This Week with David Rovics

Talking shop with Russell and Steve

Russell and Steve are both brilliant musicians from here in Portland, Oregon, and they've started up a weekly podcast series interviewing other artists. Here's the MP3 of their interview with me (it's also on YouTube -- look up Russell Gores).

Notes From A Holocaust in Standard Tuning

I livestreamed a bit of a workshop, where I played the 20 pieces from the upcoming album, in the order in which I wrote them, with a bit of commentary.  I played all the songs in standard tuning on the guitar — the most popular instrument, in the most popular tuning — in order to show folks who may like to sing them how to do so easily.  Especially with the aid of the songbook for the album, which you can download at davidrovics.com/palestine, where you can also watch the video version of this tutorial.

”Land and Freedom” REMIX

Every struggle for national liberation that I've ever heard of, when the distractions are put aside, boil down to two intimately connected things: land and freedom. This is the last studio mix to go on the upcoming album. davidrovics.com/palestine

”Stop the Genocide” REMIX

A brilliant mix from the studio magician in Hawai'i here for this song I wrote in late October. The rest of the tracks on what will soon be an album can be found in a playlist at davidrovics.com/palestine.

”They’re Killing Off the Journalists of Gaza” REMIX

Audio from the upcoming album, merged with the original video. This is happening right now, every day. davidrovics.com/palestine

Life and Death in the Shadow of Genocide

As the bombs continue to rain down on Gaza and the world races ever closer to World War 3, in the rest of the world, life goes on, as does death.

New song: ”If A Song Could Raise An Army”

”Antisemite” REMIX

An improved rendition of the best song about weaponizing antisemitism in defense of genocide that I've written to date.

”Famine and Disease” REMIX

2.3 million people in Gaza are on the brink of famine, and according to the UN, 40% of them are already starving.  Here's a remix of "Famine and Disease," one of the tracks from the upcoming album.  You can find the rest of the songs in the Gaza Holocaust series at davidrovics.com/palestine.

New song: ”Antisemite”

Word on the street is the Zionist narrative is losing traction, so to help shore it up I have written a wee jingle for the ADL.
