Just getting to the new IDLES album and I'm digging the slightly less smoother edge to their sneer this time around.
On the eternal doom scroll front - my wife and I had one of the more absurd and terrifying discussions of our married life last night. Based on what's happening in the US, we felt it was our responsibility as parents to think about where we will take our children if things get extra weird after the election. I enjoy doomsday game theory as much as the next political science nerd, but my wife is a practical, low-drama citizen who is honestly concerned about the safety of her kids.
It is all at once sad, frightening, and utterly predictable that all it took was several exceptionally cynical people to exploit the inequality, rage, and ignorance in our populace to bring the brittle system to the breaking point.
I am still a little on the fence about the new album. I think I expected more or maybe I heard the new singles prior to the release too often already to fully appreciate them as part of this new album. I can hear the pressure they were under to perform and with that comes a little too much aggro noise for the sake of it - lyrically, I still have to really go through it, which I know will be worth my time.
As to your doomsday thinking, it is only fair and responsible to do so. I would. I would make plans immediately and get them set up in such a way that you can all quickly fuck off without taking too much of a hit
