Sure there’s all three Portishead albums, Kate Bush, some early Queen, Peter Gabriel-era Genesis, Milla Jovovich’s only album, Fish-era Marillion, New Pornographers, but if forced to choose absolute favorite album: The Letting Go by Bonnie “Prince” Billy. youtu.be/A6E3VUS7b8k

In general, this is a terrible idea, but in Snyder’s case I doubt anyone could tell the difference. (I will go to my grave saying this: While it’s hardly great cinema, the Whedon cut of Justice League is *vastly* superior to the drudgery of the so-called Snyder cut.)

For me, nothing else even remotely comes close (though I do like the soundtrack for the first Life Is Strange game, which included great tracks from Amanda Palmer, Alt-J, and others).

I’m not really a podcast listener usually, but I’ve listened to a lot of these and they’re *really* good. Jess is a fantastic moderator/interviewer imo.

The usual suspects are out there yelling "There are 23 million government workers! Fire most of them!" No awareness that most work for local governments, and most of *them* are schoolteachers. Federal employment hasn't grown since the 1950s
