Listening to a lot of Dagmar Krause lately, a lot of those Brecht/ Weill/ Eisler songs sounded more than somewhat OTM

Brecht really knew how to put economics in to a pop song. Not that many others have tried. "Tank Battles" is one of my fav albums ever. Petit Mal/Antifamily seem to take a lot from the Brecht outlook, without succumbing to the Bob Fosse-isms of Dresden Dolls.

The first clue that this album predicted 9/11 almost twenty fucking years early is the cover which obv. shows a jumper.
There are many other clues, though. Consider the hit "Saved By Zero". Never mind the ominous title which alone is enough. See the video for conclusive proof:
The video opens with a cut of the NY skyline, with the WTC clearly visible. There are many other noteworthy signs of 9/11 but I draw your attention to the chair falling over at 2:15 and many objects falling over soon thereafter, and especially the person falling through a window at 3:15. In case you have you doubts note the lyrics, written from the perspective of one of the pilots:
Maybe, someday Saved by zero I’ll be more together Stretched by fewer Thoughts that leave me Chasing after My dreams disown me
Loaded with danger Maybe I’ll win Saved by Zero Holding onto Words that teach me I will conquer Space around me
This is an anthem of jihad.
"One Thing Leads To Another" also foretells 9/11 and the aftermath. The video shows an anthrax investigation as well as repeated foreshadowing of governmental torture (shackles, underground tunnels in CIA "black sites", the dogs of Abu Ghraib). Note the last verse:
Then it's easy to believeSomebody's been lying to meBut when the wrong word goes in the right earI know you've been lying to meIt's getting rough, off the cuffI've got to say enough's enoughBigger the harder he fallsBut when the wrong antidoteIs like a bulge on the throatYou run for cover in the heatWhy don't they
Not just a reference to falling, but to antidotes (anthrax), running for cover in the heat (of explosions).
The final coup is the 2000 remix of the tune by J. Benitez, who is a professor of emergency medicine (holy shit) at the University of Rochester in NEW YORK holy holy shit.

This still freaks me out: Nomeansno's Wrong was what I had in the discman when I took it to work on 9/11/2001. Second song on that album is "The Tower"; these are the lyrics:
The sword of thruth is just another weapon Let me live for one more second I see a woman she's holding flowers A bouquet of roses that are blood red From a burning building, a man leaps to his death I stand above these mansions of the death Red tombs and above us looms The Tower
I see red I see a tower against the sky Beneath a red unblinking eye
Radiowaves curve and cross I stand below them - Lost ! Above me is a black obelisk And the dangers that i risk Here gather the ghosts of the mind That tear my heard and here i find All that traps that have been set Everything i would forget, beneath The Tower
Violence is close at hand You are damned if you do And if you don't - Dammed ! A red eye, A tyrant full of hate Glares from the sky, It's captive state If it should blink ordeviate A thousand words would obliterate I do not move, nor do i speak Beneath that hard and pitiless peak Of concrete , steel and antennae wheels The Tower
Again, that's the second song on the album. Presuming I began to play the disc immediately upon arrival at work at 9am EST, that means that I was listening to "The Tower" at the exact moment the second WTC tower was hit. Weird...

My worklplace was right opposite the grounds of Toronto's Pearson Airport, where planes were being constantly diverted all morning long.
On a more lighthearted note, this verse from Bob Dylan's "Tiny Montgomery"...
Now, he's king of the drunks An' he squeezes, tooWatch out, LesterTake it Lou ...clearly looks ahead nearly a decade to the Lester Bangs/Lou Reed verbal battles of 1975-76, as documented in the pages of CREEM Magazine. "King of the drunks" could be either Bangs or Reed, while the "squeezes" bit must be a reference to the Velvet Underground's one non-Lou album.

YES. And Lange went on to marry Shania Twain, whose first name is chillingly only one letter away from "Sharia" and whose single "That Don't Impress Me Much" sums up the loathing felt by Islamic extremists for decadent western culture.

When you were young you were the king of carrot flowersAnd how you built a tower tumbling through the treesIn holy rattlesnakes that fell all 'round your feet
Your mum would stick a fork right into daddy's shoulderAnd dad would throw the garbage all across the floor
As we would lay and learn what each other's bodies were for
And this is the room one afternoon I knew I could love youAnd from above you how I sank into your soulInto that secret place where no one dares to go
Your mum would drink until she was no longer speakingAnd dad would dream of all the different ways to dieEach one a little more than he could dare to try

Here's to Shutting Up is the eighth studio album by Superchunk. Brian Paulson, who served as co-producer, previously worked with the band on 1994's Foolish.
On this album, the band continued to develop away from the fuzzy punk-pop of its earlier days to something more textured. Keyboards, strings and acoustic guitars abound, and even a pedal steel makes an appearance on "Phone Sex."
The band left "Phone Sex" out of the initial performances of the accompanying tour; with the 11 September 2001 attacks a painfully fresh memory, the members felt uncomfortable performing a song featuring the lyrics "Plane crash footage on TV / I know, I know that could be me."

The only album I ever got kinda weird about listening to post-9/11 was Firewater's Psychopharmacology, which was released in summer '01, mainly for the songs "Black Box Recording" (for obvious reasons) and "The Man With The Blurry Face" (which opens with the line "it started off like a regular Tuesday" and just generally alludes to some kind of vague murder/disaster situation).

Note the 3 towers in the middle: 2 for the WTC and 1 for Tower 7. Surrounded by falling debris. Also track 6 is "Una Paloma Blanca" - a WHITE DOVE, a bird in the sky, like a jumbo jet. Side 2 features "Monster Mash" (no explanation needed) followed by "Give It Up" (ditto). Finally, the cover of Joy Division's "Atmosphere" opens the album with a foreboding mood. "Leave in silence" indeed.
Rating: Chilling.

The Man With The Blurry Face is particularly terrifying seeing as you could actually see the blurry face of Osama Bin Laden in the billowing clouds of 9/11 ash.

There must be some kind of way out of hereSaid the joker to the thiefTheres too much confusionI cant get no relief
clear references to the confusion of those in the towers, the 'thief' of corporate america as represented by the WTC, and the villain 'joker' who perished by fallin from a tall building in tim burton's commie bashing 'batman'
in the denouement of the final verse-
Two riders were approachinAnd the wind began to howl

Scorpions have already been mentioned above; on 1978's Taken by Force, they prognosticated:
Another king of rock is born in '77Just born to be there when it's dark'94, '95, if the world is still aliveWith the start of the riot of your timeHere's a ticket for a burning trainTo set the world in flameTo play the hero's gameThe riot of your timeHere's a ticket for the future daysYou'll be the guitar kingWhen your electric playsThe riot of your timeA new generation's mindThe riot of your time
Joe Bonnamassa was born May 8, 1977. Before he reached eighteen years old, Bonamassa was playing in a band called Bloodline with the sons of Miles Davis, Robby Krieger and Berry Oakley. Although Bloodline did not become a famous act, it attracted some attention to Bonamassa's guitar chops.
