It was very surreal here. I felt like Cillian Murphy in 28 days later. City completely empty. No people. No traffic.
Minus the virus zombies of course. Though.... heh
A song and music video from 7 years ago.
Intro:
"Music. One of man's greatest achievements.
Is quickly becoming more popular with each passing day.
We invite you to follow along. As our scientists work in teams of the future.
Where music is created not by man but by machines

Oh I think you will. In your lifetime the fossil fuels thing will have to end if we are to avoid broiling ourselves to death. Everybody hopes it will be replaced with renewables, but it may instead just be a drastic dialing back of living standards that are based on cheap energy, and a move to much lower energy consumption. Homes will have to be built within walking or biking distance to workplaces, and food grown locally instead of shipped frozen from thousands of miles away, as it was in the past. Either way - renewables or just cut in living standards - I don't think the fossil fuels pollution can continue for that much longer. There is already an insurance crisis in the US caused by global warming, a lot of states where insurance companies cannot make a profit because of extreme climate effects and it is getting worse every year, I have seen the charts. These are not even coastal states. They are inland - heat waves, droughts, sudden massive flooding from rain, wildfires. It is affecting crops and food production too. Rising sea levels are a serious problem already in some areas and will get worse. Fresh water is starting to become a problem in many places.
The right wingers of the older generations that control the corporations and the governments are acting like greedy fools - our governor removed all references to climate change in our laws and regulations, funding is cut to scientists and universities studying it, the president is allowing more oil drilling and cutting funding to wind turbines - they are destroying their own childrens' futures, they think with enough money they can always find a place that is safe from it for their own families. But I think the generation coming after will make needed changes. Already people here are being priced out of their homes by the insurance cost due to hurricanes. When I drive around I see what look like hills, but they are not hills, they are landfills, mounds of garbage covered over with grass to make artificial hills of garbage. Everything comes in plastic, it is building up not just in the earth and ocean but in our bodies, our arteries and brains. The way we are living is not sustainable in any way and it will end.
You are young enough that I think you will live to see the air and water start to become clean again.
Evil, greedy men must be defeated if we are to survive.

Such a weird remix of this song. The actual vocal song starts at 5:28. Quite a long intro.
I heard this song yesterday. The original video clip has two man fighting which looks like one from Russia and one from the United States.

This is the 12" version that I heard back then all the time. Very different.

My air-band mates and I all had Frankie T-shirts with sayings like "Frankie Say: Relax - Don't Do It" "Frankie Say: Arm the Unemployed" etc. We did a dance number to "Relax" for the air-band contest at college and won. Choreographed by our gay leader Jeff. His T-shirt was white letters on black instead of black on white. That is how I met my second and main college girlfriend Suzanne (together for 5 years).

FGtH released some singles like Relax and Two Tribes which got everyone all excited about this new band. We waited for what seemed forever for their album. Then it finally came out. It was an odd collection of songs, a double album with some very gay art when you opened the folding cover. This song is a slow burn, too long for the dance floor but great for listening. The "short" version for the music video was "only" 8 minutes lol. This is the full album version.
Album produced by Trevor Horn, who produced ABC's Lexicon of Love (probably the best 80's album) and was in Art of Noise and The Buggles (Video Killed the Radio Star - first video on MTV).
Those were the days.l i t t l es t e p h e r sNote

HIV was a real demon virus, killing a lot of our most creative people like Holly Johnson and Freddie Mercury in their prime. Just when gay people were feeling like they could come out of the closet and give us great art and music and plays and poetry and designer clothing and dance, this horrible virus cut them down and destroyed their lifestyle of pleasure and joy and creative expression. It was a cruel and terrible thing to witness. And it took years to even figure out what was killing them, I remember it all very vividly. A lot of discrimination meant mainstream society was very slow to care and spend money to research the problem and look for solutions like anti-retrovirals.
I attended a lecture by Robert Gallo, the co-discoverer of the HIV virus, about retroviruses at UCLA in the 1980's.l i t t l es t e p h e r sNote
