Now the Gin Blossoms: Songs from the Edge — The Doug Hopkins Years and Beyond.
When listeners first hear the sparkling intro of “Hey Jealousy,” it’s easy to be swept away by the upbeat guitar jangle and infectious melody. But at the song’s heart is something far more complicated: a portrait of longing, regret, and fragile hope.
Why Basic Income works right now, Let’s make it Universal!
One of the most powerful aspects of UBI, as both Yang and Santens have noted, is its ability to unite people across political divides. UBI appeals to progressives because it reduces poverty and inequality.

Sirocco: Ka Bohaleng | Abel Selaocoe with Manchester Collective & Chesaba
Genre-defying cellist Abel Selaocoe is joined by his band Chesaba and the Manchester Collective string players in this electrifying take on a traditional South African song. Its title, ‘Ka Bohaleng’ (On The Sharp Side) references a common saying that “a woman holds a knife on the sharp end”. The song is a dedication to all mothers, and the women who take care of us through times of hardship. Filmed as part of the Sirocco tour at the Royal Northern College of Music, Manchester in October 2019. Manchester Collective feat. Chesaba Cello – Abel Selaocoe Percussion – Sidiki Dembele Violin – Rakhi Singh Violin – Simmy Singh Viola – Ruth Gibson Electric Bass – Alan Keary
