Invade Rage
It's my turn (courtesy of Arthur Vandelay) to come up with a list of 20 songs I'd play if I were to enter Rage's be-a-guest-programmer-for-a-night competition. Here's my choices...
Rage Against the Machine - People of the Sun
Pantera - Mouth for War
Metallica - One
Peter Bjorn & John - Young Folks
Placebo - Special K
John Butler Trio - Home is Where the Heart is
The Chemical Brothers - Galvanize
Pearl Jam - Even Flow
Down - Stone the Crow
Snoop Doggy Dogg - Gin and Juice
The Whitlams - Charlie #2 (Buy Now Pay Later)
Regurgitator - Black Bugs
The Beastie Boys - Shake Your Rump
Bernard Fanning - Wish You Well
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Soul to Squeeze
The Streets - Fit But You Know It
Korn - Freak on a Leash
REM - Bad Day
INXS - To Look at You
Radiohead - Paranoid Android
...and here's my justifications for five of those choices:
John Butler Trio - Home is Where the Heart is
Awesome band. Awesome song. "And they are lookin for a freedom that most of us don't appreciate, But you know man we can't let them in 'cos the government's full of racial hate." Sums up the refugee situation perfectly.

White guys rapping right. You just gotta love the use of the fish eye lens in this clip too. Paul's Boutique was their best effort in my opinion and they definately should have stopped on the reasonably high note that was Hello Nasty.
Bernard Fanning - Wish You Well
Catchy song with a clever video clip to boot. I'm quite a fan of Powderfinger, yet I've never gotten around to picking up Bernard Fannings' solo album. I've heard good things so I really should pull my finger out.

Pantera always helped my get through a weight lifting session. I'd be thinking "Maybe I should call it a day" and then the lyrics "Pulling and punching the rest of duration, no one can piss on this determination!" would have me doing another set on the bench press. RIP Dimebag Darrell.
The Chemical Brothers create a sound like nothing else. I saw them at the Big Day Out several years back and you simply couldn't wipe the smirk off my face after I walked out of the Boiler Room. This clip is awesome - how cool is the "dance off" at the end!
