Ears cannot deal with this, but that is the point. Flower Power had tendrils crushed. It worked in many cases, and I’m not for armed insurrection because will get you killed faster. I’m for art and music. Straight up just taking it to the system. There is a reason fascists hate free art.

Mohsen Namjoo is called the Bob Dylan of Iran. Kiosk was a local Iranian band, as well.

Been a few things coming out – not straight of Iran, 2009 made a lot of expats – almost as many as 1979 did. In a way, the most transgressive thing in Iran is still classical Persian music. It’s like being a revered dissident ayatollah. They can’t outright kill you.

I can do the gamut, music is a passion [been drumming since I dug out the pots and pans as a kid]. Just tryin’ to guage it all.

Cascadia!

It’s not all about sports, but I want to write something about my fascination with soccer as we call it, and sports. As it gets into politics and regional pride- as it does in Europe. Well, they are overselling it, there’s no hooligans, but it’s like I can say the Sounders and Whitecaps are shit, but don’t you even dare say that about them. They’re still family.

Yay for rambling, and I really do have two flags, stickers and don’t want to hawk here, but I can give links for official swag and how you can protect the endagered Tree Octopus.

Political Parties – The Ghost In The Machine

And the alternative is what? I could have written much the same.

Weekend Music Thread – If Not For You

I came of age with overtly, unapologetically left wing political rock like Rage Against the Machine, System of a Down and transgressive anarchistic Industrial like KMFDM, Front 242 and such. Punk like the Sex Pistols, Hoi Polloi, even more radio friendly Clash rocking the casbah [to my ears it’s tame like the Ramones – and well, explain Joey Ramone and Morrissey to me. Kid Rock, Ted Nugent and even Alice Cooper I get – but coming from a Laibach fan immersed in goth and industrial fascistic irony, there are a few artists that make me say… huh? We lost the late, great Saint Neil Peart, who was a small ‘l’ libertarian, but he made it clear he was a Libéral, Canadian version. Dave Mustaine of Megadeth was so insane Metallica kicked him out early on and Alex Jones would too]. Whatever, artists don’t have to be liberal. It just keeps kicking me in the head about musicians and comedians and creativity-at-large in relation to conservative politics. It makes as much sense to me as Log Cabin Republicans, Jews for Jesus or Melania’s Be Best.

That being said, and gauging my audience, the Chad Mitchell Trio was pretty hard core subversive and still relevent in the same vein as Rage or System of a Down or KMFDM. We just express it differently now – and I’m no spring chicken, but we’re still saying the same things… fighting the same battles.

Balderdash with this nation states and major chords and being predictable.

I’m against that sort of pablum, sophistry and … boredom.
