There is at least one Islamic all-girl heavy metal band that hasn’t been honor killed (yet) in the world’s most populace Islamic country, Indonesia. Voice of Baceprot. And they are not half bad.

@ Jake

Right. I wake up in the morning and immediately I’m consumed with my hatred of the scourge (or plague) that is Jewry and I fill with a desire to send the ones we don’t kill outright to a concentration camp on the dark side of the Moon.

Thinking this way is your way of excusing the inexcusable.

Correction: One of Rolling Stone’s contributors thinks they might turn out to have some potential. It’s not a declaration from the editorial board and, let’s face it: Rolling Stone has become fairly irrelevant over the years. I pay far more attention to their political…[Read more]

After reading the article, I wanted to hear one of their album title songs, This Could Be Texas, but couldn’t find it. Anyway, this next song is what makes me also see potential in the group:

Pretty good song and performance, but compare them with a band that can play one killer tune after another with a big enough sound to f…[Read more]

This IDF policy is “worse terrorism than Hamas” and is a “moral stain” on the IDF and Israel.

Let’s see how their new album does.

Not being mean. I just don’t see them having the kind of broad appeal that has people getting into a concert line a half mile long and filling a venue seating 3,000 as The Warning did in their Teatro Metropolitan concert.

There are wonderful bands with interesting music but w…[Read more]

I accidentally ran into their newest release that’s only three hours old. I like it. It’s the 3rd video below. I looked for lyrics and lucked out. (I’m not impressed by the lyrics. Am I missing something?)

Here is a band that I think will be a big success.

With whom? They’re a wee bit avant garde to have very wide appeal. No hummable melodies or lyrical earworms. Sorry. I don’t see it, and I’ve listened to several of their songs. They sound rather thin by comparison with the big booming sound of you know who.

An official live pro video (studio audio?) version of the latest drop from the upcoming Keep Me Fed album. The title: Automatic Sun.

I want symmetry.

No you don’t Jake. All I see you doing is condemning the barbarity of Hamas and justifying the barbarity of the Israeli army. You are not interested at all in genuine justice but in justifying gross double standards. None of you talking about Israel/Palestine for the last weeks have been remotely capable of a shred of nuance, self…[Read more]

@ Jake

You’re missing my point which is that Israel doesn’t seem to respect even the most basic guard rails. No number of dead Palestinians seems to be enough. Gaza is becoming a death/extermination camp.

You know, after WWII, the Japanese were sure that they would suffer terrible consequences once it was clear they had lost the war. What the…[Read more]

The violent attacks on Israel (first from Egyptian, Syrian, and Jordanian Arab armies and later from assorted terrorist groups) and the indoctrination of Palestinian children into an ideology of hate has been going on for so many decades that these Jihadists-in-training probably do not even understand that it is abnormal.

That may…[Read more]

But isn’t it telling and consistent with the hyperfocus on Israel and the glaring double standards that wrongdoing by Israel evokes rage and endless condemnation while equal and far worse acts are blithely ignored.

About 1,400 victims of Hamas terror strike.
About 17,000 victims of Israeli response so far.

Double standard? A…[Read more]

If genocide were Israel’s intention, wouldn’t they have used Dresden-style firebombing and achieved genocide even faster?

That would have not been subtle and would have incurred even more outrage than the (well deserved) outrage they are receiving now. Whether the genocide is de jure or de facto is of little concern to…[Read more]

It is a shame that during the election when HAMAS gained control, only 1/3 of Palestinians voted and the more secular party, Fatah ran multiple candidates, further lessening their chances.

@ Jake

Apparently, the way Israel curries the favor of Gazan Palestinians is 1) no food; 2) no water; 3) no medicine, hospitals, or doctors; and 4) no safe haven.

Reverse psychology?
