Song Review: Carsie Blanton - “Ugly, Nasty Commie Bitch”
Carsie Blanton gets a lot off her chest in the 55 seconds of “Ugly, Nasty Commie Bitch.”
The homemade, non-album track is a self-deprecating, profane-as-fuck talkin’ blues, Dylanesque in structure, with the title appearing at the end of five of the six verses, save for this one:
I know I am but what are you?/some fascist, bootlick Nazi tool/a whiny boy with a tiny dick/or a dumbfuck, redneck, backward hick?
A potent hypocrisy exposer, “Ugly, Nasty Commie Bitch” is just the song to make pocket-Constitution-carryin’, Q-believin’ cult members scream for a music ban in the name of the First Amendment.
Funny!

RICH PEOPLE by CARSIE BLANTON - Official Live Video
Rich People is a song after my heart. It bashes greedy, controlling wealthy special interests.
Unfortunately, Rich People did not make Carsie Blanton rich. Not even a little.

Indie Music Rec: Carsie Blanton
I wanted to promote an independent musician I'm a fan of, so here's a music rec post!
tl;dr:
Music: Folk, country, punk, maybe pop with some songs if you squint? Some love songs, some protest songs. Tempo varies wildly based on song. Definitely catchy. Some are sing alongs.
Vibes: Leftist, anti-capitalist, clearly channels her rage at the system into much of her music. Funny. Genuine. Passionate. She might just be on tumblr now actually it looks like the url is taken and probably actually by her but not used since 2018
Identity: From the American South, Jewish, Millennial-ish. Doesn't really center her own identity or story in most of her music.
Carsie Blanton... where do I even start in recommending her?
There's how she's about as far left as my own corner of tumblr tends to be. (I swear I heard her describe herself as politically "somewhere between Bernie Sanders and Karl Marx" but now I can't find the quote. It sounds about right, though.) How she refers to herself as "socialist" unabashedly and rails against the excesses of capitalism. How one of her songs has the lyric "you're just a Democrat, I'm a revolutionary".
How she has a song inspired by her response to the Charlottesville rally, and how the rally hit home for her, as she grew up in central Virginia as one of the only Jewish kids around.
How her songs channel her leftist rage, advocate protest, tear apart the system we're living in.
But importantly, she's not just writing protest songs, she's writing catchy protest songs that are genuinely quality pieces of music to boot.
When I saw her in concert a couple months ago, she mentioned how Dolly Parton's "9 to 5" is great because it's about as far left as you can get while still being a catchy pop song, and I think Carsie Blanton's own music fits that pretty well too.
I posted not too long ago about how my mom saw her posting something pro-Palestine and thought she was going too far because of it. I looked up the post in question; it had the caption "Free Palestine" along with some informative text that wouldn't look out of place in a tumblr post. Nothing radical, nothing anti-Israel. Just support for the Palestinian people. And while that might cost her some fans in and of itself--I think my mom's lost some interest in her because of it--I think it's a good example of how her leftism isn't just an act, or deployed just when it's popular. She speaks out for what's right, regardless of what the rest of the world thinks.
Now, that's enough of an introduction, I think. So I'll leave you with some examples of her music, and a quick blurb about each song I'm linking.
This is the one in response to Charlottesville, and it's the sort of fast-paced, angry song you might expect:
youtube
This one's also very anti-capitalist but a bit slower and more mellow, though that's not to say it won't get stuck in your head fast:
youtube
This is the one that first got her on my parents' radar, a fitting tribute to beloved country artist John Prine:
youtube
Apparently this one's big on Tiktok? I believe it, it's got the fast pacing and witty lyrics for that crowd. (Age-restricted because it uses the word "bitch" a lot, I imagine. Title is "Ugly Nasty Commie Bitch".)
youtube
This is the one with the lyrics I quoted above, despite being not generally a political song, just a fun silly listen:
youtube
Not quite as upbeat as the title might make it seem, but very fitting vibe for the current moment given, y'know, everything:
youtube
Are you an American with deeply divided feelings about what that means given your place of privilege in the world but being stuck in a system that keeps causing harm? Carsie Blanton feels that too:
youtube
Another slower, mellow one, and not political this time, but this one's gotten stuck in my head a few times lately:
youtube
And finally, a sing-along that seems like the perfect way to wrap things up:
youtube

There ain't nothin more criminal than kindness
There ain't nothin more valuable than blindness
They’ll make anyone a martyr who'll remind us
Everybody's got a right to be free
Be good to the people
Be good to the people
Be good to the people you love
And love everybody alive

Dr. Dog first album in six years comes out this summer - WXPN
Philly favorites Dr. Dog today announced a new album, their first in six years, and with it comes a jaunty new song, “Talk Is Cheap.” The band teased their return last month with “Still Can’t Believe,” a mellow and reflective fireside number led by singer-guitarist and co-songwriter Scott McMicken; on the new song, bassist Toby […]

Song Review: Carsie Blanton - “Hope”
Mostly an in-the-moment musical provocateur, Carsie Blanton spends a few minutes as a wistful throwback on “Hope.”
Single No. 4 from After the Revolution sounds like a mid-20th-century remake with closed chords on electric guitar and a small string section creating the aural allusion of the Great American Songbook as Blonton sings:
Some may say it’s better not to dream/sometimes I can see just what they mean/on a very lonely day/I’ll put my foolish dreams away/face the world exactly as it seems
Sweet but not sticky; ernest but not overly emotive, “Hope” is something lovers of all music can use - and not only at the dawn of a new year. Which is to say the song is timeless.
After the Revolution is due March 21; Read Sound Bites’ previous coverage here.
