Thurston Moore has released a new song created in collaboration with the Bernie Sanders campaign, that’s out now via Joyful Noise. Here’s what the label says:
Note: this release is political in nature. Yes, we are huge supporters of Bernie Sanders. If you’re not a bleeding-heart leftist (like many of us at JNR), feel free to sit this one out. We still love you.
Dear JNR friends,
We are very excited to announce this very special release: a brand new composition by Thurston Moore, created in collaboration with the Bernie Sanders campaign.
Titled “Feel It In Your Guts,” the track is a twelve-string acoustic piece laced with excerpts from Bernie Sanders’ speeches, touching on topics like the worship of money, economic inequality, social justice, and the need for basic human rights for all people. (Arranged and mixed by our buddy Mike Bridavsky.)
The release is limited to 1000 hand-numbered copies on square, white flexi-disc vinyl, with screen-printed cover art by David Kloc. The release is currently available, but you have to jump through some hoops to get it:
You see, we wanted this to be a benefit release, but Joyful Noise is a company… and that means Bernie won’t accept a check from us. True story. So, we can’t merely sell you the release and pass the donation to Bernie. Instead, here is how it works:
Step 1: Donate at berniesanders.com (suggested amount $27).* This must be a new donation in your name.
Step 2: Take a screenshot of the confirmation page or email.
Step 3: Upload that screenshot to this page, and claim your free record.* NOTE: there is no donation minimum, but we reserve the right to cancel your order if we feel like you’re being an opportunistic dick. Dig deep. Feel it in your guts.
Well there you have it. Non-opportunistic dicks can head here and then here to check this out.
