Traffic Jams: Godspeed You! Black Emperor - 'The Dead Flag Blues'
Traffic sucks, so why not start your morning off with some music? You provide the toast and we'll provide the jams
A little inside baseball: I just wrote up a Traffic Jam for Chappel Roan's "Red Wine Supernova." Let's be honest though, people. Very few of us are feeling Chappel Roan right now. I'd wager many more of us are feeling Godspeed You! Black Emperor. "The Dead Flag Blues" are a bit more topical towards life today:
The car's on fire and there's no driver at the wheelAnd the sewers are all muddied with a thousand lonely suicidesAnd a dark wind blows
The government is corruptAnd we're on so many drugsWith the radio on and the curtains drawn
We're trapped in the belly of this horrible machineAnd the machine is bleeding to death
If that ain't a mood. Have fun listening.
