Celebrating alternative protest music tonight with a longish piece from Godspeed You! Black Emperor. I wanted to play a track either from “slow riot for new zero kanada” or “f# a# oo”, but unfortunately both of those would involve swear words, which I am not free to play at the time of day of my […]
