"But her emails" memes would be so tired and trite if there wasn't always some fresh new horror that it applies to.

Fisticuffs - Apocalypse Now [7", 1997, Motherbox]
Orthodoxy
Fintan O’Toole in the New Yorker:
…the Great Hunger was a very modern event, and one shaped by a mind-set that is now again in the ascendant. The poor are the authors of their own misery. The warning signs of impending environmental disaster can be ignored. Gross inequalities are natural, and God-given. The market must be obeyed at all costs. There is only one thing about the Irish famine that now seems truly anachronistic—millions of refugees were saved because other countries took them in. That, at least, would not happen now.

Bad Liquor Pond - Let The River Come 7" [2009]
Pretty great neo-psych from Charm City. "Electric Splash" is available on the "Blue Smoke Yellow Sky" album (not sure if this exact version), while "Let the River Come" is only available on this 7".

Dough Mane - Ever Aching [CS, 2015]
I have heard many people say that the first thing they do when they open Connections on the NYT Games app is to hit shuffle. This is beyond stupid. It's giving you a free hint!
The rational for shuffling is that when they place say, BRICK and MORTAR together, your mind wants to connected them right away, so you need to shuffle them to get out of that thinking.
You see where I'm going right? More times than not, BRICK and MORTAR will NOT be connected, so now you can figure out what other words each connects with. But no, you had to go shuffle, and now you may actually try to connect BRICK and MORTAR because you're stupid and don't know a free hint when you see one.
Anyways.
Dough Mane is a San Diego based experimental-noise-ambient artist. That's all I know!

The Peechees / The Drags - Radio Disappears [Split 7", 1996]
I'm not even trying to be hyperbolic, I think Elon Musk needs to be arrested. No one voted him anything, he is not a government employee, yet he has his hands in everything, directly or by proxy, fucking around with government functions. Locking out federal civil servants from government personnel files? For what purpose? Trying to control government payment systems? It's a coup! Truly, what the fuck is happening?
