Video: Mayda CD Release Party @ Triple Rock Social Club

St. Paul songstress Mayda displays a strongly deadpan sense of humor in this promo clip for her CD release show this Saturday at the Triple Rock. There, she will be celebrating her latest disc, The Interrogation, by releasing it into the wild, by which I mean into the forest of consumers, who can purchase the disc there. Or at Cheapo. Or at any of the other fine, independently-owned record stores that Mayda mentions in the vid.

Check out the video at the top of the post. Below, check the flyer:

Today is Mayday, a holiday that has been devoted to many things, as you will read once you click the link. However, for the purpose of this post, I'll stick with the revolution interpretation. I figured it would be appropriate to post some songs with revolutionary overtones (even if they may be tangential). Hope you enjoy listening to them.
