"Political" is a song by Spirit of the West. One of the band's most famous songs, it originally appeared on the 1988 album ''Labour Day (album)Labour Day''. The song was written by John Mann (musician)John Mann.Despite the band's reputation for writing politicspolitically-themed songs, "Political" is in fact about the end of a personal romantic relationship. The verses detail the friction that led to the couple's breakup, and the chorus confirms that "Everything, every little thing, every little thing/With you and me had to be so political."Although the song was not a mainstream chart breakthrough for the band, it garnered them significant airplay on CBC Radio OneCBC Radio, CFNY and campus radio stations throughout Canada. This expansion of the band's audience led to a major label deal with Warner Music Canada, who released the band's next studio album, ''Save This House'', in 1990. On 1991's ''Go Figure'', Spirit of the West's first rock musicrock album, the band recorded a new rendition of the song. Although the lyrics remained identical (except for the word "little" being dropped from the chorus), the melody was moderately different and the instrumentation was more electric and rhythm-heavy. The 1991 version was released as a CD single, with the B-sides "Home For a Rest", "Sad But True" and "Again and Again and Again".However, the new version proved controversial: at a concert in London, Ontario during their tour to promote that album, fans presented the band with a petition demanding that they play the original version of the song. As a result, on subsequent tours the band have always performed a third version of the song, which retained the rock instrumentation of the remake while reverting to the original melody.In a 1993 concert performance on Public Radio International's ''Mountain Stage'' series, Mann explained some of the song's backstory. The song was apparently written about a real relationship Mann had once had, which ended while the couple were travelling in New York City. (This performance appears on the album ''Upfront! Canadians Live from Mountain Stage''.)In 1995, "Political" was included in the band's concert with the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra. The version recorded at that show appears on their 1999 greatest hits compilation ''Hit Parade (album)Hit Parade''.In 1999, "Political" was named one of CFNY's "Top 1002 New Rock Songs of All Time", ranking 524th. It ranked immediately ahead of The Verve Pipe's "Photograph" in 525th place, and behind Sting's "If You Love Somebody Set Them Free" in !523rd.C ategory:1988? songsCategory:1991 songsCategory:Canadian songs

Evilution Magazine
Evilution Magazine is a magazine dedicated to extreme music. We cover black metal, thrash, death, grindcore, doom, stoner, gothic, noisecore, ambient, industrial and folk noir, and feature underground acts as well as established bands. We focus solely on the quality of the music, and publish in-depth interviews with bands we like and find interesting – not what is trendy. We will focus on the bands as a whole, choose a different line of approach in the interviews and not just ask about the latest album, etc. Evilution Magazine will most likely feature bands that are considered ‘politically incorrect’ by the majority. Simply put - we do not care! Evilution Magazine is not a political magazine, which is exactly the reason why we will not limit our choice of bands to satisfy the public view. If we find quality in a band we will feature them, regardless of their political views. The views expressed in the interviews are not necessarily those of Evilution Magazine. Evilution Magazine is a pro-printed b/w magazine written in English and each issue will be published in 666 hand-numbered copies. We will furthermore post interviews which will be exclusive to the website and not be published in the magazine.

Church of Gnostic Luminism
Integration of higher consciousness with the normal waking self is the true goal of all valid religious practice, whatever the symbols used to embody the idea. Its attainment triggers a personal transformation or “rebirth,” an Initiation; it is the only true “salvation.” If a sufficient number of individuals develop this integration, the infusion of new creative energy into human society will trigger a worldwide revolutionary transformation, an evolutionary leap into the future. This will constitute the onset of puberty for Homo sapiens. It is to this personal and social transformation — Revelation and Revolution — that our new Church will be dedicated.

Independent Mercia
Although almost a millennium has passed since Mercia existed as an autonomous entity, recognition of the historic region has remained remarkably strong. Mercia gradually became better known as the Midlands, but remains a rich farming area and therefore still constitutes a highly sustainable region. Mercia also forms a viable region culturally and Midlanders generally see themselves as belonging neither to the north of England nor the south. Despite its natural unity, Mercia was unlawfully dismantled by foreign conquerors and The Constitution Of Mercia consequently reaffirms its legal independence.
