I was perusing one of my usual BBS’s and came across a few links to a new Eminem video which is spreading pretty quickly. And of course, it’s an anti-Bush video. I don’t always agree with Eminems’ point of view, but in general I have to admit I like his music.
Anyhow, here are the links to the video:
QuickTime
Windows Media Player
Real Player
BitTorrent (in QuickTime)
A few more press notes related to the video:
(this from MTV News)
“Mosh” portrays Eminem as a powerful rebellious figure who just by using his voice and music has the ability to mobilize people who are fed up with the president. With his following uniformly dressed in dark hoodies, the group looks to be storming toward the White House but actually end up signing up to vote. At the same time in the song, Em talks about the people assembling to disarm what he calls the real weapon of mass destruction: George W. Bush.
A pro-vote message is tagged on at the end of the clip, directed by Ian Inaba of the Guerrilla News Network, which is hosting the video at GNN.tv. Eminem’s Encore is due November 16.
Also, here is another blurb:

Moby Praises Eminem(Soundbuzz, Friday October 29)
Dance superstar Moby has extended a hand of friendship to long-time foe Eminem – by praising the rapper’s new video Mosh. The pair have been bickering since 2001 when Moby called Eminem’s music misogynist and homophobic. The rapper later mocked Moby in his song ‘Without Me’, and the pair had a row at the 2002 MTV Video Music Awards. But Moby appears ready to unite with Eminem – over their mutual hatred of US President George W Bush. Moby has included a link to the Mosh promo – which criticises the Bush-led war in Iraq – on his website, and writes in his online journal, “You know that Eminem and I have had our differences in the past. But this video is the best thing that I’ve seen all year. It’s an amazing song and an even more amazing video. Please go watch.”
These are definitely interesting times…
