Medicare for All would save $450B a year.

Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.

Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.

It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.

It’s about priorities.

Happy Halloween. Trickle-down economics is nothing more than a cruel hoax designed to enrich corporations and the super-rich. For working people, it's been 40 years of all trick and no treat. Enough.

Adelita Grijalva now holds the record for longest delay between winng a special Congressional election and being sworn into office.

Why the delay from Mike Johnson?

Perhaps it's because Grijalva would cast the final vote needed to release the Epstein files.

Every day, Mike Johnson blatantly lies right to the faces of the Capitol Hill press.

And every day they just take it.

"Living in the Past" contains album tracks, outtakes, the "Life Is a Long Song" EP, and all of their singles non-lp tracks except "Aeroplane", "Sunshine Day", "One for John Gee", "17" and the original United Kingdom version of "Teacher" (the United States single version, included in the US version of Benefit, was included instead).
With hit albums like Benefit and Aqualung (as well as a spectacular live show), Jethro Tull became one of rock's most popular bands by the early '70s. While many were quick to categorize its music as prog-rock (Γ  la Yes, Genesis, etc.), Tull also dabbled in folk, jazz, heavy metal, and blues. After the success of the band's previous two albums, Chrysalis Records issued the double album Living in the Past, a mix of hits, important album tracks, single/EP-only material, and previously unreleased live tracks.
As longtime fans know, and as Living in the Past makes clear, Jethro Tull produced a wealth of great songs outside of their hits. The best-known song in this collection is undoubtedly the title track, while "Song for Jeffrey," "Witches Promise," and "Hymn 43" also remain classic rock radio staples. There are also numerous lesser-known highlights, many of which were compiled from singles and EPs and are therefore otherwise difficult to obtain.Living in the Past, then, is a treasure trove for Tull fans, and a fine place for the uninitiated to start exploring this ambitious band.

"Living in the Past" is a double album by Jethro Tull, released in the US on October 31, 1972 (June 23, 1972 in the UK).

This is horrific...

There is no reason for this.

Rust Never Sleeps. The first acoustic side is contemplative and quite splendid. But the electric side is where things get really good. Powderfinger alone is worth the price of the LP. One of Young's best works and a landmark rock album. Period. Still stunning in 2025.

Kraut Rock at its very best - sorry about the video;-) Et Cetera - 1971 - Prog Rock - Full Album

NEU!Vember Day 17:

Et Cetera - S/T 1971

Formerly the Wolfgang Dauner group, this self titled is a fun excursion into the avant-garde jazz fusion side of Krautrock. This is probably the most forward-thinking record of their goofy little catalog--all worth checking out.
