Sonic Overload 2/8/10

In case you couldn't tell, the first couple of songs pay tribute to the new Super Bowl champions, the New Orleans Saints. Even if it's just a sports contest, if any city deserves a psychological lift after what it's been through, I'd say New Orleans would be such a place...

Sonic Overload 2/1/10

In memory of Howard Zinn, renowned Boston University history professor--a great man who dedicated his life to the pursuit of justice for all people and protesting the insanity of pointless US military activity.

Also dedicated, in less positive fashion, to the greedy free market types who hold way too much sway in this country and the ones who leave incredibly dumb comments on one of my "social networking" pages.
