    I'm a huge fan of Flobots, they're a bit different than the previous ones posted, here's a few videos.

    They have a bunch more, check out their album Fight with Tools. They have a new one, but I haven't listened to all of it.

    Also here's a few "rhymes of the day" from their lead singer

    Jonny 5's Rhyme of the Day 4-27-10 "By the time I get to Arizona (2010)"

    don't compete; coexist

    what are you but my reflection? who am i to judge or strike you down?

    "I will promise you this, that if we have not gotten our troops out by the time I am president, it is the first thing I will do. I will get our troops home. We will bring an end to this war. You can take that to the bank." - Barack Obama

    when you told me 'if you can't beat 'em, join 'em'
    i was thinkin 'death before dishonor'
