Sometimes Classified, Always Confidential, Usually [Redacted]
Similar to Renee Phoenix , this entry follows the singer across her 3 bands. Destiny Potato, Sordid Pink, and Above the Earth. I don't know why, but this Serbian singer just can't seem to keep a band together for more than one album. So, I'll break my normal pattern of two songs per rec and go to three, one for each band. The music across all three is very similar, it's prog rock, but not nearly…
Is love not all that a man can feel? No other emotion explains so much Why for king and for God he is willing to kneel Why he shudders and stammers at a lover's soft touch To throw down his life at a word from above To be gentle and nurture a family for years The reason he wakes is for nothing but love For love gives him strength and brings him to tears Anger is only a denial of sorts Held from…
There was a video on YouTube I probably watched ~2013. Back in the days where people would just put music in the background and text on the screen. The song they picked was Rage ⤻ by the band Gwyllion. Woah. I had never heard anything like this before and it sent me down a path into the world of Symphonic Metal. I wanted to find this original video again, but I couldn't track it down. I tried to…
The following is a transcribed excerpt from this video .⤻ I recommend you listen to the whole thing, but this particular portion really stuck out to me and I felt it was worth sharing. I've noted before that when it suits these narratives, they step outside the Liberal Paradigm. But if you ask them what they actually want, then the answer is something benign. Something like 'we want equal pay' or…
Inspired by this video ⤻ The world is not as it used to be. Or at least, it's not the way it used to seem. But maybe that's just because it never actually was the way it seemed to be. The way it used to be was an illusion of necessity. An agreed upon pretense. And now that we've dropped the masquerade in the name of 'progress', the reality of the world is laid bare. The world of relationships…
Bit of a different format here. I'm not much of a gamer by any metric. But I recently got my hands on Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit (2010) for the XBOX 360. First off, the game is unbelievable. Driving 350 kmh down a highway at night... Good fun. The gameplay is only enhanced by the stellar soundtrack. Tough to pick but I'll limit myself to two: Bigger Than Us - White Lies ⤻ and Cinema - Benny…
Here's something interesting. A map. Covered in information. https://www.arcgis.com/apps/mapviewer/index.html?webmap=204a59b01f4443cd96718796fd102c00 ⤻ All credit to S2 Underground ⤻, who I mentioned in a previous post. I don't know how one guy can put together so much info. From the conflict in the Middle East, to the random happenings across the USA, this map has more than you can possibly…
DO NOT READ THE RAPE GANG INQUIRY REPORT .⤻ Just don't do it, OK? Promise me. It's not worth it. Your sanity, your good will toward your fellow man, your innocence. They're not worth losing. Just remain as you were. Keep the image of Britain you had in your mind. Think about tea and crumpets. Imagine Kings and Queens and the land of Shakespeare. Do not consider how it might have changed, or worse,…
This was originally going to be a post about Perfect Blue (1997), but then I remembered how good Millennium Actress (2001) is and had to include that as well. There are only a couple of movies that I've watched more than once. I don't watch many movies to begin with. But Perfect Blue I've watched at least 3 times and once in theatres. I do have to warn you, it has some... unsettling scenes. I…
I don't have a great description for ASTRINA honestly. I guess they call this indie-pop? It's electronic (I originally typed electric... which I kinda stand by) but not like EDM style. More similar to Fazerdaze with the floaty female vocals. I get the sense that she's a dancer who someone told she has a nice voice and so she started a music career haha. You can probably see that in the music video…
