Brian’s Mixtape #28: Talkin’ ‘Bout A Revolution
Our regular readers will be pleased to hear that Brian’s got himself together now. He’s decided to stop all this wallowing and introversion and turn his thoughts to more important matters.
Brian’s as concerned as any of us about the proposed closure of BBC 6Music. He’s been listening since Phil Jupitus spun the first record just over 8 years ago. He’ll be protesting with the 6 Music Protest Group on Saturday — 12 noon outside broadcasting house for those who want to join him.
There are plenty of other things that Brian (who’s quite a politically-aware owl, it turns out) is cross about, but he knows these things can be pretty divisive so he’s keeping schtum about every cause but the one he knows every reader is behind.
Brian’s put together a playlist of protest and revolution, some personal, some social, some political.
- Bright Eyes – Road To Joy
- Tracy Chapman – The Times They Are A-Changin’
- Pete Seeger – A Hard Rain’s Gonna Fall
