it's tunesday! ("the song of investment capital overseas" by art bears)


I don't remember exactly what year it was. But I was in high school and it was a Sunday afternoon. I was at The Music Box, which was a local record store. Someone had come in to sell them some of his records. The guy who owned the store (I forget his name) dropped the needle on a disc, and I heard what can best be described as a German-accented Yoko Ono. And I immediately knew I had to have that album.

It was The World as it Is Today, a collection of anti-Capitalist songs by Art Bears. I don't share their politics, but I still find their music oddly enthralling. And that is especially true of this gem.
