Very cool, i always enjoyed your polatic's an music. Have you ever thought about running for office?

Holy Crap, ive missed hearing new stuff from Ani!

Wow!!!  I cant stop playing this song!!!  I have listened to it 10 times!! Yes, in a row.  Im that OCD, lol

follow the money and vote opposite! The "free speech" of money is threatening our freedom!

dearly beloved, 
here is another outtake from 1999. take 2 of the song TO THE TEETH. there’s no band kicking in to play an outro at the end. it’s just me and my bass player JASON MERCER sitting on the landing above the stairs at kingsway studio in new orleans (now long gone) playing the song.
a few notes on this 23-year-old tune:
"every year now like christmas, some boy gets the milkfed suburban blues"
THERE HAVE BEEN 38 SCHOOL SHOOTINGS IN 2022 SO FAR.
"open fire on hollywood, MTV, NBC, CBS, ABC…"
the glorification of the gun-wielding cowboy, gangster, vigilante… the reinforcement on the nightly news of the threat of poor people, black people — turning the terrorized into the image of the terrorizer is NOTHING compared to the toxicity of FOX NEWS and an unregulated internet. i just had no idea — as none of us could’ve in 1999 — how far fear-mongering and hate speech could lead us. 
when you encounter hate online — say something —do something. when you see fox news on in public spaces — complain — say something — do something. when you hear the lies of fox news regurgitated out of people’s faces — say something — and most importantly: VOTE.
VOTE FOR PEOPLE WHO SUPPORT GUN CONTROL. STOP VOTING FOR PEOPLE WHO TAKE MONEY FROM THE NRA.
voting is our superpower and it is under threat. the very foundation of democracy is under threat. there are more and more brilliant, young, diverse, dynamic and courageous people stepping up and running for office every day. support them, get behind them, spread the word — wherever they are. we are all connected.
it is within our power to stop white supremacy, fascism, patriarchy and the slaughter of our sisters and brothers — our children. it is within our power to stop the death and destruction of climate change. VOTE like your lives depend on it. MY FELLOW VOTERS — i love you. i think you. i honor your service to your country.
love, ani

God's Away On Business

God's Away On Business (Live)

From the album Tomorrow Is My Turn

The landscape of American music is littered with the ghosts of the unknowable and mysterious blues musician, scratchy voices on a 78 conjuring up an era and an energy long gone. No one represents this better, perhaps, than Geeshie Wiley, who, along with equally unknown L.V. Thomas, recorded a handful of sides for Paramount Records in 1930–31. “Last Kind Word Blues” calls to me in a way that I can’t really explain, but when producer T Bone Burnett suggested it for the record, I knew instantly it was the way to begin.

Last Kind Words

From the album Tomorrow Is My Turn

This is a poignant English translation of the Charles Aznavour song “L’amour c’est comme un jour.” I saw a video from 1968 of Nina Simone performing in London and it became the linchpin of this entire project. I was enthralled with this performance, showed it to friends, and it was at the top of the list when I started thinking about songs to do. This imagery was never too far from me for the recording of this album.

¿Which Side Are You On? - Ani DiFranco

Widely considered a feminist icon, Grammy winner Ani DiFranco is the mother of the DIY movement, being one of the first artists to create her own record label in 1990. While she has been known as the “Little Folksinger,” her music has embraced punk, funk, hip hop, jazz, soul, electronica and even more distant sounds. Her most recent album is the June 2023 25th Anniversary Edition reissue of her seminal album 'Little Plastic Castle' on Righteous Babe Records.  Her memoir 'No Walls and the Recurring Dream' was a New York Times Top 10 best seller in 2019, and her debut children’s book 'The Knowing' is out now.
