the single best V for Vendetta music video ever

Posted on by

Period.

Rage Against the Machine’s “Wake Up” and V for Vendetta.

There are a lot of good videos out there, but I like this because of its perfect timing, its perfect philosophical match with the film, and because it doesn’t give away the whole fucking plot like most of them.

Come on!
Uggh!

Come on, although ya try to discredit
Ya still never read it
The needle, I’ll thread it
Radically poetic
Standin’ with the fury that they had in ’66
And like E-Double I’m mad
Still knee-deep in the system’s shit
Hoover, he was a body remover
I’ll give ya a dose
But it can never come close
To the rage built up inside of me
Fist in the air, in the land of hypocrisy

Movements come and movements go
Leaders speak, movements cease
When their heads are flown
‘Cause all these punks
Got bullets in their heads
Departments of police, the judges, the feds
Networks at work, keepin’ people calm
You know they went after King
When he spoke out on Vietnam
He turned the power to the have-nots
And then came the shot

Yeah!
Yeah, back in this…
Wit’ poetry, my mind I flex
Flip like Wilson, vocals never lackin’ dat finesse
Whadda I got to, whadda I got to do to wake ya up
To shake ya up, to break the structure up
‘Cause blood still flows in the gutter
I’m like takin’ photos
Mad boy kicks open the shutter
Set the groove
Then stick and move like I was Cassius
Rep the stutter step
Then bomb a left upon the fascists
Yea, the several federal men
Who pulled schemes on the dream
And put it to an end
Ya better beware
Of retribution with mind war
20/20 visions and murals with metaphors
Networks at work, keepin’ people calm
Ya know they murdered X
And tried to blame it on Islam
He turned the power to the have-nots
And then came the shot

Uggh!
What was the price on his head?
What was the price on his head!

I think I heard a shot
I think I heard a shot
I think I heard a shot
I think I heard a shot
I think I heard a shot
I think I heard, I think I heard a shot

‘He may be a real contender for this position should he
abandon his supposed obediance to white liberal doctrine
of non-violence…and embrace black nationalism’
‘Through counter-intelligence it should be possible to
pinpoint potential trouble-makers… and neutralize them.
Through counter-intelligence it should be possible to
pinpoint potential trouble-makers… and neutralize them
and neutralize them, and neutralize them, and neutralize them’

Wake up! Wake up! Wake up! Wake up!
Wake up! Wake up! Wake up! Wake up!

How long? Not long, cause what you reap is what you sow

V for alliteration

Posted on by

The man just does not stop! After that dynamite alliterative intro he keeps the magic alive in all his public speeches, and I hadn’t even noticed until cruising through YouTube. Of course you know that alliterative verse was popular with the Vikings…you can connect the dots, right? Did you know that the last alliterative verse drama performed in England was written by JRR Tolkien? And it’s not half bad, either.

But, frankly, it’s not this good.

from Anton Sledgehammer, who are, if I am any judge of landscape, a Vancouver organization. They could probably sell this thing at Art Knapp’s for twice what they’re asking.

because Barry is a very, very smart boy. And he knows some awesome animation artists, too. This is a short political video for the Knife Party in the UK, but it is primarily about how TWAT (or GWOT, if you prefer) became institutionalized, and where it’s going. And here‘s a little link from Mistress Cowfish to Bill Kristol’s New American Century project. You remember William Kristol, don’t you? He was the neocon once known as Dan Quayle’s Brain. Helluva reputation to live down, eh?

I stole this from Cold Desert! But I left them some Zombies as payment. Don’t nobody not like zombies!

Aim for the head!

hyperbole o’ the day: Fark it out, bitch!

You really do have to admire the Farkers. If it were not for the divine glory that pours from their keyboards, would anyone ever have looked at this?

The worst imaginable cover of Europe’s The Final Countdown – this makes you pray for nuclear armageddon just to burn the tears of laughter off your face. I’m not kidding.

And seriously, he was not kidding.
