Sometimes I just post music without any political agenda.
This has many of the trappings of death metal (blast beats, indecipherable screamed lyrics, heavy distortion) but the harmonic and melodic content is much more sophisticated, and more importantly, doesn't make much use of whole tone, octatonic, or minor scales. In fact as a peice, it feels overwhelmingly positive.
If the Satanic death metal of the 1980s and 1990s was a reaction against conservative christian culture by thumbing it's nose at orthodox by embracing a negation of those values on the terms of that which is negated, (Satanism as an inside joke for Atheists) this music (and Liturgy, I'd include as well) has a post-nihilist positivity that is now firmly standing on it's own grounds, and operating not in negation to what came before, but in a statement of position in the affirmative.
Yes there is still meaninglessness, but we can create our own meaning. There is a sort of euphoric feel to this album on top of, or inside of, the white knuckle terror of staring into the void.

[MUSIC] Cuddle Magic
I can't stop listening to this album.
Also, after discovering this band and not knowing who was in it, I found out that somebody my brother and I went to high school with is a member of this Brooklyn-based chamber ensemble. Small world. Especially when you're from Maine.

[MUSIC] Jacob Augustine: Frontier
Local musical superhero Jacob Augustine has been sharing a lot of content from The Punk Patriot recently, and I feel the need to return the favor. Everybody should know about Jacob Augustine. This is his album from 2011, "Frontier".
(Also my friends Megan Martelle and Kate Beever appear on the album playing violin and pitched percussion.)

Hipter Cop Hates Music, Ironically
"Hipster Cop," a plainclothes detective with a love for Ralph Lauren, became an internet sensation last fall when he was spotted looking very fashionable while patrolling an Occupy Wall Street protest. Naturally, his photo spawned an internet meme a fake Facebook profileand even a GQ profile about his fashion sense. Well now, Hipster Cop, a.k.a. 45-year-old Rick Lee, is returning with the Occupy protests this spring. Check out this video of him yelling at musicians to turn down the music and threatening to revoke their sound permit. It looks like Lee wants to be less like a hipster and more like a cop now.

When will the Revolution come? [Full Version]
When will the revolution come?
I don't know
but I bet it will be fun.
Didn't Jesus feed the poor?
I don't know
but he doesn't anymore (it's up to us now)
CHORUS:
My heart is filled with broken glass
and I know in my soul that this cannot last
kicking all the kids out in the street
but they land on their feet
and they're marching to the beat
of their own drum
Why are you willing to kill?
Son, I've got to kill
cuz I gotta pay my bills
When will we end all the wars?
The wars will end when we figure out
what the fuck we're fighting for
CHORUS
When will the empire fall?
I don't know, but when it does
I won't feel so small
When will the Revolution come?
I don't know, but I
bet it will be fun.
CHORUS

[Music] The Whole F**king Thing Is Coming Down
Lyrics:
Hedge funds, derivatives, tea pot dome
wall street gambling, using your home
congress isn't gonna do a single fucking thing
because their campaign contributions all come attached to strings
The Democratic Party is a failing institution
what we need now is a real revolution
The United States is a global empire
The Factory owner is a fucking vampire
sucking wealth from the poor
committing wage theft
who will work for you when we've starved to death?
CHORUS: And the whole fucking thing is coming down x4
I work full time in a factory
but that doesn't mean I can afford to eat
I've got student loans, but no degree
so I'm gonna die working at a machine
No health insurance, we're all temporary hires
so if we get sick we'll just hurry up and die
wages so low we can't afford the rent
so we have to rely on the government
but the rich man doesn't want to pay his taxes
so the social programs, they'll all get the axe
we don't complain, we don't bitch
the only thing we've got left to eat is the rich
CHORUS: and the whole fucking thing is coming down x4

Things like this remind me that I still have so much to learn about video, and/or synthesizing electronic music.

We Can Build Up a Village by PunkPatriot
We can build up a village
We can tear it apart
the singular difference
is what lays in your heart
We can build up a village
We can tear it apart
the singular difference
