Chapo Goes on not Chapo

Beautiful Day is a feel good, uplifting pop rock song that serves as a reminder to all of us that it is always possible to be optimistic.

CORRECTED DESCRIPTION 13 May 2024

This is a piece created by Duncan Chapman from recordings of forced rhubarb growing at David Westwood & Son rhubarb farm, near Wakefield. You can hear the rhubarb buds popping as they burst and also some mud as we squelched around in the dark. The audio has been cleaned up as much as possible to remove the sound of both the M62 and M1 motorways which are nearby!

And Introducing Podcast

#25 KANYE WEST! (ft. Felix Biederman)

Matt Christman of Chapo Trap House drops by this week to talk about his humble Midwest origin story, what gets him riled up most, the unending quest to post, whether political satire is dead, the millennial move towards socialist politics, why sophistication is stupid, and his morbid predictions about the supposedly imminent Blue Wave.  The outro music is “I Love My Shirt” by Donovan.

72: Matt Christman

Matt Christman and Brendan James of Chapo Trap House rebel against the very normal circumstances of today's hellworld - from the despair of daily life under an economic system we know is killing us and the planet, to the hopelessness of politics ruled by a vampiric right, a hollowed-out center, and a mostly dead left.

Matt and Brendan are co-authors of "The Chapo Guide to Revolution: A Manifesto Against Logic, Facts and Reason" from Touchstone.

Dealing with capitalism-induced failure and despair, the Chapo Trap House way.

Matt Christman from Chapo Trap House returns to Jake's haunted apartment to discuss the book Young Stalin by Simon Sebag Montefiore and the material conditions of late Tsarist Russia. Nice!

Matt Christman's Softcore History 2: Young Stalin

Released on Linear Obsessional's free download label, my album The Terminal Beach was first conceived in the early 80's.  It is a personal story as much as an attempt to capture JG Ballard's short story.  

A man maroons himself upon a former nuclear test atoll in the Pacific.  The small landscape is festooned with concrete structures.  Lakes, bunkers and two thousand blocks.  Wrecked bombers and more structures than even Ballard gets time to write about.  A story written in the shadow of the cold war, it perfectly captured who and what I was in my early 20's.  Come with me here, and see the sights?
