Listening to late 80s “alternative/college” rock:
XTC “Oranges and Lemons”
World Party
Tears for Fears “Seeds of Love”
Primal Scream “Screamadelica”
Yep, clearly no Beatles influences there.

I didn’t know until now that in the original Rosie the Riveter painting, she is crushing a copy of Mein Kampf under her foot. Happy feast of the Blessed Virgin Mary, remembering all the women who crush the serpents of Satan under their heel.

Iowa was becoming this when I left; it is JUST this now. I'd like to say something this Ginni-Thomas-eyed and condescending would end her gross septic fascist career, that "sensible middle-ground Iowans" would actually apprehend this as a fuckery-too-far, but nah, this is just Iowa.

Even though I’m on the Ann Arbor Mastodon server, I’m not actually in Ann Arbor or Ypsi often enough to catch David Zinn’s #streetart in person. So it was a treat to find this at St Joe’s Hospital.

30 years later and I still can’t hear this without the context of other audio clips like “A two pound burrito? I want one”, “Slab” and the opening bars of Beck’s “Loser”.

Do not buy into our culture’s terror of death, or the capitalist obsession with the new.
