DUCT TAPE 3:34 They are knock-you-dead funny, those
folks in our Bush administration, when you look at things through John
McCutcheon's eyes. His music is sticky (you'll want to hear it more than
once), as his subject. In this case, it's the common household product
that BushCo told us we needed to protect ourselves against terrorism
last year. This song's message still holds true today. It really is
sticky, this Duct Tape.

codePINK 3:28 You gotta hand it to this energetic duo of
award-winning musicians. Pat Humphries & Sandy O nailed the Bush-backed
Carlyle Group and their backroom business dealings with the bin Ladens
long before Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11 brought that fact to
theatres nationwide. This song takes music beyond the traditional music
industry, which, like government and other war profiteers, silences
dissent. Witness the rise of Clear Channel's monopolization of our
"public" airwaves, at the hands of right-wing Republican ownership, but
that's another story (we'll be talking about real soon).

this catchy tune. Kick Out
The Republicans is a candid look at the Bush Administration, and

SONOFA BUSH 3:52 An enlightened, musical, satirical look
at the President we 'elected' in 2000. In a nutshell, it's comedic alternative spoken word with a
downtempo hip-hop feel. The 'voice' of George W Bush, rappin' his way
through recent history, with lyrics inspired by actual mispronunciations
and misguided thoughts that Dubya has shared with the world.

CONSEQUENCES 2:52 In the words of artist Amy Martin,
"We are so proud, in this country, of our ability to take action, and at
the same time, often so unaware of how those actions affect other people
and places. When writing this song, I was overcome by a feeling of
urgency for us to examine those repercussions, and take responsibility
for them." We couldn't have said it better.

PEACE INSIDE 8:10 The longest track on this compilation, with Tom
Waits style vocals countered by sweet female harmony. Songwriter and
vocalist Ralph Stever says, "I saw where Bush and the boys were going
with their Iraq spin, and I knew they were opening the War Room. Soon I
realized it was hard to be an activist for peace while in the midst of
fighting my own anger toward what the administration was doing." This
song is the result.

I DON’T WANT TO BE A SOLDIER 3:36 Time marches on, but 88-year-old Julius from George and Julius keeps on
telling us all 'like it is.' The fact that Julius is as committed to
fighting Bush’s re-election as he is gives us all hope for the future.
If he can do it, everyone can do it. George Mann and Julius Margolin are
anti-Bush pro-Labor folkies, and they
dedicate
this to all the victims of Bush’s illegal invasion and especially to the
young men and women who might be considering joining Bush’s armed
forces. War is ugly and evil, and this war is especially so.

THE WAR IS OVER 3:08 It's true, David Rovics has a
tight fist on the pulse of intervention through music. Since the
mid-90's, he has spent
most of
his time on tour, playing concerts across the US, Canada and Europe.
Here, he gives us this song of lies that George
W Bush started propagating back when he thought he could do what he
wanted (and perhaps more importantly, what Dick Cheney wanted) in 2003.
David is an established voice in musical protest against the Bush
Company administration, and he should be
commended for that service to our country.
