And something a little different in the choral genre - metal. Choir Noir performs “Silvera” by the French band Gojira. If you can get past the trippy “coven” video, maybe you'll agree that the voices and arrangement are actually pretty good www.youtube.com/watch?v=CwRI...

great interview with some really important points
So my simple answer is that federal public health has now been compromised-it has been taken over by ideology, it's been weaponized. If you look at the CDC website, the "About" webpage is literally propaganda around extremely partisan views. My advice to the world is that we should practice detachment from the organizations and focus or the mission. And the mission is the health of the public. And so I think that focusing a lot of energy in trying to repair CDC is actually the wrong direction, because that damage has been done. And for me, the bottom line isn't just that there's no political will to fix it, it's the opposite-there's a strong political will to break it. There's nothing that we're going to be able to do at this moment to resist the breaking of CDC. But what we can do is turn to local jurisdictions, states, and other professional organizations outside the federal government. They're going to have to be the renaissance that will follow after the dark ages. I don't know what that renaissance will look like, but I know it's not going to come from the feds down. It's going to come from the states, the jurisdictions, the organizations, and the people on the ground. Because there will be something that can be rebuilt or built up, but it's not going to be out of the minds of the people who are literally trying to destroy public health.
