"Don't Go Near the Water" makes the list. Not the worst of reviews actually.

RS also just had a blurb on the Japan 'DFTS' 45.

Seems like the pre-Smile PR machine is amping up nicely.

I cannot believe that Summer In Paradise missed the cut

I agree. At least DGNTW was good music. I agree the bridge is a bit cheesy though.

At least they chose a good picture

A good picture, albeit an incongruous one

How come nobody makes ANTI environmental songs?  People make anti everything else music, why not anti environmental songs, about polluting, destroying the ozone layer on purpose, murdering animals, etc.  I may have to start a new band. 

I mean rappers rap about killing people, beating women.  Others sing about helping people, loving women.  People sing in support of government, and against government.  Some sing about peace, some sing about violence, you'd think somebody'd do something ANTI environmental for once.

I have yet to listen to the DFTS 7 inch, but is it really a NEW version as RS reports OR simply the version recorded for Postcard?

There HAS to be some terrible garage-punk-rap-screamo band on youtube that does something like this. Problem is the environmentally conscious record companies won't sign them...thus, unless we do a tiresome 2 hour search on google for it, we'll never hear this music.

Considering the lows of political incorrectness music down to which music can stoop - think RAC, NS black metal, pornogrind, even NS pop - I don't see anti-environment music being THAT far out in left field. Of course the irony is that virtually all RAC and NS bands/artists are very much pro-environment but anti-everyone-who-isn't-"Aryan".

[Ron]

Yeah, that's kinda what I'm getting at... compared to other things people say for shock value, nobody you've ever heard of has done anti-environmental stuff.  Just a thought, lol.
