How did I not know this amazing song has an equally wonderful video? Phoebe is a truly great poet. But the video. Wow. The symbolism! The weirdness! It’s a mini-masterpiece. It couldn’t be more different than AI slop pap.
(Incidentally, the skeleton suit Phoebe is wearing has a male pelvis.)
Nice song. If I can find 21 new (to me) songs I quite like in the last three days, anyone who is saying there’s no good new music is a confirmed cracksmoker.
Nope. That’s the elementary school reading of Nietzsche.
Now to what ol’ Friedrich was actually getting at. He was saying that all knowledge and progress is from a perspective, and furthermore was observing that with the loss of binding religion that had pervaded all culture, we’d need to create new horizons and values, of many different kinds, all instantiated by and for humans rather than handed down from some higher power or metaphysical authority.
In other words, we must become the god we killed; Nietzsche was not saying all hope of a shared future or futures was lost, but that now we were wholly in charge of creating any of that.
As I’ve said before, the philosopher Baby Queen understands Nietzsche better than most people who read him, including Nils Gilman.
I love how bass-heavy this version is. That bassist has such a unique style and playing method, too. I think she holds it like that because she’s small, but it’s really good no matter. Mazzy Star is one of the few bands that I listened to in the 1990s that I enjoy the same amount today, and listen to fairly often still.
This is great. It really nails the Phil Spector-esque “wall of sound.” It even has the appropriate key change in the last 1/4 of the song. So much fun.
I don’t like this song for itself much, but from a nostalgic perspective I do. It reminds me of Riot Grrrl and when feminism was actually good. That’s back when we were all attempting to have fun, before identitarian BS took over and before men were treated like default rapists 100% of the time.
The song has all of two chords and is very repetitive, but in its own way it’s still fun. Though I won’t listen to it again.
