Wow. You all know I'm no fan of Michelle Malkin. She disgusts me. Prometheus Brown (aka Geologic) of Blue Scholars apparently shares the same sentiment, and was recently moved to drop a Malkin-inspired track, with a little bit of help from an old Sade track, of all things. Prometheus explains:
When all else fails, listening to old records and watching garbage TV always somehow provides refuge from the songwriting rut. Here's an example.I love Blue Scholars. I love Sade. I despise Michelle Malkin. So you're damn right this track speaks to me. And you know what? I hope it speaks to Michelle Malkin too. To download the track, go to the Blue Scholars blog: NEW MUSIC: A Sade Redux by Prometheus Brown titled "Michelle Malkin."
One, I was bumping some old Sade in anticipation of her new Soldier of Love album. Two, I was flipping channels during halftime of a UW basketball game and landed on Fox News, where Michelle Malkin was back at it doing what she do. Spewing the same ol same: Tea Party this, moonbats that. But for the first time in my life, I agreed with her on something: you rappers need to go get a job!
As fate would have it, Sade's "Feel No Pain" (Love Deluxe, 1992) has a vocal sample with her singing the line "get a job." What are the chances? So I flipped the beat, sampled the vocals, and wrote this song about my favorite neo-conservative Filipina blogger. And what better timing to share it with you all than the week that Sade's new album drops?
I wish all songs came this easily. Don't you miss when overt racists were in power? Enjoy.
