The Walkmen - In the new Year

Here it is. Finally the new single from the new album You & Me. The release album date will be August, 9. I always love two or three songs from The Walkmen albums. The others are ok. Two of them are "The rat" and "Another one goes by". This "In the New Year" single is full of dramatic flair and the vocal is as usual a Indie Rod Stewart style. Since I eard The Walkmen for the first time I always imagined Rod Stewart singing Indie and he would sound like Hamilton Leithauser. Can't wait for the "You & Me".

I'm sorry democracy is changing

No I am not on a strike neither a fight. I was just parsing my old music and "faced" this Democracy from Killing Joke. I ever took Killing Joke into consideration since I saw their great concert in my home town along with my favourite band ever - Pixies. That was a remarkable concert I will never forget. How could one forget such a power energy from both bands, specially from Killing Joke. And their killing more than ever in the moment this world is living in. There are facts. I am not struggling against nothing except perhaps against myself and the climate change. But this joke that kills as been warning us for sometime. Take a look into their Europe lyrics from Europe album in 1996. Is or not true? Is it good or bad? Well you may judge. Take a listen to if you want. Remember: always better with good quality headphones!

You have a choice, we are your voice
Red, blue or yellow.
We will blow away the green
Another five lane motorway
(You'll never get a referendum anyway)
Funny handshakes. insider dealing
Et in arcadia. arcadia ego
Backhanders and salamanders
A powerhouse that is morally
Mechula

I'm sorry democracy is changing
I'm sorry democracy is changing

I'm not a slogan or a badge
Or a cross in the ballot box
Neither values or objectives
You do not represent my deepest
Thoughts and wishes
Education in obsolete skills
Stereotyping and media projection
Industrial psychologists
Plan a campaign that is financed by
Big business

You have a choice, we are your voice
Red, blue or yellow.
We will blow away the green
Another five lane motorway
(You'll never get a referendum anyway)
