Wednesday Wadio: The Good, The Bad And The Queen.
Herculean is the second single off this just released album from Damon Albarn’s (Blur, Gorillaz) The Good The Bad and the Queen. He’s quite the prolific songwriter and has managed to convince Paul Simonon (The Clash) and Simon Tong (The Verve) to round out this alt-punk supergroup. And let’s not forget the producer, Danger Mouse, who himself has a little song you may have heard once or twice last year.
I was beyond skeptical when I first read a blurb about them, but I love this song - and the first single Kingdom of Doom - very, very much so. The hats are just the icing on the cake.
The groups pedigree is certainly more impressive than the song.
Maher Arar was just awarded a $12M settlement for being wrongfully deported and subsequently totured in a Syrian jail. I’m going to try to get deported and tortured. I’d submit to worse for $10 million.
I mean, the guy looks fine, he’s walking, he can see, hear.. he’s actually more articulate than ever.
Steven Harper can go suck one for wasting my tax $.
Am I an insensitive prick like my tells me I am?
ok fine, he would have won that much in a law suit… it just hurts to see my tax $s wasted becuase of incompetence. fuckin RCMP fools.
