"Madre de Deus" is the second single from Vox Vulgaris' upcoming album "Early Music for Late Humanity". Over a hypnotic groove, with jamming bagpipes and trumpets of doom, a choir begins to chant a tune from 13th century Spain. Out today on all streaming services:

I hear that the excellent leftist publisher Edition Nautilus is in some economic trouble, so if you read German this is a good time to support them by buying some of their titles. Lots of political manifests, critical essays and radical history. I just ordered the biographies of Franz Jung and Nestor Machno, plus Hans-Christian Dany's Speed.

Slavoj Žižek:
"In today’s messy times, one should prefer hypocrisy to brutal reality, plus one should prefer the moderate center to the radical Right: yes, this center swims in hypocrisy, but this very hypocrisy leaves the space open for criticism (attacking those in power for not living up to their proclaimed principles); yes, the new populist Right is a symptom of the failures of the moderate center (it is the hypocrisy of the liberal center which enabled the growth of new Rightist populism), but the direct reign of Rightist populism nonetheless remains the threat of an unimaginable catastrophe.
/.../
The sad conclusion is thus that Israel and Hamas/Iran, UK anti-immigrant racists and Muslim fanatics, they all play the same game: the game of total war which can only end in their mutual destruction, and which is a false conflict obfuscating the true cause of troubles, the dynamic of global capitalism. In other words, I am not advocating a soft gradualist politics – quite on the contrary, the only way to lay the foundation for a radical change to come is to avoid false conflicts"

@bibliolater Norwegian was certainly not a surprising answer

My band, Vox Vulgaris, just released a new single:

"A percussive jam is joined by heavy brass, before the two bagpipes take on a medieval French melody from the late 15th century Bayeux Manuscript."

"Trading People Like Little Wrappers"
Belarusian anarchist collective Pramen writes about the most recent prisoner exchange:

I'm talking about this band (or rather music collective): https://oursolarsystem.bandcamp.com/

Does anybody know if #Bandcamp may allow an artist to regain access to their own page?
I've played in a band which did once released a few albums through a US record label, which also set up our Bandcamp page.
But today that record label is defunct and we've had no success in reaching the people who once ran it. Would be great if we could get access to our own page as we now have some new #music to distribute.

@mook It still has, but a large bit of it has moved into the Russian anti-war diaspora with artists like Buttechno giving active support for Ukrainian causes.
Not to forget the Ukrainian electronic music scene which is great and (musically) tends to have a bit more humour than its Russian counterpart.

Names that I personally recognize on the line-up for Outline, that commercial (oligarch-run) techno festival in the Moscow area:
Ishome, Locked Club (=Cream Soda), Слава КПСС, Rambal Crochet, Geju... which are all Russian artists.
The only significant Western artist booked to Outline was Atom™ who is apparently an ignorant idiot. He also now seems to have been cancelled by Berghain (removed from the program for upcoming Klubnacht) for playing in Russia.

This week, Our Solar System released a new album, recorded live at Fylkingen (Stockholm) in 2015.

"Our Ocean System is a more floating and fluid adventure than usual, leaving out drums and bass, instead starring a lush instrumentation of cello, Theremin, Mellotron, grand piano, organ pipes, water bowls, recorders, electric guitar, violin, voices, bells and more…"

(I don't remember this occasion too well, except that I did blow some old organ pipes, maybe I also played some clarinet.)

14/ Crimea had an extremely dry winter in 2023-24, with only 10-50% of the normal precipitation overall and only 17% of the normal mountain precipitation. Rivers have dried up and reservoirs are already severely depleted, as seen here in the case of the Bilohirs'ke reservoir.

Today I recorded this dubby mix:

Here's a recording of the set I played at Bar Babajan in Stockholm last Monday, all music made by producers from Eastern Europe (i.e. Ukraine, Russia) and Latin America.

@tkinias @CitizenWald @CoinOfNote I have heard the baroque, and concluded that early modern elites had their taste located in the ears, not in the eyes.
