Somewhat GiP/Current Events, new GY!BE album dropping

"'G_d�s Pee AT STATE�S END!' posted:

1. A Military Alphabet (five eyes all blind) (4521.0kHz 6730.0kHz 4109.09kHz) / Job�s Lament / First of the Last Glaciers / where we break how we shine (ROCKETS FOR MARY)
2. Fire at Static Valley
3. �GOVERNMENT CAME� (9980.0kHz 3617.1kHz 4521.0 kHz) / Cliffs Gaze / cliffs� gaze at empty waters� rise / ASHES TO SEA or NEARER TO THEE
4. OUR SIDE HAS TO WIN (for D.H.)

we wrote it on the road mostly. when that was still a place.
and then recorded it in masks later, distanced at the beginning of the second wave.
it was autumn, and the falling sun was impossibly fat and orange.
we tried to summon a brighter reckoning there,
bent beneath varied states of discomfort, worry and wonderment.

we fired up the shortwave radios again, for the first time in a long time.
and found that many things had changed.
the apocalypse pastors were still there, but yelling END TIMES NOW where they once yelled "end times soon".
and the transmission-detritus of automated militaries takes up more bandwidth now,
so that a lot of frequencies are just pulses of rising white static,
digital codexes announcing the status of various watching and killing machines.
and the ham-radio dads talk to each other all night long.
about their dying wives and what they ate for lunch and what they'll do with their guns when antifa comes.

this record is about all of us waiting for the end.
all current forms of governance are failed.
this record is about all of us waiting for the beginning,
and is informed by the following demands=
empty the prisons
take power from the police and give it to the neighbourhoods that they terrorise.
end the forever wars and all other forms of imperialism.
tax the rich until they're impoverished.

much love to all the other lost and lovely ones,
these are death-times and our side has to win.
we'll see you on the road once the numbers fall.

Hmm yes a prominent politician calling for you to resign following credible sexual assault allegations is the same as a pig cop kneeling on your neck until you die. Go gently caress yourself, Fairfax.

FYI, here's who he was sharing the stage with when he made that comment:

Yeah coincidentally the line-up shakes out roughly as:

code:

THE LEFT---------------------------THE LEFT---------------------------A SEXUAL ABUSER---------------------------THE RIGHT---------------------------THE RIGHT

Haven't been following the VA Governor's race too closely but Jennifer Foy (far left) seems pretty decent if not quite as openly

as Comrade Lee.

Jennifer McClellan (far right) is tied pretty closely into the Kaine / Warner / McAuliffe side of the party and is probably a DNC back-up in case McAuliffe flames out.

US, Israel, Saudi Arabia. Pick 2?

Lol if you think the Saudis have the competency to do more than blow up some school buses and eat one-way drones.

Eh, I bet they could be capable enough to get a janitor in there to turn off the breakers at the right time at the least. Not at like... stuxnet 2 or anything tho.

I dunno, they seem to be wasting all their money on other things at the moment.

How is it that everything David Lynch does just becomes even more Lynchian as it ages?

I didn't realize just how bad it's gotten in india. Modi's government has apparently quadrupled down on the "strong man say Covid gone" approach to to the virus and had even been exporting vaccines specifically for international clout. All the while encouraging massive superspreader events and promoting bullshit traditional medicine cures.

As bad as the 'official' Indian numbers are, the reality on the ground looks to be astronomically worse:

Yuengling's not the worst cheap beer, but the current head of the family's a pro-Trump, anti-union chud so screw giving them any money.

Cooper's ain't bad for an Aussie beer, you can even get it stateside occasionally.

Really though Leinenkugel is the superior hard-to-spell regional beer, and this from someone who's from PA :colbert:
