X - "The New World"

X is a noted punk rock band, formed in Los Angeles in 1977. While they achieved only limited mainstream success, they were widely considered one of the most accessible and tuneful of Los Angeles' many punk bands. Their landmark 1980 record Los Angeles resonated so loudly with the artisans of the city it is named after, that the band received an Official Certificate of Recognition from the City of Los Angeles in acknowledgment of their important contributions to Los Angeles music and culture. They were hugely influential on various genres of music, including punk, hardcore, folk and protest music. Exene especially was known for her political activism.

Original members were Exene Cervenka, John Doe, Billy Zoom, and DJ Bonebrake. After Zoom retired from the band, Dave Alvin, then Tony Gilkyson replaced him on guitar. Zoom reunited with X in 1998. The original line-up now tours not-so-sporadically.

Just put a big picture of Barack Obama up instead of the lame graphics and listen to the song again....fuck health care... its the economy stupid.

[Corporations8MyBaby]

Uh. Dude,The economy suffers because of scumbag "investment" bankers who need to be jailed and the rising cost of services, chief among them health ins. costs which grow at over 3x the rate of inflation. It was better before, before we voted for Reagan. But it's not just the president. Social Justice comes from the ground up. Bands write songs that make us think & over times things change because we want them to. Conservatives & Liberals both love X. We can agree: US poverty is stems from GREED.

[Corporations8MyBaby]

For the information of all listening... I took some time remastering the audio to sound good on YouTube. I think it's nice and full. This is definitely one to share for the Audio. - c

[chillimansarmy]

Honestly, THUMBS UP if you're sick and tired of reading SHIT like what the DICKHEAD @loopmaster1 below me wrote. And he did it twice! The fucking dickhead ..... It makes me realize that while our ancestors were writing poetry, his ancestors were still swinging from the trees. Somebody steal his fucking laptop. DICKHEAD!

[JulieinSeattle]

Best band of the New Wave/Punk era. Take it from someone who was there, and get some of their music.

@sleeplessmedia - fuck health care? Wow, that's really intelligent.

[haileycb18]

@chillimansarmy I used to get angry about monkeys flinging poop like @loopmaster1... but then I took an arrow to the knee. Now I sit in the kitchen and make sandwiches...

[loopmaster1]

@misterjonesin Occupy my anus you'll get more than from Wall Street!

[Corporations8MyBaby]

@misterjonesin - absolutely, and every town in the nation. Occupy the big town where you live too.
