People Are Making Hilarious Electoral Maps Based On Ludacris, Sufjan Stevens, And More

The final votes are being cast in the 2020 presidential election today, and whoever comes away with 270 electoral college votes will spend the next four years in the White House. This data is often usefully presented in electoral maps, which show what states have given electoral votes to which candidate. While those numbers aren’t rolling in just yet, sites like 270towin.com have maps based on projections. That site and others also have tools that allow users to create their own electoral maps, and in recent days, music fans have been having fun with those.

For example, somebody made an electoral map that shows how the election would shake out if Biden won all the states containing area codes where Ludacris claimed to have hoes in his classic song “Area Codes,” and Biden wins by a landslide. Meanwhile, the election would be much closer if Biden won every state that gets mentioned in a Red Hot Chili Peppers song, as another map indicates. Then there’s “The Sufjan,” which indicates a candidate would lose badly if they only got votes from states Sufjan Stevens has made albums about (Michigan and Illinois).

Ringo Starr came up with his own map, suggesting that he would get every single electoral vote. Don’t tell that to at least one Britney Spears fan, though, who thinks the pop star has this one in the bag.

Check out those maps and others above and below.

“We Keep Walking” by Foxy Leopard explores the quiet forces that lead us toward history

Foxy Leopard

There is something unsettling about being on a journey that does not end when the destination is not assured. That tug is at the heart of Foxy Leopard’s cinematic alt-country sound on “We Keep Walking.” What looks like a simple step forward becomes a meditation on history, community, and the choices people make before they know the consequences.

The concept album Foxy Leopard released earlier tells the story of the last months before the American Civil War through the lives of common people, and the song is a turning point that takes a different turn from a typical historical song. It’s not zooming in on the war itself but on the unseen momentum building around normal families and communities.

Foxy Leopard dishes up alt-country with a cinematic edge, and “We Keep Walking” seems to be a particularly potent example of that style. This song has a forward motion that fits its theme, a driving pulse, and darker implications all the more apparent.

The vocal and production approach serves the storytelling, and there’s a control beneath the energy that makes the track’s space feel reflective, uneasy, and quietly dramatic. Foxy Leopard demonstrates how alt-country can be employed for cinematic storytelling without sacrificing its human scale. If you’re a fan of atmospheric alt-country, storytelling songwriting, and songs that find personal meaning in grand historical moments, there’s a lot to discover on “We Keep Walking.”

Lana Crow unveils a fun getaway for summer freedom on latest release “Japrisot”

Lana Crow

Lana Crow‘s latest release, “Japrisot” is a song that feels carved from sunshine, open roads, and the call of the sea. Lana Crow’s sunny summer feel here is a perfect fit. The song takes inspiration from The Lady in a Car with Glasses and a Gun, and while it has a playfully dramatic touch, its energy is squarely aimed at adventure. Right away, the attitude is set in the lyrics, “I stole your car, I bet you weren’t prepared for this. I am driving off. To the sea, to the joy you can never know. It’s cheeky, it’s bold, it’s just right for the song’s freewheeling summer vibe.

“Japrisot” musically has the feel of a classic pop tune, with a bass line that serves as an especially enjoyable foundation for the guitar. Lana’s vocal texture is another appealing element, her breath control and warmth are cool, giving the song a playful drama without overwhelming its breeziness.

Lana Crow keeps the track moving with lyrics about speed, excitement, and the rush of taking control, the feeling of movement goes on. I’m driving fast, the rush of hitting the gas, it feels so hot, it makes me feel like a badass, this is what I call freedom. The song doesn’t just talk about a sunny day, it gives the heat, the road, and the sea something bigger, something that’s part of an escape.
