What are you listening to?

I feel like a pint of strong Dwarven ale!

Got Youth Brigade with Sink with California.

 

Yep lol. Ooo nice. Got The HU again today.

 

One Of The Greatest Bands To Walk The Earth
aint ashamed

 

Got a song from Einstürzende Neubauten (Collapsing New Buildings) from 1983.

 

Got one from Twenty One Pilots.

 

Got Recharge and Juno Reactor.

 

Got Miracle of Sound featuring Peyton Parrish.

 

Sounds like Viking Metal. I still listen to Bathory now and again, even their Viking stuff. I know it's controversial (not even sure if 'controversial' is the right word to use here. Basically, it sucks! lol) A) because of the strong patriarchal element (hence, very few women in Viking Metal), and B) the often nationalistic ideals. I don't know anything about Miracle Of Sound.
EDIT: I'm not against Vikings or Viking inspired music per se, just that some bands/ people often have very scewed ideas of Vikings. "They're just misunderstood" lol

Well, I also have some metal today, it's a spot of Death Metal by Bolt Thrower.

 

I just read he's an Irish producer/ songwriter/ singer who covers a vast range of genres & styles often inspired by his favourite video games.

 

Yeah, Valhalla Calling is just one of the songs he does. He also has Game of Thrones ones too. I do listen to some Viking stuff and yeah, there's not a lot of women in that genre. However, there are folk groups like SKALD that have women in them.

Ooo nice. Got your not-so-favourite song by Mourning Ritual lol

 

He seems harmless enough. Yeah, I do like that sound and the atmosphere of the music... and the whole pagan thing is pretty cool too. I like how it respects nature (well, it worships nature but still...) as opposed to "our" fucking religion/s. Christianity reminds me of the Borg, who just want to assimilate everyone and destroy everything it can't assimilate.
Yeah there are a few but I meant in the Viking metal genre. I know of one female-fronted Viking metal band but apparently she's not allowed to participate in the songwriting. In other words: she's got fuck all say in the band (except sing the lyrics given to her).
Uuuh, you're lucky you're in Australia right now, haha

Listening to NoRMAhl

 

Yeah. So do I. I mean most pagan things are Earth-based, so it's basically nature worship. Pretty much, it's why there are old churches that have Green Man motifs. Ok. Definitely, although there are people here who want to screw us over.

Listening to The Pierces.

 

Good, good! Yeah, that's basically what it is. "Nature, and natural phenomenons were considered divine and could be worshipped as natural deities or manifestations of the Viking gods. If a tornado or hurricane felled trees in the forest, it was said that the gods Odin or Thor had ridden through the area."
Wiccan (the Green Man motifs) another form of paganism, probably more peaceful than the Vikings but yeah, they did/ do all respect nature. It's an interesting topic.
Well you're lucky both ways I actually meant it the other way, as in: uuuh... you're so lucky you're in Australia (where I can't get to you), in response to our ongoing joke with that song, haha

I've got Juno Reactor again, this time with a shortened version of that song. I really like that Indian singing that kicks in at 2:08. I used to sometimes listen to the Indian radio station cos they had lots of that kinds of singing.

 

Yep, pretty much. Definitely. That too LOL . Luckily, I didn't get it today.

Ooo nice. Got a cover of an old Irish song by Christy Moore instead.

 

LOL You better believe it
Yeah, nice song. It's relaxing.

Got some O.H.L.

 

Yep . Yeah, but got a more upbeat song today.

My favourite Savage Garden song.

 

I've also got something more upbeat today. I have Siekiera from Poland, and I have them in 2 variations. The first song is from their punk/hardcore period, and the second one is from their coldwave/post-punk phase. They later changed their style again and played acoustic/folk/ballad/poetry kinda stuff. I haven't heard any of their acoustic stuff though.

 

Nice stuff. Got the latest episode of the ANews podcast.

ANews Podcast 361 – 4.26.24 – Anews podcast

 

I've got Shpongle today. They make some pretty outlandish music.


EDIT: Here's one of their live performances:

 

Ooo interesting. Got The Score today and this is the first time I've heard their stuff.
