In case anybody is wondering about this admittedly but deliberately strange post…

A little humor here for those who think we cannot move in and out of “pariah” mode with facility.

It is also to put it in the face of people who appear on Red Ice or White Voice and continue to blame hippies “for smokng pot and going to Woodstock”

But what can you expect of Angelo John Ganucci? Tony Robbins taught him all he needs to know.

And what can you expect in the way of empathy from feminists/feminazis?

“Hippies” were supposed to go to war out of sheer custom and habit of war (having nothing to do with defending our people).

They can’t be bothered to note that this movement was over when the Viet Nam war was over.

Coincidence? And should they have gone to Viet Nam instead of Woodstock?

Idiot.

Another reason for mentioning that is because defending hippies and the context of their seeking the basic levels of Actualization as opposed to Feminists (like Yeager was/is), who sought the top of its “hierarchy”, and the Jewish (and right wing) misconstrual of the hippies is just one of the original ideas that Yeager says that I don’t have

No Hits, No Problem: Captain Beefheart’s Major Label Run

March 31, 2015

In 1970, Warner Bros. Records had an unusual philosophy: they’d sign artists and, instead of wanting a hit single immediately, they’d develop them over several albums. This way, James Taylor, Joni Mitchell, Little Feat, and Randy Newman got big career boosts. They also took a chance on Captain Beefheart, and although neither a hit single nor a hit album resulted, some very interesting music did.

If you smile at me, I will understand
‘Cause that is something everybody everywhere does
In the same language

I can see by your coat, my friend
You’re from the other side
There’s just one thing I got to know
Can you tell me please, who won the war ?

Say, can I have some of your purple berries?
Yes, I’ve been eating them for six or seven weeks now
Haven’t got sick once
Probably keep us both alive

Wooden ships on the water, very free and easy
Easy, you know the way it’s supposed to be
Silver people on the shoreline, let us be
Talkin’ ‘bout very free and easy

Horror grips us as we watch you die
All we can do is echo your anguished cries
Stare as all human feelings die
We are leaving, you don’t need us

Go, take your sister then, by the hand
Lead her away from this foreign land
Far away, where we might laugh again
We are leaving, you don’t need us

And it’s a fair wind blowin’ warm
Out of the south over my shoulder
Guess I’ll set a course and go

Legendary Artist David Bowie Dies at 69

David Bowie has died after a battle with cancer, his representative confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter.

“David Bowie died peacefully today surrounded by his family after a courageous 18 month battle with cancer. While many of you will share in this loss, we ask that you respect the family’s privacy during their time of grief,” read a statement posted on the artist’s official social media accounts.

The influential singer-songwriter and producer dabbled in glam rock, art rock, soul, hard rock, dance pop, punk and electronica during his eclectic 40-plus-year career.

Bowie’s artistic breakthrough came with 1972’s The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars….

Bowie’s two best albums, both are completely good - every song:

Diamond Dogs is thematized by Orwell’s 1984 and captures with genius the alien, dehumanizing mood of said negative utopia:
Diamond Dogs

Ziggy Stardust is full of upstart pop-rock energy:

Ozark Mountain Daredevils: “It’ll shine when it shines”...compare that to this lifestyle song. Why is it that I don’t want to live with blacks?

It’ll Shine When It Shines - Ozark Mountain Daredevils:

The old cat on the roof
He could stand a little push
Cause he’s got nine long lives to live

But like my Mama said
You only live till your dead
And you got to give and give and give

Theres a pebble in a pond
Going on and on
Making waves and tides and ripples and rain
Theres a leaf in the wind
That don’t no where to end
Chasing days and waves and wishes and dreams

Seems like everyone is out, looking for the sun
Singing rain and pain on he who hesitates
But it’ll shine when it shines
You might think I’m wasting time
But I’m just a good old boy that’s learned to wait

Wipperwil’s in the Dawn
Pretty soon he’ll be gone
But he’s got one good song to sing
But like my Daddy said
It’s in your heart not your head
And you’ve got to sing and sing and sing

Theres a window in the wall
Looking out on it all
Leavin’ fears and tears and troubles along
Theres a fire in the stove
Keeping out the cold
Warming wine and winters and babies and homes

Seems like everyone is out looking for the sun
Singing rain and pain on he who hesitates
But it’ll shine when it shines
You might think I’m waisting time
But I’m just a good old boy thats learned to wait
Yes i’m just a good old boy thats learned to wait.

George Martin (90) known as “the fifth Beatle” for his work in shaping the band that became one of the world’s most influential music forces. Martin was considered the most successful music producer ever, cited in the Guinness Book of Records for having more than 50 No. 1 hit records over 50 years in the US and Britain alone. He helped to score, arrange, and produce many of the band’s biggest hits, including “I Wanna Hold Your Hand,” “A Day in the Life,” “Yesterday,” “Eleanor Rigby,” and “Love Me Do.” Martin was producer, collaborator, and mentor to Beatles John Lennon, George Harrison, Paul McCartney, and Ringo Starr. He died on March 8, 2016.

That Britain didn’t enter the Vietnam war in ‘66 has been attributed to the sage words of Enoch Powell having dissuaded Wilson from behaving like a good little satellite controller at the behest of LBJ. “The greatest service I have performed for my country, if it be so”-Powell. Yes, it was. He also spared us the prospect of hearing something like Caravan’s delightful “Ride” to the accompaniment of Westland Scout blades, against a backdrop of napalm and Agent Orange in later “we won it really, sort of” Hollywood movies.

Taki’s Mag, “Good Riddance to Rolling Stone Magazine”, 23 Oct 2017, by Tim Sommer.

Good article.

But for me, the truth is that I never could read the magazine, largely for the reasons cited in this article - Rolling Stone was unbearably off the mark in its taste and liberal politics - politics so liberal that it even led the magazine from its beat, rock n’ roll, into features of rap and hip hop artists: sorry, not interested, doesn’t represent my culture, my soundtrack.


36

Posted by mancinblack on Sat, 04 Nov 2017 13:27 | #

Yeah, Rolling Stone was quite big on Punk too, a genre I detested even though I had no idea of how kosher it was, or exactly what had inspired many of its performers until I read this..

Posted by DanielS on Sat, 04 Nov 2017 13:57 | #

Thanks Mancinblack. If I was the trendy sort, punk should have been my style when I was still a fairly young teenager, but I never could identify with it - I did not feel it corresponding with my needs and the means to channel my anxiety - as I began to hear the echoes which you confirm, why it is that I could not identify with it has become more and more clear.

As an echo chamber, it had similar intensity that the rock music and culture before had at its disposal, but with a singularity of expression and a rather arbitrary rebellion - anarchy (boring at best, a Jewish boondoggle more like - an effort to muck up European people’s systemic homeostasis, their being)

“Where once were men but now are sheep
- a fiction and far cry,
From planet Earth’s proud animal
- who would be you and I
Alas, our forebears drank the cup of poisoned alibi
And made excuses far and wide,
And made God in the sky.

This boogaloo’s now round the world
- bad trips for everyone.
No more the man of paradise
Or the Celt of Albion
They queue like burning moths to spread
- the all time viscous lie
You Christians destroyed our tribe
- I’ll fight you till I die….”

“The Spirit Lives” - Roy Harper

That’s a really cool song indeed, Mancinblack. I never heard that one - got to love the raw edge of Harper’s performance style as well - nice to add that one to the good list of Christmas jeer.

...along with the perennial, fine - but played enough - Christmas song, I Believe in Father Christmas, performed and co-written by the late Greg Lake:

Emerson, Lake & Palmer – I Believe In Father Christmas Lyrics
They said there’ll be snow at christmas
They said there’ll be peace on earth
But instead it just kept on raining
A veil of tears for the virgin’s birth
I remember one christmas morning
A winters light and a distant choir
And the peal of a bell and that christmas tree smell
And their eyes full of tinsel and fire

They sold me a dream of christmas
They sold me a silent night
And they told me a fairy story
‘till I believed in the israelite
And I believed in father christmas
And I looked at the sky with excited eyes
‘till I woke with a yawn in the first light of dawn
And I saw him and through his disguise

I wish you a hopeful christmas
I wish you a brave new year
All anguish pain and sadness
Leave your heart and let your road be clear
They said there’ll be snow at christmas
They said there’ll be peace on earth
Hallelujah noel be it heaven or hell
The christmas you get you deserve

Songwriters: GREG LAKE, PETER JOHN SINFIELD, SERGE PROKOFIEFF
I Believe In Father Christmas lyrics © MUSIC SALES CORPORATION

I Believe in Father Christmas” is a song by English musician Greg Lake with lyrics by Peter Sinfield.

The instrumental riff between verses comes from the “Troika” portion of Sergei Prokofiev’s Lieutenant Kijé Suite, written for the 1934 Soviet film Lieutenant Kijé;[4] this was added at the suggestion of Keith Emerson (an adaptation of the same song was used on Emerson’s later Christmas album). Sinfield described the song as “a picture-postcard Christmas, with morbid edges.”[5]

I hadn’t realized that ELP based (perhaps a nice way of saying ripped-off) the music for it’s song “Knife’s Edge” on their first album - the eponymous ELP - from this classical piece: Kubelik/Janacek Sinfonietta 1st and 2nd movements.

Nevertheless, ELP’s rendition works quite well, added lyrics too:

Emerson, Lake & Palmer – Knife Edge Lyrics

Just a step cried the sad man
Take a look down at the madman
Theatre kings on silver wings
Fly beyond reason
From the flight of the seagull
Come the spread claws of the eagle
Only fear breaks the silence
As we all kneel pray for guidance

Tread the road cross the abyss
Take a look down at the madness
On the streets of the city
Only spectres still have pity
Patient queues for the gallows
Sing the praises of the hallowed
Our machines feed the furnace
If they take us they will burn us

Will you still know who you are
When you come to who you are

When the flames have their season
Will you hold to your reason
Loaded down with your talents
Can you still keep your balance
Can you live on a knife-edge

“Heilung” are a Danish trio who’s lyrics include original texts from rune stones, inscriptions from Viking artifacts, Sami shamanism and extracts or interpretations of poems depicting historical events. Their intention is to connect their audience with the   pre-Christian past.

Heilung (& friends) made their first public appearance at Castlefest (held at Castle Keukenhof, Lisse, in the Netherlands) in 2017. Praised by critics, their fan base is growing very quickly, which given their mission statement has to be a good thing.

(lol) My first wife loved that Beefheart song and when she died a couple of years ago, my daughter from that relationship chose “Wild Horses” to be played at her funeral. With that in mind, my advice would be to never choose the blonde as it might be a case of “The Bluest Blues”..

A woman who loves Beefheart? She was a rare gem to allow for that degree of humanity (i.e., to the point of being a bit weird) and appreciation of creativity in men. My guess is that this kind of woman is crucial to authentic White male being.

Whereas the typical puerile girl would say, Captain Beefheart? eeew no! eew.

