What a great fucking track that really gets to the heart of the issue, thanks. I haven't listened to it in a long time, gonna spin up my Gil Scott-Heron flacs tonight

If you want another song critiquing the corruption of science, check out DLZ by TV On The Radio. I've already linked it somewhere in this thread.

The whole album is a highlight, at a time in the mid to late 2000s when music labels were pushing a certain sound and aesthetic on bands (trying to turn everyone into some MCR pop punk scene clone, no hate to MCR I still enjoy their music, just hate towards the big labels), and TV On The Radio decide to do something completely different and drop one of the best albums of the decade.

It seems like there's some kind of lib backlash against TV on the Radio, I don't get it because when I see criticisms I just close the tab

My dudes were cooking the whole-ass time and no notes

Well you see the band criticized US policy on Israel and bailing out the banks in their songs, called out assimilation, and talked about making an album about killing Nazis, and that's just too far for the libs.

But yeah they were cooking up something good, but they were just ahead of the times so they never got the level of fame they should have.

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
