Republicans control ALL statewide offices in MS and 5 of 6 federal legislative seats. They have convinced the uninformed in their party that Bennie Thompson is the sole reason that the Mississippi Delta continues to struggle...and not them directing funds and investments away.

Fugazi have finally released the long-unheard version of In on the Kill Taker they recorded with Steve Albini in 1992.

The sessions were shelved for decades, but have now been officially unveiled from the original master tapes.

Available on Bandcamp, the digital release serves as a tribute to Albini, with proceeds benefiting the nonprofit Letters Charity.

RIP Mick Ralphs. What a wonderful feel he had for the guitar, and wrote some wonderful songs. 🎸

I've got a new essay up on Substack, it's called:

I Am Signaling You Through The Flames
