The Soundboard: Eclectica

What with the SCOTUS releasing Heller last Thursday, the prearranged tracks were suspended while we celebrated.

But they’re back today. Or at least one of them is.

David has a track selection that I don’t own. Nor can I find it on the intarwebs.

The song is Condemnation by the Christian Metal group Six Feet Deep. No video, no audio, and I cannot currently download due to my Media Center Edition of XP not getting along with the sites that do that sort of thing.

So, here is Six Feet Deep’s website, so you can get a taste of what they sound like, and the lyrics are posted below the fold.

The second selection is actually one from Mrs. David, who has it on auto-loop.

It stars a pair of dudes featured here in the recent past who go by the name The Propellerheads, along with Mr. Bean’s favorite entertainer, the lovely, Ms. Shirley Bassey

Lastly, since I would like to bring you two tracks today, Les Claypool of Primus fame, Stewart Copeland of the recently reunited trio, The Police, and Trey Anastasio of Phish, got together to do the supergroup thing in 2001.

What was created was called Oysterhead, and the album was titled The Grand Pecking Order.

A little bit of all of them mixed together into a soup that had not been created before and has not been duplicated since.

Pseudo Suicide – Oysterhead

I dedicate this one to all the folks who decided that life wasn’t worth living and used a firearm to do the deed, doubling the statistics the anti-gun bigots use to try and make law abiding firearms owners look bad this week with their wall to wall reporting on these numbers.

To add, Professor Volokh has a few things to say about these stats.

Finger points, direction unknown.
Judgments fly, killing stones thrown.
Words like venom, spill from ignorance,
born in fear, but spoken in confidence.
Words received, defense builds quick.
Anger speaks, ignites the wick.
Fuse burns fast, tempers explode.
Walls are built, and hearts grow stone cold.
You, accuser,
you, you judge?
Look within yourself, what do you find?
condemnation belongs to God.
Judge not your brother, lest you be judged.
God holds the gavel, and only He knows us.
As you judge others, so you’ll be judged.
God holds the gavel, and only He knows us.
I won’t judge you, that’s not what I’m out to do.
Don’t you judge me, we’ve got to evaluate our own lives, see?
we’ve got to search ourselves, be honest about what we find,
come face to face with what we’ve kindled inside.
Ask yourself the question, “Are you ready to go bro?”
Don’t look at me, you oughta know!
‘Cause when you stand before the throne,
it’s just you, and you’re all alone
there ain’t nothin’ to point your finger at,
where you’re at, is where you’re at, and that’s that.
No; you can’t shift the blame again,
God knows where you’re at and where you’ve been.
He sent His Son to make us clean through,
but first, you gotta learn to deal with you.
