    About this ebook

    Undoubtedly the most popular book in American labor history, the I.W.W.'s Little Red Song Book has been a staple item on picket lines and workers' gatherings for generations and has gone through numerous editions. As a result of I.W.W. efforts to keep up with the times, however, recent versions of the songbook have omitted most of the old-time favorites, especially the raucous lyrics of the free-spirited hoboes who made up such a large portion of the union's membership in its heyday. Reprinted here is the 19th edition, originally issued in 1923, the year the I.W.W. reached its peak membership. Of the 52 songs in this book, the overwhelming majority have not been included in the I.W.W.'s own songbooks for many years. Here are such classics as Joe Hill's “John Golden and the Lawrence Strike,” “We Will Sing One Song,” “Scissor Bill,” “The Tramp,” and others; T-Bone Slim's “I'm Too Old to Be a Scab,” “Mysteries of a Hobo's Life,” “I Wanna Free Miss Liberty,” and others; Ralph Chaplin's “All Hell Can't Stop Us,” “Up from Your Knees,” “May Day Song,” and more; and other songs by C. G. Allen, Richard Brazier, Pat Brennan, James Connelly, Laura Payne Emerson, and many others.

      Synth Pop

      Sep 9, 2020

      It’s hard to say where synth pop began – maybe with Roxy Music and the artful wobble of Eno’s VCS 3. Kraftwerk had an undeniable influence, as did Bowie’s Low LP. One could argue that it rose from the ashes of punk, with its emphasis on simplistic s

      The British session bassist Brian ‘Herbie’ Flowers (“I get booked because of my stupid name!”) told us last time we interviewed him that he’s recorded over 20,000 sessions. This barely-imaginable number of studio dates took place over 50 years, which

      WHILE READING THIS issue’s stories (which I do, over and over and over and over again), I couldn’t help but notice a bit of sad Judas Priest-centric irony. On page 20, HammerFall’s Oscar Dronjak mentions the vintage dream-team combination of Judas Pr
