ready, set, riot

some of you are probably not too happy about the results of last night's election. many of you are probably actually pretty goddamned pissed off. (it can't be just me)

when you feel this way, let's face it: pop music will not cut it. you're not in the mood for dance music. nor will whiny, sensitive emo do it for you today.

what you really need is music made by the angry and disenfranchised for the angry and disenfranchised. you need music that you can riot to. my friend, you need metal.

i'm here to help.

GREAT list, however, add this to the mix:
Blood for Blood: Some Kind of Hate.

You WILL be breaking things after you hear this song.

Very good music in deed I have listened to some of the bands listed, oh yes, the goverment is liying you, and they get away with it, but if you lie to the goverment they take your house and send you to jail, is that fair?????

Had to say that nothing has made me smile more since Tues. night than "I Wish You'd Die." Absolutely great song that cheered me up enormously. Thanks.

Stop whining you little bitch, Bush/Cheney '04 we done had this motherfucker locked. Liberals can eat a fat dick. See you bitches in '08 good luck with that.

52% is a "lock?" You just showed the world your ignorance, Conservative, not to mention your wonderful use of grammar. Unless by a lock you mean how the White House manipulated the votes to sway in their direction. That's right - I said it. But that's OK, because we'll just wait for Bush to screw up -- and he WILL screw up badly enough that no Republican will be able to turn a blind eye (like they did when he did coke in college, plus dodged the draft.) '08? We'll see you sooner than that.

But if you hadn't figured yet, this blog is about the MUSIC, and this mix was the best thing I've heard since ... well...ever. Thanks!!
