Not in My Name
There has been worldwide uprising against the war in Iraq. Each opposer of the war fights it in their own way, and I thank everyone who takes the extra time and energy to make their impression. Today I’d like to give special props to someone who can make an impression in an amazing way, Saul Williams.
Saul Williams is a legend of hip hop, and an amazing poet. In concert with Coldcut, DJ Spooky, DJ Goo, Ninja Tunes and No Man’s Land Radio, he has released a single entitled “Not in My Name”, which will be available on CD and vinyl shortly.
The album contains four excellent songs of protest, as well as remixes by DJ Spooky, Coldcut and DJ Goo. Don’t miss the live No Man’s Land track! You can also download the entire single, as well as live radio presentations, in mp3 form on the website NotInOurNameMusic.com and I highly recommend that everyone go download these tracks, as they are a powerful form of expression, and are suitable for blasting loudly and proudly. The track “Pledge of Resistance” comes in an acapella form, suitable for remixing and DJ sets (DJs should get this on vinyl as soon as it comes out), as well as mixes by Coldcut, DJ Spooky and DJ Goo. All very good.
So thanks to everyone who stands up against war, and a special thanks today to Saul Williams and crew for creating and freely giving this album to the world.