Contemporary prog from Big Big Train. The first verse from this song “A Boy in Darkness” is taken from a Sub Commissioner’s report of 1842 on the conditions of children and young people employed in the collieries. In this instance Brookbottom Colliery, Heanor, Derbyshire.
“His name is Godfrey Fletcher
Eleven years old
He worked these pits for nearly three years
Does not know the alphabet
Cannot read in the least”

“The Nightmarers should be deported. That’s actually the humane option, as one could argue that the Nightmarers should be treated like an invading army ; the military should be sent after them. If the Nightmarers surrender, put them in POW camps until the immigration war is won, and then repatriate them to their nations of origin. If they resist, treat them as you would any resisting military enemy - destroy the opposing force. Have the army gun them down”-EGI NOTES

I do have a special fondness for the psychedelic rock, hard or otherwise, of the hippie-freak era - both because it was creative as all get out and because, as you know, I believe that it was a manifold expression of a right below rights for male being (as opposed to draft into a foolish war). Thus, I see it as an important epoch to translate properly.

One of the expressions of that manifold quest for being was that, at least by singing in codes, or even rather plainly about drugs, ill advised as that may have been if suggested as a way of life, it did give us a break from hearing guys singing desperately about women all the time, upping the competition so stressfully, to the point of self destruction.

That was especially grating when feminism started to reach an overwhelming and screeching crescendo as it did after the war was over…

As I said, in agreement with you, I didn’t relate to the punk thing - I felt unfinished and unarticulated business in the hippie project, which is largely why I could not get with and relate to punk and to some of the other subsequent musical/cultural epochs. Punk anarchy, a form of liberalism, was not modeling White male being, only loud wails.

Nevertheless, I’d hate for people to get the impression that I think that the music of yesteryear was the only good music and better than today’s…

I do like the characteristic intense music and relaxed style of grunge but its would-be basis seems to be rather a disoriented and futile epoch for having passed through the anarchy and indifference of the prior two decades.

There’s lots of great music, of course, all around, today, in the decades in between, and centuries before…

I just know this stuff from my music addict days and so I try to call some attention for those who may not be aware of some of the great stuff that was happening then too - that’s all we had for some semblance of rebellious expression against the mainstream media back in the 70’s and 80’s…and even then, you usually had to change the words in your head - to your protest - because the musicians were often sickeningly liberal.

I’m open to new tunes but don’t make a habit of following music as I did, so I’m not as apt to pass on new stuff, though it doesn’t mean I don’t like it. It’s just that interactive media provides some of that release of expression and protest that simply wasn’t available in any non- obsequious liberal form after the Vietnam war was over.

  Nor WOULD I want people to think I am a pacifist. I am against stupid wars, like that, war as custom, habit and tradition   ...wasted lives.

Talk about needing to chill-out from sheer anarchic pursuit of individual actualization and balance off into the stabilization of being, routine/and sacrament, social being, in midtdasein. ...Layne Staley

Nevertheless, grunge songs like Would and Damn That River do display that warrior capacity that I look for in music that I identify with.

Though the later Genesis can rightfully be criticized as soft and repugnantly pop in some cuts, other cuts were decent and should not be written off so easily.

No.  Title Length

1.  “No Son of Mine”  6:39
2.  “Jesus He Knows Me”  4:16
3.  “Driving the Last Spike”  10:08

4.  “I Can’t Dance”  4:01
5.  “Never a Time”  3:50
6.  “Dreaming While You Sleep”  7:16
7.  “Tell Me Why”  4:58
8.  The rest of the disk

Personnel

  Tony Banks – keyboards
  Phil Collins – drums, percussion, vocals, drum machines
  Mike Rutherford – guitars, bass guitar

Furthermore, the early Genesis could be overly soft too, while being tediously “avant-garde” ...

Although “Selling England by the Pound”, in particular, is consistently good if one is in the mood for its atmosphere.

     

Side one
No.  Title Length
1.  “Dancing with the Moonlit Knight”  8:02
2.  “I Know What I Like (In Your Wardrobe)”  4:03
3.  “Firth of Fifth”  9:36
4.  “More Fool Me[c]”  3:10
Side two
No.  Title Length
1.  “The Battle of Epping Forest”  11:43
2.  “After the Ordeal”  4:07
3.  “The Cinema Show[d]”  11:10
4.  “Aisle of Plenty”  1:30

Personnel

Genesis
 
  Peter Gabriel – vocals, flute, oboe, percussion
  Tony Banks – keyboards, Hammond organ, piano, ARP Pro Soloist synthesizer, Mellotron, 12-string guitar
  Steve Hackett – electric guitar, nylon guitar
  Michael Rutherford – 12-string guitar, bass, electric sitar
  Phil Collins – drums, assorted percussion, lead vocals on “More Fool Me”, backing vocals

John Wetton (actually, this band and eponymous album, U.K., has Allan Holdsworth in it as well; Wetton on bass and vocals; Holdsworth on guitar - even Zappa liked Holdsworth and Zappa didn’t like anybody).

Allan Holdsworth’s finest work was probably with “Gong”

For all my talk about the significance of hippies being their manifold quest for White male Being - viz. midtdasein (as opposed to the irresponsible sacrifice of male being in the inorganic regimentation of male behavior for the habitual militarism manifest by the Vietnam Draft) - and for my already having discussed my identification with Grunge Rock and Alice in Chains in particular (in comment #75), I had nevertheless overlooked the obvious (typical to overlook that which is closest to hand) - The Rooster is a song expressing Alice in Chains’ Grunge roots in that very hippie rebellion for Being against the Vietnam war draft; viz. it is a song about guitarist Jerry Cantrell’s father’s experience in the Vietnam War:

Jerry Cantrell: Papa never really talked about it, the war at all, I asked him about it one time.

We were sitting on the porch drinking beer at night in summer time or something and I asked him what

and he just said you know that’s dead, so just let it lie - let it Be.

Father Cantrell: You had to survive. That’s the main thing.

Sometimes you’d think, what the hell are we doing here, right? ...watching my friends die…

it was the worst experience of mine, a sad experience, lets just hope nobody else has to go through it…

The News Behind The News - Carl Klang

  Have you ever stopped to wonder why the world’s in such a mess?

  Why there’s so much mindless mayhem on the T.V. in the press?

  Why so many busy businessmen are snappin’ from the stress?

  And the rest of us are joggin’ from depression?

  Did it ever once occur to you or ever cross your mind?

  That the problems of this nation are created by design?

  That no matter what they tell ya there’s another bottom line?

  Intertwined between the patterns of deception?

  Since our eyes were first open and our ears began to hear

  They’ve been herding us like cattle through our fantasy and fear

  They rule us through illusion and confusion of the mind

  And by changing subtle meanings to the words between the lines

  It’s the news behind the news and the methods you can use

  It’s the blueprint and the plan you can rely on

  And it’s written in the Protocols Of The Learned Elders Of Zion

  Move along now all you little bovine…

  Now they’ll tell ya it’s a forgery they’ll say that it’s a fake

  That some anti-Semite wrote it for the money that he’d make

  It’s been slanderized and demonized and labeled “racist hate”

  By the same who stake a claim to it’s creation

  Now I’m not here to try to argue if it’s fake or if it’s true

  If the author was a commie or the likes of you know who

  What I’m really tryin’ to tell ya and to get across to you

  That it’s the blueprint to the downfall of our nation

  There’s a cause to the chaos that’s occurring in the land

  There’s a road to communism there’s a global master plan

  You’ll never read about it in a book of history

  ‘Cause it’s been hidden from the masses to control their destiny

  It’s the news behind the news and the methods that they use

  It’s the blueprint and the plan they all rely on

  And it’s written in the Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion

  Yee haw!

  Now them Protocols of Zion have a crazy history

  Henry Ford gave out a copy free, with every Model “T”

  It’s a crime to even own one if you live in Germany

  Though it’s not an anti-Jewish publication

  So if you ever get a chance to get a copy of your own

  Just remember not to ever leave it lyin’ ’round your home

  ‘Cause ya never know just where their snoopy news reporters roam

  One might even be a friend or close relation

  It’s the cause to the chaos that’s occurring in the land

  It’s the source of communism, it’s the global master plan

  You’ll never read about it in a book of history

  ‘Cause it’s been hidden from the masses to control our destiny

  It’s the news behind the news and the methods that they use

  It’s the blueprint and the plan they all rely on

  And it’s written in the Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion

  And it’s written in the Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion

  Yee Haw! Go ahead and wail at your wall!

Yes, I had three older siblings, all born two years apart in the 50s ....while I was four years younger than the third one, they did manage to purvey a not too badly scratched version which “stood-up” when you opened-it.

       

Let it not be said that the boomers did no good. For one thing - fantastic music and atmosphere - hearing Stand Up around Christmas decorum and a fire at night, for example - precious! 

                                       
                                        back cover

On the problematic side, the music was almost too good - addictive: simply give me an album like that to hear along with a cup of coffee and I could be all too content and bemused.

Of course, we had no Internet to escape the (((controlled))) TV and radio networks back then, so that exacerbated that inclination.

Yoshiko Sai, from her album Mikko (Stowing Away) again. This is the title track and the last on the LP. It begins with a Spanish guitar intro before Yashiko’s vocals come in and for my tastes this is probably as good as popular music gets.  This track on the original vinyl version ends rather abruptly. The first time I listened to it, I thought I’d had a power cut. The guy responsible for this You Tube version has given it a gentle fade out. However the original ending serves to me as a useful metaphor for those things in life that end far too soon and with regret.

I (DanielS) don’t always disagree with Andy Nowicki. Despite the constraints of his kosher paradigm, he’s rendered a fairly good critique of (((Billy Joel))). He criticizes Joel’s condescension as expressed in just about every song of his; and in particular, Nowicki registers his hate of the “Only The Good Die Young” song, which I’ve always found repugnant as well. ..it’s supposed to be cute, ‘maturely dealing with reality’ or something.

I remember getting a big laugh from a fellow student when one of our (((teachers))) said that she loved Billie Joel and I responded that “he was a bit too mature for me.”  ..I would now say that he’s espousing “universal maturity.”

Anyway, here’s Andy’s critique:

Neil Young with “Cortez the Killer” live at Farm Aid, 2017. Farm Aid was set up in 1985 by Young, Willie Nelson and John Mellencamp in order to raise awareness about the loss of family farms and to protest corporate control, factory farms, GM crops and growth hormones. Farm Aid has raised $58 million over the years.

It’s true that I (DanielS) never could relate to a guy wanting a woman back once he’s been cucked - as in “This Boy”, but it’s a great tune nevertheless. It is for that reason perhaps, that this kind of message in catchy popular tunes deserves critique and critical awareness.

But irrespective of lyrical content, one could always sense their biopower - it felt like having not just musicians, but kick-ass warriors of sorts on our side - we didn’t need to be reserved, we could rock and be cool with the best of them.

Actually, I do remember the first time I heard this song - at The Peppermint Lounge in Manhattan.

Issued forth from giant speakers suspended several storys above, it was like hearing the gods shattering of the aeons in overwhelming array and force. Really amazing. A great song in any case, but nothing comes close to the experience of how that sound system conveyed it.

