[MP3 + Music Video] Snotty Nose Rez Kids – Creator Made an Animal Feat. Boslen
First single from the new album by one of our favorites, Canada’s Snotty Nose Rez Kids. Peep the background:
“Creator Made An Animal” is our way of paying homage to the place that we call home as our spirits awaken and our people rise up.
The sng carries an aggressive and assertive energy that imitates the way society portrays Indigenous people and People of Colour across Turtle Island. Our ancestors were stereotyped as savages, and we are often regarded as the pissed-off generation who haven’t gotten over what colonization has done to our lands and to our people. Through stylish delivery, we proclaim ourselves as the Father 7th Generation and let the world know that we aren’t changing for anyone. The future is ours!
As human beings, we are powerful. It’s integral that we respect the knowledge that was passed down from our ancestors. Many of us also carry their pain, but every single one of us carry their power. Embrace that power, stay true to that power and to yourself!
Snotty Nose Rez Kids’ new album, TRAPLINE, will be released in April.

[MP3] Fist Of Facts – First Strike
Nice slice of no-wavey alternative music with a PiL-era Lydon-esque vocal on top which is no surprise given the pedigree of the artist involved:
After no-wave legends Liquid Liquid broke up in 1984, singer Salvatore Principato took some much needed to time to reevaluate his musical direction. Renting a studio on the Lower East Side with Ken “Man” Caldiera, they began their next musical project, Fist of Facts.
In 1985 Ken Man showed up in the studio with this IBM AT computer. It had a 1/2 MB of RAM and some Voyetra software that could sequence music, and effectively became the duo’s backing band. They expanded upon the natural groove that Liquid Liquid established over their brief career, adding a strong political message and abstract dub soundscapes.
Given this, maybe I should be reversing the direction of who influenced whom? “Fist of Facts” from the Fugitive Vesco album out now.
[MP3] Alazar Kidanu – Right Back
Cool (but slightly profane) track I discovered while working on the 2019 edition of CBC Music’s Searchlight.
