I would like to apologize to all of you LtM readers right now, I’ve known about Denver hip-hop outfit Flobots’ “Handlebars” for a month now, but it didn’t occur to me to share it. It’s become kind of a big deal around here, being a consistent contender X96’s Top Ten Songs That Don’t Suck, as well has having a good run on Xposed. (You can say what you will about the state of the radio, but Corey O’Brien does great things for my ears).
So, one of the things about this song that I love is how it is political in nature, but subtly so. The song actually got me to thinkin’, and I felt like I ought to figure out the point of this boast fest. I hope I didn’t ruin it for anyone, and I won’t say more than that, but it’s a good song, okay?

It’s effing genius in it’s simplicity, inspirational qualities with it’s illustration of how one simple ambition that has been overcome (riding a bike without handlebars) can lead to reaching HUGE goals(Leading the world in a holocaust). It’s all about baby steps, and there’s nothing you cannot acheive. It’s hip-hoppy, but damned catchy, I find myself singing along whenever I hear it.
