Galaxie 500 - Listen, The Snow Is Falling (Yoko Ono cover)

Here’s Robert Christgau’s presciently trenchant review of 1990’s This Is Our Music:

Look, all you young white people, I know fate has dealt you a shitty hand. Rent stabilization is a joke, safe sex isn’t a joke, pollutants can really get you down, and forget the economy. Not to mention the decline of civility on our city streets. So if you just want to sit around and mope about it to each other, we understand. But if you’re looking for a helping hand, you’re going to have to reach out a little yourselves—that’s just human nature. Show some get-up-and-go, crack a few jokes, like on the first song. As my grandpa used to say: “Laugh and the world laughs with you/Weep and you weep alone.”
