New Order - True Faith

YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.

Anybody remember the version I posted on the FSP forum waaaaaaay back in Ought Five?   

I feel so extraordinary
Something's got a hold on me
I get this feeling I'm in motion
A sudden sense of liberty
I don't care 'cause I'll soon be there
And I don't care if I'm here tomorrow
Again and again they've taken too much
Of the things that cost me too much

I used to think that the day would never come
I'd see delight in the dawning New Hampshire sun
My greater freedom's the drug that brings me near
(Although my friends and family all think I'm queer)
I used to think that the day would never come
That my life would depend on New Hampshire sun...

When I was a very small girl,
Californians talked to me
Now that we've grown up together
They're afraid of what they see
That's the price that we all pay
Their use of free will comes to nothing
I can't tell you where they're going
I guess there's just no way of knowing

I used to think that the day would never come
When I could drive to the market with my gun
My greater freedom's the drug that brings me near
(I really hope that I never hit a deer)
I used to think that the day would never come
That I could drive to the market with my gun...

I feel so extraordinary
Something's got a hold on me
I get this feeling I'm in motion
A sudden sense of liberty
The chances are we've gone too far
We're giving it all our time and money
In New Hampshire we'll make our stand
Against a government so demanding

I used to think that the day would never come
When I'd think shovelling snow might actually be fun
My greater freedom's the drug that brings me near
(That, and the thought of all that microbrewed beer)
I used to think that the day would never come
That I'd be shovelling snow as a form of fun...

The Flowbots - We Are Winning

R.I.P. Doug Fieger 

the Knack - My Sharona

YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.

[Lloyd Danforth]

I wake up a bunch of times every night.  I find if I leave the radio on faintly, just trying to concentrate on it puts me back to sleep. WTIC, a CT station sorta comes in clear. They end that weird coast to coast show with this unusual rendition of 'Somewhere Over The Rainbow'
I wanted to hear it when I was awake so I went to their website and found it.  It was recorded by this enormous Hawaiian Guy, Israel (something unpronounceble) who was, apparently, some sort of institution on the island, but died fairly young. The youtube I found looks like a tribute in his memory. Damn near made me cry watching it.

It's pronounced just like it's spelled.

Yeah, it's pretty awesome. I love Brudda Iz and his music.

Oh!  Wojahowitz!

[KBCraig]

It's pronounced "kah-mah-kah-vee voh-oh-lay".

The syllables are easy, it's the rhythm of stringing them together that can throw you off.

(Edit: wow, that was a stupid typo!)

[K. Darien Freeheart]

This.

Yeah, it's pretty awesome. I love Brudda Iz and his music.

My Marxist friend informed me that he was, probably a victim of Spam that the fed guv introduced to Hawaii.
He added that the guy put it in his mouth himself, so, either the reality of life, or, myself are  having an effect on him.

Another Coast to Coast listener? I find such humor listening to them. Good music too (I've loved that song since a friend played it in a talent show in high school). Too bad the crazy conspiracy theories and music have decreased in quality since Art Bell left. Some of the songs are difficult to find like the one that goes a "a boom boom boom".

Llllloyd, if you're on a Bruddah Iz kick, you'll love this one:

Bruddah Iz ~ White Sandy Beach

"Shark!" 

He was a true maestro on the ukulele, with jazz chording, alternative tunings, and arpeggios. He was also a funny mudder fudder. He was also the face of the Hawaiian independence movement. He didn't hate the haoles, he just thought Hawaiians should be able to govern themselves (what a radical concept!)

Miles From Nowhere - Cat Stevens

Miles from nowhere
I guess I'll take my time
Oh yeah, to reach there

Look up at the mountain
I have to climb
Oh yeah, to reach there.

Lord my body has been a good friend
But I won't need it when I reach the end

Miles from nowhere
Guess I'll take my time
Oh yeah, to reach there

I creep through the valleys
And I grope through the woods
'cause I know when I find it my honey
It's gonna make me feel good

I love everything
So don't it make you feel sad
'cause I'll drink to you, my baby
I'll think to that, I'll think to that.

Miles from nowhere
Not a soul in sight
Oh yeah, but it's alright

I have my freedom
I can make my own rules
Oh yeah, the ones that I choose

Lord my body has been a good friend
But I won't need it when I reach the end

Miles from nowhere
I Guess I'll take my time
Oh yeah, to reach there.
