Oh really? I bought it on the strength of Judith when that got released as a single and I was instantly hooked on the whole album. Hearing 3 Libras and Orestes for the first time, I felt this album would define my musical tastes.

The MTV Live version of this chokes me up every time. I love this song but I can’t listen to it too often.

Outrage/protest isn’t really evident in pop music, but it’s still there in scenes like punk and hardcore. Off the top of my head, Body Farm are a great contemporary punk band that call out (neo)conservatism and fascism.

Edit: check out their track Revolution With Friends

Yes! Love JG Thirlwell’s work. Been listening to the Wiseblood album a lot recently.

I didn’t intend to be dismissive and if my response sounded that way then I apologise.

I agree it’s difficult to be on the receiving end of vague signals, but my perspective is if there’s any annoyance or frustration it should be directed at the violent/angry men who have caused women to feel unsafe.

Helping women feel safer by tackling the violence and misogyny directed at them by men will benefit everyone.

While it might feel rough for you, it’s worth remembering that a lot of women have faced very real threats of violence for their upfront honesty.

If you’re only getting vague signals then maybe that’s the sign that she’s not fully into you.