Claudio Simonetti’s New Goblin with a live studio version of the theme from Dario Argento’s 1975 brilliant (in its full length Italian language release) giallo “Profundo Rosso” which starred English actor David Hemmings and Daria Nicolodi. Goblin are particularly popular in Japan, I’m told.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wEcyYuAV3mg

What I love about Italian cinema from the late sixties and nineteen seventies, apart from the often stunning cinematography, wonderful sense of period style and drop dead gorgeous actresses is their social and political content. The impact of globalism, issues pertaining to identity, sexuality, gender roles and equality , y’know, all the things Alt-Right millennial’s obsess over like they just fell into their lap, were portrayed situationally as human stories to be debated. Not to mention the often biting critiques of the Church and the Italian political class.

The bachelor’s song…

Yeah, sometimes late at night I wind up taking advantage of myself. I confess, I’m no different. I’m not weird about it or anything, I don’t tie-myself-up first…

Tom Waits does sound like Beefheart, who, in turn, sounds like Howlin’ Wolf.

Here is a story of the one time Waits and Beefheart were in the same place. Actually, Waits was opening for a Beefheart show during a Beefheart come-back tour in the mid-70s - the particular show was in Chicago but when Beefheart took the stage he could not remember the words to his opening song and the show was cancelled.

“Some people would look at Tom Waits and say that there was influence and it definitely was true but I don’t think it was true back in the 70s….when I first met Tom Waits, I didn’t actually meet him, I heard him, he opened up for us in a show in Chicago. The thing I remember about that show was that I noticed was this beatnik guy at the piano…

Tom Waits had been impeccable in his performance. Don, on the other hand, got up there and couldn’t remember the lyrics to Abba-Zabba. Which I can sing in my sleep. Anyone who has listened to that music much, Abba-Zabba’s not a tough song to do and that was our opening song and he couldn’t make it through it. And after twelve, I think it was twelve takes, or false starts, they finally just gave up and said ‘we’re not going to be able to do this.’ And everybody left and I was totally humiliated. I’m just looking over at Tom Waits and thinking to myself, I wonder what it like to work with a guy who actually knows what it means to perform and be responsible for what he’s doing.” - Zoot Horn Rollo

Ry Cooder tells a similar story of Beefheart’s insufferable unprofessionalism. At the famous Monterey Pop festival Beefheart was so overcome with stage fright that he lost orientation and fell off of the back of the stage.

The band performed the show without him (the hippies were so drugged out they didn’t know the difference), but Ry Cooder quit the band after the show.

Arthur and Alice

by John Conlee


Lyrics for Arthur and Alice by John Conlee

Arthur and Alice played shuffleboard
Down in Denington today
Then they packed the best picnic they could afford

And drove down by old Tampa Bay

Forty-nine years on assembly lines
Way back up Michigan way
Now they’re in a trailer, ain’t far of the pines
Arthur and Alice are doin’ OK

Arthur and Alice make love every night
Love in their own special way
Sometimes by just holding each other tight
Hoarding dreams of yesterday

But then sometimes they still love a good storm
Just like on their wedding day

Way down where even the winters are warm
Arthur and Alice are doin’ OK

Arthur and Alice have seven grand kids
In Ann Arbor and in LA
They’ll come to visit, last winter they did
A Busch Gardens Disney World day

Poor Arthur, he’s got a bad heart and she’s nearly blind
At least that’s what doctors say
But his heart’s full of love and she reads his mind
Arthur and Alice, Arthur and Alice are doin’ OK

In common with an earlier generation of violinists Panfili arranges music for her own performance and style, a tradition that the current generation of violinists have forgotten. Her performances appear effortless and the artist’s muse shines through.

The neighborhood was changing
Strangers moving in
A new boy fell for a local girl
When she made eyes at him

She was young and pretty
No stranger to other men
But doors were being locked at night
Old lines were drawn again…

Posted by They called her Babylon on Tue, 25 Sep 2018 18:58 | #

In 1643 James Stanley, the 7th Earl of Derby, was ordered to take a force of men to the Isle of Man by King Charles, who feared a Scottish invasion of the island. The Earl left his wife Charlotte de la Tremouille in charge of what was the last remaining Royalist stronghold in Lancashire - Lathom House near Ormskirk.

Upon hearing of the fall of Warrington in early February the following year, Lady Charlotte set about improving the defences of the stronghold and began stockpiling supplies and ammunition. She chose the best marksmen and stationed them in the high towers. In late February a Parliamentary army, led by Colonel Alexander Rigby arrived at Lathom House. An officer was sent with surrender terms which Charlotte tore up before his eyes.After threatening to have the officer hanged from the tower gates, she told him “Carry this answer back to Rigby and tell that insolent rebel, he shall have neither persons, goods, nor house. When our strength and provisions are spent we shall find a fire more merciful than Rigby”.

Lathom House suffered almost constant bombardment from cannon and mortar fire . however gradually, the Puritans found it was they who were under siege from Lady Charlotte and her men. Sniper fire   and a number of daring sorties from the House sapped the Puritans morale. After one particularly successful sortie, Rigby ordered a day of prayer and fasting. A Puritan chaplain gave a sermon against Charlotte, based on Jeremiah 50:14 -

“Put yourselves in array against Babylon on every side : all ye that bend the bow, shoot at her, spare no arrows, for she hath sinned against the Lord”.

The siege was lifted on April 23rd, having lasted two months, when Colonel Rigby learned of an approaching Royalist army led by Prince Rupert.

1979-07-12 Tigers at White Sox (Disco Demolition)

The Disco Music of the Seventies was a commercial plowing over and burying of the implicitly White male manifold of the Sixties. It was a pandering to the trad half of the feminist agenda, which sought to reimpose rigid gender assignments - with blackening standards of dance, bling clothing and the bottom line.  ...You have long, unprocessed hair? .....eeeew, you’re so weird!

By decade’s end, there was some implicit White male backlash under the hapless rallying cry “disco sucks” ... except for this one momentary flair-up at an odd Comisky Park promotion - passing mostly in surly resignation by those marginalized to rock’s seedier forms, such as metal… although it must be said that these kinds were probably aligned to become the future tech nerds.

Disco Sucks, a futile cry, the Disco Demolition a futile gesture, but definitely, implicitly White:

Posted by Bruce Springstein on Thu, 24 Jan 2019 18:01 | #

I hated Bruce Springsteen from the outset. I didn’t identify with him as a native New Jersey resident. It wasn’t just his throaty voice that bothered me, not only his kind of overly traditional take on gender relations (naive in context), but the way his overweening predilection pushed aside serious thought about racial conflict, without sufficient complexity and nuance (someone from Asbury Park, of all places, should know better), complications which would prompt refection on philosophy and way of life…..in turn prompting reflection on nuance in gender relations - necessary considerations (that may not apply to more brutish cultures) -still not over complexities, but important considerations, whereas he was taking popular culture back into a greasy denial and stupifying simplicity of the 50s take on these issues.

Say what you want about the destructiveness of drugs in the psychedelic rock genre, the “naivete” of placid euphoria in being as opposed to war, at least they were engaging radical concerns about way of life, weren’t singing about their broken hearts constantly, incredible anxiety for some woman who was supposed to be a panacea worth enduring a thousand hells for - weren’t singing about that all the time, anyway (but where they were singing about these impossible standards of desire to overcome barriers, you might have to a clue where “toxic masculinity” comes from - i.e., unreasonable demands and expectations).

Anyway, back in the 70’s, post hippie era, that was my take on Springsteen - hated him for his diversion from the manifold creativity and problem solving that would stem from White male being - the hippie project (largely unbeknownst to the hippies).

Then I had the experience of being invited backstage to a concert of South Side Johnny and the Asbury Jukes at the Morris Stage, November 1984. The (((promoter))) happened to know that Springsteen would perform the encore.

As I walked into the area backstage my eyes locked with Springsteen by happenstance as he just happened to be standing where I walked by. I smiled, well, we’re going to see what all the hoopla is about.

South Side Johnny and the Asbury Jukes were mediocre and though the auditorium was full, the crowd was a rather muted, uninspired affair, even after South Side performed their final and best song, “I don’t want to go home.”

My back was to the stage and my friends and I were planning on going home when suddenly I felt this presence - I knew without turning around that Springsteen was walking on stage; and when I turned around there he was - a phenomenon.

It was as if he was out of time and timeless, every move, every note that he played - perfect.

The crowd came utterly to life and into color - it moved around him where he was in timeless space - they were going crazy from the onset, girls were crying hysterically in the front row. He addressed the crowd, ridiculously, “who’s this Morris guy? (it’s Morristown, New Jersey), we’re going to name this Boss-town!” Corny as all get out, but you couldn’t help but go with it. Who’d ever seen such execution of confidence?

He played three songs, amazingly:

1) Wait til the midnight hour

2) Knock on Wood

3) Twist and shout

I wouldn’t say that I became his biggest fan or a devotee, but I did appreciate his music and ability after that. It didn’t change my mind philosophically to agreement with him - whatever there is to agree with - though perhaps I eased off, and relegated him as we do with so much catchy music - ignore the lyrics and politics behind where we must (hell, I might even enjoy a U-2 song in that frame of mind - editing all the politics out).

Then again, it is time that we took musicians to task. Speaking for myself, I had to first detach from my entrancement in music.

Sometime in the late 80s, I drastically curtailed my music consumption.

Springsteen’s politics thus, or the politics of any musician became that much less relevant to my concerns.

I can’t say that I follow Springsteen, though I have noticed that his politics generally suck - anytime I hear people use the word “racism”, I write them off as philosophically illiterate and backward.

I can agree with not liking Trump, obviously - and in particular, I can agree with his remarks about the Access Hollywood tape not being cool - and I can even believe that his “rocker colleagues don’t talk about women quite like that.”...

But holding rallies for Hillary? How could any conscientious person be really enthusiastic about her? An organic support for Hillary?

Shudder. And yeah, I see that Springsteen continues to do all the anti-racist stuff that caused me to ignore him in those few moments when I took a peek at what he was saying in recent years….

It gave me a clue to ignore him such that I would not even consider taking the bait of the phony, internationalist left themes that he’s been trying to portray himself as champion of.. trying to go with working class themes like some kind of Woody Guthrie or something.

Indeed, this writer, Fenek Solère, published at Counter-Currents, is on target a number of times regarding Bruce Springsteen’s obsequious, non-national, international “leftism.”

Hence, the inuathenticity of Spingsteen’s thematization.

It goes to show that charisma isn’t corollary to depth. Springsteen has/had musical genius, yes, but deep? Not actually.

P.S., As for his “Mr. Clean” image, he was drinking and snorting coke back stage.

Dancing in the Dark: Bruce Springsteen & the Betrayal of Blue-Collar America

by Fenek Solère, 24 Jan 2019:

Lights out tonight
Trouble in the heartland . . .

–“Badlands” (1978)

             

I was sold on Springsteen the moment I first heard the mournful wail of his harmonica as he began to sing “The River.”

[...]

