We Are The Dollars and Cents, The Pounds and Pence

Song: “Dollars and Cents”

Artist: Radiohead

Album: Amnesiac (2001)

… Oxford, United Kingdom …

Aaahhhh Amnesiac… Kid A’s younger sibling who lurks in the shadows. Peculiar, mystifying and at times perplexing; in the end Amnesiac has been nothing but another remarkable album from Radiohead.

Love ‘em or hate ‘em I personally think Radiohead should always be admired for their constant innovation, something which too many bands these days fail to find.

A track that gets into the issues of materialism, the soulless nature of capitalism and the swines that run it all.

God Hates A Coward

Song: “God Hate A Coward”

Album: Tomahawk

Artist: Tomahawk (2001)

…California, United States…

Tomahawk was the band that Mike Patton said would carry on the legacy of where Faith No More left off. It’s beautifully dark, melodic but my only complaint is that it isn’t entirely fresh sounding. 

What this album did manage to do was cement the genius that is not only Patton but every artist that he chooses to associate himself with. 

I have a number of favorite songs on this album, “God Hates A Coward” is just one of them plus the clip is fantastic.
