Lend Your Voices Only To Sounds Of Freedom

Ah, the strange things that make one laugh.
The song Bella Ciao came up on my randomplay, and I thought I'd look up the lyrics on Wikipedia. From there it mentioned that the song had been sung with alternate lyrics by Chumbawamba and I started reading about them. They sound like a band that temeres would like.
Then I read one paragraph that made me laugh out loud:

General Motors paid Chumbawamba $100,000 to use the song "Pass It Along" from the WYSIWYG album, for a Pontiac Vibe television advertisement in 2002. Chumbawamba gave the money to the anti-corporate activist groups Indymedia and CorpWatch who used the money to launch an information and environmental campaign against GM.

(Interestingly enough, the next song up on the randomplay was Jewel's "Life Uncommon", from which I take the title of this post)

On a completely different note, my lovely new big vertical freezer was delivered yesterday, and my little broken one was taken away. Now I have LOTS of freezing room. I plan to buy fruit and chop it up and either freeze it or make ice cream on the weekend. Mmmmm, apricot sorbet.
