Roger Waters -- Is This The Life We Really Want?

Oh fuck me yes. Where have you been for 25 years dude?

Oh YES. Vinyl arrived today - gob smackingly good. An unremittingly bleak picture of modern life in Waters' glorious prose, with such superb one liners:

"Picture a leader with no fucking brains" and in another song "And every time a nincompoop becomes the President"

My jam is "Drinking Song" by Rob Dougan (anyone who's hung out with me while I was spinning on tt.fm probably knows it by heart).  Not that they're related at all (they aren't!).  I just thought it was funny that the song titles make them sound like they are.

Me, now:  Trans Am, Futureworld -- I have very pleasant memories of seeing them several times in the 90s after this release, and they would bookend the concert with synthpop that would gradually morph into their more guitar-oriented indie music, and towards the end of the concert, would morph back into Kraftwerkian electronica, and it was such a unique, yet totally Trans-Am-ish experience, that I will probably take this memory to my grave.
