Video: 19 Miles from Baghdad

From Bring 'Da Noise:
I was listening to Democracy Now recently and heard one of the most inspiring songs I've ever heard. Amy Goodman said that it was sent in by other viewers and that it was by Lizzie West & The White Buffalo, so I visited their website at www.lizziewestlife.com, and contacted the band via e-mail. I expressed to them that I wanted to create a video for it, and they were nice enough to send me the whole song! Check out the video at www.bringdanoise.com.

Baba Buffalo, from the band, informed me that they wrote the song when they were with Warner Bros. and the record label refused it because, according to them, "It didn't belong in American culture." You be the judge. Its a great song and I know everyone who watches the video will instantly become a Lizzie West & The White Buffalo fan. Have a Great New Year! --Thomas
