Occupy / Song Addendum to Songs for the Revolution: Anika "Masters of War"
Posted by Grant Brissey on Fri, Nov 4, 2011 at 11:11 AM
Last week we compiled some songs for the Occupation. I'd like to add another to that: Anika's cover of Bob Dylan's "Masters of War." First of all, we know that Dylan is an overrated, pretentious prick, and his version is way old and about the Vietnam War. Anika's cover adds much: There's something defiant and militaristic about dub—maybe it's those menacing bass lines that always feel like they're sneaking up on something. Add the monolog from a U.S. soldier from the other occupation—abortion/trainwreck in Iraq. Have a listen:
