Shtil di nacht iz oysgeshternt” (“Silent, the night is full of stars”)
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shtil,_di_nakht_iz_oysgeshternt
"Still the night and full of starlight,
And the frost burned on the land;
Do you still remernher how I taught you
To hold a revolver in your hand?
A girl. a sheepskin and a beret.
In her hands she holds a gun,
A girl with her face as smooth as velvet
Keeps watch of the enemy’s caravan.
An aim, a shot right on the target,
Her small pistol had reached its mark,
An auto filled high with ammunition
Her shot had stopped it in the dark.
At dawn she crept out of the woodland,
With snowy garlands in her hair.
Encouraged by her little victory
For our future freer heirs."
Schtille Di Nacht (Quiet Is the Night) (Live)
Woody Guthrie - "All You Fascists"
https://www.woodyguthrie.org/Lyrics/All_You_Fascists.htm
"I’m gonna tell you fascists
You may be surprised
The people in this world
Are getting organized
You’re bound to lose
You fascists bound to lose"
And now for something more upbeat
(We Don't Need This) Fascist Groove Thang - LCD Soundsystem cover
They Might Be Giants - "The Communists Have The Music"
"I got handed an Ayn Rand sandwich
Straight from a can, it tasted so bland
I asked a lass to pass me a glass
Of Engel's Conditions of the Working Class
Right away they dragged me to the committee
To explain my un-American activity
They're gonna see they made a mistake
If they'd only let me play my mixtape
I'm not partial to the martial
Or the plutocrats in their beaver hats
And the fascists have the outfits
But I don't care for the outfits
What I care about is music
And the communists have the music"
"...and we'll never rest again, until every nazi dies"
Now with video on mastodon. My New Pipe is working again!
If you haven't heard Jesse Welles yet pull up a chair. We have a modern young Dylan/Guthrie on our hands.
This might just be a masterpiece. Written before a show, performed in a bathroom and spread to the world for $0 in minutes.

🎵 Well they call this the land of plenty
And for them I guess it's true
For the rich and mighty capitalists
Not for workers like me and you
Well now what can we do about it
To these men of power and might
Well I'll tell you mister capitalist
We are going to fight! fight! fight! 🎶

AccordionBruce@SrRochardBunson
Great tune. I like all the complaints in the comments about people comparing him to other artists
Not like a good tune takes a complex riff, now I’ve got the earworm in my head. It’s gonna bother me until I remember what song that one reminds Me of 🤔
Maybe something totally different? And nothing to take away from this song
Scott the F is implicit Baxter@SrRochardBunson Consolidated had some stuff in the early 90s.
Elias Mårtenson@SrRochardBunson This one is pretty good, do you happen to have a link to move of this?
(Edited) I found some related stuff by searching. But I still don't know if this is part of a longer set.

@SrRochardBunson I just discovered Jesse Welles the other day. He is amazing. Here is another good one.
"War Isn't Murder"
War Isn’t Murder
Badtux the Snarky Penguin@SrRochardBunson On par with "War Is A God". And he's 30 years old, by which time Bob Dylan had already written all of his masterpieces. But Jesse Welles has just begun.
Absolutely! I had to go back and listen to "War is a God" for comparison and this comment about broke me. That's some powerful-ass music.
cobalt@SrRochardBunson Soooo great! I was halfway thru and my son came out of my room to ask “Is this that Jesse guy?” 😆🤣😂😄
He said he had gotten a zillion fans with the United Healthcare song and now he’s got this one. Reminds me of when Ren exploded in views and listens around the world. Tremendous talent.
@cobalt123 YESS!!!
He's an amazing talent and even more than that, it's refreshing that someone can still organically "blow up".
Check out this comment left on "War is a God". I'm tearing up over here.
War is a God
Tirrimas 
🚫👑@SrRochardBunson @cobalt123 this one gave me goosebumps!
God above!
Moonshine Brigade@SrRochardBunson he sure writes nice songs 👍 Using very actual topics and with cool gritty voice.
Though i think 'organic' is a myth. His videos go viral, sure. Just like the 'Rich Men North of Richmond’ song.
You don't get featured in Rolling Stone Magazine as an unknown artist.
300 Entertainment, Jesse Welles's label, is a sublabel of the Warner Music Group. That sure helps to get things going.
Advanced Persistent Teapot@SrRochardBunson god DAMN that kid has talent
@SrRochardBunson this broke my heart. This boy should be able to make songs about losing his first love, not about losing his society to madmen...
Utter genius.
(Now I'm feeling silly - he's 30 flipping years old. He looked 16 in that video.)

Michael Franti and Spearhead - "Yell Fire!" (Full Album Stream)
Rachel Gustave Lee Mathes@nevar23 Still one of my favorite albums ever, and definitely their best! 🤘❤️
@RodentRachel I haven't listened to enough of their work, which I really need to remedy. That song is so dang good, though.
@nevar23 I think Michael Franti softened his tone and messages a bit from The Sound of Sunshine (2010) and onward, but Everyone Deserves Music (2003) and All Rebel Rockers (2008) in their entirety are still high points as well. If you can give them a listen, do so!
@RodentRachel Good to know. Thanks for the recommendations!
Mark Wyner Won’t Comply 
@SrRochardBunson I didn’t know they collaborated. I love me some Marc Ribot.
My favorite is Marc Ribot y Los Cubanos, “Y Los Cubanos Postizos.” That record is an absolute gem.
