#NewMusicFriday – 28/02/2025

Sometimes, even music seems futile. I recorded this show before Trump’s and Vance’s absolutely disgusting, vile, and disrespectful treatment of President Zelenskyy (more of that separately). However, when I begin to think music can’t change things, I have to remind myself that all music is, in essence political. And there is a lot of explicit politics in these tracks:

Launch Control – Hedge Fundamentalism
Heartworms – Just To Ask A Dance
The Last Internationale – Master
Smerz – A Thousand Lies
Richard Pierce & Marina Florance feat Bass & Taylor – without goodbyes
Shirley Holmes – Wanna fck your reflection
Ready Weather – Happy To See You
Ben Male – God Is Dead
Ghostpoet – Off Peak Dreams (2015)
Mathias Trengereid – Run Away
Twat Union – Singer Of The Band
Baby Said – Take Everything
Kodachrome – Square One
Opal Mag – Love To See You Shine
Annie Dressner feat Kathryn Williams – For The Thrill Of It

The biggest mistake I made, which I’m still kicking myself for, is to have set the timer for the 13:00 airing of the show, so it cut off before the end of the show. Schoolboy error. But at least least I’m not a vile repugnant orange man who is a disgrace to America and the world.
