Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Ingeniously compiled by journalist Kris Needs to include little or no bona fide punk-rock music at all, the two-CD set Dirty Water traces the development of "punk" as a notion of musical dissent, a matter of antagonistic primitivism rather than style and three-chord Stalinism.
Stretching from the Standells 1960s garage-rock track that gives the set its title to Culture's reggae milestone "Two Sevens Clash", it's a wonderful, diverse journey that takes in surly hippie psychedelia, glam-rock, krautrock, proto-electropop, jazz, art-rock and rockabilly, with surprises at every turn, whether it's Sun Ra's space chant "Rocket Number Nine", T Rex jamming "Elemental Child" onstage, or The Last Poets declaiming "On the Subway". A sobering reminder of how variously potent pop can be with the right attitude.
