No being lighthearted about Sudan, and it’s nice to have a moment to give it some attention. For their contribution to the international version of the Instant Karma – Save Darfur project, Denmark’s Raveonettes cover “One Day (At A Time),” from Lennon’s relatively introspective ’73 release Mind Games. So, unlike Green Day’s clip, there’s no Sudanese testimonials — just some pensive folks in a diner, a singing waitress, and a trippy tank gun. But the black-and-white theme is consistent with Green Day’s take, and fitting of the project’s moralistic cause. A nice pause for thought.
The US version of Instant Karma is out 6/12. Back to making fun of Marilyn Manson momentarily.

Thanks for posting some Raveonettes news. They are really fantastic.
Also, thank you for raising awareness about Sudan!
We should probably raise awareness for Darfur instead.
Rob, look at a map you knob.
Thanks for posting…Mind Games and the next Lennon release, Walls & Bridges, are two of my favourite albums.
Mmm .. not sure why they bothered covering this ?
