The great part about being a Chinese dictatorship in a world with one rule set (Adam Smith’s), is that your paramilitary forces can slaughter 140 protestors without even a whimper from the global community. Western elites just don’t care because business with China is more important than human rights and the fact that China reacts like a spoiled child when chastised (which makes it not worth the hassle).

The Beat: “Mirror In The Bathroom”
This would be my all time favourite ska song. (actually, make it in the top 10 of favourite ska songs).
The last time I posted this, Americans kinda went all nuts saying that they are called the English Beat. Yes, In America, that is what they were called. In the rest of the world they were known as The Beat, The British Beat, then to become Beats International, which we all know, did “Dub Be Good To Me”, and later spawned the career of Fat Boy Slim.
Anyway…here is the British Beat…
LOVE. Always have.

Tracy Chapman - Give Me One Reason.
“Give me one reason to stay here, and I’ll turn right back around.”
Here’s a good song for anyone leaving town or planning to leave someone. In essence, it’s a great “FUCK OFF” song.

“I’m Your Puppet” by James & Bobby Purify (1966).
True story: Bobby Purify was actually two different guys. Neither of them were born with that name, but both ended up with it.
(James & Bobby Purify: I have no idea which is which.)

Supergrass / Bad Blood
Gaz writes great lyrics and he’s an under rated guitar player.
Sometimes I question why this band is not ruling the world right now.
