They are not throwing it, sadly, they know that most will continue with the status quo.

The Republican-lites, duopoly, know that the people are okay with being sheep herded into voting for them.

They will continue to vote blue no matter who.

The reds also do the same.

“Houdini” serves as the lead single to Eminem’s twelfth studio album The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce). The track is named after Harry Houdini, a popular magician known for his death-defying stunts like the Chinese Water Torture Cell, which Eminem replicates in the intro to his 1999 track, “Role Model.”

With the return of long-time collaborator Jeff Bass of the Bass Brothers, Eminem revisits his catchy albeit morbid sound of the early 2000s. This fanfare track sees him callback to his old catchphrases such as Shady’s iconic “Guess who’s back?” line from the 2002 track “Without Me.”. The backing track for the song is also taken from the song [Abracadabra] written by the Steve Miller Band in 1973.

On October 24th, 1926, Houdini tragically passed away in Detroit, Michigan at the age of 52. Interestingly, Detroit is also the hometown of Eminem, who turns 52 in October 2024.

The single was first teased by Eminem on May 20, 2024, when he posted a teaser to his social media accounts with a text message from “All Contacts” stating:

…and for my last trick!

The text message would also have a date of May 31, sparking rumours of Eminem releasing music on that day.

On May 28, 2024, Eminem would post a video to Instagram of him on a FaceTime call with magician David Blaine. At the end of the video, Eminem announced the release of “Houdini” on May 31, then closed out by stating “for my last trick, I’m gonna make my career disappear,” hinting at The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce) being his final studio album.

The song “Video Kid” by The Birthday Massacre is a unique and captivating track that holds a deeper meaning for those who delve into its lyrics and music. This Canadian rock band, known for their distinctive sound and blending of genres, introduces listeners to a world of nostalgia, personal reflection, and societal commentary through this particular song. With its catchy melodies and haunting atmosphere, Video Kid invites listeners to explore themes of escapism, identity, and the struggle for authenticity in the digital age.

Video Kid reflects on the concept of escaping reality through the lens of technology. The lyrics describe a character who feels disconnected from the real world and finds solace in a virtual realm. This virtual reality acts as an alternate dimension where the video kid can be anyone and do anything without judgment or consequences. The song explores the allure of technology and its potential to shape one’s identity and offer temporary relief from the uncertainties and pressures of real life.

“Video Killed the Radio Star” was inspired from the J.G. Ballard short “The Sound-Sweep.” It was written by Trevor Horn, Geoff Downes and Bruce Woolley, and was the first track recorded for The Age of Plastic. The song went on to be a huge worldwide hit, peaking at the number one spot in several territories.

A little-known fact is that the song was originally recorded by Woolley’s band Bruce Woolley and the Camera Club. This version had slightly different lyrics, and lacked the characteristic “oh-a oh-a” hook.

A spiritual successor to the movie Singin' in the Rain, which was about how the rise of what were known as “talking pictures” wrecked the careers of those talented silent film actors whose voices wouldn’t translate to film. The song is about those musicians whose careers were destroyed because they would not translate visually to television. Adequate to this theme, the music video for the song was famously the first aired on MTV, at 12:01AM on August 1st, 1981.

Nice, I see 'The Coup', I approve!

Told in first person, this is the story of a boy, his prostitute momma, and her evil pimp. Fear, sex, money, poverty, history repeating itself, violence against women, revenge, and redemption are just some of the poignant themes we experience through Boots Riley’s gritty narrative

The U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday revived the National Rifle Association's lawsuit accusing a New York state official of coercing banks and insurers to avoid doing business with the gun rights group in a ruling that warned public officials against wielding their power to punish speech they dislike.

The NRA accused Vullo of unlawfully retaliating against it for its constitutionally protected gun rights advocacy by targeting it with an "implicit censorship regime" following a 2018 mass shooting in which 17 people were killed at a high school in Parkland, Florida.

"Ultimately, the critical takeaway is that the First Amendment prohibits government officials from wielding their power selectively to punish or suppress speech, directly or, as alleged here, through private intermediaries," Sotomayor wrote.

David Cole, a lawyer with the American Civil Liberties Union advocacy group that represented the NRA, said the ruling "confirms that government officials have no business using their regulatory authority to blacklist disfavored political groups."

Vullo was sued in both her official and personal capacities. But the 2nd Circuit found that Vullo would be protected from suit under the legal defense of qualified immunity that shields officials from civil litigation in certain circumstances.

The NRA found an unlikely ally in the case in President Joe Biden's administration. Even though Biden has called gun violence a national embarrassment, his administration had urged the justices to let the NRA pursue its lawsuit.
