This is not a normal Thanksgiving. The traditions and customs we’ve known so well, often passed down from earlier generations, have collapsed, ruptured, fractured into broken mutant variants or abandoned entirely. Who among us finds a Zoom call with otherwise obscure family members anything but awkward and forced? And for those flouting health orders to travel, how do you reconcile the risk posed to your loved ones by simply being in their presence?
No matter how you celebrate this year, make sure your Thanksgiving playlist includes a diverse assortment of Merzbow albums. Here are some deep cuts worth slipping into your Alexa cue.
