The Coup’s “The Guillotine”
The Coup’s “The Guillotine” came back to mind after listening to the most recent episode of Millennials Are Killing Captialism featuring a great interview with Boots Riley. What a track! Guillotines are still necessary, don’t doubt it.
Also on:
A Perfect Circle’s Eat the Elephant
A Perfect Circle‘s Eat the Elephant is a wonderful album, start to finish. The two standout tracks for me are the the scathing “TalkTalk” and the winking, soaring “So Long, And Thanks For All The Fish”.
Ruby Ibarra’s “US”
Janelle Monáe’s “Make Me Feel”
Janelle Monáe’s “Make Me Feel” channels Prince in the best way.

“Here” is the first video from Ruby Ibarra’s excellent CIRCA91.
samuraiguitarist's cover of Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up"
This morning I was introduced to SamauriGuitarist’s delightful spaghetti western reimaginings of songs including “Billie Jean” and “The Final Countdown“. It was the Rick Astley cover that won me over.
All right, I’m tired of riddles.
Never been lower.
Don’t know anyone who sleeps at night.
Don’t know anyone who’s sober.
Our wasted youth, my wasted friends,
Is a circus of purchase of meaningless ends.But there’s no way I’m going under.
No way.
Strike up the drummer, play me a song.
I’m floating on.
Strange clouds are gathering.
No way I’m going under.
No way.
Strike up the drummer, play me a song.
I’m floating on.
Strange clouds are gathering.
Ian Penn's "It's Going to Rain" & Water from the Creek
Ian Penn‘s Water from the Creek album has been a warm, welcome companion for me throughout the past few months. Adding a full band behind Ian’s voice has brought out the richness of his folk music and showcases his songwriting beautifully.
“It’s Going To Rain” is a good introduction to his music, but taking in the album as a whole is so rewarding. Keep it near to put on the next time it rains.
