Excited to see that this is on the way. The two preview tracks have had a lot of play.

I don’t say this lightly: if there were any justice in this world, the people responsible for this devastation would be in jail

That was fun! the (mini) Mekons and Jon Langfords Men of Gwent playing on a ship motored on the Thames! Susie from The Mekons joined Men of Gwent for one number and they returned the favour by joking The Mekons for a few too! Good fun (even if everyone bumped their heads on low beams!).

Newmarket MP Matt Hancock gave a £37bn Covid testing contract to Jockey Club director Dido Harding, who subcontracted it to Grand National sponsor Randox, employer of Tory MP Owen Paterson, whose late wife chaired Aintree racecourse. That's how the Tories handled the pandemic.

Fugazi played "Reclamation" early in a set performed in front of the Supreme Court in protest of its rightward shift in 1992 (Clarence Thomas, state challenges to abortion laws). Themes of autonomy (bodily and otherwise) abound in this tune.
