Weekend Music Thread – Blues at Sunrise

Nobody asked, but this is ethereal wave – subgenre of Goth. And how I feel now if not often.

You Only See My Skin Color!

I think I have put out my experiences of growing up knowing racism from the “winning” side. Me and my dad still talk about it… my grandma was the most sweet and loving person… but… she would throw away a sandwich made by a colored person. She would never call you a N—— or even want you lynched. She just adored me and was born and raised in old Savannah, Georgia.

Not an excuse. In any case, I was brought up — well, it was a shock when my dad told me he used to be racist.

I’m sorry to say it’s an old story. It’s just llke I KNOW, not really, but I get it, and … I’m sorry for shitting over your own experience. I was a really poor ambassador.

As a very caucasion personage I enjoy hearing about getting an A- because you were black. Um, okay?

And then you have ADD and were smarter than skin color but the nice teachers gave you a D+ just so you pass because you didn’t care.

Not feeling you. Say more. Because there is more there.

Weekend Music Thread – Russians

I always thought this was a parody?

This was always my favorite Beatles song. Even before I knew what Communism was or Reagan.

The Spanish Civil War has been of interest to me for a while – I even had in internaltionalist brigade flag hanging above my porch door

And as tribute… don’t think Pink Floyd had no influence on us goth folks.

I have mentioned many times that Rammstein – all the band members from the mid-nineties to this day are still informed by growing up in East Germany. Learning Russian along with German, and performing in sport and the rest. They have such an interesting intersection and nuanced view of growing up in the Eastern Bloc.

My favorite Slovenian Industrial avante-garde band to which I have a passport for NSK, and whom were around to piss off Tito and everyone else. Irony is dead. Slavoj Žižek, the Slovene philosopher is a fan. Dripping sarcasm. You might recognize them from actually performing in North Korea.

You’ve listened to me, so, those are the Kinks? Like Ray Davies? Like, my parents saw them live. I’m gonna process that, as I grew up with a more Grunge version.

Paul McCartney with an Irish – okay. Did not know. I refuse the Sir part on his behalf.

I did see the Ukraine opening on SNL. Again, SNL still has its moments.

Sting was always smart, but Mr Kruschev, was Ukrainian, not Russian. Stalin was Georgian, not Russian. But, whatever. Soviet even isn’t correct, but, USSR, was complicated.

Weekend Music Thread – My Hero

Rammstein – al the band members are original, and any band member can veto a song to this day. For all the faults of East Germany, there were some values there.

When they came to Phoenix I bought tickets. Then I saw they came to Tucson. So I saw them in Tucson and virtually followed them to watch them in Phoenix. They are from the early 80s, very political. To the left of even me.

Yeah, other than being friends with Russians in High School, their English versions made the MTV still sorta a thing in the late 90’s. I link the Russian, but they do English, as well.

Nadya was in House of Cards.

Her growl is not even an effect. It’s dangerous to the vocal chords.

My favorite anarcho-syndicalist Industrial German band: we’ve got the power!

I have no idea what TATU think, but Not Gonna Get Us is Appropriate. They made waves in Russia for lesbian themes in the early 2000’s. I’m putting them down as prolly not for Putin.

» Posted By Khirad On March 1, 2022 @ 4:23 pm

Pussy Riot, always the darlings of the Kremlin, have also denounced Putin – ….again.

» Posted By Khirad On March 1, 2022 @ 4:19 pm

Soooooo, like… um…. this band is like literally from Donetsk? And yes, have condemned Russia.

I deserve points, but not too many. It is a popular group among the youths even younger than I.

West Side Story 2021: A Remarkable Story of the Power of Mindless Hate and Anger

I will admit I know of West Side story only from pastiche and third hand references – it’s so ubiquitous a trope I feel guilty nevery seeing it.

And you glossed over it, but, who has the money to go see a Broadway show? That’s the darkest tragedy of it all.

I mean, I am not uncultured, but … just ruminate over the irony of ticket prices.
