Frog – 1000 Variations on the Same Song
In many ways, writing about music is a privilege. For one thing, you get an endless supply of new albums for free before the rest of the world gets to hear them.

For one thing, criticising music becomes habitual; it changes the way you listen. Every time you hear a great new song, a part of your subconscious begins to file it away for the end-of-year list or formulate new and interesting ways to describe its guitar sound.

I started writing seriously about music around the time Frog were piecing together their self-titled debut, which came out on American indie label Monkfish in 2013.

1989 single by Public Enemy
"Fight the Power" is a song by American hip hop group Public Enemy, released as a single in the summer of 1989 on Motown Records. It was conceived at the request of film director Spike Lee, who sought a musical theme for his 1989 film Do the Right Thing. First issued on the film's 1989 soundtrack, the extended version was featured on Public Enemy's third studio album Fear of a Black Planet (1990).
"Fight the Power" incorporates various samples and allusions to African-American culture, including civil rights exhortations, black church services, and the music of James Brown. Spike Lee also directed a music video in Brooklyn featuring a political rally of "a thousand" black youth, with appearances by Lee and the Public Enemy members (Chuck D, Flavor Flav, Terminator X), uniformed Fruit of Islam men, and signs of historic black figures such as Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X.[2][3]
As a single, "Fight the Power" reached number one on Hot Rap Singles and number 20 on the Hot R&B Singles. It was named the best single of 1989 by The Village Voice in their Pazz & Jop critics' poll. It has become Public Enemy's best-known song and has re
