Truckin' ... in a surplus jeep

So we went to a graduation party for a friend of ours. Nice time, secluded farmhouse in Rennsealear, good food, and military surplus vehicles all around!
When the gathering winded down a bit, her dad fired up three vehicles. A half-track, a large 8 passenger jeep, and a 6 man tank-tread missle carrier. He took us on a tour of his 800 acre farmland/WWII battle reenactment area. It was a blast. Apparenlty he didn't have time to show us his BAR's and .50 cal machine guns though. Darn.

Anyway, not a lot of music, but I did pick up Neil Young's new one "Living with War."
Neil Young, "Living with War"
The Pixies "Trompe Le Monde"
Matt Pond PA "Deer Apartments"
Rainer Maria, "Long Knives Drawn"
Dinosaur Jr. "Where you Been?"

Neil hits the nail on the head, even if he's from the Great White North, he paints a bleak picture of the Bush administration and holds no apologies for what he says. "Let's Impeach the President" well, that's self-explanatory. "Flags of Freedom," singing about the day their youngest son marches off to war. It's about time someone started singing about this stuff again. Ben Harper had a little to say on his newest "Both sides of the Gun," and SoCal pop-punksters Green Day started to get the kiddies to listen with "American Idiot." Hopefully we can get a little airplay out of Mr. Young's new album .. although I doubt corporate radio will embrace the idea very closely.