I sat transfixed before the television, watching this thin young man from the New Jersey shoreline standing alone before the microphone, arms dangling in a crumpled sports jacket, black slacks twitching, his reedy voice trembling with emotion as he poured out his heart on the floodlit stage.

[...]

These were powerful lyrics that immediately resonated with someone like myself, surrounded as I was by a rapidly deindustrializing economy, a region that had just witnessed the gates to its coal mines being locked forever, its steelworks scrapped and factories boarded up along the length and breadth of valley towns that were choked with squalid, back-to-back housing. These were whole communities built on fossil fuels with long traditions of manufacturing, much like those Springsteen describes in his 1995 song “Youngstown.”

[...]

Because that was my world, too, once lit by blast furnaces like lanterns in the sky, which had now been turned into a post-industrial wilderness of skeleton machinery that filled my horizon like dead dinosaurs, along with bleak, stone-clad, two-up-two-down homes, nestled in the bald shadow of denuded hills. These were one-horse towns filled with somnambulist mothers haunted by memories of an avalanche of black slurry that buried their kids, and the faint tint of oil and asbestos forever hovering in the cold, damp wind.

[...]

I thought he was singing about me and people like me, as well as those born and bred in the American rust belt and the flyover states, living without privilege and the advantage of affirmative action programs. These are working men and women paid by the hour, who make their way by having to save every day to get an education, pay the rent, keep up with the mortgage, and make good on the down payment for the car. Like Steinbeck’s Tom Joad, who Springsteen penned a eulogy for in the mid ‘90s, these folks were falling victim to the vulture capitalism of rampant globalization that the songster speaks of in the line.

[...]

Both of us were deluding ourselves that “[t]ogether we could break this trap, we’ll run till we drop, baby we’ll never go back.” We were living in a mirage of images The Boss concocted from a patchwork of hackneyed Americana: “The screen door slams, Mary’s dress waves, like a vision she dances across the porch as the radio plays (“Thunder Road”) . . . Wendy, let me in, I wanna be your friend, I want to guard your dreams and visions, just wrap your legs ’round these velvet rims, and strap your hands ‘cross my engines (“Born to Run”) . . . And the hungry and the hunted, explode into rock ‘n’ roll bands, that face off against each other out in the street, down in Jungleland” (“Jungleland”).

[...]

And that is how I felt, too. I had been expelled from school and had empty hours on my hands, watching the down-bound trains go by, and listening to the old boys in the run-down bars and workingmen’s clubs talking about their glory days – the last few manual laborers with meaningful jobs, who were working on the highway by laying down the blacktop. I would sit next to Caroline in the Queens, sipping black coffee and smoking Marlboros, fantasizing about being Sissy Spacek and Martin Sheen from Terence Malik’s 1973 movie Badlands. I would flick through the pages of Kerouac’s On the Road and try to pretend we understood the hidden meanings behind William Burroughs’s Cities of the Red Night and The Place of Dead Roads, while getting off to Carl Orff’s “Gassenhauer,” and the sparse, strummed melancholia of Springsteen’s 1982 album, Nebraska, whose title track was a blood-curdling nihilistic yell of murderous intent.

[...]

And given the disposition of his blue-collar constituency and the harsh economic and cultural storms they have weathered for decades, one can imagine my disappointment when I noticed the ever-increasing proliferation in Springsteen’s songs of Dylanesque side-bars into the realms of virtue-signaling and political correctness. Where, I asked myself, were my guru’s words of condemnation for the pandemic of black-on-white crime sweeping the country; the deterioration of cities like Baltimore and Detroit to Sierra Leone-level civilizational standards; the off-shoring of millions of factory jobs to places like Mexico and the trade imbalances with cheating China; the apartheid of affirmative action; Hillary Clinton’s election machine playing fast and loose with the basic tenets of democracy; and the excesses of MS-13.

Instead of highlighting the death of women like Kate Steinle, a symbol of the victimization of white womanhood, who was murdered by illegal Hispanic migrants, or the sexual exploitation and rape of children by teenage refugees in Twin Falls, Idaho, Springsteen took the easy route, writing songs about miscegenating veterans in Khe Sahn; Le Bin Son, who had apparently fought side by side with the Americans in Vietnam,  and who is today naturally a hardworking resident of Galveston Bay, being harassed by ignorant whites; and Amadou Diallo, an innocent Guinean immigrant who died when the police shot him forty-one times. Now, the indignant poet was shouting out lines like.

[...]

But what about the “Blue Lives Matter Too” campaign and the forty-five, mainly white, officers killed in the line of duty in the first half of 2018? What about the communities forced to integrate against their will, or the countless lives ruined by cocaine and heroin addiction supplied by Puerto Rican and Colombian drug cartels, or the attacks upon and deplatforming of conservative views?

[...]

Can he not hear the calls from the deplorables of “Lock her Up!” and “Build the wall!” resounding in the packed auditoriums every time Trump takes to the stump? Is there any room in his edgy repertoire for condemnation of the sexual predations of Bill Clinton, Harvey Weinstein, and Bill Cosby, or the fact that his welfare-dependent Rosalitas are dropping anchor babies that are bankrupting California, or that his Jennys, Marys, and Wendys are something like twenty-five times more likely to be raped by a black than a white man?

So much for The Boss’s The Deer Hunter and The Indian Runner movie optics; or for inspiring Tennessee Jones’s Deliver Me from Nowhere; or for his subliminal references to Cormac McCarthy’s classic 1979 novel Suttree in lines such as, “But there are no absolutes in human misery and things can always get worse.”

And indeed, they do. Springsteen played at a pro-Clinton rally in front of thirty-thousand people in Philadelphia on the eve of her election runoff with Trump. He later told Variety, “Yeah, I thought she would have made an excellent president, and I still feel that way, so I was glad to do it.” He said this about a woman who had been hoovering up foreign blood money for the blatantly corrupt Clinton Foundation while supposedly acting as Secretary of State in the Obama administration, and whose flagrantly poor judgment led to the deaths of senior America diplomats and security personnel in Benghazi in 2012.

Surely, in an America where the people who founded and built the nation are on course to be demographically replaced within decades, such a visceral reality must generate enough material for an ingenious songwriter like Springsteen to produce a double-length protest album, rich in social observation, racial and cultural critique, and lyrical hyperbole to match his signature tunes like “Born to Run” and “Born in the USA.” But we all know that is not going to happen, because to even think such things is to “step over the line.”

And he would never do that, schooled as he is in the commercial red-lines laid down by Sony’s CEO, Rob Stringer, the winner of the United Jewish Appeal-Federation of Jewish Philanthropies of New York’s Music Visionary Award, a foundation which is dedicated to “strengthening Jewish communities in New York, in Israel, and around the world.”

So, Bruce, I say to you, you may be a footlights star, charging eight hundred dollars per ticket for your nostalgic ramblings about an America that is fast disappearing in your Broadway talk-shows, but to a discerning admirer like myself, someone who judges a performer not just by his talent, but also by his artistic integrity and honesty in reflecting a society as it truly is and not as some people would have us believe, you fall way short, and are just a shill and a cuck dancing in the dark.

All The Shades Of Green That Fall Beneath This Tree
So Let The Winds Of Change

Let It Also Sow A Seed Of Memory
Marlena In The Cool Satin Sashes
Spread Dreams Over The Battle Below
Bring Love With A Song As She Passes
So His Life Can Stay Immortal To The Country
And Let Every Man Aware Of Being Free
Mmm, When She Talks Of Times When Wine Is Handed To Me
From A Face That Walked Out Of A Memory
And Now That The Battle Is Done
And You Wake Up In The Morning

The Future by Leonard Cohen

Produced by Yoav Goren & Leonard Cohen
Album The Future
 
Give me back my broken night
My mirrored room, my secret life
It’s lonely here
There’s no one left to torture
Give me absolute control
Over every living soul
And lie beside me, baby
That’s an order!

Give me crack and anal sex
Take the only tree that’s left
And stuff it up the hole
In your culture
Give me back the Berlin wall
Give me Stalin and St. Paul
I’ve seen the future, brother
It is murder

Things are going to slide (slide) in all directions
Won’t be nothing (won’t be)
Nothing you can measure anymore
The blizzard, the blizzard of the world
Has crossed the threshold
And it has overturned
The order of the soul

When they said (they said) repent (repent), repent (repent)
I wonder what they meant
When they said (they said) repent (repent), repent (repent)
I wonder what they meant
When they said (they said) repent (repent), repent (repent)
I wonder what they meant

You don’t know me from the wind
You never will, you never did
I’m the little Jew
Who wrote the Bible

I’ve seen the nations rise and fall
I’ve heard their stories, heard them all
But love’s the only engine
Of survival

Your servant here, he has been told
To say it clear, to say it cold
It’s over, it ain’t going any further
And now the wheels of heaven stop
You feel the devil’s riding crop
Get ready for the future: It is murder

Things are going to slide (slide) in all directions
Won’t be nothing (won’t be)
Nothing you can measure anymore
The blizzard, the blizzard of the world
Has crossed the threshold
And it has overturned the order of the soul

When they said (they said) repent (repent), repent (repent)
I wonder what they meant
When they said (they said) repent (repent), repent (repent)
I wonder what they meant
When they said (they said) repent (repent), repent (repent)
I wonder what they meant

There’ll be the breaking of the ancient Western code
Your private life will suddenly explode
There’ll be phantoms, there’ll be fires on the road
And the white man dancing
You’ll see your woman hanging upside down
Her features covered by her fallen gown
And all the lousy little poets coming round
Trying to sound like Charlie Manson
Yeah the white man dancing

Give me back the Berlin wall
Give me Stalin and St. Paul
Give me Christ
Or give me Hiroshima
Destroy another fetus now
We don’t like children anyhow
I’ve seen the future, baby: It is murder

Things are going to slide (slide) in all directions
Won’t be nothing (won’t be), nothing you can measure anymore
The blizzard, the blizzard of the world
Has crossed the threshold
And it has overturned
The order of the soul

When they said (they said) repent (repent)
Repent (repent)
I wonder what they meant
When they said (they said) repent (repent), repent (repent)
I wonder what they meant
When they said (they said) repent (repent)
Repent (repent)
I wonder what they meant
When they said (they said) repent (repent)
Repent (repent)

Great stuff mancinblack - the last one is especially cool for its featuring of various select shots of a young, patriotic Bridget Bardot.

               

Your appreciation of the variety of European forms seems to me what it’s about - the variety that only nationalism can afford:

        Vive la difference.

         

Not to mention the affordance of human ecology, but the enjoyment of the differences is what makes nationalism wonderful and imperialist destruction thereof, repulsive.

For all the snobbery that is attributed to the French, I have not experienced them that way. Furthermore, the whole country has been like art - just everything, pervasively, from the architecture to, well, even the goddamn fruit and vegetable markets are art…

This performance by Mireille Mathieu of “Demoiselle D’Orleans” on French television caused a storm of protest in the right-wing British press. Why they found unabashed patriotism objectionable is beyond me. I just found it regrettable that the passion for the French language, displayed in this performance, isn’t mirrored to the same degree when it comes to the French people. Yet it was even more regrettable that les rosbifs couldn’t even see that far. Merde.

