Music break: Protester edition

So 'the protester' made it as Time's person of the year. Only one track came to mind. The music is courtesy of Anti Social Workers and the Mad man himself.

I like to think, as CUNY's Peter Hitchcock once wrote, that if Marx had been around in our lifetime he would have formulated his eleventh thesis to state that the role of the philosopher is not interpret the world but to dub it.

This is one of my favorite with Miles. It's awesome how Miles just gets in there right at the onset. Enjoy and stay cool.

The news out of the White House last night contains all the elements to give rise to a lasting conspiracy theory. Mind you, I'm not into that stuff at all. However, whenever I hear about such stories I think about this great track by DXT. It contains samples of a guy rambling on about the supposed invasion of a handful of California communities back in the early 1950s by a squad under the covert command of the United Nations. The story has now found a home in the tired and annoying NWO litany that permeates the internet. As it turns out, the story is from a sci-fi novel or something.

Enjoy the music but don't spend too much time digging into the inspiration for the track. Go biking or sailing instead.

Can't think of a better track with the word oil in the title. Thank you Pato Banton.

All this talk of protest and revolution reminds me of the tune by Brooklyn Funk Essentials "The revolution was postponed because of rain":
