James Arden checks out the garage rockers latest album.
The Christian rock band from Brighton bring religion to the masses.
Recipe for modern R'n'B album: liberal helpings of guest rappers and an overdose of sexual euphemisms.
01. Radiohead: 'Electioneering' (on OK Computer)
The most obvious choice, Jonny Greenwood’s guitar and Phil Selway’s cowbell will empower us on our trip to the online polling booths. Our candidates will stop at nothing...
02. Abba: 'The Winner Takes It All' (on Abba Gold)
A heartfelt pop classic for us all to enjoy before the night, but best avoided if your candidate gets bad news on Saturday.
03. The White Stripes: 'The Union Forever' (on White Blood Cells)
Clique or no clique, Jack and Meg White don’t care, just as long as the elections actually happen. Or the song might be a tribute to Citizen Kane… we just don’t know.
04. Muse: 'Exo-Politics' (on Black Holes and Revelations)
Filled with conspiracy and heavy on the aliens, Matt Bellamy brings us back to earth: whoever we vote in as YUSU president, they (probably) won’t have the power to fake an alien invasion.
05. South Park: 'Vote Or Die' (on YouTube)
Puff Daddy's call to arms is directed at apathetic schoolboy Stan. Worth hearing to gee yourself up for the vote, but probably not one for the faint-hearted.
You forgot Fix Up, Vote Sharp
Bohemian Rhapsody.
"Nothing really matters..."
All these tracks need MORE COWBELL. Radiohead started well, but just didn't put enough in.
...and you also forgot Grant Bradley's 'Complete Control' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B5rLJqHFKYg
Bic Runga: Election Night
http://www.last.fm/music/Bic+Runga/_/Election+Night
@ No.4, for some reason, 'Complete Control' was removed by YouTube due to a copyright claim earlier today... which is odd, if you really want to inflict upon yourselves you can get it at grantbradley.co.uk
Be warned... it is dire.
'My Erection' is a completely relevant Pulp song.
