    It's cold today, so it's a Neverending White Lights kind of day. But first, the side project, Black Ribbons - Neuromancer. Daniel Victor is one of my favorite songwriters. There's a Depeche Mode feel to a lot of this, so I take to it immediately. https://blackribbons.bandcamp.com/album/neuromancer

    jodis • black curtain

    still might be my favorite thing aaron turner has ever had a hand in. his singing voice is so beautiful and it's nice to hear him really exercising those chops. plus, plotkin's instrumentation is lush and gorgeous, and tim wyskida's drumming is wonderfully restrained and perfectly complimentary. the whole thing feels like what i imagine meditation would be like if i could actually do it.

    well now I have to listen to the whole album since it's been incepted into my head from the Manso...I mean Sexual Asshatery thread.



    The track "Insanity" is basically Danny being peak soundtrack Danny with the Boingo guys doing their level best to show him what a band sounds like as well. The two approaches come together very well for a song that feels like almost all buildup but keep it going for the whole seven minutes.



    'I'm so sorry, please forgive meWho do I pray to to straighten out this problem? (problem)
    Straighten out this problem (problem), straighten out my mind (Mind)
    Straighten out ...this crooked tongue...(x3)

    My mind has wandered, from the straight and narrow
    My mind has wandered from the flock you see
    My mind has wandered, the man just said so
    My mind has wandered I heard it on TV
    And the flock has wandered away from me.

    All around the world now
    Like a big bright cherry cloud
    Traveling from home to home
    TV sets and telephones
    Here it comes just like a storm
    Bathe in it and be reborn
    Time to let the world know
    Welcome madness, ...say hello...(x3)

    Like a wave we cannot see
    Washing over you and me
    Hiding here and hiding there
    Madness hiding everywhere
    Such a curiosity
    Here it comes to set us free
    Plenty left for you and me
    Say hello insanity

    I am the virus, are you the cure?
    I am morally(morally), I'm morally impure(Impure)
    I am a disease and I am unclean
    I am not part of God's well oiled machine
    Christian nation(Nation), assimilate me(me)
    Take me in your arms and set me free
    I am part of a degenerate elite(elite)
    Dragging our society into the street -yeah-
    Into the abyss and to the sewer don't you see
    The man just told me, he told me on TV

    Do you think you're better than me
    Do you want to kill me or befriend me

    And the alcoholic bastard waved his finger at me
    And His voice was filled with evangelical glee
    Sipping down his gin & tonics
    While preaching about the evils of narcotics
    And the evils of sex, (sex) and the wages of sin (Sin)
    While he mentally fondles his next of kin and

    My mind has wandered from the flock you see
    And the flock has wandered away from me
    And he waved his hypnotizing finger at me

    Let's imitate reality (Insanity)
    Let's strive for mediocrity (Insanity)
    Let's make believe we're all the same (Now that's for me)
    Let's sanitize our little brains (Insanity)

    I'd love to take you home with me and tuck you into bed
    I'd love to see what makes you tick inside your pretty head
    I'd love to hear you laugh tonight, I'd love to hear you weep
    I'd love to listen to you while you're screaming in your sleep.

    Christian sons, Christian daughters
    Lead me along like a lamb to the slaughter
    Purify my brain and hose down my soul
    White perfection, perfection is my goal

    Do you think you're better than me
    Do you want to kill me, or befriend me

    Christian nation(nation), make us alright
    Put us through the filter and make us pure and white 'cause'
    My mind has wandered away from me
    And the flock has wandered, away from me

    Let's talk of family values while we sit and watch the slaughter
    Hypothetical abortions on imaginary daughters
    The white folks think they're at the top, ask any proud white male
    A million years of evolution, we get Danny Quayle

    All around the world now
    Like a big bright cherry cloud
    Traveling from home to home
    TV sets and telephones
    Here it comes just like a storm
    Bathe in it and be reborn
    Time to let the world know
    Welcome madness, ...say hello...(x3)

    I'd love to take you home with me, I'd love to tuck you in
    I wish I could protect you from the wages of our sin
    I'd love to hear you scream tonight, I'd love to hear you cry
    Protect you from the madness that is raining from the sky

    Let's imitate reality (Insanity)
    Let's strive for mediocrity (Insanity)
    Let's make believe we're all the same (Now that's for me)
    Let's sanitize our little brains (Insanity)

    I'd love to take you home with me and tuck you into bed
    I'd love to see what makes you tick inside your pretty head
    I wish that I could keep you in a precious Chinese box
    On Sundays I would pray for you so it would never stop
    I'd love to hear you laugh tonight, I'd love to hear you weep
    I'd love to listen to you while you're screaming in your sleep
    I'd love to soothe you with my voice and take your hand in mine
    I'd love to take you past the stars and out of reach of time
    I'd love to see inside your mind, to tear it all apart
    To cut you open with knife and find your sacred heart
    I'd love to take your satin dolls and tear them all to shreds

    I'd love to mess your pretty hair, I'd love to see you dead.'

