EXPERTS ON THE ANTHEMS OF FUTURE STATES
ELECTRO ROCK WEIGHTLESSNESS DEMONSTRATION
Every country must have an anthem, there is no other way, but it turns out that choosing the right song that can sway or march the nation is often much more difficult than electing a president; that is, unless he has elected himself, which of course eliminates the choice of an anthem. Not every new state, however, has composers capable of offering a suitable revival song about "defeatism, courage to rest, adoration of a supernal being, or proud ambivalence," which until recently proved to be a problem. But that's the end of it: the ever forward-thinking Brno group offers future states a handy songbook of national songs for mass singing. And six for the price of three. Well, don't buy it. Ivan Palacký, Petr Fučík and Tomáš Doležal at your service.
