Released in 1988 on Jello Biafra's Alternative Tentacles label, Television is a searing, politically charged 12" from The Beatnigs — the San Francisco collective featuring Michael Franti (later of Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy and Spearhead) and Rono Tse. Fusing industrial noise, hip hop rhythms, and incendiary spoken word, the track is a blistering critique of mass media and consumer culture that sounds as urgent today as it did in 1988. A landmark of the industrial hip hop underground and a key release on Alternative Tentacles.
