The Wildhearts (one of this countrys finest, yet sorely underated bands) have a new single out, called The New Flesh.
Classic Wildhearts, in my opinion, very catchy and thoughtfully written.
Ginger – you rock! \m/

I know that some of these things can be proved by scientific research but the whole point is this – we are all sentinent beings, we are all capable of independant thoughts. No one has the right to tell you that what you think is untrue or how you feel in invalid. Rejoice in what you are, revel in your quirks and flaws, give the system (the media, the corporations, the goverments and anything else that tells you what to think) the finger and LIVE!
Live in a way that considers the suggestions of others, borrows what works and that goes towards making you happy. We do not have to give into the hate of the past, the bigotry of previous generations, we do not have to settle the scores of history.
There is truly nothing to fear but fear itself – don’t let anyone tell you different!
