BFD's attempt to align themselves with that struggle - with a nod to Rosie the Riveter. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBlue 4 U - On mass media's ability to manufacture personal disquiet and a desire to escape - \"affectionate propaganda\" becoming suffocating, answered with open minds and open hearts. Written well before algorithms and AI. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHesitate - The band's attempt at a Chic-style arrangement, about putting things off until \"mañana.\" \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRain Song - A celebration of Edinburgh's micro-climate, four seasons in a day, and one of the album's few strictly narrative lyrics, inspired by August Darnell and film noir. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWild Jazz Summers - Title lifted from a Tennessee Williams biography. An attempt at West Side Story meets beat poetry, with a Hammond B organ outro. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBFD - In their later days, the band closed live sets with this percussion-heavy number, breaking the fourth wall in a manner indebted to the Sun Ra Arkestra. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGet Off Your Ass And Jam - A loose, live take on the Funkadelic tune, capturing the band's earliest iteration - recorded at their first ever hometown gig.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003estreet date 10\/16\/2026\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45212138078408,"sku":"5050580867147","price":64.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0628\/1337\/2616\/files\/4542023-3713487.jpg?v=1789164688","url":"https:\/\/1234gorecords.shop\/en-ca\/products\/5050580867147","provider":"1-2-3-4 Go!
