and next some artsy indy pop/rock from early 00s. this has a nice atmosphere, and the lyrics are a weird mix of hopeful optimism and ominous war prophesy, so a fitting song for our times i guess.

that has always been my favourite of cmx's songs.

watch it, listen it. now.

oh dear, some of my teenage friends on tv (of course not teenagers any more), namely two of the minerva members.

i don't think the video is original to the song, but whoever has combined the song with the video has made perfect work.

buahaha, music show for young people, and they ask people to send faxes :D

that was really something unexpected :D

now, let's aim for new lows: a parody song about the futility of repairing an old car. as a bass boosted version, of course.

this seems to be a whole genre, in fact, making parody versions about the futility of repairing old cars.

I know that what the news write about this war is always propaganda to one way or another. But that doesn't mean I don't get annoyed when every person interviewed, up to military officials, just keeps saying that we can't understand why Russia attacked the nuclear plant.

I mean, Russia has claimed that Ukraine is trying to get nuclear weapons. Isn't the first priority in such a situation then to try to get control of Ukrainian nuclear facilities?

@lawremipsum hmmmmm, for me it was more like ”i was fucked up, but because i was also g&t i didn't become a dropout in society's eyes”

what are your methods of finding out if a metal band is nazis or not?

argh, i hate how when discussing new tram lines, which is good, it's very common to list raising property prices as one of the benefits.

no! it's not a benefit, it means that less people can afford to live close to the new tram line!

Surprisingly few people know that the word 'anime' actually comes from the French phrase 'à Nîmes', which literally means 'to [the city of] Nîmes'.

@schratze hot take: fan fiction is like vegan alternatives to meat. real vegans only consume original indy stories. :trollface:
