L@zzerot's other side (how long, how long will I slide?) blog If you recognize this graffiti (no you don't) please abide by urbex courtesy and don't give out its location. Thanks :) I post about history and while I try to give content warnings I often forget that this blog is actually visible to other people, so you might encounter posts about genocide, forced labor, colonialism or other sensitive topics. Oh and sometimes I also post oddly specific music recommendations, which are more like diary entries to myself.

you can either make me take amazing photos or let me enjoy a show, so here are my bad pics from the Shortparis show from last Friday. Loved it, made me wish I didn't stop learning Russian just because my teacher and I had some very different opinions about the war in Ukraine. (That fact and the fact that the class started at 8 AM at the other end of town really didn't work in his favor)

pics of the venue + the exhibit there which I took before security told us it's off limits below the cut

found the ideal song rotation today and it's this

song of the day that I can't elaborate on without the fear of doxxing myself

[torezzal]

in a similar vein: This was the only song I ever bought off iTunes back when I used my cousin's hand-me-down iPhone. I used to be so obsessed with it after watching Rainbow: Nisha rokubou no shichinin and I recently recalled it for some reason and I gotta say it still slaps, was worth the 2€ or whatever I paid for it back then.

Headphone warning I guess, but it's metalcore, what do you expect?

[torezzal]

I guess you could say ... we're not alone ;)

sorry for the terrible pun, I just had to

I almost forgor: my belated birthday present arrived.

For some reason spoofy thinks I'm really into Belgian artists and keeps recommending them to me (I think it might be because of Altın Gün? But it also keeps recommending me french speaking Belgian artists so it can't be language based) and today I got these bangers.

still one of the best Sbassbear remixes

My safe for tumblr, but not very target audience focused new years resolution is to finally learn the nautical flag alphabet in 2024. That or morse code.

I would pay (ironic, I know) to have Aleksa and Alex read Das Kapital and/or the Communist Manifesto to me like a bed time story. They got some of the most soothing voices out there and I'd even be willing to trade the English translation for the German version. Just an idea for more Patreon content ;)

I have this stuck in my head for days now, please someone make it stooop, it was so fucking funny at first but now I'm starting to genuinely enjoy it as a song and I hate it

[torezzal]

song of yesterday

[torezzal]

song of today

(so sad the video that angered the Kremlin is now deleted, maybe I can find it somewhere else than on youtube, will update asap)

Edit: apparently Lazarev isn't as Kremlin critical anymore, money made him lick Putin's boots:

[torezzal]

Shouldn't have posted a Ton Steine Scherben song because now I keep rewatching this fucking gem of German TV history XD

American Service-Members' Protection Act - Wikipedia

I thought this was a joke for a solid 3 milliseconds. Why couldn't this have been a joke. I still find it unbelieveable that that's real, but I also thought the Office of Insular Affairs still existing must've been a joke.

When you casually look over at the KEXP tab only to experience the shock of seeing triple parentheses in both the artist's and the song's name and you instantly start going down a research rabbit hole about the artist and find nothing significant so you have to tell yourself over and over again that this is an American artist who probably has no idea what they've unleashed since they don't spend a large amount of their free time informing themselves about neo-nazis and the alt-right.

Love you KEXP but please don't scare me like that again.
