''Today's Empires, Tomorrow's Ashes'' is the third album by Canadian punk rock band Propagandhi, released February 6, 2001. It was released on the band's own G7 Welcoming Committee Records label in Canada and Fat Wreck Chords elsewhere. It is the first Propagandhi release on their own label. One of the album's tracks, "Back to the Motor League", indirectly refers to two songs by the Dead Kennedys, "Triumph of the Swill" and "Chickenshit Conformist", as well the year of their release on the 1986 album ''Bedtime for Democracy''. The "Back to the Motor League" lyrics state: "fifteen years later it still reeks of swill and chickenshit conformists". Both the Dead Kennedys songs and the Propagandhi track concern the co-opting of punk ideology by the corporate record industry. "Purina Hall of Fame" is a reference to the Nestlé owned pet food company, The Ralston Purina Company. The title is a cynical take on the Purina Animal Hall of Fame, a site that celebrates animals who have saved human lives.〔(The Purina Hall of Fame )〕 The lyrics of "Purina Hall of Fame" obliquely outline Propagandhi's concerns about animal cruelty. ==Track listing== # "Mate Ka Moris Ukun Rasik An" – 3:03 # "Fuck the Border" – 1:31 # "Today's Empires, Tomorrow's Ashes" – 2:37 # "Back to the Motor League" – 2:40 # "Natural Disasters" – 2:04 # "With Friends Like These Who the Fuck Needs COINTELPRO?" – 3:23 # "Aldright Monument, Baghdad" – 2:27 # "Ordinary People Do Fucked-Up Things when Fucked-Up Things Become Ordinary" – 2:17 # "Ladies' Nite in Loserville" – 1:45 # "Ego Fum Papa (I Am the Pope)" – 1:38 # "New Homes for Idle Hands" – 1:44 # "Bullshit Politicians" – 1:33 # "March of the Crabs" – 1:56 # "Purina Hall of Fame" – 4:43 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Today's Empires, Tomorrow's Ashes」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
