a) This is a song about getting bleached into oblivion by a hydrogen bomb.
b) Imagine you are playing Taboo! On this song’s card would be words like ‘apocalyptic’, ‘fury’, ‘Ragnorak’, ‘epic’, ‘raze’, ‘oh holy shit’.
b2) And you would lose that round of Taboo.

Bad Girls, MIA, Vicki Leekx (drunkby6)
Ok, so let’s talk. This is a mixtape inspired by WikiLeaks. There’s a lot of (unintentionally???) hilarious early 00’s BUBBLE-MAC-voiced breaks about I AM THE GOVERNMENT and WE ARE ALL GOOGLE or whatever. And not everything works! But then, just as you’re on the cusp of CURLIN YR LIP and writing yr scathing Tumblr review. Well everything just kicks together and it’s like a sonic boom surging through your stomach and all you really want to do is kick in the window of a Banana Republic and torch a car and dance in the light of a HUNDRED BURNING OIL FIELDS.
I guess what I’m saying is. I like it. And this track? IS A JAM.

"Irony and cynicism were just what the U.S. hypocrisy of the fifties and sixties called for. That’s what made the early postmodernists great artists. The great thing about irony is that it splits things apart, gets up above them so we can see the flaws and hypocrisies and duplicates. The virtuous always triumph? Ward Cleaver is the prototypical fifties father? “Sure.” Sarcasm, parody, absurdism and irony are great ways to strip off stuff’s mask and show the unpleasant reality behind it. The problem is that once the rules of art are debunked, and once the unpleasant realities the irony diagnoses are revealed and diagnosed, “then” what do we do? Irony’s useful for debunking illusions, but most of the illusion-debunking in the U.S. has now been done and redone. Once everybody knows that equality of opportunity is bunk and Mike Brady’s bunk and Just Say No is bunk, now what do we do? All we seem to want to do is keep ridiculing the stuff. Postmodern irony and cynicism’s become an end in itself, a measure of hip sophistication and literary savvy. Few artists dare to try to talk about ways of working toward redeeming what’s wrong, because they’ll look sentimental and naive to all the weary ironists. Irony’s gone from liberating to enslaving. There’s some great essay somewhere that has a line about irony being the song of the prisoner who’s come to love his cage."
