Caucus Rock
January 3, 2008
Andrew and I are coming up with a list of songs to commemorate tonight’s Iowa caucus. It began as a joke, but now we really want to make this mix a good one. Here’s what we’ve come up with so far:
Obama – Extra Golden (for Obama, obviously)
Race for the Prize – The Flaming Lips
I Saw Her at the Anti War Demonstration – Jens Lekman (for Kucinich, because Jens references vegan pancakes. And Kucinich is a vegan and anti war).
Just Like a Woman – Bob Dylan (For Clinton. Obvi.)
US Mill – The Mountain Goats (Edwards)
Strangest Times – Jon Brion (This song is from the I Heart Huckabees soundtrack. I picked this one only because how my friends from Arkansas go on about how weird it is that Huckabee has become so well known. The other option for his song would be Diana Ross’s “I’m Coming Out” a la how he went all Jenny Craig.)
The Naming of Things – Andrew Bird
We’re still working on this, so suggestions are gladly accepted!
