robert newman - history of oil / from caliban to the taliban

[luke]

a bumper day for uploads today, here robs apocalypso now to complete the trilogy

https://www.sendspace.com/file/enupct

the first cd has some of the same material as history of oil, hence the feeling of deja vu if you've already watched the video ;)

Recorded live at The Tricycle Theatre, London. Newman's witty, satirical and surreal stand up covers the gamut from how an invasion of Iraq was one of the primary reasons for the first world war, how the switch from Dollars to Euros caused the second invasion of Iraq through to William Wordsworth - political insurrectionist and how to have a police state without any police. Insightful, thought provoking and very funny.

Full tracklist

CD1 : Survival Guide / Tour Of The USA / P45 to AK47 / 1st World War / Iraq Wars - Question Time / Euro Dollar Theory / Dali / Magic Cheque Book / US Gangster / China / Mexican Survivial Guide / Gentrification Song.

CD2 : Wordsworth / Troubadour Song / French Plot / Police State / Thelwell / Walking Fantasy / Watching Wordsworth / Alienation Song / Thelwell & Coleridge / ID Cards / Peak Oil / Apocalypse Song / WW2 - Churchill / Phone In / Landlord.
