You two are voting the right way for the wrong reasons.
Quite apart from what the song's actually about ("a lifetime serving one machine is ten times worse than prison"), it's absolutely possible to rob a bank with out hurting anyone.

Flex will know about cyber theft, or is that cyborg theft?

It's inherently romantic, and what's more, banks will not be harmed so who cares.Silent Majority wrote: ↑12 Apr 2019, 3:54pmFreedom from an inequitable, inescapable system doesn't need to be romanticised.Olaf wrote: ↑12 Apr 2019, 3:50pmAnd that's not romanticising?Silent Majority wrote: ↑12 Apr 2019, 3:40pmYou two are voting the right way for the wrong reasons.

Yeah. I don't give a shit if a bank gets a taste of its own medicine. But let's not lose sight of the fact that the song has a good time with cowboy archetypes in service to an anti-wage slave message.Kory wrote: ↑12 Apr 2019, 4:10pmIt's inherently romantic, and what's more, banks will not be harmed so who cares.Silent Majority wrote: ↑12 Apr 2019, 3:54pmFreedom from an inequitable, inescapable system doesn't need to be romanticised.Olaf wrote: ↑12 Apr 2019, 3:50pmAnd that's not romanticising?Silent Majority wrote: ↑12 Apr 2019, 3:40pmYou two are voting the right way for the wrong reasons.

Re: ROUND 7 - Non-Album Tracks - Part Two
I have a feeling I would have like Bankrobber more if they'd kept the original arrangement. I loved the bits where the drums went double time, it gave the song some variation that it needs. I wish they'd recorded it in that form too.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

I'd love to have the original ska version as well as the dubbed out one we got.
