For those experiencing the desperation of drought, this piece captures that feeling in a raw, primal way.

You ever listen to Diamanda Galas?
This is deeply challenging to listen to, but brilliant. It was recorded in October 1990 at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine. It's a visceral response to the Catholic church's and society's indifference to the AIDS pandemic.

Whoa. Never heard of her or this piece. It's pretty extreme, but I guess it should be. I'm going to have to take some time when I'm in the right head space to listen to this.
I have been to St John the Divine for a bunch of concerts, and it's a truly special place.

This one is less challenging.
She's fascinating.
