One thing we like talking about as much as music is the coming of the next great depression and the book Hard Times by Studs Terkel. (And American Pictures by Jacob Holdt.) Please enjoy this angry sound track to hard times and load up on dookie ropes and hyenas to protect your shit. Keep it gritty and gangsta and see you in the Miracle Mile bread line!

I’ll go ahead and complain. I honestly think the time is ripe for a cover of “Brother, Can You Spare a Dime,” featuring Santogold, the lead singer of the Hold Steady and Sufjan Stevens. Rick Rubin could produce?
