I've enjoyed and listened to this album many times but I've done none of the things you've mentioned. Amazing how music can connect people.
I will always love this album. I listened to it after I did a 27.3 mile fast-pack on the kesugi ridge trail in Denali S.P. in 2007, during which I was struck by lightning at mile 18, and then had to bike back another 17 miles to my car. When I got back to my car and tended to my injuries and started driving home to Fairbanks, where I lived then...I played Cosmic Game over and over, reflecting on the fact that I was still alive. All their music makes me feel good!

great segue from dave mason 
Is this peppy?
Is this bouncy?
Back and forth. Back and forth. How can one person decide?

Yes. What we need is one big colossal, bureaucratic organization, The State, to supplant the corporations, because all people who work for corporations are evil, and all State, Federal, and Local government employees are good. In fact, we should combine the best elements of the mom and pop corner grocery (usually run by the pop, i.e. a dominant husky male, father figure type) and make this pop make all the key decisions about the economy, and how we live our lives, settle our differences, express ourselves. That would fix everything. One vote is all it takes (it's BTW, the last vote). They tried this I think in, uh, Germany I think about 80 years ago. Worked out pretty good.

I will add my voice to the chorus of oldies (69) who actually get occasional pleasure from this song. But you have to admit that Weird Al's video parody is absolutely brilliant.

There's always one jerk in every crowd who has to make some idiotic political statement. Let me buy you a clue, enjoy the music and keep your political views to yourself.

I'm thinking a more avuncular figure would be more suitable than a pop. Something like, oh I don't know, how about an Uncle Joe? Who can you trust if not old Uncle Joe? Uncle Joe has your back.

Segued from English Beat's Mirror in the Bathroom. Hmmm. I like it. 
Groovy piece of music that shows, that creative people didn't surrender.

Sheesh. They're nothing like the Stones. That's like saying that Mozart doesn't have the same patriotic fervor of Toby Keith. In both cases, yeah, maybe so, but what's the point? Does that basically mean that anything that isn't the Stones or doesn't slavishly imitate them is weak? Puleeeeaze.
Sounds like Bill has 'left the building' and hit 'repeat play' on the track listings again!!

I do too. However it just underscores the weakness of this compared to the Stones. This lacks an edge, an energy. It sounds like Santana playing in the lounge of a hotel.

Thievery has their own record label. ESLmusic.com. You may find other artists you like. I like Thunderball and Ursula 2000. You can also buy directly from the web site.

Great to know that more modern bands are using Brazilian influences... Our music is so rich. The best, in my opinion.
Oi! Theivery Corporation has had so many wonderful vocalists throughout their various releases. Singers from Brasil, Cape Verde, France, Canada, the Caribbean, and more. It is fantastic to listen to one of their CDs and to hear so many languages represented. :)
Going to their first of 3 shows at the 9:30 Club in DC tonight! Can't Wait!
Also, you can read a review of their album, The Cosmic Game, that I wrote on my website here:

I have agreed with all the songs I have heard from these guys.

I'm at work doing my thing and out of nowhere I notice this is not English... but I understand it! It took me a while to figure out that it was Portuguese! Hahaha I've been in the US for such a long time that when I hear my own native language it sounds weird, so unexpected...

This has SUCH a Santana Abraxas groove -- I keep waiting for Carlos to come in with a solo...
