Aug 08, 2011 22:47



Feministhulk: HULK SMASH HEGEMONY, PATRIARCHY, OCCASIONAL SKYSCRAPER. NOT SMASH PEOPLE. SAID BEFORE, WORTH REPEAT.

Track Listing
01. Your Mother Was The Lightening // The Court And Spark
Your mother was the lightning.
I can't believe it's true.
Your mother was the lightning,
And you're a sky of blue.

02. Something Wicked This Way Comes // Barry Adamson
feministhulk: IN BEGINNING, HULK SMASH FOR LOVE OF SMASH. LATER, HULK REALIZE CRAVING FOR SMASH CAUSED BY HEGEMONIC FORCES WHICH DISCONNECTED HULK FROM SELF. HULK QUESTION SYSTEMS OF PRIVILEGE. SOON HULK SMASH WITH GREATER PURPOSE. CULTURAL MINDFULNESS GIVE HULK SUPERPOWERS OF ANTI-PATRIARCHAL SMASH!

03. Patriarch On A Vespa // Metric
Our faces all resemble dying roses
From trying to fix it
When instead we should break it
We've got to break it before it breaks us

04. Hypocrisy Is the Greatest Luxury // The Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy
The problem has never been our political logic
but the way we enact it
We can imagine a perfect society
but can't maintain a decent relationship
The failure found in the luxury, not in the hardship

05. Torna la gent normal // Manel (Catalan cover of Common People by Pulp)
Sing along with the common people, sing along and it might just get you through,
laugh along with the common people, laugh along even though they're laughing at you,
and the stupid things that you do because you think that poor is cool.

06. Beautiful Things Come From The Dark // Azure Ray
Someone else’s boy, I have seen your face,
Light in the stars, it was then I knew,
That your heart was pure, that it had not yet been destroyed

07. I’m No Heroine // Ani DiFranco
I'm too easy to wreck
I just write about what I should have done
I just sing what I wish I could say and hope somewhere
some woman hears my music and it helps her through her day

08. Combat Baby // Metric
Combat baby come back baby
Fight off the lethargy, don't go quietly

09. You Can Sell Anything // Das Racist
Ey yo the government is lies, son
United States are Google, Verizon
They all spies son, I'm Pisces, risin'
And you ain't Hoover, you suck like James Dyson

10. Succexy // Metric
Passive attraction, programmed reaction
More information, cash masturbation
Follow the pattern- the hemlines, the headlines
Action distraction, faster than fashion

11. Please No Pictures // BBU (ft. Das Racist)
So I’d rather write the songs that say fuck you all
BBU and Das
White America’s karma
It’s like Reaganomics meets Black Power
Mixin bell hooks and Iran Contra
Go to AIPAC
Shout out “Free Gaza”
Jack some minute men
Yo Viva La Raza

12. Mi Gente // Ozomatlu & Kumbia Kings
que sepan que yo soy de aqui como lo es cualquiera
que tambien me da pena,
las injusticias, la pobresa de mi gente...
I want you to know I’m here just like everyone else
and I feel the pain of injustice and poverty of my people.

13. 16 Lovers // Caged Baby
You know you love it when I’m dressed in drag
You call me crazy, but crazy’s not so bad
Times are changing, not always for the best.

14. Vanished // Crystal Castles
In the dark , We come out and play
We are its children, And were here to stay
Running through , Hungry for strays

15. She’s My Man // Scissor Sisters
This town was built on muddy stilts by the lunatic parade
It rains like Revelations, gonna wash these freaks away
Some girls wanna hold your hand and some girls like to pray
Well my girl takes her drinks with dust and rusty razor blades

16. The Ghost Inside // Broken Bells
They call it chivalry
Never pull a punch for free
You ever wonder what it had to move on
This phony article

17. Joyful Girl // Ani DiFranco
I do it for the joy it brings
because I'm a joyful girl
because the world owes me nothing
and we owe each other the world

18. Sledgehammer // Peter Gabriel
If you understand the ‘intended’ meaning of this song, these two references will make more sense.
feministhulk: HULK HAVE PENIS, IDENTIFY AS MALE, SO HULK COULD BE CONSIDERED CISGENDER. HOWEVER, HULK DELIBERATE IN CHOICES, RESIST PRESSURE TO NATURALIZE OR PRESCRIBE GENDER SCRIPT. SO, HULK COULD BE GENDERQUEER. DEFINITELY HAVE GENDERQUEER POLITICS.
feministhulk: HULK SMASH NORMATIVE PRESCRIPTIONS OF MASCULINITY. HULK HAVE PENIS, BIG GREEN MUSCLES, BIGGER GREEN EMOTIONS. DEAL WITH IT.
19. Us // Regina SpektorThey'll name a city after us
And later say it's all our fault

Extras:
Common People // Pulp (the original)
Common People // William Shatner & Ben Folks cover (it’s kind of epic)
