Hey, it's Alan, and I just wanted to let you know that you can now listen to the ongoing

history of new music early and ad-free on Amazon Music, included with Prime.

Music is one of the greatest gifts the universe has bestowed on humanity. It provides so much

joy and comfort and inspiration and enjoyment and motivation. It's used in ritual and worship, and it allows

us to communicate when words fail us. Every culture we've ever known since the birth of this planet

has had music. An existence without music? Inconceivable. But like everything else in this life, even the best things can be perverted and corrupted for

malevolent purposes.

And that includes music.

It can be something as simple as your brother or sister annoying you by playing their

awful music at high volume.

Or music can be employed as a weapon, a tool of war, an instrument

of torture, a form of intimidation, and a way of inflicting pain and distress. To be fair,

it can also be used as gentle, non-lethal retaliation against some kind of incursion or attack.

No bullets may be fired, but a point

will be made. This use of music is almost as old as music itself, and this history is not pretty.

Welcome to the story of using music as a weapon. Oh, and a warning. This could get loud.

This is the ongoing history of new music podcast with Alan Cracks.

Let the body shit the throw.

Let the body shit the throw.

Let the body shit the throw.

Let the body shit to throw. Let the body shit the throw.

Let the body shit the blow.
