The verdict is in. The darbar has decided. Banks are dens of iniquity and bankers are just a bunch of greedy, money hungry so-and-sos. Whether they are goldsmiths in the Panchatantra, money lenders crowding a temple, loan sharks demanding their pounds of flesh or merchant bankers preying from Wall Street, handling public money seems to attract the amoral and avaricious.
In this the Song Bar patrons and our musician friends are of like mind. Sell a dream, promise the earth and take the money – as Richard Thompson describes it in his Money Shuffle (with s sarcastic acknowledgement in this live version). Just so we get the point, 10cc explain in their Wall Street Shuffle: “To do the Wall Street Shuffle/ Let your money hustle/ Bet you'd sell your mother/ You can buy another. Kinda extreme but you get the drift.”
No wonder there are a number of protest songs, from Leon Rosselson to Mike Rimbaud (my favourite discovery of the week), castigating the global financial crash and the shameful cover-ups that followed.
In his Where Are The Barricades? the former says: “They ought to be shooting bankers/They're giving them money instead,” (the shooting bankers is a common thread in this week's playlists). The latter's Saving Up To Go Bankrupt is emblematic of the general ignorance of the shenanigans. Tackhead underline this very lack in their cover of O'Jays’ For The Love of Money. “Funky and educational,” as the nominator says.
The bleak interpretation of the topic continues in Strong As Samson (Procol Harum) – “Bankers and brokers ruling the world, Storing the silver and hoarding the gold.” And what do they tell prospective borrowers like Simply Red? Money's Too Tight (To Mention) is what they say showing empty hands.
Tim Bluhm reminds us of a previous occasion when banks went bust and the tragedy of Dust Bowl events in his Raining Gravel. No wonder people like Fredricks & the Clamstones proudly claim I Love Robbin Banks!
The Screaming Blue Messiahs end the A list with a rousing call to Smash The Market
Place. Money men be warned.
