Songs in the Key of America
I didn't mean to let Independence Day slide without posting some tunes...
mp3:Violent Femmes - American Music
Barcelona - West Coast Radio
mp3:Ramones - California Sun
mp3:Her Space Holiday - From South Carolina
mp3:Sufjan Stevens - Say Yes! to Michigan!
mp3:Sufjan Stevens - Come on! Feel the Illinoise!
mp3:The New Amsterdams - Idaho
mp3:B-52s - Private Idaho
mp3:They Might Be Giants - New York City
John Linnell's "Montana" is available as a free download at Amazon. I have his State Songs CD, but can't find it. Grrr.
mp3:James Brown - Living in America
Linkage That, Unlike Those Songs, Is Actually Directly Related to Independence Day: The Declaration of Independence -- this is not a geeky link, dammit. Okay, maybe it is, but it's still nifty. There's a scan of the Declaration, an image of the rough draft, and of an engraving, and plenty of info about the signing, the signers, and the Declaration House. This is one of the sections at ushistory.org.
