Abandoners top 5 domestic violence songs...

A very serious matter that I feels needs addressing.

Maybe we should write a song about it...



5. Independence Day - Martina McBride

"She tried to pretend he wasn't drinking again
But Daddy left the proof on her cheek"


4. Luka- Suzanne Vega

"They only hit until you cry
And after that you don't ask why"

3. Behind the wall- Tracey Chapman

"Last night I heard the screaming
Then a silence that chilled my soul"


2. Face down- Red Jumpsuit Apparatus

"do you feel better now?
as she falls to the ground"


1. Never again- Nickleback

"The living room becomes a boxing ring
It's time to run when you see him clenching his hands"


All very moving songs with a serious message... But what's YOUR favourite domestic violence song? Answers on a postcard...

Band? What band?

If Rich is allowed to post completely irrelevant crap (shinfo?) then so am I. We were meant to be recording this weekend but Jeff who captures our walls of noise on tape had a family emergency so all being well we're tracking next weekend instead. Anyway to pass the time i've been working my way through this gem of a blog:

Basically the format is man-reviews-films-that-underperformed-either-critically-or-at-the-box-office-or-both. One of which is the Nicholas Cage disaster that is the Wicker Man remake, (http://www.avclub.com/articles/my-year-of-flops-case-file-21the-wicker-man,15203/) which led me on to these glorious best of clips:

If the sight of a man inexplicably dressed as a bear even more inexplicably punching a woman in the face doesn't make you at least giggle then God help us all.
