This is a great playlist. Starts off with "Hit or Miss" by Odetta: amazing song by a great artist whose voice gives me shivers. I recognize a lot of the artists, but there's also some that are new to me. It's not overly long so it's a perfect intro to the topic.

Yeah, if you worked a little harder you wouldn't be so damn poor... you have to listen to these lyrics.

Pa’lante, Hurray for the Riff Raff

The last time Hurray for the Riff Raff performed with a full band at Newport was 2017. That year, the singer ended their set with “Pa’lante,” their showstopping, tear-jerking call to action. It happened again on Sunday, when singer-songwriter Alynda Segarra wrapped up a tour-de-force album showcase of their 2024 album The Past is Still Alive with “Pa’lante.” The song has changed shape over the last eight years — Segarra now includes a spoken-word recitation of the poem “If I Must Die” by the slain Palestinian poet Refaat Alareer — but the message remains the same. And it was a message Segarra incorporated throughout their rousing performance, whether on the newly relevant “Precious Cargo” (“I hate you, ICE”) or the recent masterpiece “Snakeplant.” “There’s a war on the people,” Segarra sang during the latter. “What don’t you understand?” [ Rolling Stone - Newport Folk Festival 2025: The Best Things We Saw ]

❝ The last few nights have been really special. Enormous thank you to the unique and brilliant @/bedouinemusic for joining me these past three shows at @/thekiaforum, it’s been such a joy.
