. A short spell at the Hokitika airport to make my revolution noises known.

1 Linton Kwesi Johnson
This fulla has revolution in his bones it runs across more than the song titles - Deeper.
A quick look and I find this book -

So the song well I am alway keen on a new LKJ listen  "Blame it on the working class it is"

2 Stiff Little Fingers - Reflecting the need for something different. Beyond the troubles - Beyond the walls. Again a band looking around them  at the Belfast Peace Walls. Revolution --- Alternative

 
3 "Fight the power/ We've got to fight the powers that be." It glares at the oppressive systems in place dead on. - Found this in protest songs and thinking protest songs is a neutered revolution.

Aight - Rap tracks

I am having a crack at responding to each months theme in a blog post. It will be limited to 3 tracks and 10 mins to create. 2 on theme 1 just Hot.

Rap 1

David Dallas - Don't Flinch
This is New Zealand and a look into the hard man's Psychi
Chosen - because it creates a picture , relates a character - lays it out there

2.
Ice-Cube No Vasaline - Diss track the cube takes it to his old band NWA. Like the way he gets on a roll with the take down - Probably tracks that reflect more honestly what was happening at the time see Staight outa Compton - Rodney King etc

3. Ok So this track isn't RAP . Putting aside 1 selection each month for a track of Choice.
Came across this Track by Peter Tosh for the first time last month.
The lyrics are sublime in my mind especially the last line.
Give me back me land, me language and culture.
