on tuesday, one of my all time favorite bands put out a brand new album after almost 4 years since their last one. i saw them play about a year and half ago here in saskatoon and it was one of the best shows ive ever seen. so i felt like i was about 15 years old waiting for march 10th to come when i could run down to the record store and pick up the newest release.
i remember in high school my dad read some of their lyrics or essays they had on their website and wasn't very impressed, so my old band wrote a song about it called "my dad hates propagandhi". it had nothing to do with my dad hating propagandhi at all. it was probably about some lame girl stealing one of our friends or something. anyway, back to the matter at hand...
you may not agree with everything these guys say, and you dont have too. but they have done a lot to make this world a better place. one cool idea they had was instead of leaking their songs around the internet before they were released (which probably still happened) they set up a site where you could download two, for a small donation to your choice of humanitarian effort.
anyway, their music is incredible, and their lyrics make you think and give you insight into some things that are going on in the world around you which you likely wont hear about on CNN or CTV.
if you are bored at work, go check out their website, they have a good list of books to read that may give you a different spin on things.
anyway. this record is great. i cant wait till they drive through my city.
