As right-wing nationalists snarled, “America, Love It Or Leave It!”, as John Wayne romanticized anti-communist violence in The Green Berets, as police and the national guard plowed through anti-war demonstrations, the Vietnam-era peace movement countered it with expressions of dissent. Several early Bob Dylan songs and Barry McGuire’s folk anthem “Eve Of Destruction” were big 1960s pop hits to serve as peaceful protests against reactionary militarism and the threat of nuclear war. Many other hippie-folk and psychedelic artists created a more phantasmagoric approach to anti-war musi...

Bandcamp / Buy For Florian T M Zeisig, ambient music is as driven by ideas as it is by immediate feeling. As one half of the Berlin new-age duo OCA, the sound artist has used samples cribbed from YouTube synth demos to explore the hidden aspects of contemporary music production. His 2020 solo album Coatcheck made a similar attempt to shed light on invisible labor, weaving field recordings captured during his job as a coat attendant at a Berlin nightclub into a stark meditation on nightlife’s structural underpinnings. On Music for Parents, Zeisig turns his attention to the domesti...

We recently caught up with designer Terry Cavanagh and composer Chipzel via email to talk about the origins of this gem, how its characters and mechanics formed and evolved throughout development, and how classic British game shows helped shape the game and set it apart from your average fantasy deckbuilder. First, we speak t...

Indie Basement: Best Reissues, Box Sets & Compilations of 2020 Having already posted the Indie Basement Best Albums of 2020 list, I thought I'd run down my favorite reissues and compilations from the past year. I stayed within the general confines of the things I cover on a weekly basis. So as much as I dig the Prince ˆmega-deluxe edition and Neil Young's Homegrown, they're not on this list. For the reissues, I picked things that either had lots of worthy bonus features or had been out of print for a long time (often both). I also picked an additional 12 reissues from this year that didn...
