Great band, I just saw them last month. They brought a guy on stage in a banana costume, and made the crowd play twister in between songs.

Idk it just sounds like punk rock to me.

Institutionalized by Suicidal Tendencies sounds similar to my ear.

Well I can think of at least one case in the past few years where courtroom recordings turned the whole trial into a media fiasco and a witch hunt. I personally don't think it's healthy for justice.

love isolation

Maybe you would, but for most people it's been proven to cause lasting damage

That's not really because of the Apple vs Android ecosystem wars though. My understanding is that most of Europe uses third party apps because, at least until recently, pricing for phone and text plans was exorbitant, when considering that many Europeans are "roaming" and communicating with people in adjacent countries.

Having people treated differently to achieve equal outcomes is what we strive for. When it's shown that minorities are discriminated against in hiring, people suggest affirmative action to level the playing field. When somebody is asked to testify again dangerous people, they're put in witness protection to be afforded the same security as any average citizen.

When somebody carries a unique cultural status, such that they would surely be killed if left to their own devices, that person is given protection to ensure that they live, and aren't handed a death sentence without trial. That's not what Russia does. Really, one could argue that "not letting a political figure get assassinated" is the exact opposite of what Russia does.

Solitary confinement is inhumane and should be illegal.

Also we're kidding ourselves if we don't think he'll get put in the most safe, cushy prison imaginable (assuming he's charged)

I don't know if I can make a case for "best" because it's not from a well known artist, but I found This song about late stage capitalism a few months ago that's pretty on the nose, and it rips.

Happy to see Tiny Moving Parts getting mentioned. I actually just listened to Celebrate for the first time a week ago, and while I think it's great, Pleasant Living still edges it out. I just love Always Focused, I wish there were a lot more super-positive emo songs like that.

Am I the only who thinks they sound more like Rush than Zeppelin?? To me their singer sounds like a dead ringer for Geddy Lee

It's been almost a year since The Forever Story came out, but it was a classic in my mind from the first second I heard it. I haven't listened to as much hip hop these past few years but that album pulled me right back in.

I'm not the biggest fan of J Cole, but he's discovered and boosted some amazing artists.
