Guest DJ (didn't catch his name) on #WMPG's #GeminiRadio definitely has #Revolution on the mind... First he played #Uprising by #Muse, now he's playing #WhereIsMyMind by #ThePixies (which always brings to mind the final scene in #FightClub)!

Of course I had to play my theme song -- #CitiesInDust by #SiouxsieAndTheBanshees (when I had regular gigs at the Goth club, folks would just expect me to play it -- and it *is* one of my favorite #SATB songs off my favorite SATB album - #Tinderbox).

"Water was running, children were running
You were running out of time
Under the mountain, a golden fountain
Were you praying at the Lares' shrine?
But oh, your city lies in dust, my friend
But oh, your city lies in dust, my friend..."

Next up, I played #HeadsWillRoll (2009) by the #YeahYeahYeahs and worked the crowd (which included a bachelorette party) up into a frenzy! This song is definitely part of the soundtrack of the #revolution -- especially when the heads start rolling!

"Off, off with your head
Dance, dance til you're dead (dead)
Heads will roll
Heads will roll
Heads will roll
On the floor..."

After I got the crowd shouting, I got them stomping with #SevenNationArmy by #TheWhiteStripes (2003).

"I'm gonna fight 'em all
A seven nation army couldn't hold me back
They're gonna rip it off
Taking their time right behind my back

And I'm talking to myself at night
Because I can't forget
Back and forth through my mind
Behind a cigarette

And a message coming from my eyes says leave it alone

Don't wanna hear about it
Every single one's got a story to tell
Everyone knows about it
From the Queen of England to the hounds of Hell

And if I catch you coming back my way
I'm gonna serve it to you
And that ain't what you want to hear
But that's what I'll do..."

Next up, I turned the tables on #DJShaxx and introduced him to #NorthAmericanScum by #LCDSoundsystem from 2007. A bunch of us were singing along, screaming out "SCUM!"

"So throw a party 'til the cops come in and bust it up, let's go, North Americans
Oh, you were planning it? I didn't mean to interrupt, sorry
I did it once and my parents got pretty upset, freaked out in North America
But then I said, 'The more I do it, the better it gets', that's my North America

(Ah-ah) Oh, oh, oh, oh
We are North American scum
(Ah-ah) Oh, oh, oh
We're from North America!"

I first heard #Oligarchy by #TeenMortgage (2023) on #DJShaxx's radio show, #LeftOfTheDial. He was quite pleased that I played it at the club!

"Can we all agree we got an issue?
Watching all these rats cheat the race
'Specially when they told you, "go get a tissue,"
For all the ones who'd made last place, well

Pigs with power in their ivory tower
Mothers shop for four down at the dollar store, and
Tons of cowards make them work those long hours
Because corporate flaws, they make all the laws

I think we all agree it's getting kinda gnarly
Unless you're part of the oligarchy
'Think we all agree it's getting kinda gnarly
Unless you're part of thе oligarchy, yuh"

#TalkinBoutARevolution by #TracyChapman (1988)

"Don't ya know
They're talking about a revolution?
It sounds like a whisper
Don't ya know
They're talking about a revolution?
It sounds like a whisper

[While they're standing in the welfare lines
Crying at the doorsteps of those armies of salvation
Wasting time in the unemployment lines
Sittin' around waitin' for a promotion

Don't ya know?
They're talking about a revolution
It sounds like a whisper
Poor people gonna rise up
And get their share
Poor people gonna rise up
And take what's theirs

Don't ya know you better run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run
Oh, I said you better run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run

'Cause finally the tables are starting to turn
Talkin' 'bout a revolution
Yes, finally the tables are starting to turn
Talkin' 'bout a revolution, oh no
Talkin' 'bout a revolution, oh no..."

As heard on #LeftOfTheDial with #DJShaxx ....

#TheGovernmentFly by #DeadKennedys (1986)

"The government flu
The government flu
The government flu

Slip it abroad
Keep a-slowin' down the USSR
But meanwhile, we'll keep an eye
On what it's doin' to you"
