oh that's beautiful!

i hope you enjoy it! it always warms me

aw makes sense! it does feel like it divides opinion a lot when people make really simple/predictable tunes like this. i love this style and all the abba/elo songs it reminds me of but i see why someone wouldn't

as for your list, did you dislike 'nobody's son' for the lyrics? because i think the composition and production are so killer that they justify them i guess. the guy could be withdrawing just as insincerely - that's a possibility i haven't seen discussed lol

really interesting discussion, i agree that we can't be mean willy nilly, we need so much honesty about what our criteria for enjoying/approving of music is. if we establish that, we can get kinda mean on that throughline i guess :)

at first i thought you meant subjecting them to that steamroller thing from who framed roger rabbit

huh interesting, i was sure it was a soldier before i looked closer

If you define yourself as "anti-imperialist" you have to clutch at straws to defend one of the most blatant imperial land grabs of the 21st century.

Very simple: 🪛 you, you will never have a balancing test, an algorithm, a touchstone, there are no Jews or gentiles whose opinions are decisive on this *nor are there many whose opinions you can reject, nor are they all equal and consistent*.

You're just going to have to use your brains...

it's horrible. beginning to get there here in alberta as trans and public healthcare is dismantled slowly.

dubway is what i named the subway network i'm crayoning for detroit (i also made drail and dreetcars). but dubway is my favourite because of the rich history of house/techno music in detroit

a beautiful alt text! lucky you to have this view!

no jewish response to it, even if it involves horrible atrocities to an unrelated group like the idf does, can overcome that power dynamic. the beliefs that euro antisemitism holds about jews is The Biggest factor - israel can't make or break this stuff. it's horrific enough in its actual impact

well, there's a pretty unbroken streak of societies harbouring a belief that their jewish neighbours are dangerous invaders. take the 1920 tetiyev pogrom for an example. what i'm saying is israel is just a successful dumping ground organized by the same type of hatred that was on display at bondi.
