Try not to lose any fingers today everyone out there on the fireworks court.  Focus more on the apple pie and the veggie dogs and lets make this the best Fourth of July since the first one 233 years ago.

I’ll retrain myself from posting up nothing but Fat Wreck Chords and Jimmy Eat World songs on this patriotic day…. here we go…

It seems appropriate to post up Trouble Hunters from Astronautalis again because as far as I know it is the only I have ever heard that manages to get fist pumping in the air as well as be about Washington crossing the Delaware.

MP3: Astronautalis- Trouble Hunters

Let’s share a rare USA tinged recording from They Might be Giants from their XM session also.

MP3: They Might be Giants- Shadow Government (live on XM)

Finally, gotta love a Kinsella scratchily screaming ‘god bless America’ at the end of this mathy, Houdini referencing rocker.

MP3: Joan of Arc- God Bless America

I could go on all day posting MP3s up that vaguely relate to this great nation of ours.  A nation that plays ‘Dance Your Ass Off’ on TV.  A nation that gives the Jonas Bros a 3-D movie.  A nation that may or may not have ordered a hit on MJ to cover up that guy’s Argentina sex romps using a dimwitted male model. God bless it indeed. 

Really guys, keep those fingers intact today.  Have a good one.
