Band Features & Music Thoughts

Leaning punk and indie rock, sometimes branching out. Writing about bands I’m loving that I want to learn more about and share with my friends :)

“Rappers only talk about their money, cars, and clothes!”

Why might someone from a group of people that historically have been denied access to wealth, now brag that they have it?

“Rappers only talk about sex!”

Why might someone from a group that have historically been denied sexual autonomy now brag about their sexual escapades on their own terms?

“Rappers only talk about drugs and crime!”

Why might someone from a group that historically have been denied the more legal means to acquire wealth and had drugs forced on their community talk about their experiences with it?

riding in the backseat of someone else’s car is such an important way to discover new music

just realized listening to The Downward Spiral is the exact inverse of this. you get through a concept album about depression and suicide culminating in literally the single saddest song ever written, the album art is made with medical gauze and dead moths and dried blood, the album was written and recorded in the same house Sharon Tate was murdered in, all the contemporary tour footage has Trent on stage 100 pounds soaking wet with most of that being hair scream-crying into his mic begging someone to please kill him. and then you look up "Trent Reznor today" and he shaved his head and got yoked and started a family and won 20 Grammies

you cannot make a post about how men put women in certain boxes without someone going "but what if i love the box? what if i've decided that it's comfortable in the box? are you gonna tell me i'm not ALLOWED to like the box? not very feminist of you to police a woman's decisions... maybe you'd be less ugly and miserable if you stopped talking about the box LMFAO #Girlboss #MyBox<3"

[helenekuragina]

inevitably this has hit the terf circle of tumblr so let me be very clear that if trans women aren't included in your feminism you are actively participating in the same boxing in of women that this post is speaking out against and ridiculing. you're just following the exact same disgusting bioessentialist rhetoric as men to justify why you refuse to accept trans women as women. the entire point of this post is that the limitations of gender are something that should be broken down, not reworked for you to girlbossify so you feel comfortable continuing to live within the confines of a society that hates you. you look stupid

Bodies, Noise and Power in Industrial Music

A solid book of essays about industrial music.

Grt it from my Google Drive HERE

Description Below

This edited collection delves into the industrial music genre, exploring the importance of music in (sub)cultural identity formation, and the impact of technology on the production of music. With its roots as early as the 1970s, industrial music emerged as a harsh, transgressive, and radically charged genre. The soundscape of the industrial is intense and powerful, adorned with taboo images, and thematically concerned with authority and control. Elemental to the genre is critical engagement with configurations of the body and related power. Adopting an interdisciplinary approach, this collection analyses the treatment of subjects like the Body (animal, human, machine), Noise (rhythmic, harsh) and Power (authority, institutions, law) in a variety of industrial music’s elements. Throughout the collection, these three subjects are interrogated by examining lyrics, aesthetics, music videos, song writing, performance and audience reception. The chapters havebeen carefully selected to produce a diverse and intersectional perspective, including work on Black industrial musicians and Arabic and North African women’s collaborations. Rather than providing historical context, the contributors interpret the finer elements of the aesthetics and discourses around physical bodies and power as expressed in the genre, expanding the ‘industrial’ boundary and broadening the focus beyond white European industrial music.
