    Now That Trump's President... (not any more!)

    ome of the featured speakers at next week’s Republican National Convention: former Covington Catholic High School student Nicholas Sandmann; gun-toting Missouri couple Patricia and Mark McCloskey; and anti-abortion advocate Abby Johnson. The lineup makes clear that no stone will be left unturned on the road to election night; along with destabilizing the postal service and touting an experimental extract to fight COVID-19, Donald Trump  is dialing up his culture-war campaign strategy.

    The beauty beneath Brexit’s bedwetting

    If democratic aliens came down from Mars and looked at the EU referendum result, they’d be compelled to take the view that the UK, hopelessly fragmented by de-industrialisation and neoliberalism, is now finished as a political entity.

    Turbofolk has a dark past as the music most associated with the nationalist forces behind the violent breakup of Yugoslavia. “Until the early years of this century, turbo-folk was a clear example of state-sponsored Government-purposed music,” writes Jennifer C. Lena in Banding Together: How Communities Create Genres in Popular Music. “Not only did government authorities encourage and commission works in this genre; they also supported its production and dissemination. The substance of the music is so instrumental to regime objectives that it was used as a form of propaganda by the state.” For a typical example of 1990s turbofolk at its most banally reprehensible, we need look no further than the video for Ceca’s “It’s Not Monotonous” (“Nije monotonija”), in which she toys with a live tiger cub in the year of her marriage to warlord Arkan, head of the Arkan’s Tigers paramilitary group.
