Why despicable? An hour’s radio listening in which one hears no political songs says something terrifying about our world, because our deepest passions shouldn’t be exclusively genital. I hate to be terrified, hence these songs. Meanwhile political songs that say nothing objectionable (nothing new) are just marketing.  I’ve made no-one angry I’ve failed.  Art is failure in its purest, crystalline form.   As we say here at despicablemusic.org,“Love Des Pickard – hate yourself!!!”

Why “.org?”  – I attended a songwriting workshop once with four hitmakers and an ad jingle writer.  Over the course of the evening they all turned into the ad jingle writer.  I swore a mighty (and redundant!) oath never to accept a penny for the songs , as talent is nothing to be proud of and as love for sale, isn’t.  It’s a completely unviable business model.  If these songs are worth anything pay me with a discrete uptick in your political involvement.  Self-education counts.

Music is about passions. Mine include Simone Weil, Noam Chomsky, Christopher Lasch, Jean-Claude Michea, and multiple antiwar commentators of the left and of the right.   Your passions are fine too!  *You might check out some of the guests on Glenn Diesen, Judge Napolitano, the Grayzone, The Duran – google local activist calendars or simply “protesters arrested [my town].” Humility is where fierceness meets honesty, meaning kindness. If starting out with Weil, maybe try Oppression and Liberty before tackling Gravity and Grace.
