Renee and Irish Greg’s podcast, taped Tuesday 10/25. The theme of the night was “Political Songs/Protest Songs” and was inspired by the upcoming election and more specifically Dave Eggers’ 30 Days, 30 Songs , a project that has musicians such as REM , Death Cab for Cutie , Aimee Mann and many more, releasing a song a day to protest the candidacy of Donald Trump.
Another musician on Eggers’ compilation is local artist Bhi Bhiman who stopped by to discuss his contribution, a song called “With Love To Russia.” Watch the official video for
the song HERE .
As we discussed in the podcast, Bhi Bhiman first came to prominence after appearing on the prestigious BBC TV show Later with Jools Holland which you can see HERE .
In the interest of equal time we also talked about pro-Trump music which was predictably awful. Sadly we never got to this one on the podcast but it’s especially bad. ENJOY!
Finally, we were joined by local author Sylvie Simmons , the official biographer for Leonard Cohen and Neil Young and also a musician herself who performed her own Trump tune on her trusty ukulele.
