Today, it seems like everybody's got a bone to pick with the news.

So it happens when somebody stops talking smack

and just decides to wage all-out war.

First thing you do in an invasion,

you eliminate the communications of the enemy.

And what happens if they win?

Visit Stockton, California for a story about a revolt

against the mainstream media that's shaken up a city.

From MPRs and Visibility.

For MPR music, you're connected to all songs considered. I'm Bob Boylin.

I have a few new discoveries on this week's show,

but I want to start off with a favorite of the last half-dozen years.

Tories.

I'm thrilled to let you know that Tories has her fifth album coming in July,

and that album is called Thirstyear.

What I've heard has a good deal of spark and a lot of flames to it.

I'm going to play the lead-off track and McKenzie Scott,

the artist known as Tories, is going to tell us about that song.

Don't go putting wishes in my head.

This song was recorded in the fall of 2020 in Devon in the UK

at Middle Farm Studios.

It's basically the most fun song I've ever written.
