With another election right upon us, let me recommend one of the great songs for the season. The song is called "Selling My Birthright." Download it HERE. [Find more of this artist.]

This acoustic jam comes out a tough country song, a catchy acoustic apocalypse by Orwellian metaphor.

Selling my birthright for corn and hay to feed my sacred cow.

You should definitely have the refrain of this tune echoing in your head as you pull them levers.

Unreformed hawkish Hoosier hillbilly and sometimes candidate Al Barger runs the still squeezin' down the psychodelic Kentucky moonshine at MoreThings.com, what with the paranoid religious visions and the Pentacostal music and visions of God and anarchy running amok and such. Somebody oughta call the cops to report his out of control freedom of conscience. Till they come to take him away somewhere where he can't hurt anyone else, you can check out his weekly column of NEW ALBUM RELEASES.
