Obama Unveils Aggressive ‘Hope Preservation Plan’

Denver, CO-Speaking before an audience at the University of Colorado at Boulder, the likely Democratic presidential candidate outlined an ambitious plan to restore the country’s depleting hope reserves, which he claimed were ‘devastatingly low.’During the speech, Obama made clear his intentions to implement a fourteen point plan which would include comprehensive ‘happy care’ for every citizen, a policy of turning frowns upside down, and equal access to cotton candy for every American. “For the last eight years citizens of this, the greatest country in the world, have suffered through a never-ending war, an ever weakening economy, and an administration that has refused needed medicine to it’s own countrymen”, he went on to explain that, ” by medicine, I off course am referring to the best medicine of all, laughter.”The crowd seemed to eat up every last word of Obama’s twenty-minute speech in which he criticized the current administrations policies. “Since this administration has taken office, America has seen euphoria, enthusiasm and half-fullitiveness dip below an unprecedented twenty percent.” he went on to say that “this is unacceptable and, if elected, under my plan not only make will I make hope go green, but I will make it profitable to do so.” At this point in the speech Obama brought out machines that shot “hope” dogs into the crowd.While Obama did not go into any detail on how his Hope Preservation Plan was going to get the US out of Iraq, or strengthen its economy, the attendees seemed pleased with his speech. ” He gave me this T-Shirt,” exclaimed Mike Gange, a 25-year-old city college student who was referring to a shirt giving out during the rally with the words ” Don’t say Nope to Hope” displayed across the front.Many critics of Obama’s pointed to this, his latest speech, as being consistent with a pattern of vapid, repetitive rhetoric that, ultimately, offers no solutions to any of the problems that America, or the world at large, faces today. ” Obama is a great showmen,” said Colorado Republican chairman Richard Hamswad,” but his brilliant theatrics in no way equate to brilliant politics,” he said,” I just don’t understand how chanting ‘ice cream Mondays’ would persuade anyone to vote for him.”Depending on which poll you trust, Obama either has a gigantic lead or a small one, but anyone who had attended this rally would rightly assume that McCain has no chance in hope. While Senator Barack Obama did not make himself available to answer questions after his speech, his representatives assured the press that he would answer any question after his speech at the Hope-o-caust museum in Washington D.C. next week, we can only assume that means the Holocaust Museum.

Marvin The Human & DJ Jack Nimble

The worlds smartest man is a fitting name for this blog granted that a good amount of the new music posted here is from over seas. This week check out Marvin from UK. He has been in the UK rap scene for awhile now, originally going as Marvin the Martian in the rap crew Why Lout. He just released his new disc called “Devil in the distance” which is pretty cool from what I have heard so far. The tracks today are from a mix he put out a while back. It is quite common in the UK for rappers to build a fan base by releasing free remix album before their original album. If you like these tracks you can download the entire 29 track mix here.

Bonus points for guessing what songs he remixed! Stay tuned next week for some electronic music from Japan.

Enjoy-

Listen to Mystery Jets - Young Love

This week the song comes for the Mystery Jets hailing from the UK. They area young band with a lot of energy and the ability to write some catchy hooks and channel the 80 more successfully than many of today’s throw back bands while still sounding fresh. The track “young love” appears on their new album called “twenty one” and features the awesome female vocals of Laura Marling, a talented singer/songwriter in her own right. This track has out a smile on my face the last couple of weeks, so I hope you enjoy it.

Also check out a fun remix by The Shoes:

Jealous Jesus

Hey, how’s it going? I just thought I would drop a line and see what you were up to. Didn’t mean to surprise you or anything I just haven’t seen or heard from you for a while. So what have you been up to? JK, I know exactly what you have been up to and guess what: I-don’t-like-it. Don’t worry though, I forgive you, maybe.

I just feel like we don’t talk or visit anymore and I don’t know why. I know about your new job, you think I don’t know that. I helped you get that job, and one of the main reasons I did was so you would have time to stop by my place on Sundays, which has yet to happen. Is it me? I don’t think so, cause I haven’t changed much, same old savior that BLED on the CROSS for you, same old JC that reigns over heaven in eternal wisdom and love. Don’t be fooled by the flocks that I got, I’m still, I’m Still JC from the top.

You think you’re clever, you think I don’t notice the way you have been looking for answers elsewhere lately. I will tolerate a little promiscuous piousness here and there but you are crossing the line. Why is it so hard for you to believe in me? It didn ‘t used to be. What’s so great about these new friends of yours? What do Steve and Phil have that I don’t? I know for a fact that they don’t care for me and what really hurts is that it doesn’t seem to bother you. If you like them so much why don’t you worship them? No, go ahead and build a little place, a chapel for Steve and Phil, and then every Sunday you can go to your Steve and Phil church and thank them for all that they have sacrificed for you.

You think I will care, but I won’t. I can replace you in a heartbeat. There’s millions of people who would love to worship at my feet and millions more who already do. So go have fun with your false idols but don’t come crawling back to me when you need help with your job, or your love life, or when your mom’s cancer comes back cause I won’t be there for you. I will be too busy with people who really get me, like you used to. Cause one thing I am not gonna do is be taken for granted, I am better than that- I deserve more.

Wow, it took me a long time to realize that I don’t have to bend over backward to accommodate everyone in the hopes that they will accept me as their personal salvation. The days of talking bushes and parting seas are over my friend, I am not going out of my way to prove my righteousness to you or any of my 6 billion children.

Just know that the love I had for you Bill, is something I don’t know if I can ever give to another human. And know that you may be responsible for that, you-Bill Hutchkins of Omaha. I want you to know, Bill, that I will always forgive, but never forget. I tell you that in the hopes that some day, some glourious day, I will have my Bill Hutchkins of Omaha back, for good.

Pandora - Listen Up

Although I was aware of Pandora and the Music Genome Project, up until this morning I had yet to take it for a solid test-run. Why the fuck did I wait so long?!

Here’s the basic gist: 1) Go to Pandora.com 2) Type in the name of an artist you like (I chose Atmosphere) 3) Pandora plays a song by the artist you choose and follows that with songs by other artists you might enjoy, similar to the one you specified. By the way, it’s free and works without any downloads or other technical bullshit. Very easy.

From Pandora..

“With Pandora you can explore this vast trove of music to your heart’s content. Just drop the name of one of your favorite songs or artists into Pandora and let the Genome Project go. It will quickly scan its entire world of analyzed music, almost a century of popular recordings - new and old, well known and completely obscure - to find songs with interesting musical similarities to your choice. Then sit back and enjoy as it creates a listening experience full of current and soon-to-be favorite songs for you.”

All of the music chosen by Pandora has been great, including the song below, Push by Common Market. Click over to Pandora now. You will not be disappointed.

New Music Monday: Santogold - Shove It

Santogold has a sound that is instantly recognizable as quality. Santi crosses genres constantly, playing whatever the hell she wants, from dub to new wave. It is the authenticity and confidence in what she is doing that makes it all work together and the fact that she can write some incredible hooks. This post should have gone up 6 months ago when her demos were out, but it is never too late for good music. Check her out here.

Enjoy
