Shut Up, Dude: This Week’s Best And Worst Comments
Well, it is a dark day. President Trump’s speech did nothing to quell fears about the impending dystopian hellscape. If you don’t care about music blog content today … understood. However, as Julien Baker points out, it helps to remember “the importance of the liberty we defend in the preservation of art as a powerful tool to challenge injustice.” To that effect, this week we shared new protest songs from Gorillaz, Arcade Fire, Angel Olsen, United Nations, Joey Bada$$, OK Go, Fiona Apple, CoCoRosie & ANOHNI, and others. See you at the March.

The best protest is the same as it’s always been. Namely: dance, laugh, and love in the face of the evil. Japandroids understand this. Like few others. |
