War (If It Feels Good

An excellent collection of political cut-and-paste produced music focused on the Iraq war and dubya’s warmongering. The tracks by Cat Five, Iraq Attack DJs, The Desert DJ’s, DJ Killabush and Guerrilla News Network(GNN) are the results of their obsessive taping of dubya each time he comes near a mic. Mr. Lif, Steinski,, Public Enemy and Boots Riley contribute pieces. The DJs of Mass Destruction cut and paste Jello Biafro on track 27. Lots of gems here, pick one and play.
