Sountrack to Freedom

I watched a great documentary the other day about the abolition of Apartheid. It concentrated on the power of song. I was trying to come up with some new music to lead our revolution this year. So far, all I could come up with is Patti Smith's "Ghandi" which still makes my body tingle. Got any good ideas?

Howa bout "Friday I'm in Love," by the Cure?

And the Band Played Waltzing Matilda. There are many versions of this song, the most popular one is probably by the Pogues.

anything from Stereolab's first 3 albums (lotsa socialist monster rock stuff in there)
or Let's Build a Car by the Swell Maps
i love that song to death.

also trying to get my band to cover Homegrown by Neil Young. "Homegrown, It's all right with me / Homegrown, it's the way it should be / Homegrown, it's a good thing / Plant that bell and let it ring"
