Political song/speeches mp3's that I can download

[pstans]

I just got a new computer that has a CD Burner and a huge hard drive. I am looking for political songs or speeches mp3's that I can download and burn. I want to make a CD that I can listen to at the gym and gets me pumped up!

Thanks.

3. Here's one of many good sources:

http://www.will.uiuc.edu/am/mediamatters/default.htm

I have an iPod knock-off (Samsung YH-20) as well as CD burning capability, but most convenient for me is a pocket-sized MP3 device. It has 128MB onboard, and a slot for an SD card that could go up to a couple GBs. It's just drag & drop to load the files. If you're into very strenuous stuff, you might want to consider a solid state device like that. They're CHEAP.

I'll be following this thread for further leads for myself; I know there's plenty of them out there, including Democracy Now.

4. I have the Barack Obama campaign theme song

It's awesome! I have it on my school webspace, but I don't want too many people downloading it at once. PM me and i'll give you the address.

6. I'm sure glad I checked back.

That last URL looks great! I'll be mining it for a while to come.

Here's another thing I do: I don't have Sirius Radio yet, so I listen to a lot of Air America off the internet (http://cc.liquidviewer.com/radio/standard/radioplayer.php?UID=4). I have a program (Total Recorder) that captures whatever comes through the sound card, and saves it to a MP3 file, among many other choices. With a little preplanning (NOT my strong point) that could be set up for unattended timer-operation. And as mentioned earlier, loading these files into my MP3 device is a snap.

8. Somebody just posted a message about a really good mp3 site

If anyone is still checking this message thread,
somebody just posted a message about a really good mp3 site:

"World's Best Site for free anti-war, pro-justice mp3's"
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=104&topic_id=3347911&mesg_id=3347911

9. Here's another good site

Link: http://onegoodmove.org/1gm/1gmarchive/000628.html

Some are snippette's and some are full length.

10. Ive also been looking for some soundclips

I love the West Wing and Im trying to find the "Joy cometh in the morning" speech that Bartlet made in episode 403 ('College Kids' is the name). Ive been searching for a while now but havnt come up with anything.

[ConsAreLiars]

11. Arundhati Roy tells it like it is

You can get a lot (most all) of her talks and interviews here: http://mysite.verizon.net/res7dhyg/arundhati_roy.html She is eloquent.

IF you check the links on the left side there is a lot more of value on that site also.

[Richard Steele]

12. Bruce Cockburn: "If I had a Rocket Launcher"

Ok, too low-key for a cardio workout...


Howzabout the Ramones: "Bonzo Goes to Bittberg"?

Or just for fun: The MEATMEN; "French People Suck"?

[B Calm]

13. Here is the best site of all, hands down!

http://www.whiterosesociety.org/

[Starbucks Anarchist]

14. Try iTunes' music store

They have many of the DNC speeches (Obama, Clark, Kerry, Edwards, Sharpton among others) available for free.

And if you like rap, you absolutely have to download (free) the anti-Bush song "Supadubya" at www.supadubya.com.

15. Thanks for all the links

I have downloaded quite a few songs and things.

Keep em coming!

16. Casualities of War

by Eric B and Rakim

one of the best anti-war songs i've ever heard in my life (and for context's sake, this came out during the first gulf war)

Casualties of war; as I approach the barricade
Where's the enemy? Who do I invade?
Bullets of Teflon, bulletproof vest rip
Tear ya outta ya frame with a bag full of clips
Cause I got a family that waits for my return
To get back home is my main concern
I'ma get back to New York in one piece
but I'm bent in the sand that is hot as the city streets
Sky lights up like fireworks blind me
Bullets, whistlin over my head remind me...
President Bush said attack
Flashback to Nam, I might not make it back
Missile hits the area, screams wake me up
from a war of dreams, heat up the M-16
Basic training, trained for torture
Take no prisoners, and I just caught ya
Addicted to murder, send more bodybags
They can't identify em, leave the nametags
I get a rush when I see blood, dead bodies on the floor
CASUALTIES OF WAR! (4X)
