Beastie Boys Back Joe Biden By Letting Him Use “Sabotage”

When you think about some of the most iconic groups in the history of music, the Beastie Boys are certainly up there. A few years ago, one of their beloved members, Adam Yauch, passed away and when he died, he asked that the band’s music never be used to promote products in advertisements. Now, however, due to just how high the stakes are in this election, the band has decided to go ahead and license the song “Sabotage” to the Joe Biden Presidential Campaign. Of course, Biden is more of a politician than a product, so it’s easy to see why this decision could have been made.
As for the ad the song is featured in, well, it’s certainly something that would be close to the hearts of those in the group. In the advertisement below, we get a look at a bar called the Blind Pig which is a venue that has played host to some massive musicians in their formative years. According to the establishment’s co-owner, COVID-19 has shut the place down and it’s now in jeopardy of going out of business. The ad explains why Donald Trump’s COVID response has been poor, and why someone new needs to take office.
“Everywhere I go, people have a story about the Blind Pig,” Blind Pig co-owner, Joe Malcoun said. “The Blind Pig has been one of those clubs that attract artists from all genres. For 50 years, the Blind Pig has been open and crowded, but right now, it’s an empty room. This is the reality of Trump’s Covid response. We don’t know how much longer we can survive without any revenue. A lot of restaurants and bars that have been mainstays for years will not make it through this. This is Donald Trump’s economy: There is no plan and you don’t know how to go forward. It makes me so angry. My only hope for my family and for this business and my community is that Joe Biden wins this election.”
This advertisement has already started airing in Michigan, as the Democrats look to reclaim the state after losing it in 2016. With the election just a few weeks away, we will certainly be seeing more ads like this, in the future.

Mister Motivation is making waves with his new single “For The Love of Women”

The new single from Mister Motivation, ”For The Love of Women”, isn’t just a song; it’s an anthem that combines lyrical, soulful hip-hop with heartfelt, raw content! This newest release puts the woman at the center, an ode to her strength, grace, and contribution to the world. But it’s also a call to action, challenging listeners to think about how we all can show up better in relationships and society.
You can hear it from the first beat, ”For the Love of Women” is a rollercoaster of rhythm and meaning. Mister Motivation sings the chorus with his smooth and convincing vocals, while his verses touch on the relevancy of love, give-and-take, and spiritual synergy in relationships. A lot of thought and love went into making this track as a tribute to the women we love and support daily. ”For the Love of Women” message is clear: love is not only fulfilled love but respectful; it goes beyond, it is about equality and the two of us growing together. ”For The Love of Women” seamless blend of music fulfilling its purpose. The song does not simply bemoan women generally but encourages men and women to think about the way they conduct themselves in relationships and how they can present a specific, transforming love. It’s a soulful nudge that in any relationship, the giving and receiving of love should be balanced and mutual.
Besides packing a punch wherever it’s played, the track also promotes something near Mister Motivation’s heart. ”For the Love of Women” is in partnership with F.L.O.W. (For the Love of Women), a non-profit organization committed to bringing awareness to period poverty. This effort focuses on a health issue impacting millions of women worldwide and underscores a basic need and dignity that should be accessible to all women.
With that release, Mister Motivation not only gifted the world with an infectious anthem of positivity but also used his platform to amplify the message of those fighting to make a change. ”For the Love of Women” is a tribute to both uplifting women and fighting period poverty. ”For the Love of Women” is essential whether you are interested in hearing some music from the soul or looking to do good. It finds its music in the stars. It’s purposed music, and Mister Motivation has again crafted something that features a voice that means something and cannot be shaken loose from memory.

Imaginary Voices of Alex Day delivers a haunting protest anthem ‘’The Highway’’

Imaginary Voices of Alex Day’s newest release, “The Highway,” is a gut punch. It is raw, self-reflective, and unapologetically human in a world of fabricated creators. Rage-fueled and visceral, Day pours all its disillusionment and fear into the track (recorded on election night in the U.S.), which doubles as personal catharsis and political protest. The feelings are not abstruse; they’re strewn across practically every lyric and layered beat.
The timing of “The Highway,” creation is no accident, it was penned when a nation made the choice, once more, to crown a leader the songwriter couldn’t bear. The result? A sonic snapshot of anxiety, resistance, and that yearning desire to bolt. But this is not just another protest song. What is particularly provocative about “The Highway” is who’s playing it. Or, more accurately, what? Imaginary Voices of Alex Day, the band that created the track, is entirely AI-powered, and that might be unsettling for some people, and that’s fine. Day welcomes it.
“The Highway” juxtaposes haunting synths with echoing guitar licks and a pulse that pounds like a racing heart. The vocals born of code have a surprising level of pathos as if the machines have learned to mourn. Lyrically, the song strays back and forth between hopelessness and resolve, teetering between yearning to flee and the necessity of taking a stand. This is not just a single; it’s a statement. It raises an eerie question: Can you protest if your sound is a meld of man and machine? And more to the point, does that mean your cry for help is any less valid?
“The Highway” isn’t for everyone. But for the invested, who continue to come to terms with the soul-splitting chaos of modern politics and the increasing prevalence of AI in art, it’s a fascinating, emotional listen. Alex Day doesn’t provide simple solutions, though he’s certainly asking the right questions.
