The BP Gulf Disaster is at the forefront of our minds at the moment. It has been inspiring a multitude of thoughts and emotions, none of which are pleasant. Lurking amongst the despair, fear and uncertainty is a considerable amount of anger towards BP and their ilk: all-powerful corporations that don’t think twice about jeopardizing the global ecology in pursuit of wealth. Grrrr!! Well fuck them. Here are some songs that we feel capture that sentiment:

You know they don’t give a fuck about anybody else
