Another month gone bye
A new one arrives

Video unavailable

[boredjedi]

Yeah, I know the uploader turned off embedding. You have to watch on youtube. It's the only one of that version.

[boredjedi]

"Video unavailable Playback on other websites has been disabled by the video owner" I didn't check right away. I just left it.

Love misfits, especially this album. Too bad Michale Graves is an open and out member of a fascist terrorist organisation

The artists I like nearly always turn out to be horrible people. Can't catch a damn break

[chuft]

Life is like a banana. Eat the flesh and throw away the peel. No sense in throwing out the whole thing. Just enjoy the good parts and discard the rest.

I love Tom Cruise science fiction movies. I don't love the Church of Scientology. Tom Cruise may be a weirdo or worse, but I don't let it keep me from enjoying his movies. Same with Mel Gibson. I love the Max Max movies. His personal beliefs and behavior are irrelevant to me. All I care about is his art.

If you enjoy the music - then enjoy it for its own sake. He'd probably be annoyed thinking someone like you is getting enjoyment out of his work, which should make it even more enjoyable.

Edge of Tomorrow is a spectacular Sci-Fi. It ramps up even more in 3D. One of my favorites along with Oblivion (not the Bethesda game).

[chuft]

I like War of the Worlds and Minority Report. Edge of Tomorrow was good, I should get it on DVD.

Nice song

[chuft]

Yeah it's got a very 80s sound even though it's 2016.

I see what you mean, but:

1: He would probably LIKE me listening to his music, since I'm lining his pockets and I hate giving money to people I don't think need any more of it

2: I don't know if you're punk or not, but surely you can see the oxymoron in calling yourself a "fascist punk" or "conservative punk". It cancels itself out and, to be a bit over dramatic, goes against the core values and spirit of punk

[possessor]

we can all at least agree kanye west is never coming back. screw graduation.

[chuft]

Yeah I can see you not wanting to give him money. But today most artists get all their income from concerts, the economics of the music industry have changed dramatically because hardly anyone buys records, they just stream or listen to youtube. So I wouldn't worry about him getting rich off you buying a MP3 or a CD. I read his wiki and those concert cancellations are hitting him in the pocketbook trust me.

I'm not punk but I've been around awhile and there have been racist right wing skinheads since the 1970s. In fact that was kind of the dominant strain at least for awhile. When I see a skinhead I tend to assume they are a fascist racist punk. But I had a punk friend in college and he was the nicest guy around. Had a heck of a mohawk too. So I think punks are divided on these "issues" like everyone else.

Bottom line do your thing and don't let someone else spoil it for you.
