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.It's freezing, Donald Trump is the President of the United States, and Amy Adams has been snubbed by the Academy Awards.
To try and help you get through a very tough month, one of my favourite new bands, Black Honey, have made us a playlist of some of their favourite tracks.
Have a listen below:
“Another Girl, Another Planet” - The Only Ones
"It's the perfect pop song."
"Cold Cold Cold" - Cage The Elephant
"Cage The Elephant are the Black Honey van sound track, we know basically every word of the “Tell Me I'm Pretty“ album."
"Life on Mars" - David Bowie
"Rest his soul! I've started having dreams where Bowie comes to teach me about how to write and be a better artist."
“Salvation” - The Limiñanas
"We’d never heard of these guys until we played with them at a festival in France last year, we all instantly fell in love."
“The Sound of Silence” - Simon and Garfunkel
"It's the perfect Ginsberg style portrait of sadness."
“Treats” - Inheaven:
"This song channels our fav bits of grunge."
“Flame” - Sundara Karma
"We have been friends with these guys since we met playing the Festival Republic stage at Reading & Leeds Festival. Their debut album “Youth Is Only Ever Fun in Retrospect” just came out. Support our friends and buy it!"
“Stay Free” - The Clash
"Because of topper. What a guy."
“Cosmic Dancer” - T.Rex
"Bolan inspires me everyday. I i jumped up and down on my bed to this song for most of my childhood pretending to be Billy Elliot."
“Et moi, et moi, et moi” - Jacques Dutronc
"We are about to go back to Normandy to live in a barn and record new material. I like to pretend I am Bardot dancing to this song in the kitchen drinking wine before dinner."
