To celebrate my great milestone of working toward being the STRONG, INDEPENDENT and FIERCE half-baked Norwegian Viking grumpy light house keeper that I am - I got my #spotify back. EVERYTHING SUCKS! I've tried them all and Spotify is the best. Danheim & Heldom - Undergang #music #growth #independent https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mWWEq7hmEQ0

I'm not.

I just left a message for Sen. Angus King to ask him to vote No on today's cloture vote and against the GOP House's Continuing Resolution to keep the government funded past midnight. (Susan Collins is a lost cause.) His DC mailbox is full, but Mainers can leave a message at the Portland office at (207) 245-1565. With any luck, he'll get the message. Even if he doesn't, it's a good idea to make your voice heard. #Politics ##Democracy #Democrats #Independent #Maine #US #USpol

Even though we can observe a 180° turn done by the #USA in attitude to #Ukraine, we should not give in. #Europe must be #independent. We must not rely on #America, because their administrations from now on are unreliable. During hard times like now, the #EU must stay #united. Europe must be a country capable of competing with other hostile empires like #China. We are #European, we have only #oneEurope. #EuropeanArmy now, #federaliseEurope then.
#TogetherWeStandDividedWeFall #ViveLaEurope

Another good move of #Europe - #France has publicly said that it will not accept any attempts or #demilitarisation of #Ukraine.

However, we still need more of #EuropeanIntegration and #European unanimity to be better heard. Euorope must be #independent, because there is only #oneEurope.

We will thrive in today’s world only #together.

Lie Down With Dogs is a 1995 directorial debut comedy feature film written, directed, produced and starring Wally White

"This really is a swirling fusion of man, machine, worlds and wires, and although I haven't seen the film yet I'm sure it works a treat with the distinctive cinematography"

maybe just me, but the feed seems awfully quiet on the "bandcamp(c)(tm)(r) friday" front.
which means there should be plenty of oxygen in the room for my own suggestions :P

granted, the world is burning , and simultaneously flooding, and we got measles and an all-you-can-infect flu buffet going on. but in these times, its important to remember that what we *can* still do for others matters.
supporting one another and making the days a little less painful is important. think of the last time someone made you smile or laugh in spite of the trauma that is our every day lives.
also, i think absolute good is often characterized by being two ways. when you do real good, you make someone else happier and yourself happier.
so if you like the music an artist is making, throw them a $1 or $2. their music makes you happy and your support will make their day.

so if any of you are you interested in #ambient #soundscapes with a healthy dose of #noise but often times weaving a solid #rhythmic section in and out of that fabric... i would highly recommend you check out my comrade @rybson . you can grab music and support them at their bandcamp:
https://xymmusic.bandcamp.com/
been studying a ton of stuff this week, and "lofi microtonal beats to avoid brain damage to" as well as the album "gomi 三" have made for an excellent study soundtrack.

if you would like something less abstract, but more #techno #industrial #ebm #dance oriented while very explicitly attacking the powers that be and being driven by the wildest (i mean, seriously, the fucking wildest) #drum #beats doused in just the right amount of #distortion you need to check out my other comrade, @controlfreak
https://music.control.org/
anything you can contribute to him would be greatly appreciated by me personally so that we can crowdfund the making of his next masterpiece :D

or you know support someone you care about it. even small amounts. our power lies in our numbers and the quality of our interactions. we don't need the corpos, we don't need a special day or a branded campaign brought to you by roland, or us bank.

take care of another and stay radical.
