i gave him my number and he literally texts me about this all the time - it's really intrusive

the bass riff from 7 nation army is the most widely replicated tune of the folk canon, it has a life totally divorced from the source, and is passed around orally

they are all gil related, it's the same vocal on each tune (except rihanna but she's very close to the source material). and canada will rightly be part of the US soon enough. it's a lot of covers within a short period. i didn't know the gil scott heron one was a cover itself. but would a...

a micro-trend of the late 2010s:

we are in a cataclysmic rupture right now, at least if you take the 60s as a benchmark. cultural production has shifted dramatically but we are looking in the wrong place if we're expecting the shock to come from music. we've got entirely new forms now, the idea of music being culturally...
