This Week with David Rovics

Talking AI Music with me and Chris on the Labor Heritage Power Hour

The Labor Heritage Power Hour is a weekly radio show on WPFW in Washington, DC, as well as a podcast. Most of the hour consists of Chris Garlock and I diving deep into the weeds of AI music generation and the future of humanity. It was a great interview to begin with, but then the way the songs were edited in for the final version makes it even better.

YouTube, aka The Biggest Platform on Earth, Has Deleted All My Albums

The latest chapter in the ongoing saga of David's journey down the corporate Memory Hole.

"Rage Bait"

The Oxford English Dictionary announced yesterday that their word or phrase of the year for 2025 is "rage bait." Here's a song about it from Ai Tsuno.

Gaza Vigil Jingle

It's a sunny forecast for the rest of the weekend in Portland, Oregon. Our weekly neighborhood vigil for Gaza is happening Sunday at noon, and I wrote a jingle for it.

"They Deleted David Rovics"

When YouTube Music deleted all of my albums from their platform the other day because my very existence apparently violates their terms of service, Ai Tsuno wrote a fairly blistering song about 1984/2025.

Class War Zone: a guided tour

Ai Tsuno presents a guided tour to our album, Class War Zone, which drops on music streaming platforms on December 4th. Class War Zone consists of very recently-penned and tremendously catchy songs about things like the ongoing Starbucks workers strike, the Jeffrey Epstein files, the cost-of-living crisis, the campaign to bring the killers of Hind Rajab and her family to the ICC, and the nonexistent ceasefire in Gaza.

Gaza Riviera GUIDED TOUR

A guided tour of Ai Tsuno's album, Gaza Riviera, which drops on all the music streaming platforms on Thanksgiving Day (November 27th).

David Rovics on Gorilla Radio

I had another scintillating conversation with Gorilla Radio host Chris Cook today.  He interviews me for the last half of the hour.  Mostly we talked about AI...  (The first half of his show, interviewing another pro-Palestinian guy named David, was also very good.)

Common Sense Songs interview

Kamala and I were guests for the better part of 2 hours on Graham Dean's Common Sense Songs show on Berkshire Community Radio a few days ago in Great Barrington, Massachusetts, along with our good friend, Massachusetts-based singer/songwriter Ben Grosscup. The live talk and music starts about 25 minutes in.

Interview with David Rovics on Unbound

Sam and Amal are the hosts of a show on WUSB community radio in Stony Brook, New York called Unbound:  the arts & culture of Palestine.  They interviewed me for a very enjoyable hour the other day, in advance of the show we'll be doing on Long Island on October 26th!
