12/18 - As We Blow Through The Square

The theme of this week is not compromises. 


Childish Gambino - This Is America

Not that anyone internet-savvy enough to check this blog isn't already aware of this little bit of galvanising zeitgeist, but I just wanted to underline that even without it's astounding video, it's a really, really great bit of music. That bass, and the zig-zagging stop-and-start, soft-and-hard structure of it all...


Sudan Archives - Nont For Sale

This my life, don't block the sun
This is my seat, can't you tell
This my time, don't waste it up
This is my land, not for sale




The Paradise Bangkok Molam International Band - Kwang Noi Chaolay

Threw caution to the wind. Got caution slapped across my face. Threw it the other way. It blew off. A bounce came in my step. Jangly, wobbling, but a bounce nevertheless. With it, an insistence, pumping through every limb. Some strange, exotic feeling of nowness, of farawayness, of beckoning new rhythms of life.


Jlin - Hatshepsut

The bees, the mice, the woodlice, the badgers, the ants, the pigeons, the parakeets, the service robots, the arachnids, the knotweed, the hermits, the rats, the feral cats, the prisoners, the foxes, the hybrids, the mould-creatures, the hackers; they all came marching out of the wreckage of the city. This was their parade music.


BNNT - God Is Nothing More Than An Acoustic Hallucination

"Hello, I've found a drumbeat that it's impossible to get sick of."
"Great, just keep playing it then. For a long time."
