Tribute to the late great Chris Cornell Solo works alongside killer tunes with Audioslave & Soundgarden as well as rocking music by close contemporaries from the grunge scene & beyond...  Listen to Soundgarden Audioslave Chris Cornell & Co by Old Timer in Isan on hearthis.at   Soundgarden have been a firm favorite since 1st hearing Badmotorfinger in 1992. I'd picked up a Sri Lankan bootleg tape copy & was blown away by it on my walkman as I chilled having a few smokes in my hotel room. Stunning stereo effects! Chris Cornell's deep & often disturbing lyrics - with their images of a distressed, tortured world/soul - have a notable air of authenticity & honesty which is reinforced by his outstanding voice & vocal delivery & backed up by Kim Tayil's excellently minimalistic guitar style, the perfect vehicle for these songs. Supergroup Audioslave helped lift him to another level again. The man's music will stand the test of time...

Such fine harmony in this unusual pairing of two instruments from generally disparate traditions. Warm, melodic & atmospheric vocal from Rory.    

  When protest is now longer allowed, what then?   Selection of protest music 1950s-present. The current crackdown on certain modes of dissident action in the West, particularly environmental protest, signals a new era of totalitarianism & suppression of expression. A whole series of legislation, beginning in the 80s, have eroded & removed many of the rights that were formerly taken for granted while the cursed tranfer of power known as privatisation has leeched society and bled regular people dry. That heads of governments are seen to overtly collude with commercial titans & media moguls only reinforces the prevailing mood of helpess futility & inevitability, a feeling reinforced by economic neccessity and, crucially, the law. Criminal injustice at every level & on all fronts.   Listen to High Up There In Gilded Boardrooms by Old Timer in Isan on hearthis.at Traditions of musical resistance that have roots stretching back into antiquity...
