Robber 👺

On her latest album as The Weather Station, Toronto’s Tamara Lindeman sheds some of the pastoral folk of her previous albums in favour of electric urgency. The new album Ignorance explores some of the most important issues of our day — the climate crisis, late stage capitalism, indigenous rights, etc. 

Lindeman’s voice has never sounded more confident and assured. Backed by eight musicians and instruments ranging from jazzy saxophone to disco-tinged synths and jangly guitars, Lindeman often sounds more like Héloïse Letissier of Christine and the Queens than Joni Mitchell. 

Here’s Lindeman describing the album’s opening track, Robber:

There are real human people who are literally robbing us and all future generations of all of everything that matters, right now. But we literally can't see that as a society, because for one thing because we've been taught not to value what is taken, and for another because we've been taught to glamourize and love the taker. We love to love the taker. We don't know how to see the victim of the taking.

The idea that all opinions are equal is nonsense – believing that gave us Trump as President |

  Over the last decade, the stock in stupidity and uninformed opinions has risen exponentially – Twitter and Facebook have both made stars out of the stupid

Stupidism is liberating. Stupid is easy. You don’t even have to read a book. In fact it is the first doctrine in history in which never having read a book is a requirement. Years of pent up rage bent double under that chip on your shoulder because you failed history GCSE can be washed away with the aid of 700k Twitter followers reinforcing your witlessness

“Andrade goes on to note that the walls of the marketplace of Chang'an were thicker than the walls of major European capitals”

For those people who think ancient China had backward engineering technology, stuff this fact up your ass.

So earlier I walked into the kitchen and I see my mom talking with one of the neighbors friends and what I hear is, "All the blacks should go back to Africa, all of the Mexicans should go back to Mexico, and all of the Chinese should go back to China." And my thoughts were, "What the fuck did I just walk into?" So I said to her, "You know the government should focus more on homeless than racism." And she didn't know I was gesturing to her and she just agreed with it. Later on and I wish I would've said this to her that by her logic if all of those races should go back to their home country then white people would have to go back to England. Because this place used to belong to Native American's and she shouldn't be spouting off ignorant opinions without thinking first. But I didn't. One because I didn't think of it until later on and two a wise voice said unto me, "Don't argue with idiots."
