Imagine looking at the period after WWII and especially after the Cold War as an era of American weakness.
Unless, I suppose, if becoming the strongest, wealthiest country in history sounds bad to you because some brown people were a part oft, and you'd rather be weaker if it means being whiter.

Stephen Miller: This whole period that happened after World War II where the West began apologizing and groveling and begging—
Host: I don't even know what you're talking about right now. I asked you if there would be an election in Venezuela.

Béla Tarr was a genius. Satantango is one of the most astounding films ever made. The Turin Horse as well, the opening scene alone is better than 90% of other films.
RIP to a master.

Stephen Miller scares me more than Trump ever has. Miller actually believes the bonkers stuff he says.

25. John Lennon - Imagine
I think Lennon‘s genius comes to the fore here. He doesn’t preach, he merely invites us to consider. Delivered in the wrong way (like, say, a bunch of celebrities during covid), it curdles into sanctimony. Still topical, unfortunately.

At which point I’ll probably need to apologise to my punk veteran dad again, but I can’t help it, the melody hook is bloody amazing!

If you think of what all this chaos means for EU/UK industry: for derisking means make sure you have alternatives to what comes from the US and China. Because if the US annexes Greenland all economic bets should be off.

Massive Attack – Blue Lines
People later called it trip hop, but it doesn’t sound like a genre trying to announce itself. Instead, it feels like it exists outside chronology and (in spite of being very Bristol) place. A beautiful, genuinely timeless album that hasn’t aged a day.

Suede - Suede
Of course! The quintessential early 90s debut, an album that mixed glamour with cold realism. Over thirty years on and it still sounds incredible, which is proof that Anderson‘s swagger was more than justified. (Desaturated the cover to bypass a homophobic algorithm.)

Oasis - Definitely Maybe
Probably has as many detractors as fans, and probably won’t make my top 5 (my 15-year old self would disagree but here we are), but it‘s still one of the biggest albums of the decade and therefore deserves a mention.

Another album that basically became the soundtrack to my new life in England. By the way, did I ever mention how Luke Haines is a lyrical genius on a level with Oscar Wilde… hey, where are you going? Come back!

Sugar - Copper Blue
Doesn’t feel like a debut album, does it. But then Bob Mould was already a seasoned veteran who had reinvented hardcore in the 80s and was about to help define alt-rock in the 90s.

Pearl Jam – Ten
Felt really significant to me as a moody 13-year-old kid, probably because it didn’t shy away from difficult social and personal topics. But significant it was. Released at a moment when mainstream rock stopped pretending everything was fine.
