Now Hear This

Super Tuesday’s here. I vote absentee so it was actually a super January 23rd for me but I would brave the cold winds and bitter rain (it’s a beautiful day here – VOTE!) with the rest of you if not for that convenience the state of California provides me in the form of that sweet little envelope colored the same pale yellow as my name in the snow. Here are a couple of songs to get you up from your desk, out the door and down to your local polling place:

Sunset Rubdown – They Took A Vote And Said No (6/11/06 Daytrotter Session)
Radiohead – Electioneering (OK Computer)

After watching hours of exit polls I’ll probably feel like this:
Joy Division – Candidate (live at Pennine Sound Studios 6/4/79)

So I’ll cheer myself up by listening to this:
Monty Python – Election Special (The Final Ripoff)

And I hope this gloriously sloppy version of Wilco’s Casino Queen helps those So-Cal Native Americans celebrate (from a show at the 9:30 Club in Washington, DC on 6/12/95).

Got more voting/election songs? Leave a comment!
