Music Tuesday #247: War is coming

I don´t know if this is teenage angst, Weltschmerz or just a someone spending way too much time in a dark home studio.  The output throws me back to the 80s and its darkest, most threatening pop sounds.  Chaos reigns in the background of this song, the base and guitar urge you to run away.  There is this vague unformtableness which I like in music: I don't need happy songs, give me something I can chew on and put on repeat.

Music Tuesday #083: The Belgian Stooges

When everything is the same and you can't find any change in an endless monotone landscape you would be bored to death.  That is why people go to the sea or climb mountains.  When there is an end, a cravasse, a feature which is unique there you will find mankind.  We need something else to feel alive.  I will give you La Muerte this week.   Although the name sounds like they're a Latin band, they're definitely not. Do you know them?  They have been a band from Brussels since 1983.  And just like Brussels who gets its character by being squeezed between the Flemish, Walloon and European expat forces, these guys have been molded by many musical trends and influences.  As a result, think blues meets heavy-metal, with some synth thrown for good measure.  This is not for the fainthearted. But this does cleanse the soul. La Muerte - Crash Baby, Crash https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NR3SH6lGBZk

This band is not neutral, this song certainly isn't.  I like music that has something to say.  Enjoy. Anti-Flag - American Attraction (Acoustic) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6INbXgIB6P0 Anti-Flag - American Attraction (Original version) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w008c1-fHIk

Music Tuesday #218: Dead Bob says punk is alive

Dead Bob is John Wright, of NomeansNo/Hanson Brothers/Mr Wright & Mr Wrong/Show Business Giants/Compressorhead/DOA/Ford Pier/Godzballs fame.  I was so looking forward to this album.  And finally here it is.  And now I have to choose a song which should trigger you to listen to the Nomeansno back catalog, of which only a tiny portion can be found on Spotify. Youtube will be your friend for this music. Expect the unexpected.  You will hear punk amongst other influences.  Because not doing what is expected is very punk.   Dead Bob - Life Like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r6uN28ccvHM Dead Bob - I'm Going to Make you Cry https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gvQse0TUaJM
