Rage Against The Machine - Sleep Now In The Fire
I try to cancel YouTube's autoplaying to not get sucked in, but the other day the algorithm threw up one of the best music videos ever, and I could not help but let it play. There might have been a time when I thought I was over my RATM phase, but these days I capitulate: they're jsut as good, if not better, as I thought when I was in my teenage years. Why do they hold up? Because they were right, they were righteous, and they had the best riffs.
Bonnie 'Prince Billy & Matt Sweeney - Make Worry For Me
A while ago I ventured that OD'd in Denver was the best of Will Oldham's collaborative singles from last year, but I don't know. This might have the edge after all. Meaner, grittier and with a venomous guitar solo to match.
These New Puritans - Where The Trees Are On Fire
Don't get used to dystopia.
Memnon Sa - Golden Ram of the Sun
I heard a hedgefund manager on the radio, saying everything was fine and that he was just doing his part to make the system work optimally. I heard billionaires saying more capitalism will solve the climate crisis. I heard centrist columnists equate right wing extremists and socialists...
Here's an incantation to exorcise the demons of neoliberal hegemony.
Phoebe Bridgers - I Know The End
A song that claims to know a few things about ends, and goes on to prove it by providing a rather spectacular ending of its own. A musical impression of "do not go gentle into that good night"...
