AK Press is sprucing up their Working Classics series, which is great! When I realised I was interested in anarchism, I ordered the original four and got a deep dive. Recently, I read Lorenzo Kom'boa Ervin's Anarchism and the Black Revolution, and while I know it's currently in print with Pluto, it would make such a good addition to the Working Classics series!! It's far more recent than their other options, written in a very grounded and accessible way (as opposed to, say, Anarcho-Syndicalism), and it's by and about Black struggle, which is largely absent from the series. If anyone was getting interested in anarchism, I'd recommend it to them in a heartbeat. Before Kropotkin, Goldman, and Bookchin and maybe even Graeber (depending on the person).

Danger Mouse & Black Thought: Cheat Codes
#music #records #DangerMouse #BlackThought

I just realized that two of my favourite albums are from 2022.
Listening to them helped me deal with anger and sadness I felt at times last year.
So recently I figured it is only right to get them on #vinyl as well.

Last Night in the Bittersweet by #PaoloNutini
and
Cheat Codes by #BlackThought and #DangerMouse

If you haven't listened to them yet, I recommend doing so.

Well, I spoke too soon. Another one I can't believe I missed last year. And it is 🔥

I love The Roots and Black Thought is one of the greatest rappers to ever walk Earth, so this record he did with El Michels Affair shoulda been a no-brainer. It came out just 10 days after my birthday last year and I somehow heard NOTHING about it until a couple days ago. #NowPlaying
