Just checked wikipedia: the D-Plan also got awarded 50k, so this is probably the best case scenario, seeing as they could release the record on an indie and didn't have to worry about paying back Interscope!

I was a bit worried when I saw the Smoking Popes put out a single titled "Allegiance" (what with Josh being a born-again christian an' all), but thankfully it's an anti-Trump tune.

(Not crazy about the lyrics, there's probably a better way to express it, but the sentiment's right-on)

Since you've been away on holiday
We've stomached your archaic rule
And since you've been away on holiday
We've hosted some wars over you
So stay away on holiday, my friend
We don't need your services
Your excuses, your mysterious ways

To the one true God above
Here is my prayer
Not the first you've heard, but the first I wrote
Not the first, but the others were a long time ago
There are two people here, and I want you to kill them

Mind you, Miles III named his band the Police as a direct nod to his dad (also why his brother named IRS records that).

Back in the good old days, crystal balls would emanate smoke, bringing forth figures from other dimensions.

But they don't anymore, because of woke.

Most of what I've read so far this year has been non-fiction and largely related to underground music. I'd recommend all the following books for anyone interested in that subject:

I recently reread the Dark Knight Over Metropolis trade and it's interesting that just a few issues later Ordway has Supes put the statues of Jor and Lara back together and talk about the importance of honoring his adopted AND biological families.

It's kinda fascinating how Trump's awfulness inevitably lays bare the Democrats' own inhumanity. Oh, so you're saying you could've been resettling refugees in three months instead of making them wait upwards of a year all along but Democratic politicians have refused to do because they hate POC? Ok.

Upon closer inspection I found out it was an acoustic only best of record.

So I got this instead:

Sometimes I think about this guy. Wonder how he's doing.

I wanna be his friend. He seemed really chill.

Happy New Year's

This is a French 75 by the way, not just champagne.

Also apparently he was a big Agent Orange fan growing up, that's pretty cool!

Truly perfect albums are few and far between, I'd say even a lot of my favorite albums aren't perfect, but when I saw people were doing that whole "post an album that came out when you were 21" thing, this is the first one I thought of.

Not the first time and I doubt it'll be the last.

I really hope this isn't a Slowdive situation, where people only get into one band and don't dive any deeper into the genre.

But also, if you're getting into the Bad Brains, you should probably know about their history of homophobia:
