Walking Through Town Is Quite Scary And Not Very Sensible Either

Depeche Mode “Clean (Colder Version)” – I’m sure that most of you will understand that I’m barely in the state of mind to do this today. I’ve been seething with rage since around 11 PM. Still, if you want to get a feel for where I’m at right now, this song just about nails it. The jackboot beat, the feeling of dread and impotence. The subdued panic, the gut sickness. The static and noise of the media scraping at the walls of my skull, keeping me from concentrating on anything else. (Click here to buy it from Amazon. Click here to see Colder perform live in NYC tonight.)

Kaiser Chiefs “I Predict A Riot” – Well, I do. The fix is in, and we’re all being backed into a corner. Either we go down fighting, or we retreat into smaller and smaller cultural bubbles to hide from reality and keep ourselves from engaging with the people who keep George W. Bush in power. I’m ashamed to say it, but I probably won’t ever stop doing the latter, though I know this situation will never change unless we kill the destructive memes that are propping up this administration. (Click here to buy it from Rough Trade.)
