No News is Good News | feat. Public Enemy, Bad Religion, Gorillaz + more
from Six Picks Music Club · host Six Picks Music Network
Episode 067: The 24-hour news cycle is spinning faster than a scratched 45, and this week on Six Picks Music Club, Geoff, Russ, and Dave are feeling the vertigo. We’re putting down the remote and picking up the needle to discuss how the media is failing us—turning information into infotainment and reality into a ratings game. From the "if it bleeds, it leads" mentality to the era of alternative facts, the guys look for the truth hidden between the headlines. The playlist is a front-page spread of sonic skepticism, kicking off with the legendary Gil Scott-Heron reminding us that the real movement happens in the streets, not on the screen. Hüsker Dü provides the frantic energy of a world obsessed with the broadcast, while Public Enemy delivers a scathing "letter" to the tabloids and Bad Religion offers battle-weary reflections from the front lines. Between the cynical satire of Gorillaz and the surreal parody of "Weird Al" Yankovic, it’s an episode for the skeptics, the truth-seekers, and anyone who’s ever wanted to throw their television out the window—just make sure you keep your speakers on.
