  3. As randomly chosen by survey* on Mastodon, our next spotlight is on number 691 on The List, submitted by platenworm.

    I hate the capitalist system
    And I’ll tell you the reason why
    It has caused me so much suffering
    And my dearest friends to die

    So begins the title track, and my discovery of my new hero (who just turned 97 in May!). Not only is the music great, particularly Dane’s clear bluesy voice that demands attention, but the lyrics are still so relevant today. With track titles like “Deportees (Plane Wreck at Los Gatos)”, “Ludlow Massacre”, “I Don’t Want Your Millions, Mister”, and “Working Class Woman”, it’s obvious this album isn’t full of romantic ballads or some such.

    Dane has been praised by the likes of Louis Armstrong and Bob Dylan, and, if you give this one a spin, it’s easy to see why.

    But while we march and mourn today
    There’s much more we must do
    We must teach ourselves to organize
    And see the struggle through
    Blood flowed upon the 4th of May
    And we’ll know it’s color well
    ‘Til we sink this murdering system
    In the darkest pits of hell

    – “The Kent State Massacre”

    *The survey choices that led to this spotlight were “Will you visit me please”, “If I open my door”, and “In cars?”, following the earlier survey that had “Here in my car”, “Where the image”, and “Breaks down”. The second phrase was the winning selection, so the survey result was translated as picking the second album in The List with one of the phrase’s words in the title, the matching word here being “I”.

  4. The Magic Clap
    by #TheCoup

    It's like a hotwire, baby, when we put it together
    When the sparks fly, we'll ignite the future forever
    This is the last kiss Martin ever gave to Coretta
    It's like a paparazzi picture when I flash my Beretta
    I got scars on my back, the truth on my tongue
    I had the money in my hand when that alarm got rung
    We wanna breathe fire and freedom from our lungs
    Tell Homeland Security we are the bomb

  8. Sumé – Sumut (1973, Greenland)

    Our next spotlight is on number 383 on The List, submitted by myself (buffyleigh).

    As with our last spotlight, I came across this one while specifically searching for cool albums to include in The List. A year later, it remains one of my favourite finds for both the project and, well, ever.

    Sumé was the first Greenlandic rock band in Greenland, making Sumut, their debut, to be the first rock album released in the Greenlandic language, i.e., their own language rather than the language of the Danish colonizers. Even without looking into what the lyrics mean, that language choice plus the intense artwork – a reproduction of a 19th century woodcutting by Aron of Kangeq that depicts an Inuit person standing over a Norseman they had just killed – clues the listener into the fact that this album was making a political statement.

    In fact the album – released just 6 years before a referendum that would gain Greenland home rule and therefore greater autonomy from Denmark (who had ruled the island since 1814) – would become a key part in Greenland’s fight for independence from Danish rule. The lyrics were revolutionary, presenting the political concerns of the Greenlandic people as well as simply using their own voice and not the skewed (i.e., racist) voice of white colonizers to depict the day-to-day lives of Inuit people. Check out some snippets below:[1]

    Track 1 – “Pivfît Nutât” (“New Times”)

    I wake up – I’ve been sleeping for a long time
    They tell me two and half days have gone by for two and half centuries
    I realise that they’re still here
    They are here to get rich and to oppress us
    Greenland, “The Lands of the People”
    You can’t keep sheltering your children from harm
    New times have begun
    The old days we have left behind

    Track 4 – “Tamorassâriat” (“The First Bite of the Seal”)

    My father is a great hunter
    He arrives with a big catch
    Those who want the first bite of the seal rush down to the beach
    To get a good treat
    The first bite of the seal

    Track 7 – “Erĸasûteĸarneĸ” (“Worry”)

    Always a colony
    Always oppressed
    Leadership missing
    Makes you blind
    Never turn your back and be silent

    Track 10 – “Ukiaĸ” (“Spring”)

    The Earth, because it’s always spinning
    The great day darkens
    Nature is transforming
    My love is putting on her warm coat

    The flower is already getting brown
    And I learn that’s the way it is
    Like my friend
    Without hiding, it becomes the soil

    That poor kayak, it loses its skin
    Deteriorated by time
    Naked, it becomes a skeleton
    Its time has come

    Track 11 – “Nalunaerasuartaut Toĸuvoĸ” (“The Telegraph is Dead”)

    The telegraph is dead
    Connection failed
    What is happening in the world?
    Is there peace out there?

    Apparently 20%(!) of Greenland’s entire population bought Sumut. And it’s not that surprising as, apart from the lyrics that inspired the Greenlandic people to take political action, the album sounds damn good. Sumé’s style, fusing psychedelic/prog rock with some traditional Inuit sounds (particularly from drum dances), would have a great impact on future Greenlandic rock, which remains a huge genre in the country.

    The band would release two more albums soon after Sumut (Inuit Nunaat in 1974 and a s/t in 1976), and then reunited in 1994 for one last album, Persersume. Twenty years later, following the first reissue of Sumut, Sumé – Mumisitsinerup Nipaa (“Sumé – The Sound of a Revolution“) was released, a 2014 Greenlandic documentary from director Inuk Silis Høegh that celebrates the band, the album, and their impact on Greenlandic history.

    Methinks, given *all of this*, it’s a good time to give this album a spin.

  14. Given the tumultuous current state of affairs politically, and all the developments in my personal life, I'm so distracted that I cannot articulate my state of mind. So once again I turn to music. This little playlist sums things up pretty well. Featuring: The Boomtown Rats, Gang of Four, Sad Lovers and Giants, Au Pairs, The Church, Joy Division. youtube.com/playlist?list=PLa- #music #alternativemusic #postpunk #politicalmusic

  15. After being waitlisted, I was offered an #ArtistResidency at #Macdowell this Spring! THE Macdowell! 😳😻 I'm a giddy kid inside with this news following a very competitive process.

    With this, I jumpstart the creation of a new 20min audio essay with live mixed quartet + multichannel fixed media that interrogates passports and the privilege of global mobility. This follows a Musicworks magazine article I published last Summer 2024. #composer #contemporaryclassical #electroacoustic #politicalmusic
