Musicians go PrObama
(It's cheesy, but I love putting words together to make new ones; that's called a "portmanteau." Anyway, the post ...)
Musicians are rallying for Obama, with some pretty neat tunes. Above is "Cumbia de Obama," by Fosforo. You can download it and read the bilingual lyrics here.
Extra Golden is featured on Ear Farm for their Afropop Obama salute.
And local band Clare and the Reasons, who I've mention before, is giving away their Obama song, "Obama Over the Rainbow."
Stereogum is not so hot on ex-Eurythmic Dave Stewart's prObama contribution (neither are we, when it comes to it), but there are a lot of high profile people (Whoopi Goldberg, Forest Whitaker, Joss Stone, Macy Gray, Barry Manilow, Margaret Cho...) in the video.
And, not a song, but an interview with NY Mag reveals that Obama has locked up the RZA endorsement (though as he mentions, he himself can't vote because he's been convicted of a felony).
— eh
