oops accidently got 1200+ (and counting) people on twitter to watch 'A song called hate' they will crush the reddit page that pirates it

It sure would be lovely if they had some proper channels to make the film available, this really is THE time to share this film with the world

[hat-ari]

if anything is to represent Europe's political sentimens in early 2020s in the annals of history, I'd be glad for it to be this

what if 15yo Trent Reznor was a gay vampire and it was a 2004 scifi B-movie and there's transformers and post-apocalyptic ghostbusters and he sings about how sleepy he is

If someone listens to Vesna and only catches the ‘feminist girl-power’ layer, and not the ‘sister=🇺🇦 crown=sovereignty Slavic solidarity against 🇷🇺 aggression’ layer, the line “no one wants more boys dead” has to sound.... 😂 Threatening?

This is going to sound crazy, but I kind of felt Dansið eða deyið, the tour, and the music video, was the coda or conclusion of an anti-capitalist tale told by Hatari. (I know it was from an earlier song they wrote years ago, having listened to it many times). And that would inevitably mean an end to their performances.

The video was incredibly nostalgic, with reference to all of the interviews, Iceland Music News stuff, and Eurovision. It's the handshake in the video, the eurovision routine being acted out by little hatari, and even the message in the song itself, that seemed to summise an anthology of the corruption in everyday life. To dance or die. It's impossible to live an anti-capitalist life when our only option is to earn money to eat and have a home. Either we make money or we dont live. I've always seen the music as part of a performance, like theatre, so each song tells us a tale of capitalism and the expectations in society we face. I think of William Blake's Songs of Innocence and Experience. So, being a performance or a story, it does have an end. I just didn't want to admit to myself that it was indeed the end of something. It does mark the end of an era, which is sad.

I'm not sure if there will be more performances in the future, but I feel like it will be very different, if Matthias did decide to get into it again.

However, I think it's a very honourable thing to get a full-time job and to take care of one's family, and make that a priority. Matthias is totally right to stop doing something he doesn't enjoy anymore. And it is exhausting to combat capitalism every day or to keep thinking about it. There is some irony that Matthias is a copywriter, writing to sell products, something that might manifest itself in his screenplays, perhaps! As he says, the writer never dies.

Aside from that, going on holiday or getting takeout with friends, or buying a new pair of shoes, or spending time with family - those things are what makes life pleasant, they are comforting, and they are totally needed. Sometimes, it is better for one's mental well-being to take the sedative rather than feel the constant pain of the world's injustices.

What I really want to know is, what will happen to all that pleather?

[hat-ari]

I remember seeing the last MV and thinking. This is a conclusion. A full circle. A dot at the end of a sentence. A goodbye, perhaps

my favourite mythical creature is the Dansið Eða Deyið EP

here we are, 2022, Ástrós expecting a baby, Matthías expecting a baby, Klemens expecting like third baby, Dísa from Iceland Music News is now one of the most popular singers in Iceland...

let’s just *fingers crossed* that this year co*vid spikes and tour schedule will miss each other, and the concerts and new music will be bestowed on us, at long last

that’s my generous wish to you all. Mwah
