Well it’s a matter of fact that I’m gonna die one day But muthafucka Right now I breathe And I may not be able to predict my demise But you can bet it won’t be on my knees From: Street Sweeper Social Club, “Fight! Smash! Win!” (lyrics)
Street Sweeper Social Club, the band formed by Tom “The Nightwatchman” Morello and Boots Riley, is now streaming their whole album on their MySpace page. There is only one word for Street Sweeper Social Club, and that is awesome. Like Morello’s Nightwatchman, this is revolutionary music: it fills you with …
While I’m busy working on Phenomenon 32, why don’t you have a listen at Street Sweeper Social Club? Tom Morello plus Boots Riley equals a great deal of ass-kicking. And if you like the music, buy the album when it comes out. Then go out there and make a difference.

Helen has written an interesting post on the (excellent) music she composed for The Strange and Somewhat Sinister Tale of the House at Desert Bridge. And if you click here you can read it. Go on. I’ve got work to do. The final beta is approaching.
Few things make me as deliriously happy as the song “Scurvy!” by Captain Bogg & Salty. There’s just nothing as cool as pirates, is there? No, ninjas aren’t as cool. Not even half as cool. They’re only cool when they’re also monkeys. And even in that rare case, pirates are …
