Workin’ Man’s Blues Part II
(Featuring a meditation on Labor Day, and continue a theme I started in Workin’ Man’s Blues Part I.)

Labor Day has never really meant anything to me in the past, mostly because I either had to work or study that day, anyway.  It really only means something when you have a job that gives you the day off – with pay – and that’s something that I never got to experience until I got a real job.  Of course, my disdain for the problems that come with capitalism is something I can’t really shake, no matter how hard I try.  With that in mind, I decided to offer another installment of the Workin’ Man’s Blues, focusing on more songs about work, working, labor, and other such important thoughts.

In the first part of the show, I do a bit of a Noam Chomsky mix, which I was quite proud of.  In part two of the show, I preview a portion of the audio-version of the new ‘zine I just put out.  Then, in part three, I cut to the chase, and bring you a mix of music that suits me right.  It’s a pretty sweet show, if’n you ask me, and I was happy to get a show squeezed in this weekend, among the other stuff I managed to wrap up and finish this weekend.

Fall is approaching, and we’re getting ready to batten down the hatches for the year.  However, we’ll still be producing shows, just at a different rate, and with a slightly different focus.

Short, sweet, and to the point.  Enjoy!
