New Rasputina Album: Oh Perilous World

If you love music, but hate how greedy record companies are -buy CDs at concerts. This guarantees that the proceeds go directly to the band.
A few weeks ago, Jason and I saw Rasputina play. We picked up their new album Oh Perilous World at the concert, we got the deluxe 2 disc edition. The second disc includes, previously unreleased songs, a nice instrumental version of “The Infidel is Me”, and a different version of “The Pruning”.
I’ve been listening to this album everyday for the last few weeks. I think it’s absolutely brilliant. The songs mix history, bizarre current events, and dark humor. “Champion” is mostly the translation of an Osama Bin-Laden speech and “Child Soldier” references the phenomenon of African children’s armies. I really like how everyone sings on “Old Yellow Cake”, even the drummer.
“Yellow Cake”
Please, buy merchandise at concerts. This is the best way to get your money into the hands of the artists and keep the awful middle man out.
Damn the man!!!
