The Tisdales (via citygirldebbie)

I missed the Tinsdales at the Hexagon last week. Fortunately, Debbia Donovan got this great video of Rich Mattson and company.

Their new CD is called A Baker’s Dozen. They open for the Belfast Cowboys on December 3rd, 2008 at First Avenue when the Belfast Cowboys and St. Dominics Trio will release new CDs as well.

Here’s the new video from live hip-hop band, Heiruspecs, from Saint Paul, MN. It was directed by John Kingman. The video is set to their new song, “Get Up,” the lead single off of their new self-titled record, which will be released on December 13, 2008.

Heiruspecs celebrated their 10 year anniversary this year.

In an email from Heiruspecs bass player Sean McPherson, he suggests this might be what happens if Barack Obama were ever to take a day off, that he might “hit a record store, staple up some “Change” posters, emcee at a house party and breakdance. It’s probably the same stuff that happens up in Crawford, TX when Dubya takes a day or a month off.”

Lyrics:

Obama on the left
McCain on the right
We can talk politics all night
And you can vote however you like
You can vote however you like, yeah

Democratic left
Republican right
November 4th we decide
And you can vote however you like
You can vote however you like, yeah

(McCain supporters)
McCain is the man
Fought for us in Vietnam
You know if anyone can
Help our country he can
Taxes droppin low
Dont you know oils gonna flow
Drill it low
I’ll show our economy will grow

McCain’s the best candidate
With Palin as his running mate
They’ll fight for gun rights, pro life,
The conservative right
Our future is bright
Better economy in site
And all the world will feel our military might

(Obama supporters)
But McCain and Bush are real close right
They vote alike and keep it tight
Obama’s new, he’s younger too
The Middle Class he will help you
He’ll bring a change, he’s got the brains
McCain and Bush are just the same
You are to blame, Iraq’s a shame
Four more years would be insane

Lower your Taxes - you know Obama Won’t
PROTECT THE LOWER CLASS - You know McCain won’t!
Have enough experience - you know that they don’t
STOP GLOBAL WARMING - you know that you won’t

I want Obama
FORGET OBAMA
Stick with McCain and you’re going to have some drama
We need it
HE’LL BRING IT
He’ll be it
YOU’LL SEE IT
We’ll do it
GET TO IT
Let’s move it
DO IT!

Obama on the left
McCain on the right
We can talk politics all night
And you can vote however you like
You can vote however you like, yeah

Democratic left
Republican right
November 4th we decide
And you can vote however you like, I said
You can vote however you like, yeah

I’m talking big pipe lines, and low gas prices
Below $2.00 that would be nice

But to do it right we gotta start today
Finding renewable ways that are here to stay

I want Obama
FORGET OBAMA,
Stick wit McCain you gone have some drama
MORE WAR IN IRAQ
Iran he will attack
CAN’T BRING OUR TROOPS BACK
We gotta vote Barack!

Obama on the left
McCain on the right
We can talk politics all night
And you can vote however you like, I said
You can vote however you like, yeah

Democratic left
Republican right
November 4th we decide
And you can vote however you like, I said
You can vote however you like, yeah
