This is the world in which we live.

Yesterday, as is too often the case in my terrible, tortured life, I was distracted and discomforted when Sponge’s 1994 alternative hit “Plowed” once again occupied space in my mind unbidden and refused to vacate no matter how many attempts I made at ejection. Even the usual surefire method for getting a tune out of your head failed to remove it. I was discussing this torture with someone who expressed surprise, since there’s not even a hook to the song, but I explained that what had stuck with me was the line “in a world of human wreckage,” which I suddenly understood to be the best description of Twitter ever invented. So from now on when Sponge’s 1994 alternative hit “Plowed” gets stuck in my head, which, as mentioned, occurs with disturbing frequency, it will remind me of Twitter, which will make things even worse. Anyway, here’s music that is not Sponge’s 1994 alternative hit “Plowed.” It is instead an ambient reconstruction of music by Portland’s Beacon Sound Choir. Enjoy.
