Welcome to Light On Light Through, Episode 409, in which I interview Simon Vozick-Levinson, Deputy Editor of Rolling Stone, about the magazine's list of the 100 Best Protest Songs of All Time. We talk in particular about Bob Dylan, Phil Ochs, and Sam Cooke, and also discuss the importance of publications like Rolling Stone standing up for democracy in these politically troubling times. As a special treat, at the end of this interview, I play a song, "Dance with Destiny," from James Harris's new LP, The Moons of Jupiter. This is consistent with Phil Ochs' view that we needs works of beauty especially in troubled times.

Some might say that protest music has been around as long as people have lived in groups and put words to melodies.Every era has its own versions of protest music – including right now, and all of them are vital. I go through protest music's long history, its multiple reasons for being, whether or not it's effective in bringing about change, and how it relates to today's sociopolitical climate.Are you a fan of protest music? If so, which songs and from which eras? Do you think protest music does anything beyond giving people a voice? Or do you think politics and social issues should stay out of music? Discuss dammit!BONUS MxTRA VIDEO: Do artists have a responsibility to speak out?~~~*intro music credit: REC - "Wake Up High"*mid roll music credit: The Drop - "Outerloper"

Protest songs are a pivotal part of social and political change. Issues ranging from human rights to war and prohibition have benefited from music written about their causes. On today's show we dive into 3 albums that focus on creating change. Rage Against the Machine – Rage Against the Machine (Andy)Phil Ochs – I Ain't […]
One of the essential functions of art - whether it's visual art or the performing arts - is to comment on society and to highlight issues that require change. Pop music is ideal for this because of its widespread appeal. It's right there in the name; it's pop(ular). Never did pop music and protest synergise more effectively in Aotearoa than in the 1980s; an era when there was no internet and therefore nothing to dilute popular music's enormous power as a rallying point for public focus. Today music commentator Ian Chapman revisits four tracks from this golden era of protest. Ian Chapman is a Senior Lecturer in Contemporary Music at Otago University

Tom is joined by his good friend, singer/songwriter and activist Billy Bragg. The two go back and forth to share the Top 10 Greatest Moments In Protest Music
In Part 1 we speak in depth about Rozi Plain's new album 'Prize'. It's a curious, warming gem of an album that really needs to be talked about. In Part 2 we play 'Spin it or bin it?', the theme this month is Protest Music.Part 1 | Album of the Month | Rozi Plain | PrizeDavid's choice this month is an artist that he has a long relationship with, Rozi Plain. Rozi was new to the rest of us so we were all playing catch up. I can't remember an album that needs to be talked about (in real life, with human beings) as Prize. You will hear me processing what I actually feel about the album, live, while we discuss it. I think I probably come out of the discussion with a slightly different conclusion to the one that I had at the start. All good albums get better with more attention but this one absolutely demands it.Please, please, please go and give it a listen. I think most people will find something that they love about this album.Go listen to the album - Here or HereGo watch some videos - Here or HereGo buy some of Rozi's stuff - HereWe mention a few things that we'd highly recommend checking out, so here are the links;The James McMahon podcast interview / chat with Rozi - HereSophie Walker's Guardian album review - HerePitchfork album review - HereKonstantinos Papis's interview for Our Culture - HerePart 2 | Spin It or Bin It | Protest MusicWe all pick a track based on a theme, present the track and ask the simple question, Spin it or Bin it? The theme this month is a simple one 'Protest Music'. There are no limitations or rules this month other than, as always, we try to bring new music or a new context to each other.Guy chose - 'Take the Power Back' by Rage Against the MachineDavid Chose - 'Ship Building' by Elvis Costello & the AttractionsJoey chose - 'Reagan' by Killer MikeNolan chose - 'Four Women' by Nina SimoneA 16 track Protest Music playlist (4 tracks each) can be found - HereNext MonthGuy brings Young Fathers 'Heavy Heavy' for Album of the Month and we play 'Spin It or Bin It?' with Post-Genre tracks.We've been writing a blog for years come and have a look - https://thisisnothappening.net/We've been writing the blog for years come and have a look - https://thisisnothappening.net/
Welcome to Roadcase!! Dre Smith of Producing a Kind Generation is on the show this week, and this is an absolutely stellar interview! PAKG has a new album coming out in April, and Dre talks to Josh about the myriad challenges he has faced in his life and as a result, how he came into his artistic expression fairly late. He has experienced horrible family trauma, and we discuss what impact his difficult upbringing has had on him and how it has affected his own musical direction. While PAKG is a unique and compelling Afro Art Rock band in which Dre is able to showcase his myriad musical talents, his message is clear and goes far beyond the music itself: we must speak out against injustice, all forms of racism, economic oppression and the immense challenges endemic to the environment where he grew up, and spread a message of love and kindness -- but not without an eye towards enacting positive change, as difficult as that may seem. Dre is a kind and thoughtful soul who shares with Josh some of the personal stories that have shaped him into the human he is today, and what that means for Dre personally, professionally and musically. Please join us on the Roadcase bus for this amazing interview with Dre Smith of Producing a Kind Generation. It's a great one!!For more info:https://www.pakg.world/For more information on Roadcase: https://linktr.ee/roadcasepod and https://www.roadcasepod.comContact: info@roadcasepod.comTheme music: "Eugene (Instrumental)" by Waltzer

On this program, we look at Puerto Rican protest songs over the past two centuries, including Paracumbé's subversive bomba dances from the time of slavery, Las Barrileras 8M, an all-women drumming group demanding an end to violence against women and a new plena from Hector Tito Matos about the death of George Floyd. The past three years have been incredibly traumatic for Puerto Rico: two hurricanes followed by slow recovery efforts that led to the death of 3,057 on the island, a text message scandal mocking women's rights that eventually brought down a governor, the deaths of more unarmed Black men, women and children across the United States and of course the coronavirus pandemic. Producer Dan Rosenberg looks at how artists across Puerto Rico including Plena Libre helped in the healing process after Hurricane Maria by performing for those who lost their homes in the storm. We'll hear music from marches that led to the resignation of Governor Ricardo Rosello. “We've been under attack from nature and bad governments and so many things since 2017, and from before, but 2017 made us more aware,” explains Nelie Lebron-Robles. “Here we are. One nation with a very distinct Latin American identity, very proud of who we are. We've discovered we can do anything that we propose ourselves to do.” APWW #816 Originally broadcast in 2020

Andre and longtime friend Evan get together for a exploratory conversation about the role of protest music in the 21st century. They also have a round of Overrated, Underrated, Or Properly Rated featuring popular hits from decades past.
We've talked about music before, and how for forever it has been used to express the emotions the songwriter is going through at the moment. But music has also been the narrator of history. The change in the political, social and cultural world has been documented through song since the early days. In this episode, we'll explore the history of protest music with special guest Nakkia Gold. Twitter • @IAmBreakingDownInstagram • @BreakingDownShow #BreakingDownShow© 2021 World Vibe Inc.
