Greetings Fellow Workers,
I have a favour to ask all of you. The oil fish is back in school and working on another Oily project. This time it will be a website that will feature music, lyrics and images that get at concepts from our social studies curriculum. My hope is to get 12-15 year olds thinking differently about things, and have a bit of fun in the process. If any of you have the time, could you post your recommendations of bands whose music deals with any of the following ideas/issues?
environmental and eco- intelligence or lack thereof
industrialization, urbanization
economics - capitalism, centrally planned, pros and cons, etc...
war and peace
poverty
social justice
technology and change
human rights
political exploitation
imperialism, globalization
etc...etc...
It would be most excellent if you would be so kind as to include specific records/songs with the name of the band.
Obviously the Oils have most of this stuff covered, but I need to offer a bit of variety, otherwise I could just refer all the kids to the Oils via Maurice's wonderful Deadheart site - which I usually do anyway!
This is part of my exit project at grad school - a kind of interactive and practice-based assignment instead of a thesis - so if any of you have the time to post suggestions, I would be very grateful.
Thanks to all and cheers eh!
