I've been here at Daily Kos a long time. Mostly as a lurker reading every day but I've had my odd bursts of activity too, usually about tragic things - Hurricane Katrina, Iraq, Afghanistan, and the seemingly endless ways humans are trying to commit mass suicide by destroying the one planet they have to live on.
I was one of those people who said - "F**k it. If they re-elect Bush I'm leaving!" As fate would have it about two years into Shrub's second term a job appeared in London at the same time as my long term relationship was sinking beneath the waves. So I took the opportunity to make good on my pledge and ended up across the pond. Since then Daily Kos has been one of my biggest connections to "back home" and so I thought it would be fun to share some fun stuff with the community as well as doom and gloom. I didn't know anyone in London when I got here but I had been a musician hobbyist all my life so I figured the best thing to do to fill my time was to join a band. And being a politically minded sort of chap I was drawn to two Irish brothers who, with tongues firmly in their cheeks, called themselves "The Conservatives".
Well we just published our first EP and here's a link to the video for the single, "Baby":
The Conservatives - "Baby"
I hope you guys have as much fun watching this as we had making it. And I'm sorry for taking space with something not totally political but you gotta support the arts.
All the Best ~ Doolittle