Interested to know what you guys would make of this very strange album from 1971 by the six-piece art-folk band Comus (named after the Greek god of anarchy and chaos).  It was their first release, and is duly titled First Utterance.  There wasn’t another until 1974, and then no more.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eFmqHiHMC1Q

Musically, it could fail so easily if it got lost in a pursuit of strangeness for strangeness’ sake - and it can’t help being strange given its frequent, weirdly shameless focus on violence and mental illness.  It avoids it, though - just - by hanging on to all the musical elements; and also by tempering the anarchy with a (sort of) Blakean questioning of the Tyger.

I am going to check out the second album, To Keep From Crying.  Apparently, it’s not great, but we’ll see.  One thing I have learned is that the band used to perform at the Three Tuns in Beckenham, which is now another outlet for the restaurant chain Zizzi.  Globalisation has burgled the house of the sleeping god.

So it transpires that the album is drawn conceptually from Milton’s masque Comus, which was first presented in 1634 at 11th century Ludlow Castle (a ruin today, having become such during the Civil Wars, a decade after the masque played).

The masque itself is a dramatisation of the presumption for the moral superiority of Reason over the nature and the senses, thus:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comus_(Milton)

The plot concerns two brothers and their sister, simply called “the Lady”, lost in a journey through the woods. The Lady becomes fatigued, and the brothers wander off in search of sustenance.

While alone, she encounters the debauched Comus, a character inspired by the god of revelry (Ancient Greek: Κῶμος), who is disguised as a villager and claims he will lead her to her brothers. Deceived by his amiable countenance, the Lady follows him, only to be captured, brought to his pleasure palace and victimised by his necromancy. Seated on an enchanted chair, with “gums of glutinous heat”, she is immobilised, and Comus accosts her while with one hand he holds a necromancer’s wand and with the other he offers a vessel with a drink that would overpower her. Comus urges the Lady to “be not coy” and drink from his magical cup (representing sexual pleasure and intemperance), but she repeatedly refuses, arguing for the virtuousness of temperance and chastity. Within view at his palace is an array of cuisine intended to arouse the Lady’s appetites and desires. Despite being restrained against her will, she continues to exercise right reason (recta ratio) in her disputation with Comus, thereby manifesting her freedom of mind. Whereas the would-be seducer argues appetites and desires issuing from one’s nature are “natural” and therefore licit, the Lady contends that only rational self-control is enlightened and virtuous. To be self-indulgent and intemperate, she adds, is to forfeit one’s higher nature and to yield to baser impulses. In this debate the Lady and Comus signify, respectively, soul and body, ratio and libido, sublimation and sensuality, virtue and vice, moral rectitude and immoral depravity. In line with the theme of the journey that distinguishes Comus, the Lady has been deceived by the guile of a treacherous character, temporarily waylaid, and besieged by sophistry that is disguised as wisdom.

Meanwhile, her brothers, searching for her, come across the Attendant Spirit, an angelic figure sent to aid them, who takes the form of a shepherd and tells them how to defeat Comus. As the Lady continues to assert her freedom of mind and to exercise her free will by resistance and even defiance, she is rescued by the Attendant Spirit along with her brothers, who chase off Comus. The Lady remains magically bound to her chair. With a song, the Spirit conjures the water nymph Sabrina who frees the Lady on account of her steadfast virtue. She and her brothers are reunited with their parents in a triumphal celebration, which signifies the heavenly bliss awaiting the wayfaring soul that prevails over trials and travails, whether these are the threats posed by overt evil or the blandishments of temptation.

For its part, the album expands that sexual depravity of the sensate which is already inherent in Milton’s masque into a (quite explicit and creepy) catalogue of rape, murder and violence, even execution, and the ungated expression of psychopathy.  There is, it seems, no higher moral value in Reason amid the anarchy and chaos of Comus’ domain.  His nature is Nature’s will to feed on itself and know no restraint in doing so.  Declension is not arrested.  There is nothing to arrest it.  The Christian moral spirit which triumphs in Milton’s masque is coldly and mechanically hung by the neck here.  The lady is raped.

Why this should be seems to me to be because Comus is the god of our existential, not merely moral declension ... of vice as smallness and smallness as a chronically reductive, possessing interiorisation.  Yes, this vast downward shift which he, the god, energises functions as a deadly rebuke to the formal niceties of Milton’s social and religious bien pensant, and specifically a rebuke to its absurdly self-regarding vanity, artifice and non-reality.  But if Comus’s savagery is the Christian’s all too real and lived-in hell, how much more is it the real measure of our psychological functioning, our happy tale of self-hood just a version of Milton’s illusory triumph of Reason and the virtues.

I’ve only listened to the first track, “Diana”, but it was enough to interest me and tell me where things might be going.

Virtue knows he follows softly
Through the steaming woodlands
Travel light the deathly shudder
Down the leafy pathway

The dim light she comes peering through the forest pines
And she knows by the sounds of the baying, by the baying of the hounds

The setting and baying hounds are enough to tell me that the Diana referred to is the goddess known to the Greeks as Artemis, of who Walter Burkert, in his reference book on Greek religion, wrote

For the virginity of Artemis is not asexuality as is Athena’s organizational intelligence, but a peculiarly erotic and challenging ideal. In the Iliad the chorus of Artemis is mentioned only once, in order to tell how Hermes burned with love for one of the dancers and thereupon made her a mother. In other cases also, the chorus of Artemis appears as a predestined occasion for rape….

They released “Diana” as a single although I don’t think it aired on TOTP. Pity. It would have been fun watching Pan’s People try and dance to it.

“Hymn to Bacchus” performed with reproductions of ancient Greek instruments by Daemonia Nymphe.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NAlize71kWU

The English language translation of the lyrics provided with the cd are as follows….

Hail Nymphes, Hail Bacchus. I invoke the loudspoken teller of Bacchic cries
Dionysus first born, double formed, thrice born, Bacchic king, wild confidant, apocryphal
Covered in leaves, Oh Euboulea*, thoughtful of Zeus and Persephone the profane intercourse of which you were born, Immortal God, oh Euboulea, thoughtful, Double Horned, double shaped, ivy crowned, raw food eater, Taurus formed,
Zeus and Persephone, the profane intercourse of which you were born, Immortal God
Hear my invocation you pleased one and help us. Perfect sweet, sweet hearted together, with beautiful belted nannies

 

I believe the lyrics are adapted from the 2nd Century Orphic Hymn to Dionysus and I suppose I should add that according to (very) late tradition Bacchus was the father of Comus. *bull faced?

Mancinblack, very nice Hymn to Bacchus, thank you.

GW, #290
Interested to know what you guys would make of this very strange album from 1971

GW, I liked the music well enough. I enjoy medieval elements in my rock, such as Tull and Gentle Giant, despite Giant’s kosher Shulman brothers - which makes another alternative besides Tull all the more welcome to me.

Now, to your point.

I see the important distinction to make from chaos, anarchy and sexual depravity as the Kantian one in the first place.

As he would say, the empirical world is in arbitrary flux and our morality needs rescuing from it.

To rescue morality from the arbitrary effect of Lockeatine empiricism, he proposed universal, foundational principles.

His proposed solution fails as such, despite proper diagnosis of the problem, because, as Heidegger would say, it was still Cartesian. And Heidegger would put the White Post Modern Turn on proper course by proposing hermeneutics as the means to authenticity - largely a matter of coherence and accountability, facilitated by hermeneutics to achieve warranted assertability, to hold fast to inborn emergent qualities (as you and Heidegger would rightly insist) despite the thronness of our arbitrary empirical condition, as the virtuous sister managed, because she was instilled not with universal principles but with the warranted principles of her own people, their relative interests, love and account of her own virtue as an integral part of their human ecology.

You are consistently insistent, I will give you that.

I am merely proposing here that, absent the inter-relations (and therefore meanings) of the ancient Greek and Roman religious systems though we are, our friend Comus can still be comprehensible and so meaningful even to us thrown beings of modernity, if we accept that he is not a compendium of animalistic behaviours, at least not primarily, but an energy ... a motive energy of Mind ... which knows nothing of the conscious order (I would prefer the presumed conscious order) and is everywhere disorganising by nature and effect.  His god-hood resides in the universality of that energy and the permanency of its rule over us.

I would contend that this is the only basis on which the work of the band Comus makes any kind of sense ... that Roger Wootton and Glenn Goring “got there” in 1971, in the radically freeing spirit of those times.

On the subject of the Lockeatine, it might take us further to reflect on how the Miltonian championing of Reason and Abrahamic morality ... a behaviouralist dictate ... simply does not engage with the hugely possessing, relentless and entropic nature of that which it protests and seeks to conquer.  It is like a foreigner ... an Enlightened soul, no doubt ... yelling in his own tongue at a large and aggressive dog to stop barking at him.  The canine does know the Apollonian voice of his own master, of course, and will respond to it; but he pays no heed whatsoever to the garbled noise of this Other. 

Heidegerrian thought, at its irreducible existential core, speaks to Comus ... to disassociation and declension, to absence and mechanicity and immersion ... in the language of motion and emergence.  The Lockeatines and those opposing them consistently demonstrate that they are philosophical behaviourists, and just don’t pick up the lingo of the universal in Mind, but see only their own prescriptions and believe them to be all there is.  Nothing moves them from this conviction, as nothing moves you - not the explanation that the Cartesian subject was rejected by Heidegger for its self-referentialism but the fact of subjectivity was not rejected, and not the fact that subjectivity is a human universal and does not militate against that other great universal, relation ... not when we dispose of self-referentiality.

You are consistently insistent, I will give you that, GW.

GW: The Lockeatines and those opposing them consistently demonstrate that they are philosophical behaviourists,

Well, then, I am free of this charge of merely opposing the Lockeatines, and I am certainly free of the charge of philosophical behaviorism. Have been free of that charge all along.

The hermeneutic capacity for a liberation from mere facticity, into working hypothesis (e.g., group, our people) is free from the empirical Cartesianims which is behaviorism. It is so very untrue an accusation, such an utter strawman regarding what I have been saying that I am appalled.

and just don’t pick up the lingo of the universal in Mind

I don’t want to pick up any “lingo” of the universal mind, our connectedness through our being a part of the same natural systems as others allows for enough sense making by analogy to empathize with other beings, including theirs, therefore our subjective interests.

but see only their own prescriptions and believe them to be all there is.

I don’t exactly make prescriptions, but regarding the suggestion of monogamy being socially acknowledged as a serious concern, I have been clear to say that sacrament is one good story among many potential stories to tell about sex - it does not only have to be guided by a narrative of sacrament. If people want to look upon it as practical, that can be very good as well - stories of sacrament and pure love can be stultifying. And I have always said, there are stories to accommodate those who cannot manage monogamy as well.

