Sanity returns to government. Honestly, the bar is really low for competence in government and perhaps it is time for people to think about the creatures that they elect to make important decisions about the future. Just a thought that perhaps we need to think about how we educate our citizens moving forward. The issue is not the elected creature but rather that there are a significant number of these morally bankrupt and evil scum bags being elected and continuing to be the loudest voices in a democracy. It is truly shameful that we are at a point in our history where the symptoms of the disease afflicting our democracy throw up right wing racists and extremists supporting fanciful conspiracy theories all in the name of good government. We have time, as a nation, to alter our path forward, but if we do not take aggressive steps to root out and repel the corrupt and evil and reject ideologies of hate then we are going to be back to the last 4 years soon enough. So, with those positive thoughts, what about the music?

Tales From The Drop Box Episode 190 is still a transitional affair in terms of starting a new music year but still containing some awesome tracks from 2020 which turned out to be a very good year despite the real world issues. So, as we continue into 2020, I suspect that there is much good music to come but let’s not throw away 2020 because the music from last year I think will resonate for a while.

Here is what you’ll find in Episode 190 (2021-01)

1. Alaska Reid – “Warm” (Big Bunny EP)
2. Mary – “Growth” (Die Before Death)
3. Red Zebra – “Innocent People” (Songs & Stripes)
4. Miss Lava – “Red Atlantis” (Doom Machine)
5. The OBGMs – “Triggered” (The Ends)
6. Chubby And The Gang – “Blue Ain’t My Colour” (Speed Kills)
7. Soviet Blackout Frequency – “Scenes From A Murder” (The Port Hope Incident)
8. Oceanator – “A Crack In The World” (Things I Never Said)
9. Mourn – “Men” (Self-Worth)
10. Severin Bells – Boy Scout / Choirboy (A Brighter Side To The Unknown)
11. Blue October – “Oh My My” (This Is What I Live For)
12. Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes – “Fangs” (Blossom)

There’s a crack in the world and we’re all hanging on trying not to fall through the void . . You wear black hair, I have blue you look sadder than most girls do the way you walk around always watching the ground…
