"New Age Imperialist" by the Bopaphonics #96 on Neil Young's LWW site
Advertisements [?]
the Bopaphonics is a local Lawrence band that my friend Roger Holden is in. Their song New Age Imperialist was recently submitted to Neil Young's Living With War website. Last week it debuted at #681 and when I check this morning it was #96. Please give them a listen. Go to http://www.neilyoung.com/lwwtoday/lwwsongspage.html and scroll down to #96.

According to their website, the Bopaphonics are

Part rock rhythm meets odd rhythm, part political lyric meets tongue in cheek cynic, The
Bopaphonics are a spoken word and rhythm band that defies easy categorization.
Though they have been compared to the performance art of the Tubes, the humor of
Frank Zappa, the dissonance of James Blood Ulmer, the grit of Tom Waits, the quirkiness
of Talking Heads, the politrock of the Clash and the funky rhythms of Gorillaz & Soul
Coughing, they are not quite like any of them. So please ignore the cookie cutter genres
used to label the Bops & decide who they are for yourself. Sample the band that makes
literate political music you can dance to, laugh at or put side by side on pop radio & indie
left of the dial stations.

Thanks. :hi:
