Laurie Anderson and her 2010 album, Homeland

her delivery on "dark time in the revolution" -- her maternal smirk on the line "no matter who you vote for", or the whisper finishing "and you thought there were things / that had disappeared forever / things from the middle ages / beheadings and hangings / and people locked in cages / and suddenly they were everywhere" -- is great agitprop.

I really need to spend some serious time with this album - only enjoyed it casually for the last year and I think it deserves better

And now the clock points histrionically to noon
Some new kind of north
And so
which way do we go
