Track Selection & Mixes: Henry Rollins curated the tracks from multiple mix variations on the reels.
Engineering: Ian MacKaye and Don Zientara handled the studio engineering at Inner Ear Studios.
Mastering: Pete Lyman mastered the project at Infrasonic Sound in Nashville, preserving the raw 1977 tape punch and dynamic headroom without modern digital squashing or artificial sheen.
If people think anything AOC announces publicly isn’t a calculated move to advance her political capital, they are mistaken.
Most of the time she has her opponents playing right into her hands precisely because so many of them still treat her like she’s dumb or impulsive. She’s sharper, more media-savvy, and far more strategic than her critics realize.
@RolandOrzabal_ It depends on the artist. For example, Bob Marley's songs stand on their own—background knowledge isn't necessary to feel their universal resonance. On the other hand, with Frank Zappa, understanding the satire and references makes listening immeasurably richer.

(Of course, the full definition goes from Ella Fitzgerald to Dale Watson and beyond!)
Please pray for our country—that we would accept God’s grace to stand firmly against our enemies according to His will, and that we would faithfully care for our widows and orphans as He has commanded. Pray that we remain ever mindful of our total dependence upon His loving grace, knowing that apart from Him, we are helpless and hopeless.
Lord Jesus, I pray for Governor Gavin Newsom. Please lift the veil from his eyes, open his heart to Your truth, and lead him to know You as Lord and Savior. May he no longer be blind to the real consequences of his policies on ordinary people and small businesses, nor to the weight of his own transgressions. Open his eyes to see true wisdom beyond political posturing, and grant him the humility to seek Your guidance and justice. Amen.
@famousmissKyave@marthamaccallum@DanielDiMartino@TheStoryFNC Say what you will about socialism—I don't need convincing on its depravity—but at least she had the spine to go on Fox and defend her ideas, whereas Democrats are too chicken to ever show up.
