World Entertainment War

I purchased this album after reading Rob Brezsny's book "PRONOIA"

" Pronoia Is the Antidote for Paranoia, Revised and Expanded: How the Whole World Is Conspiring to Shower You with Blessings "

A good read, in my opinion.

A book worth perusing, by the way.

Anyway, I purchased this album mainly because I liked the book and the ideas it espoused .

Just looking at the tittles of the songs had me intrigued.

So, I sent away for a copy, and was pleasantly surprised when it turned out to be quite a catchy little CD, as well. 
 You can sample a track here if you want to hear how they sound.

It would be great to hear some of these songs covered by some modern mainstream singers and bands.

I just love how they describe themselves in their Bio;

World Entertainment War Fights the Genocide of the Imagination

When you're too well-entertained to move, screaming is good exercise, so please scream along with us!

We will succeed where the paranoids have failed!

We will take back the airwaves from the entertainment criminals!

Long live the primordial music of our televisionary revolution!

World Entertainment War is a BENEVOLENT MEDIA VIRUS programmed to PREVENT the ENTERTAINMENT CRIMINALS from STEALING YOUR IMAGINATION

Visualize a pagan revival meeting mixed with a dance therapy session and a cynics' pep rally and a tribal hoedown and a lecture at the "Anarchists Just Wanna Have Fun" Think Tank.
