Oh jeez, a new track from Massive Attack! https://youtu.be/L-57FrioeuE Tom Waits&#39; voice perfect for this, to my mind. And that&#39;s the percussion from Earth Died Screaming, too, unless I&#39;m mistaken? And good grief that&#39;s some great photography by thefinaleye in the video, too. #Music

@daveybot@mastodon.scot I listened last night. I like this a lot. VERY political, which is on brand!

I'm not sure if it was necessarily the first Tom Waits track I ever heard, but Earth Died Screaming was certainly the first Tom Waits track I ever purchased: It was on the 12 Monkeys soundtrack and, as with everything else about that film, I blimmin' loved it. https://youtu.be/C7I4kSpS43o

@daveybot Massive Attack's Robert del Naja arrested for the heinous terrorist act of holding a cardboard sign opposing genocide a few days ago too - timely, eh? https://www.theguardian.com/music/2026/apr/13/robert-del-naja-massive-attack-arrested-palestine-action-protest-trafalgar-square-london

@daveybot Oh my. That is one of the best and most powerful things I've heard from them, like ever! Oh, and yer man Bob DelNaja got himself arrested last week allegedly for holding a placard.
