my politics evolved while listening to WTYP backlog (i started when they were at like episode 50) and by the time i caught up i was thoroughly disgusted at how much it declined and how surface level their communist ideals are. particularly alice. holy fuck. at least Liam doesn't pretend to be this all-knowing political wunderkind

some of them are just obscure and i only heard of their artists and that they were a big thing (big enough to be suppressed and harassed) from this book "The Folk Singers and the Bureau" and others arent quite labor/communist songs but i just think are neat like "The Dying Cowboy" and "Farewell Angelina" theyre absolute heart-renders. some are only on there because theyre a bit different but i wouldnt call them good and they only barely fit the style like "Coal Miner's Daughter" by far my least fav
