Terry Riley's "In C" is a creative force in contemporary music history, masquerading as a song. Vox made a good podcast episode about it.

Composing chaos by Unexplainable
Terry Riley's "In C" is one of the most influential pieces of music of the last century...but you'll never hear it the same way twice.

This little PBS NewsHour segment on black musicians in Punk was good. The Pure Hell album is awesome. The Death record is good but had more elements of 70s rock and garage rock to my ear. youtu.be/6WXhhqs9JJE?...

Kim Gordon: “It occurred to me to use words taken from a site that had all the words that Trump has essentially banned, meaning any grant or piece of a project or proposal for research that includes any of those words would be immediately disregarded.”

New Tortoise track is nice. Laid-back, repetitive, and about as jazzy as possible without a sax or horn leaking in there. Give it a spin:
