Ask Lemmy

Grandson.

Check out their newish single BRAINROT to start. That album Inertia is packed with great music.

Yeah, watch the world fall off its axis Watch the bombs go off, paid for by your taxes Watch the Met Ball, watch the brainrot Watch the Go-Pro footage of the headshot

Too relevant.

Also check out Blood // Water.

Great shit that really speaks.

What you gon' do when there's blood in the water? The price of your greed is your son and your daughter What you gon' do when there's blood in the water?

Rage against the machine, all of them, can't miss

Nobody said System? Maybe I missed it. Toxicity the album. Individual tracks: Prison Song, Deer Dance, BYOB.

System of a Down is GOAT

Nine Inch Nails - Year Zero. Christofascism and the apocalypse. Still relevant almost 20 years later.

Godspeed You! Black Emperor — F#A#∞

Rage against the machine, Dropkick Murphys, NOFX

Perhaps you will recall Knights of Cydonia from back then.

Rage Against The Machine

Bluegrass and independent country artists are getting really good with their messaging lately.

The first Rage Against The Machine album feels more relevant today then when it was released. Like this is the first time I've really, really felt like RATMs intended audience and not a 3rd person.

Check out the !music@slrpnk.net community, it's usually pretty political, and has some diverse genres.

Not a whole album but I had found this little modern folk song specifically about the current state of the US a while back:

https://open.spotify.com/track/5ff9fGBykcLIctsvauVTod

Oh say can you see what I see The future ain’t what it used to be And I’m not proud of anything That I have seen tonight

So tell me ‘bout that flag you wave And what your bumper stickers say And how you parse apart your faith Who's seated on the right?

So dress up in your suit and tie And say your thank yous real polite And raise your arm out to the sky Your fuhrer is your friend

And when that grifter steps in shit They lick his boots from heel to tip Or feel the wrath of all of it Praise Jesus Christ amen

Cause now we’re great again

Dissolve the law and federal courts Defund the peer reviewed reports Retract the hand that feeds the poor The hungry ones can’t speak

So raise a glass to business whores The autocrats and saboteurs And text the world about your wars Let flow your whiskey leaks

Berate the south, invade the north And conquer all impoverished shores Identify and then extort All those who lack defense

Forget the Paine of Common Sense We reign with our incompetence And designate all immigrants As sick and evil men

Cuz now… we’re great again

Then Francis Key tries to explain That freedom’s not a first class train Your red hat cannot be exchanged As credit toward your rent

The land of all the free’s a lie So where do all the brave reside The bombs are bursting through the sky That’s where your money went

A modern Betsy Ross has made A flag that fascists celebrate Our motto now commemorates The sword above the pen

No we are not inspired hosts Your huddled and your tired folks Are propaganda for our shows And we are not your friend

But now… we’re great again

Now weakness is admitting wrong So do your part and play along The showroom on the White House lawn Would make your grandad proud

So tell me who needs enemies When you've got Fox and friends like these Who spend the daytime on their knees In service to the crown

We bow down to the motorcades With banners and our boat parades The emperor we celebrate’s Not wearing anything

That starry spangled banner waves Goodbye to golden yesterdays The ramparts now have all been raised To clearly represent

That now... somehow... we are great again

Panopticon's album Kentucky. Still hoping to see the level of solidarity and mutual aid those Appalachian coal miners embodied.

Obsolete by Fear Factory

It's a concept album that involves fighting against a totalitarian police state that subjugates humans to the machines they created.

It also has an awesome "Cars" cover for whenever you're feeling good.

Atari Teenage Riot has been my go to. Digital Punk anarchist.

If and when I want to feel political listening to music, it's mostly RATM or some down to earth 90's black rap, such as Wu-Tang Clan (I'm white though). Occasionally I drink a few and sing Bella Ciao until my voice gives out.

Otherwise, nowadays, I'm mostly depressed (clinically) and I often just flee into some darksynth like Perturbator.

Muse

If you can get hold of it, there’s a live set from a Big Day Out in Sydney getting around if you can find it.

I saw the Brisbane set. That was two days before the Sydney one, which incidentally was this date (26th), 2004 IIRC. It was one of the best live sets I’ve ever seen.

Amazing band. Live and on record.
