In a bonus to this week’s Friday Mixtape, we’re bringing you the absolutely fresh new track from electro-pop outfit Yacht. But this isn’t just any ol’ new release.
It seems Yacht is just as pissed off as are millions of Americans about the revelations regarding NSA spying into the communications of everyday citizens. So much so they’ve recorded a song mocking the institution and voicing their concerns. On top of that, the track is available for download by making a donation. All money received will be given to the Electronic Frontier Foundation, an organization that fights for privacy.
Yacht has more information listed online as well as the future offering of a limited edition “Party at the NSA” t-shirt.
Stream the track below and see what you think. Don’t close the browser when it’s over though; the stream of other Yacht songs will continue and there’s some good stuff in there.

President Obama says his number one priority is to protect the American people from The Terrorists. I wish his number one priority would be what his oath of office says it should be: Uphold the Constitution. That would include our Fourth and Fifth Amendment rights.
And if this NSA surveillance is no necessary for preventing terrorist attacks, then how come we had the Boston Marathon bombing? If you’re listening to all our communications, how come you can’t prevent two idiots from blowing up bombs in public? We should demand that they prevent ALL terrorist attacks since they have access to ALL communications. And if they don’t, they should be FIRED and re-assigned to the IRS in Nebraska.
