ANOHNI and the Johnsons, “My Back Was a Bridge for You to Cross”
A complex piece of work, but one executed with precision and grace, and which offers a sliver of light in a world that doesn’t necessarily deserve it.
Desaparecidos - Live At Shea Stadium
Recorded on June 23, 2015—two days after the album came out and almost 18 months before Hillary Clinton and the Democrats’ self-serving neoliberalism caused them to lose an “unlosable” election against a dumb, ignorant, and barely literate failed businessman—it could be seen as foreshadowing.
Proper., “The Great American Novel”
"It’s always those who are best represented who complain loudest about the representation of others."

The Hives, “The Death of Randy Fitzsimmons”
Not many bands could get away with self-mythologizing as much as The Hives do. But then again, not many bands are The Hives. Bursting onto the garage rock scene on a tidal wave of endearing hubris (the compilation released to introduce them to the rest of Europe was titled Your New Favourite Band) the Swedish group claimed they’d been brought together, and that their songs had all been written by, one Randy Fitzsimmons.
It was all tongue-in-cheek playfulness, but it’s also a façade they’ve kept
