Hunting for Witches (Scott, Sean, & Bobdaduck)

This week we were joined by the History in Music Podcast catalyst and overall Eiffel 65 enthusiast Bobdaduck. Bob's song suggestion for this episode was Bloc Party's Hunting for Witches (released 1/25/2007). The song mentions both the September 11 and July 7 terrorist attacks in New York City and London respectively. Specifically the singer lampoons the mainstream media and what he perceives as a fomentation of fear with the express purpose of controlling the populace in a time of crisis. Not familiar with 7/7? Is the liberal pie in the sky utopian dream of the western melting pot/"diversity is our strength" mantra still possible? Listen in to find out!
