Ridiculous Things (un)Reasonable People Believe 3

Rate: 2 Flag
 
This song is seriously long: a bit more than 17 minutes. So the OP had to split it over two videos. I recommend listening to it as loudly as you can bear (set your volume based on the 7:15 mark or so). 
 
While this song is from ’98, so the interview with Iron Maiden vocalist Blaise Bailey Finnegan III predates that, the anger he expresses over existing in a world of laws strikes me as appropos for the current wingnut anger over Obama's every move (he eats hamburgers with mustard!).
 
If you like this, musically, the rest of Godspeed You! Black Emperor is really good. And life without Mogwai is a life less rewarded. I also recommend Surface of Eceyon, God is an Astronaut, Explosions in the Sky, Mono and Signer. Slint's Spiderland LP is the ür-text of this kind of music.

fascinating music. Admirably brief text, unpretentious thinking.