    It's so fucking good.
    In general, I love slow burn albums much more than instant hooks. The payoff is just so much bigger.

    OK technically I'm listening to all of them today but that's the one for sale.

    "Earth A.D." is on right now, so awesome.

    It's weird to me how a guy known for Limp Bizkit riffs put something this chill out. But then that's also what I really like about music: you never really know what you're going to get out of a person until you listen to it.

    I can't stop listening to this song. I fucking love Enter Shikari. They're NIN-esque with all of the layers and motifs. This song's chorus is the chorus from "No Sleep Tonight" on 2009's Common Dreads and Rou (lead vocals) confirmed that STC is the official "sequel" to NST and he went out of his way to incorporate what is now the chorus of STC into live performances of NST back to 2014.

    They're hard leftists and their music is all about it. They're fucking awesome guys. I was lucky enough to meet Rou quickly in Denver in 2017. I love, love, LOVE this band.

    Enter Shikari's outspoken support for the LBTGQ community and a fucking fun song. It's so catchy and so positive.



    ...and the immediately following song. Angry and fucking fun, too.

    I'll stop posting about Enter Shikari now. I'm drunk and enjoying the fuck out of them right now.

    Okay, I lied. One more.

    This is an appeal
    To the struggling and striving
    Stakeholders of this planet
    This floating rock we call Earth
    Alas, that means you
    That means everyone of your acquaintance
    Every figure your eyes skim past in the street
    Every charlatan still to defeat
    Every tender face you find solace in
    Now mimic the mindset William Wallace was in
    Dismount
    Disembark
    Descend from your existence
    Slacken your angst and decant your hate
    'Cause in the long run they're about as useful
    As pouring acid onto your dinner plate
    To muzzled masses that lead lives
    Of deafening desperation
    With Excalibur aloft King Arthur earned the throne
    But it's our minds we got to wrench out of the stone
    Don't be fooled by its simplicity
    There was never a broadcast made of such urgency
    'Cause at no time before us
    Did we grasp the scope of this emergency
    Ladle out love and logic by the boatload
    Equipped with that cargo you can take any road
    Now grab life
    Seize time
    This fight is for human kind
    ...and then that filthy bass drop at 1:57.

    to quote me from the "Best of 2020" thread:
    If I could write a love letter to Enter Shikari I seriously would. I saw the video to the first single from their 2020 album Nothing Is True and Everything Is Possible and it entranced me. Something about the production of the song, the production of the video, the singing, the dancing, the lyrics...I don't know what it was, but I watched it probably ten times. Then instead of just listening to the album Mothership from a live show came up. This is...this is not my usual genre of music at all, but that Motherstep intro (as I eventually learned the name of) was enough of a hook to keep me there and the energy of that song and the band live was a lot. Like a lot a lot. I fell down a rabbit hole watching their videos and live shows and quarantine bits and I can't tell you the last time I felt this excited about a band. About anything, really. Like I'm a teenager again finding that band. I tried listening to their albums in order like I usually do when I find a new band and I couldn't do it, it didn't sound right to me, and I found that it's because I wasn't a hardcore kid. I was too old for it, but I'm not too old for their current sound. I can work backwards though, so I'm currently on Mindsweep and it's growing on me. Flash Flood and Common Dreads are both good but I'm sticking to Mindsweep for the moment, going slow.

    I mean, to find a band that is talking a talk that is exactly what I'm feeling in a year like? I'm not putting it into words well but as the kids say it's hitting me in the feels.

    It's weird, yeah? 2020 is weird.
    Right now it's a hard tie between Stop the Clocks and Undercover Agents for best song.

    Watching their live videos, I have no idea how they get their studio sounds without a fifth member on stage. And I know there's a possibility for programming but the spontaneity of their quickfire rounds make it seem so unrehearsed, like it's happening right there in front of you, that it's like watching a magician sometimes. you know it's not real but you can't see the feint.

    We want your homes, we want your hearts, we want the things that you won't allow us, we won't use guns, we won't use bombs, we'll use the one thing we have more of, our minds.

    Sparks

    I've dipped the occasional toe into the Sparks catalogue over the years, but due to promotion of Edgar Wright's upcoming documentary The Sparks Brothers I've ended up listening to quite a lot. I love it.