It is a projection to say that I see only my own prescriptions, as you simply want to take a pejorative view of me, in accordance with your same old insistent autobiography, the upstart who is going to disabuse the “unnaturalness and pretense of the pseudointellectual academic” - the foil is important to the story of your life. It is my misfortune that you are not whatever enough to see that I am not the one to put in this role for you.

Worse, you are reacting into the position that the YKW want you to, like the rest of White right wing reaction.

And you will blind yourself to what I actually say, to any significance, not merely in detriment to my efforts, but in obstruction of better theoretical grounds for all of us, simply for the sake of this autobiographical position of yours.

It disturbs me to think that someone might enter the conversation here and be diverted by your utter strawmanning of what I say, and not look into what I actually say, as opposed to the convenient props of your strawman foil.

Nothing moves them from this conviction, as nothing moves you -

This is projection in the sense that nothing moves you from your autobiographical altercasting of me as the bogey foil to you as the upstart who knows better than everyone, and certainly, anyone who has bothered to learn anything form academics - and has the nerve to apply that learning correctly in our interests, as opposed to the stereotypes that you insist upon.

not the explanation that the Cartesian subject was rejected by Heidegger for its self-referentialism

You display time and again your philosphical amateurism.

So literal minded you are, you neither know nor care about what is being done by philosophers when they refer to and critique Cartesianism.

Heidegger was criticizing Cartesianism when he rejected the self-referential subject.

but the fact of subjectivity was not rejected,

Neither do I reject subjectivity. I (and we who can think) recognize, however, that it is not free of interactive involvement and influence as the anxiety that spurs on pure Cartesian separation might hope for.

and not the fact that subjectivity is a human universal and does not militate against that other great universal, relation ... not when we dispose of self-referentiality.

It is common of people who do not understand what is being done by social constructionism proper, to chase after, in ridicule, its (((misrepresentations))) e.g., solipsism, which is veritably opposite, indeed a form of Cartesian anxiety, that “you can make of yourself whatever you like.”

But here again, by doing that, you are only displaying that you insist on placing your autobiography as the non-academic upstart dragon slayer of the “communist” academic and the necessary role of that foil to your autobiography - which requires you to strawman what I actually say in order to try to put me into that role of the foil.

This has had the terrible consequence of obstructing significant advance for the interests of our people; while allowing our enemies to advance further in war of position.

I did not realize soon enough that you could be this way.

With that, you are diverting attention from the very necessary concern to remedy the Cartesian estrangement which leaves us susceptible to systemic dissolution -to be remedied with a centering of perspective in our relative group interests, its interactive relation, indebtedness, responsibility and joint constructions (therein agency and capacity) to gauge the merits of objective findings.

Frequently, when someone has a success story to tell about their life, they will point to an individual or individuals and acknowledge, “my goodness, what my life and work would have been without the help of that person.”

It is true that you have initiated a site here which has facilitated my capacity to speak.

I did not realize the infertile grounds it was founded on, however, as modernity had stripped it - and you - of capacity for willing suspension of disbelief.

At this point then, I am forced to say the opposite of what one might say on stage when one receives a great award - “if not for him, I do not know where I and my work would be!”

Instead: If only people could see what I actually say through his strawmanning at the behest of his right wing friends, the Jesus freaks, the Hitler-headed eternal krauts, the YKW - and in reaction to them, the scientistic reactionaries overcome by Cartesian anxiety for a “purely” warranted position beyond the unionizations of praxis - for the prescription of “all there is, there can be no other” ...a reductionist motive which you have the nerve to project onto me.

And so I say, where would we be, GW, if not for you, for your obstruction - if not for your unwillingness to correct your autobiography (not the only one who knows things, has a few important things right but needs to acknowledge more - much more - where others are putting forth important ideas) - where would I/we be?

Much better off. Much farther along on the road to theoretical soundness being understood and adhered-to broadly by the people we need to understand it.

I still hope that you will change, and finally come to see that our interests can mesh together just fine if only you want them to, if only you decide to amend your autobiography, such that you do not altercast me as antagonistic foil, with trivial ideas.

I am not optimistic about that, but I am confident in the ideas that I bring to bear making consistent, important sense and that I, and these ideas, deserve much more credit - for the sake of our people - than you and those who might egg you on are probably going to grant. I will persist nevertheless, because my work is based in truth and those who are not blinded by their reactionary egos or the red capes of YKW, who pursue our best interests will see it eventually…

My advice is to treat everything you have learned in higher education exactly as you treat everything you have learned from Christian teaching, excepting only that, knowing of it, one might investigate the damage that it has visited upon the life of our race.  It is useful to analysis.  But do not seek to re-interpret and apply any part of it creatively to the European existential question.  The philosophy of our peoples’ life has not yet been written.

Posted by DanielS on Sat, 15 Jun 2019 09:58 | #

Your advice is wrong; deriving from your autobiography as the adversary (David against the Goliath) of academia and your concomitant assumption that it is all Jewish, a magnification derived by understandable resentment and rage at their abuses thereof. But it engenders a ridiculous assumption that everything in academia derives from Jews.


Most of it isn’t (to say the least) though most of it is abused by Jews - their misrepresentations and weaponizations against us.

And just as bad and unacceptable an assumption is that I have passively accepted what Jews have taught without critically analyzing and thinking through what concepts that I do advance, whether having come to these ideas through academia, erudition or in fact, through experience; and just as bad and unacceptable an assumption is that there is nothing, let alone much, of importance of and for European peoples herein.

However, I do consider it fair enough to say that Christianity is derived of Jewish interests - and your analysis of that among your important contributions.

..further, it is fair enough to look - important to look at and consider their pejorative influences on scholasticism since the days of Christianity, perhaps even before.

This is particularly disgusting of you, GW:

But do not seek to re-interpret and apply any part of it creatively to the European existential question.  The philosophy of our peoples’ life has not yet been written.

And it is you who is going to write THE philosophy, right, GW?  ...while sweeping aside all that has gone before as trivial (except Jordan Peterson, as a stepping stone we shouldn’t be too hard on, you say).

Your egotism obstructs improvement. If you can’t find one flaw in statement, you will make it up - usually do - with strawmen.

You treat not my efforts as coming from one with good will toward our people, and with ideas worth profound consideration, but rather, like the businessman that you are, treating me and my contributions as competitor peddling something that you’ve got to trivialize and dismiss in any way that you can.

A good philosopher of the European cause, let alone a great one, would not do that.

For example, in this post, rather than seeking to develop good ideas, you sought rather to try to seize upon anything you could conceive of as a flaw to dismiss EVERYTHING entirely.

Pragmatism as ethnonationalism’s tool against radical skepticism

When I added a discussion between Thomas Sheehan and Robert Harrison that nicely lays out the structure of Heidegger’s philosophy, helping greatly to make sense of it, you asked why I would post it at all because Sheehan over embellishes the hermeneutic aspect in a way that I disagree with as well -

You ask why I would post it then? According to you, apparently, I wasn’t supposed to post it for critical correction, even though the structuring is solid to make sense of Heidegger, despite the fact that Sheehan goes off on an incorrect tangent.

This part from a comment above fits well enough here, and is occasion to call attention to an addition, in bold.

But here again, by doing that, you are only displaying that you insist on placing your autobiography as the non-academic upstart dragon slayer of the “communist” academic and the necessary role of that foil to your autobiography - which requires you to strawman what I actually say in order to try to put me into that role of the foil.

But especially if it’s a universal language, it should not be complex and hard to understand as in some Heideggerian baroque.

It should rather strive to facilitate coordination at very least - coordination to be distinguished from cooperation, which is even better, if it can be managed, but the minimum and more realistic goal broadly is to manage non-conflictual, simultaneously functioning nations; and to have them coordinated on common interests - including threats to pervasive ecology and world wide cataclysm, not only threats coming from manichean antagonists.

Failing coordination with a nation, and threatened by aggression or irresponsibility, the language should serve to rally one’s people and potential allies to national defense, by such terms that it can be made known to them that their system is being violated - i.e., when functional autonomy, ethnonational homeostasis as it were, is being violated and the perpetrator will not back off - the terms should illustrate for allies (coalition “unions”) their common interest in aiding defense.

This is part of why I advocate the metaphor of the ethnonation as a union - it is simple enough metaphor and can have simple enough rules for anyone to understand. We should not put off in the least by its being called simple - it has to be in order to be broadly understood.

“Making common”, as in making commonly understood, is part of the etymology of communication.

Again, I cannot be accused with any accuracy of being a behaviorist, nor championing “reasoning” of an Abrahamic sort.

However, with regard to those people who may be working against our interests one should, in good will, seek out a basic language of common interest - e.g. universal nationalism, human and pervasive ecology.

However, the pursuit of a thoroughgoing language that moves beyond the need for translation, even, would seem to be such an extreme dedication to persuasion and potential cooperation as to betray the very phenomenon, natural and human motives which are not always good and orderly, that you are calling attention to - phenomenon and behaviors acting more like forces of nature, sometimes more confusing and contradictory than actions bespeaking a rational actor that can be reasoned with.

That is to say, beyond a reasonable amount of effort to develop basic common grounds and language, one must focus indeed on the consistency of language in fidelity to one’s own group, to make sure that WE are the ones who understand that we are up against forces that are doing us harm but might not simply be reasoned with.

That’s why coordination occupies the golden mean of out group relations - there doesn’t have to be thorough understanding, cooperation or thoroughly common interests, as long as they can coincide and be coordinated so as not to effect each other group negatively.

To enjoy life again on the inside, but I mean to.
Take a walk around the block
And be glad that I’ve got me some time
To be in from the outside,
And inside with you.
I’m sitting on the corner feeling glad.
Got no money coming in but I can’t be sad.
That was the best cup of coffee I ever had.
And I won’t worry about a thing
Because we’ve got it made,
Here on the inside, outside so far away.
And we’ll laugh and we’ll sing get someone to bring
Our friends here for tea in the evening
Old Jeffrey makes three.
Take a walk in the park, does the wind in the dark
Sound like music to you, well it does to me…

Can you cook, can you sew?
Well I don’t want to know.
That is not what you need on the inside
To make the time go..

Counting lambs, counting sheep
We’ll be falling to sleep
And awake to a new day of living
And loving you so..

Today was ‘National Album Day’ in the UK. I didn’t know such a thing existed but then I suppose it follows the trend for having a ‘National Day’ for just about everything, bar the concept of nationhood itself. More about that later.

On the Halle, Germany, shooting the parents of twenty seven year old suspect Stephan Ballert said..

The suspect’s mother said in an interview with Der Spiegel that he had experimented with drugs* in his early 20’s and emerged as a “different person” having barely survived the experience.**

His father told Bild that his son was a “friendless figure” who lived his online life online and blamed others for his own failings. He wasn’t at ease with himself or the world, always blaming others”.

*Seriously, who hasn’t done that? some may even have gone through that phase in their teens.
** You just don’t see or hear of gun totting hippies. It’s those fucking red pills.

Anyway, thought I’d mash those two things together. Here is a track from one of the best rock albums of this century, in my opinion of course. “Blame Me” from the album “Going to Hell” by The Pretty Reckless.

