Cog – Are you interested (album: Sharing Space 2008)

This next song is by the Aussie Bondi Band Cog. It’s another great discovery by my Hubby. They are quite awesome. They’re really into conspiracy theories and this song talks about the 9/11 conspiracy theory. The music is great and it has wonderful lyrics. If you want to see a great conspiracy theory movie then I would recommend watching “Zeitgeist”. It’s a movie that talks about the facts that led to the 9/11 terror attack and everything that happened after the attack.  It’s quite scary and very convincing; it took me a few days to shake it off my head!  It also discusses the conspiracies behind religion which is quite interesting.

I remember exactly where I was in 9/11. I remember watching it on the news, seeing the two twin towers crashing to the ground. It was a shocking disaster. I was lucky enough to have seen the two towers back in 1998 when I was travelling in America. I was very impressed by it. I’ve spent a day with my friends in Battery Park; I was skateboarding in the park (another disaster!) and I watched the buildings from the park. It was an amazing day which I’ll never forget. Now back to the song, I hope you enjoy it ;)

What’s this song about?
Here is an article from their website:
COG brought the revolution as much they did the riffs. With its signature guitar line and immediate hook, Are You Interested? rams home the bitter truth that personal privacy is now an extinct ideal. That fear is the tool employed by both government and corporate business to control and exploit populations. That paranoia is justified. That what was once the realm of conspiracy theory is now reality.
“We’re just saying it the way we see it and after much research into 9/11 and many occult and political subjects we knew this type of information just needed to get out ,” states Lucius. “Sometimes you have to be literal and get to the guts of it, rather than be all airy-fairy and obtuse.”
