Cut from Slaught by Endless Idiot
I just can't do anything musical without the Tories getting involved. More than anger, outrage etc., I feel sheer disbelief at the thought that so many of us keep voting for them. And it's hilarious that Tory voters think of themselves as patriots - as if selling and siphoning off the assets of a country to overseas owners, chancers and cronies, and plundering the public purse to enrich the wealthy, and running down the public services we all need, and trashing parts of the economy where we are genuinely world class (the BBC and music springs to mind) is somehow "the patriotic thing to do".
If this is you, this is for you. I think I managed to stay polite.
The music here is mainly guitars. I didn't think it at the time, but listening back I can hear an influence from Robert Wyatt's Rock Bottom in the instrumental section. I'm very happy about that - it's one of my favourite albums.

Lyrics
Cut on a Monday, done by stealth
Cut on a Tuesday, bad for health
Cut on a Wednesday, typical blues
Cut on a Thursday, bury the news
Cut on a Friday, there is no more
Too much food could spoil the poor
Turn off the heat and sit in the dark
While they cut on a Saturday, sell off the park
Cut the music, cut the art
Seize the class and cut out its heart
Cut on a Sunday to punish your sin
You deserve what you got if you voted them in

Endless Idiot is a one-faced musical mash exploring different styles and going where the fancy takes. So far the fancy has led to synthwave, post-punk, hauntology, dark folk, minimalism, field recordings, and experimental and orchestral writing. DIY wherever possible, Endless Idiot has fronted or contributed to a fair few bands over the years, most recently punk outfit Who Killed Nancy Johnson?