Yeah, so as a part of ‘National Album Day’ BBC Radio 2 listed the top selling albums for the century so far. In first place was Adele with her MOR third wave feminist power ballads (Adele also secured third place with more of the same). In second place was Jewish zombie Amy Winehouse with ‘Back to Black’. I have to confess that if I was strapped into a chair and forced to choose between listening to Adele or Amy or else, I’d pick Amy. Yet, how the mighty have fallen? Well not really. if you travel back in time to the sixties, the original skinheads listened to Jamaican Ska, adopted Rude Bwoy attitudes and craved a black girlfriend. In the later sixties and seventies it was the white working class who, at a time when white British rock bands were conquering America and Japan, regularly put artists from Stax and Tamla at the top of the UK charts.

The closest I could get to a power (duet) ballad, without feeling sick, is this, from British band Stateless and featuring American singer Shara Worden, formerly of ‘My Brightest Diamond’. Worden, now known as ‘Nova’ following her divorce, is a serious artiste which means she hasn’t had much commercial success but tracking down some of her solo work on YouTube is well worth the effort. Unless your IQ is less than the magic 100 figure, in which case, best stick to Adele.

In the 680’s Bishop Aldhelm of Sherbourne wrote a letter to Heahfrith, a student who had spent six years in Ireland. The letter included the following…

....especially because He who thrust into Tartarus of terrible torture the ghastly three tongued serpent who vomits torrents of rank and virulent poisons through the ages deigned, in like measure, to send to earth the offspring begotten of holy parturition in order to obliterate from the earth the criminal offence of the first matter and the record of the first men on account of their inextricable sin ; and where once the crude pillars of the same foul snake and the stag were worshipped with coarse stupidity in profane shrines, in their place dwellings for students, not to mention holy houses of prayer, are constructed skillfully by the talents of the architect.

Aldhelm was referring to the destruction of West Saxon pagan shrines and of their being replaced by Church mind control centres.

So, here is a prog rock track by the splendidly named off-shoot of Therion, the ‘Luciferian Light Orchestra’ (Sweden) titled Serpent Messiah.

CAPTAIN BEEFHEART Under Review: Documentary

The critics here have convinced me that I can ignore them, though I still wish they’d shut up. Because I like almost all Beefheart albums but not as much the last two and Mirror Man and Decals - which these critics liked. While I love the rest, including Unconditionally Guaranteed and the beautiful Blue Genes and Moonbeams. And despite creative interference, Strictly Personal is probably my favorite.

I would encourage anybody Not to take their bum steers.

Much depends on your mood and situation.

If you are not on a trip and don’t want to hear Don rasping bout “one red bean in the bottom of a tin pan, me and my girl named limbo, bimbo, spam.”..and actually have the real thing in your arms (the two of you perhaps taking mushrooms, not L.S.D., you might want to put on a cut from “Blue Genes and Moonbeams” or “Unconditionally Guaranteed.”

Those dark sounds are the mystery, the roots that cling to the mire that we all know, that we all ignore, but from which comes the very substance of art. “Dark sounds” said the man of the Spanish people, agreeing with Goethe, who in speaking of Paganini hit on a definition of duende. “A mysterious force that everyone feels and no philosopher has explained”.

So, then, the duende is a force, a struggle not a thought. I heard an old maestro of the guitar say “The duende is not in the throat : the duende surges up, inside, from the soles of the feet”. Meaning. it’s not a question of skill, but of a style that’s truly alive ; meaning, ‘it’s in the veins’ ; meaning, it’s the most ancient culture of immediate creation.

This “mysterious force that everyone feels and no philosopher has explained” is, in sum, the spirit of the earth, the same duende that scorched Nietzsche’s heart as he searched for its outer form on the Rialto Bridge and in Bizet’s music. without finding it and without seeing that the duende he pursued had leapt from the Greek mysteries to the dancers of Cadiz and the headless Dionysiac scream of Silverio’s siguiriya.

Brian Wilson orchestrates “God Only Knows”.. in the studio 1966


https://youtu.be/QCTVcNsJGX0

Beautiful song.

And the orchestration, takes and re-takes, provide an illustration of the social construction of a cultural form.

However, it also illustrates where cultural correction, some balancing, is in order.

In the days prior to internet, music was one of the only available emotional outlets and conversational proxies for young men.

Thus, the profusion of love songs idealizing women as panacea - to where one would provide the answer your problems - created groundwork for massive dissilusionment….

Better preparation is in order.

Everyone has his/her own features, strengths, but Paganini is unique, he was the first rock star in music history. People didn’t just want to hear him, they also wanted to see him because it was a show. He changed music history.
(Violinist Ara Malikian)

I gather the depiction of a Niccolo Paganini concert in the 2013 film “The Devil’s Violinist” is not far off the mark of what a Paganini gig would have been like. Beat those fans girls and swoon, swoon.

Soprano Renee Fleming sings “Song to the Moon” from Antonin Leopold Dvorak’s “Rusalka”. A rusalka is a water sprite in Slavic folklore.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JHM3zMBQxTQ

Dvorak wanted to put something of the spirit of the Czech nation into his music, especially in his operatic works. “Rusalka”, first performed in 1901, is the best of his operas and “Song to the Moon” his most popular aria. Therefor, you could say this is the spirit of the Czech nation in seven minutes. You will not hear it performed better than this, at the last night of the Proms, in 2010.

381

Posted by mancinblack on Sat, 14 Mar 2020 17:13 | #

The earliest known written version of ‘John Barleycorn’ appears in the Bannatyne Manuscript of 1568, although the song is generally regarded as being far older.

Considering the genealogy of the Royal House of Wessex, Anglo-Saxon scholar Kathleen Herbert notes that the first ancestor of the dynasty was Woden, followed by Scef (Sheaf), Scyld (Shield) his son and then Beow (Barley). Herbert writes

Barley, his son. This is the being, later known as John Barleycorn, whose passion, death and resurrection are told in a folk song, which also celebrates the reviving effects of drinking his blood.

(Looking for the Lost Gods of England, Herbert (1994) ISBN 1-898281—04-1)

A-S scholar Richard North in ‘Heathen Gods in Old English Literature’ associates Beow with the fertility god of the Saxons, Ing. North suggests (after pretty extensive research, I have to say) that the conversion to Christianity was eased because the pagan Saxons simply regarded JC as another version of their own dying and resurrected god, without realising that Christianity is a winner takes all religion.

Thunderbuck Ram from ‘Mad Shadows’ 1970

Will there come a time when sorrow’s hard to find
And all those nursery rhymes have a meaning
There’s got to be a change, thoughts to rearrange
Does it seem so strange to try redeeming

Only time will tell if the unrelenting blow
That’s cast from down below does strike the ceiling
Life must still go on whatever’s right or wrong
Realise what’s gone and was never healing.

More Mott the Hoople from the LP ‘Brain Capers’ (1972) song ‘The Moon Upstairs.
Lyrics. Best played loud-

Well, my brother was a drinking man and I asked him for release
He said ‘This won’t do you no good’ and sent for the police
Well they busted me for nothing cause they said I was insane
So they let my body go but they locked away my brain

Well I wandered freely as a bird that had broken both it’s wings
And I hated them and they hated me and I hated everything
And I feel neglected, feel rejected, living in the wrong time

And to those of you who always laugh
Let this be your epitaph

And my head is down and I’m called a clown by comedians that grace
The living stage of every page of worthless meaningless space
But I swear to you before we’re through you’re gonna feel our every blow
We ain’t bleeding you we’re feeding you but you’re too fucking slow

And to those of you who always laugh
Let this be your epitaph.

How well I know about the spring from which water
Emanates and flows out
Even though it is by night

That eternal spring
How well I know where it keeps its shelter
Even though it is by night

In this dark night that is life
How well, by faith, I know of the cold spring
Even though it is by night

I don’t know its origin, for it has none
Yet I know that every origin comes from it
Even though it is by night…..

Angela Aguilar’s version of the classic ranchera song ‘La Llorona’

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h5z99EYHY4I

Before the Spanish colonization Dia de Muertos was celebrated at the beginning of summer and originates from an Aztec festival dedicated to their goddess Mictecacihuatl (try pronouncing that when you’ve had a few).

My favourite song from this particular version of Fleetwood Mac, ‘Rhiannon’. No soppy love song this, for Rhiannon is taken from the pages of the Mabinogion - the book of Welsh mythology. Of course, the Welsh like to think of themselves as the original Britons and will point to their darker looks as evidence of this. For their part, the English are too polite to point out that the dark looks of the Welsh is due, in no small part, to a large influx of Italian miners during the nineteenth century. The Italians brought their love of opera with them, which accounts for all the male voice choirs in Wales. For me Rhiannon is second only to the Luna goddess that the Mabinogion names ‘Arianrhod’ which means ‘silver wheel’. Now, I shall let you into a secret. I was once privileged to see Arianrhod in all her glory. You are thinking now that mancinblack has been at the mushrooms - but no - let me explain. The phenomenon known as the Luna orb, is a fairly rare occurrence in England and perhaps cloud cover has something to do with that. In fact, I’ve only seen three in my lifetime. On the first two occasions the orb was fairly close to the moon but on the third and last - wow. Absolutely stunning - and was what our ancestors would have regarded as a manifestation of the goddess Arianrhod. Let me tell you, no earthly woman could match her beauty.

They can pull down our statues, destroy our works of art, burn our books but they can never, ever, disconnect us from our ancestors.

Now back to rock music…

Brian Ferry is an oddball.

Worlds best dressed and most languidly deluxe chanteur - GQ

Esquire noted Ferry’s lifelong obsession with clothing and describing any engagement with him as a “bespoke event, a louche ensemble of elegant affectations” (Wiki)

Yet he was a working class lad from Co. Durham. His father was a farm labourer. I read an interview with Ferry in ‘Sounds’  which was a weekly rock newspaper back in 1972, the journalist referred to Ferry as “the most pretentious person I’ve ever had the misfortune to meet”.

My mother was always good with advice like “they are not blood thirsty like us” lol and when I was entering the dating game in my teens, she told me to remember that “women can be very fickle”. I just wish I’d paid more attention to her. I know she didn’t speak Italian or listen to opera but my favourite opera has always been Rigoletto.

La donna e mobile
Qual piuma vento
Mata d’accento - e di pensier
etc

Woman is fickle
Like a feather in the wind
She changes her voice and her mind
etc

personally, I think that is the cause of misogyny, more than anything else, depending, of course on how a man reacts to that particular characteristic which I have observed…more times than……… I have wanted to .

Posted by DanielS on Fri, 19 Jun 2020 01:25 | #

I’ll speak for myself then. In the confusion of the multicult and the throngs of feminism, some of it up close and personal, a misogynistic streak was sparked in me in younger days (never anything palpably serious, never hit a woman or anything) but in terms of disposition on account of women unremittingly and fiercely complaining about men and then often having a tendency to make incredibly obnoxious choices, or displays in their prerogative in who they gave their treasure to (while trashing you)...

