Not much time this week, which doesn’t explain why I chose a song that would need a lot of exposition to make it even come close to being a valid geoMp3 of The Week. So here are some fragments and you can piece it together if you want. If you care.

Obama elected despite old-timey shouts of “socialism” and “red” from opponent. Real socialist Che Guevara celebrated in song written for WNYC’s Soundcheck radio show songwriting contest. Song is a clever alternative scenario where Guevara pulls up lame, well short of any real revolutionary action. Song is beautifully, languidly performed by One Ring Zero (Want proof? Witness the song performed by its original author and you’ll see a big difference between a band that crafts songs and a guy who overenthusiastically mimics acoustic pop riffs.) Song being placed at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave, where the cool demeanor of the song itself reflects much more the demeanor of the new president than the rabid, aggressive, reactionary demeanor of the last one. Want proof? Ask those confused, dumb fuckers at Guantanimo or those dead, dead fuckers who used to be at La Cabaña Fortress before they got squelched by Guevara. Ask them how much they think Obama resembles a dangerous, socialist terrorist. If Obama is really a dangerous Guevarian maniac, it sure looks like he’s been waking up on Che Guevara Mondays lately. (Convincing?)

“Che Guevara Monday,” from the Soundcheck songwriting contest.

And the kml for all mp3s of the week.
