Video: "The Only Way" by Yusef Komunyakaa & Tomás Doncker

There might be some questioning about what's been going on around here because there's been a few of non-metal postings all in a row... Don't hate me for the lack of metal vinyl, because I can only review what I receive.

Today is the 100th birthday of Nelson Mandela. It's amazing how much of the world this man changed. In that spirit, True Groove's Tomás Doncker has released a video for Mandela.

Check it out below.

Vinyl Review: "The Mess We Made" by Tomas Doncker & The True Groove All-Stars

The Mess We Made

Let's start off at the beginning. Your friend and humble narrator, is a straight, white, male in America who's only recently truly become aware of his innate privilege.

To say anything else would be a lie.

If you look at the cover of this album, you'll see depictions of things that hit very close to home, literally. My neighborhood had protests.

(Trigger Warning: If you support Americans waving the flags of our enemies, you're going to be pissed off in about 25 words or so.)

Donald Trump is the embodiment of all of these things that I'm alluding to. Let's not be so naive to think that he's the beginning of all of this, as Tomas Doncker says, bullshit that we are dealing with in the United States.