...the apparent no win situation that feminists can place you in, even as a well meaning man, which Pearce talked about - “wimp/or pig”, no matter what you do…

That’s a long time ago now though. In particular, I found that gender relations are tolerable where a semblance of ethnonational boundaries are recognized as opposed to the PC civic nationalism of America. For me, these issues were ironed-out completely with a crystallizing of my political/philosophical world view.

With that, I’m all for turning “game” on its head. I like the friend zone.

Posted by "Beefheart’s work used to make me feel ill" on Sat, 04 Jul 2020 06:04 | #

PJ Harvey cites Captain Beefheart and his Magic Band as one of her biggest influences (#4 to be exact)

BBC 3 By Paul Stokes, August 2017. Updated October 2019:

6 of PJ Harvey’s biggest influences…according to PJ Harvey

“Captain Beefheart phoned-up because he just wanted to say he liked what I was doing…”

Another ‘gift’ from her parents’ record collection, Captain Beefheart didn’t initially make the best impression on the young Polly Harvey. “I’d heard Beefheart when I was really young through my father and my mother, they had all of Beefheart’s work, but when I was a child it just used to make me feel ill,” she admitted around the release of A Woman A Man Walked By.

“Beefheart’s work used to make me feel ill” – PJ Harvey

BY: DEREK ON: 5 APRIL 2009 IN Beefheart.com IN THE PRESS TAGGED: PJ HARVEY

PJ Harvey’s new album A Woman A Man Walked By, recorded with long-time musical collaborator John Parish, features former Magic Band member Eric Drew Feldman on keyboards.

John Parish and PJ Harvey are both Captain Beefheart fans and significant musical similarities to the work of Captain Beefheart have been noted by most reviewers. Even the publicity material for the album at PJ Harvey’s MySpace page flags the Beefheart connection.

In a video at Island Records website John and Polly can be heard talking about their musical influences. Polly explains how she first came to appreciate Captain Beefheart:

I’d heard Beefheart when I was really young through my father and my mother … they had all of Beefheart’s work, but when I was a child it just used to make me feel ill. I didn’t understand it. And then when I met John when I was sixteen / seventeen he introduced me to many things, one of which was re-introducing me to Captain Beefheart, and he gave me a cassette of Shiny Beast which I still have.

It was John Parish – him again – who reintroduced Harvey as a teenager to Don Van Vliet’s work which left a deep impression on her music… and then another mutual friend introduced her to Beefheart himself. This led to a friendship with Van Vliet, plus later a year-long stint for Harvey playing bass in former Magic Band member Morris Tepper’s Los Angeles group.

PJ Harvey’s phonecall with Captain Beefheart

John Peel asks Polly about her phone conversation with Captain Beefheart.

From Spin, 11 April 2011:

“I’ve never had any interest in making something I’ve already made before only slightly differently,” she says. “But I do have a huge interest in gaining knowledge and experimenting, and then moving into new areas.”

It is this chameleonlike approach that has allowed her to switch from pagan folk to accessible rock so seamlessly, from 1992’s abrasive Dry to 1998’s ethereal Is This Desire? to 2000’s streamlined Stories From the City, Stories From the Sea, and now to the haunting but at times oddly jaunty Let England Shake.

And she has achieved all this with rare success too, winning awards and plaudits and longevity, as well as the respect of her idol, the late Captain Beefheart, who once called her to praise her work (something Beefheart almost never did to anyone). So impressed is London’s Imperial War Museum with her new album that it has invited her to become its first “War Artist.”

There are many on-line music reviewers on YouTube and others who do not actually review music but offer a reaction to the first hearing of it.  This one is a hilariously street-talking black guy reacting quite viscerally and positively to Yes’s 1974 full-side, Side 1 song, Gates of Delirium:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PbQlgKqkHug

Here is another black guy working the same schtick.  No street talk at all, but he is a committed Christian like Jon Anderson, and gets Anderson’s somewhat larded-on mysticism (which point he signals by removing his baseball cap).  This video also includes the Side 2 songs Sound Chaser and To Be Over:

Emerson, Lake & Palmer - Knife Edge (1970)

Knife Edge (Studio Version)

Lyrics:

“Knife-Edge”

Just a step cried the sad man
Take a look down at the madman
Theatre kings on silver wings
Fly beyond reason
From the flight of the seagull
Come the spread claws of the eagle
Only fear breaks the silence
As we all kneel pray for guidance

Tread the road cross the abyss
Take a look down at the madness
On the streets of the city
Only spectres still have pity
Patient queues for the gallows
Sing the praises of the hallowed
Our machines feed the furnace
If they take us they will burn us

Will you still know who you are
When you come to who you are

When the flames have their season
Will you hold to your reason
Loaded down with your talents
Can you still keep your balance
Can you live on a knife-edge.

Well, Manc, if we are going to stray into the realm of the intellectually satisfying (aka, classical), I can fill another couple of threads with suggestions.  Some are little known.  For example, here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wd1rxZXp5aY

... is the Piano Concerto No. 1 in B-flat minor by the 21 year old Swede Wilhelm Stenhammar in 1893.  It is his Opus number 1, and if it isn’t obvious from the Andante con moto which ends the piece, he was a nationalist of his time.


492

Posted by mancinblack on Wed, 11 Nov 2020 16:14 | #

Very enjoyable, GW, particularly the Andante .. and did you know that Stenhammar performed the Concerto himself here in Manchester with the Halle ?


493

Posted by Guessedworker on Wed, 11 Nov 2020 16:38 | #

Never knew that, Manc.

Another favourite patriotic piece of mine, entirely different to the Stenhammar, is Vaughan Williams’ wonderful score to the wartime propaganda film Coastal Command, and in particular the five-minute section titled Quite Determination which begins at 6 min 55 secs. 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMSRNPt8_hg

My father was 3 Group Bomber Command pilot operating Lancs in 1944, and didn’t even do a mine-laying trip (though he had a very hairy tour).  So I can’t claim that VW’s score captures much of my father’s experience, but that one passage surely expressed the heart and soul of every aircrew member as he climbed the ladder to undertake another night’s work, or day’s.

Often described as the “most English” prog rock band, Caravan released ‘In the Land of Grey and Pink’ in 1971 to much critical acclaim and despite its lack of commercial success the album has always been available on vinyl and later, compact disc. This is ‘Winter Wine’ from the recording.

Herbert von Karajan set the benchmark for recordings of Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No ! along with the Berlin Philharmonic in 1979. The second movement has always been a favourite of mine.

An almost forgotten anecdote about Tchaikovsky was that he at one time suffered from a variant of ‘glass delusion’, which was a condition that afflicted members of the European aristocracy periodically for around four hundred years. They would convince themselves that they were actually made of glass and would shatter if they didn’t take precautions. The Tchaikovsky variant is said to have been that his head would fall off while conducting if he didn’t hold on to it. I assure all that I’m not making this up.

In our own time, we have have been subjected to yet another variant of ‘glass delusion’, which has caused those who voted to Remain in the EU to believe that they - and everyone else - would “fall off a cliff edge” the moment Britain left. Sadly, the Remainers remain and appear daily on BBC News 24, most recently backing the Teachers Unions in what used to be known as calls for strike action.

Anyway, to go with the weather….

I watched the final episode of the BBC’s “Ridley Road” last night which is a drama about Colin Jordan’s attempted revival of National Socialism in the early 1960’s and the Jewish resistance to it. What occurred to me, apart from the obvious - Jordan must have had a screw loose in believing that would fly, was that Rory Kinnear is in danger of becoming typecast as a couple of scenes looked like they were inspired by “Penny Dreadful : City of Angels”. If you watched “Ridley Road” have a look at this “Penny Dreadful” fan video.

Blues is a musical genre that originated in the United States by freed slaves and is deeply rooted in African American culture.

Very few white musicians can play the blues and not come off as sounding, at best, like cheap imitations.

The band you linked to isn’t terribly bad, but still….

One of my all time fave white blues bands is Savoy Brown. Their style makes it work.

Of course The Rolling Stones do some very good work at performing blues inspired tunes too.

Blues was not originated by Blacks .

Blues was developed from Black emulation of long - audited ( captive - audience wise ) White, string - based, folk music . 

I thought every educated person knew this.

Ragtime , as a musical sub genre, has a strong claim to be authentically Black .  The musical time was ragged and thus racially apposite.


527

Posted by Thorn on Fri, 05 Nov 2021 11:12 | #

@526

Here, Al, this time you can educated yourself with the facts:

“Blues is a music genre[3] and musical form which was originated in the Deep South of the United States around the 1860s[2] by African-Americans from roots in African-American work songs and spirituals. Blues incorporated spirituals, work songs, field hollers, shouts, chants, and rhymed simple narrative ballads.”

Read more>> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blues


Read this:

Perhaps the most compelling African instrument that is a predecessor to an African-American instrument is the “Akonting”, a folk lute of the Jola tribe of Senegambia. It is a clear predecessor to the American banjo in its playing style, the construction of the instrument itself and in its social role as a folk instrument. The Kora is played by a professional caste of praise singers for the rich and aristocracy (called griots or jalis) and is not considered folk music. Jola music may not have been influenced much by North African/Middle Eastern music, which may point to African American music not being, according to Sam Charters, related to kora music.[citation needed] The music of the Akonting and that played by on the banjo by elder African-American banjo players, even into the mid 20th century is easily identified as being very similar. The akonting is perhaps the most important and concrete link that exists between African and African-American music.

Oh, sorry , Thorn .

I should have deferred to your Jewkipedia reference .

Instead, in the matter of Black blues having its roots in aping White folk music, I foolishly consulted a book of which my wife owns a signed copy , viz., ‘The Cambridge History of Twentieth - Century Music ‘, published , unsurprisingly, by Cambridge University Press and authored by two distinguished musicologists , one of whom was the 1684 Professor of Music ( Nick Cook ) at that seat of European high culture.


531

Posted by Thorn on Sat, 06 Nov 2021 11:41 | #

Al, outside from you and your obscure reference book, virtually everyone acknowledges blues, rock & roll, jazz have their origins in black culture. There really is no argument about it. It’s just a matter of fact.

For the better part of the last century, a LARGE segment of white musicians have been aping black music and musical style. From the Beatles to Led Zeppelin to Ten years After to The Blue Riders you linked to—the list is very long….. Moreover, and Jewkipedia reference notwithstanding (lol), they all readily admit their music was-is heavily influenced by black culture / black artists. Why that is is a topic for another discussion.

Not set to the original music (this is Dean Martin) but it does sync well to the dance steps of Fred Astaire and Rita Hayworth.

The crackpottery of a Christian liking a song by Led Zep simply because it mentions the ((( Prince of Peace ))) is , sadly ,to be expected.

Jimmy Page , as we all know, was an admirer of Aleister Crowley , a ” Satanist ” , even to the extent of purchasing AC’s residence , Boleskine House, in Foyers on the shore of Loch Ness.

Of course , in an oblique way Page , whether he knew it or not , was actually worshipping (((God))) because the old tribal Jewish deity created His subterranean faux adversary to frighten stupid Goyim.
