Occupy Sound: Volume 2

[From Wyatt]:

...This is a follow-up to the PopWork USA/Rebuild the Dream collabo project featuring songs of struggle and beats that let you get your march or rally on properly. Click here to listen or download.  This volume includes suggestions by online listeners and participants on the Rebuild the Dream website so not exactly my list but definitely my curating. From Steve Earle to the Temptations, Black Flag to Phil Ochs, M.IA. to N.E.R.D (see full playlist at www.popwork.org). Let me know what you think.

Thanks again for everyone’s ideas. To hear it just go here.  ...Here is the playlist for Vol 2: Power to the People (excerpt) – John Lennon; Amerika V. 6.0 (The Best We Can Do) – Steve Earle; The Harder They Come – Jimmy Cliff; Pull Up the People – M.I.A.; Rise Above – Black Flag; Ball of Confusion – The Temptations; Soobax – K’naan; Lapdance – N.E.R.D.; Church of the ATM (excerpt) – Chris Rock; Mr Greed – John Fogerty; Get Up Stand Up – Bob Marley; That’s What I Want to Hear – Phil Ochs; Open Letter – Living Colour; Our Song – Joe Henry; Bluestime in America – Michael Hill’s Bluesland; Who Will Survive in America – Kanye West/Gil Scott-Heron; Water No Get Enemy – Fela Kuti

A big surprise was the number of original songs that have been submitted since the first volume was released. For those of you with original songs or recent songs inspired by OWS, send in those MP3s! One special podcast will feature all of these genuine contributions that have streamed in over the last few weeks from songwriters and musicians. It will be Occupy Sound Vol 3: The Originals.
