Happy New Tier!



That’s what the Morse above says. Inventor Samuel Morse was pro-slavery and a candidate for the 19th Century version of Trump, the anti-immigrant and anti-Catholic ‘Know Nothing’ Nativist party who started riots over race and religion. He seems oddly relevant to what is happening in the States in the last week with the Capitol Building attempted coup/insurrection.



I found that out after I had recorded this episode but it all seems weirdly in sync with re-evaluating the past and the weird political history of the United States – of recent immigrants pulling up the ladder for later immigrants. And I see now these insurrectionists and rioters are freaking out that they are being arrested, purged from social media and on No Fly lists for storming government buildings to start a revolution. What did they expect?



Music varies in this episode from punk to dub, reggae and rocksteady to arabic funk and disco, acid to indie dance, hiphop to nu-gaze, cosmic disco to chilled neo-classical ambience. We say goodbye to Trump (hopefully), Elias Rahbani and Harold Budd and hell-oh to 2021 – please don’t be like your Big Brother…
