“How Far We’ve Come” – The Big Pink
\nThis big, positive track is a good thing to listen to in the heart of the political season. There’s a lot going wrong in the world, and I tend to think we’re heading a very bad direction in so many different aspects of life. But in other ways, we’ve really come a long way. Silver linings and whatnot…<\/p>\n
“The Politics of Dancing” – Re-Flex
\nI heard this on the way to school this morning and it also seemed appropriate. Everything else is political these days. Dancing might as well be, too.<\/p>\n
“Where’s The One?” – Congotronics International “Flip It” – Bleached “Bad Thing” – Miya Folick
\nIf dancing\/music is going to be political, this is the kind of political music I want. People from various backgrounds coming together to make insanely great music. You can read a little more about this collective here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
\nOne of the few surviving acts from that early 2010s Girl Garage Pop movement. I wish the Dum Dum Girls were still around, but this isn’t too bad of a placeholder.<\/p>\n
\nOne critic said this song sounds like something Angel Olsen would have done had she veered towards shimmery pop rather than the quasi-country\/Dusty Springfield lane she carved out on her last album. I don’t know if Folick has Olsen’s pure vocal talent, but she’s pretty good and this song is terrific.<\/p>\n
