a song from the new bleubird album - [rip u$a-the birdfleu] "The energy on "RIP USA: The Birdfleu" makes it feel like an old Black Flag or Clash album. The lyrics are like a strange mix of Chuck D and Hunter Thompson, with the wit of Jello Biafra." - Joseph Froemming st.cloud chronicle. video+production by shortfacedbear.
The History of Oil - Robert Newman 45 min 42 sec - Sep 11, 2006 Robert Newman gets to grips with the wars and politics of the last hundred years - but rather than adhering to the history we were fed at all school, the places oil centre stage as the cause of all commotion. This innovative history programme is based around Robert Newman's stand-up act and supported by resourceful archive sequences and stills with satirical impersonations of historical figures from Mayan priests to Archduke Ferdinand. Quirky details such as a bicycle powered street lamp on the stage brings home the pertinent question of just how we are going to survive when the world's oil supplies are finally exhausted
