Daisy Chain Fields is an ambitious escalation of Rodrigo’s activism in this sphere, which has paralleled her chart-topping success after debuting as a teenager with her LP “Sour” in 2021. The festival — with similarly-aligned acts including Chappell Roan, Doechii, Bikini Kill, Katseye and others — will be a globally-prominent cultural event, underlining the urgency for reproductive and women’s rights work amid the current right-wing backlash. It raises funds to benefit 10 like-minded advocacy groups, and intertwines her music career and women’s rights advocacy in ways few pop artists at her scale are attempting.

“We are ecstatic to have Olivia supporting our work, not only financially, but using her voice and reach to shine a light on these urgent issues,” said Nancy Northup, president and chief executive of the Center for Reproductive Rights, which challenged abortion bans in 11 states, and filed the first lawsuit on behalf of women denied abortions in 50 years. “Women are continuing to suffer under these bans, and that won’t stop until abortion is federally protected once again. Her support will help us continue filing lawsuits and advocating for laws that expand reproductive rights, both in the U.S. and globally.”

I hope that our few remaining friends Give up on trying to save us I hope we come up with a fail-safe plot To piss off the dumb few that forgave us

I hope the fences we mended Fall down beneath their own weight And I hope we hang on past the last exit I hope it's already too late

And I hope the junkyard a few blocks from here Someday burns down And I hope the rising black smoke carries me far away And I never come back to this town again

In my life, I hope I lie And tell everyone you were a good wife And I hope you die I hope we both die

I hope I cut myself shaving tomorrow I hope it bleeds all day long Our friends say it's darkest before the sun rises We're pretty sure they're all wrong

I hope it stays dark forever I hope the worst isn't over And I hope you blink before I do I hope I never get sober

And I hope when you think of me years down the line You can't find one good thing to say And I'd hope that if I found the strength to walk out You'd stay the hell out of my way

I am drowning There is no sign of land You are coming down with me Hand in unlovable hand And I hope you die I hope we both die

From the album Tinderbox. I love every single track on it, her vocals and lyrics, the guitars by John Caruthers, my friend at the time who got me into Siouxies music...

Youtube here.

Released on a reissue of 'Take A Picture' and later on '25 Demos' in 2001. The latter is 'a collection of various demo recordings from the 1960s & 1970s. Discogs attributes this song to 1972.

Guryan was mostly a songwriter — first in jazz, then in pop music — apparently due to a disliking for performing and singing. She released just one album as an artist, 'Take a Picture' in 1968, and never toured "having been married to a jazz musician and having seen too much – performing required an agent, and a manager and a lawyer and a booking person and... you got owned by these people – they told you where to go, how to look, how to dress, what to say, and I didn't want that!"

Single video here.

Some highlights:

• ‘Fantastic Cat’
• ‘1.666666’
• ‘Black... White’ (which feels like a cover of some sixties French song, but apparently isn't)

Aside from the Ninj/Laswell track, Material and Automaton are both aliases of Laswell. Sly & Robbie's 'Return to the Bass and Trouble' was likely produced by Laswell for this compilation, as it's present nowhere else but on much later compilations.

Tabla Beat Science was a group of Zakir Hussain on tablas, Bill Laswell on bass, Ustad Sultan Khan on sarangi, Karsh Kale on drums, and DJ Disk on turntables. Trilok Gurtu and Talvin Singh were involved in the 'Tala Matrix' album. Ejigayehu Shibabaw (aka Gigi), who was Laswell's wife at the time, performed some songs.

Full concert here.
