New Entry: Snapped Ankles Release "NSA Man" (A violation of The Fugs CIA Man)

East London art wave/post punk/krautrock band Snapped Ankles have released "NSA Man", their take on The Fugs 1965's counterculture anthem "CIA Man", updated for the Edward Snowden generation.

About the song, the band said: "Having unearthed The Fugs' 'CIA Man' some years before, we were shocked to discover a newer, more sinister agency had taken over from the diatribe's protagonist, so we updated Tuli Kupferberg's list of ills... 

"Of course every time the song is now mentioned online, a blip of data triggers a filter that enters a file that rings a bell in a bunker deep under a mountain in Pennsylvania. So now the forest is full of agents looking for us, and we are taping up our microphones and cameras and walking backwards through our own footprints to shake them off..."
