Nutopia

Meg Lee Chin's song Nutopia (which I got as part of the huge bittorrent file published by the SXSW festival organizers in 2005) is one of those songs that I don't listen to very often any more [Let's just say it went through a period of "high rotation" when Eliel first discovered it--Ed.], but every time I do, I am blown away by how much it captures the current state of affairs for "my generation"

When you open with these lines:

I saw the best minds of my generation
running on empty
Superglued to the TV
Dreaming of prosperity
talking incessantly
saying nothing

It's hard to not get a good idea of where she stands on commercial culture. One of my favorite lines skewering the gliterati is this one:

Flashing memberships to clubs so exclusive
nobody belongs

If you can stand industrial music, this one's worth a listen.
