We wrote "My Heart Belongs to Cleveland" as a response to Republicans in Congress who pledge support for working people but oppose the Employee Free Choice Act. If card check is good enough to decertify a union, it should be good enough to certify one.

This is our first new song in ages. Thanks for sticking with us. We hope the mandolin part was worth the wait. We wrote “My Heart Belongs to Cleveland” as a response to Republicans in Congress who pledge support for working people but oppose the Employee Free Choice Act...

Max and the Marginalized
They’ve both lost key members. It’s up to two of Chicago’s finest to replace them. Nearly everyone with an opinion and an internet connection has an idea of who the replacement should be. Yes, the Supreme Court and the Smashing Pumpkins have a lot in common right now...

Here’s an experiment done by a student at my non-alma mater alma mater, NYU. She built a robot that could only move forward and decided to see if strangers would help it circumvent obstacles to get from one corner of Washington Square Park to the other, presumably without buying drugs...

So, we’re making a full-length album. We’re keeping a few of the earlier recordings but mostly rerecording songs...
Max and the Marginalized
Hi everyone! Sorry for the slowdown. We’re recording an album next week so we’ll be action packed soon. In the meantime, I’ve been doing little music blogs at Crooks and Liars at their Late Night Music Club, check them out!

This is the best blog post I’ve read on the internets in about a year. Written by Emptywheel. This Miracle Brought to You By America’s Unions by Emptywheel They’re calling it a miracle–the successful landing of a US Airways jet in the Hudson and subsequent rescue of all 155 passengers...

My girl: In honor of the tinest, most attractive trojan horse of evil’s penultimate press conference, I figured it’s time to repost our old ode to Dana Perino from over a year ago: 4. Dana, Dana

For our first song of 2009, we are adding our guitars, drums and voices to the chorus of opposition to Caroline Kennedy’s possible Senate appointment, which keeps seesawing to and away from inevitability...

NEW YORK - It’s been a very long time since we did a pro-migrant tune (Week #6, “Weeknights at Six“, about Lou Dobbs) and it’s time for another. Southern California welcomed me with open arms when I moved there nine years ago from New York City...

A fine one from our pals at Brave New Films: Merry Xmas!

Hello hello. So, we’re at I think the song 60 mark. As you can see, we’ve slowed down a little bit upon making it to a year...

My colleague in my non-derelict professional life James Boyce has a blog up at HuffPo about the 2 billion dollar quarterly decline in ad revenue that the Newspaper business has found itself in, and (correctly) asserts that it’s the newspapers’ fault. That, by the way, is a quarterly drop...

Well, it’s finally here. You can have WiFi on an airplane. Dave and Jon drove back after our show in SF Friday night but I stayed to hang out with my former bandmates from The Actual and now am on a plane. Virgin America now has WiFi...

I’ve heard reasonable arguments from smart people on either side of the “should we bail out the autos” debate, and I unfortunately suffer from the affliction of being heavily influenced by the last person to leave the room, so my jury’s out...

Well, we did it. We kicked the Republicans out of the white house. I’m more proud than ever to be a Democrat. Here in California, my state sadly shamefully voted to write discrimination into its constitution and cease to recognize gay marriage. It’s a sad footnote to a happy day...

I updated the Marginography (the ever growing zip file of all our songs) for the first time in ages. It has 55 songs, including the never-downloadable-before acoustic track “Antiseptic”, which I recorded in 100 degree heat in the van in Tulsa, OK...

We wrote “Proposition Hate” because the effort to deny same-sex couples the right to marry in our home state of California deserves a fast, loud and angry song. Enjoy. You can “buy” the song by making a contribution to defeat Proposition 8 at our Punk Rock vs. Prop 8 ActBlue page...

We’re a little late to the party on calling McCain/Palin out on all their hard work firing up the ugliest tendencies in their supporters, but this venture into dub reggae territory is our contribution...

Last week we posted a song here about McCain’s medical records called To Your Health. Our good friend made a very silly video for it where we go inside his body a la Innerspace to find out what’s really going on only to get mauled by Sarah Palin spiders. Enjoy!
