The Smiths’ ‘Meat Is Murder’ Turns 40 | Album Anniversary
With ‘Meat Is Murder,’ the Smiths decided to infuse their sophomore album with more blatant politics than nuanced portrayals of everyday post-war British life.

I wrote about ‘Meat Is Murder,’ the album that converted me (and so many others) to vegetarianism.
Meat Is Murder’s genius was that it drew parallels between everyday horrors and political ones, and made politics accessible and easy to understand—particularly a politics of compassion.

Even though you're not for real,
Your touch is driving me...

De La Soul Embrace Love, Loss and Light on Inspired ‘Cabin In The Sky’ | Album Review
The presence of De La Soul’s late co-founder Dave (a.k.a. Trugoy The Dove) is a specter throughout the entirety of ‘Cabin In The Sky,’ from the album’s intro to its final track.

Growing up in the '80s and '90s, AIDS was a guaranteed death sentence. Now, with lifesaving therapy, we've made great strides towards eventually finding a cure. But now, for the first time since 1988, the U.S. is not commemorating World AIDS Day.
