Do go and support Dan of @Fyrgen and his music @Wolcensmen

He owns a webstore called Blood Fire Merch from which you can buy merchandise which he has designed as a graphic artist, as well as his own music.

I've been a fan of Dan's music as long as I've known him as a friend, but for those who are new to his musical works, may you find the same otherworldly bliss and enjoyment in his musical works enough to buy his music.

Musicians do not get anything from digital streaming on Spotify or Bandcamp, but buying a CD, vinyl or merchandise goes a long way to support them. These can be obtained from Indie Records (Norway).

🔥 Fire In The White Stone LP (CD sold out from Indie Records but still available from record shops like HMV)

Dan also wrote a book called Fire In The White Stone (recommended for fans of Tolkien and Brian Bates) to accompany the second album of the same name, which I believe is excellent. It is available either from Blood Fire Merch, or Lulu. Dan's fictional, literary world, which runs parallel to a Heathen spiritual reality, is vastly underappreciated.

Feel free to share this post about and promote his works. Dan is a humble man and consequently is not likely to promote as heavily as he should for all the great work he has done.

For those wondering, Jivemeister Tom was referencing this song:

"...And all the stars, without a name
And all the skies, that look the same
And all the clouds, that fade, and then
Then all of this, begins again"

A demo version of Lloyd Cole & the Commotions' classic song Hey Rusty. This is just a terrific song.

A 1987 documentary about Suzanne Vega, with lots of music clips:

#1990s #femme #rock #folk

A really good Suzanne Vega concert from 1993, where she performs almost the entirety of her contemporaneous album, 99.9F. These are songs she doesn't seem to have performed since, so this is a valuable recording.

The Brothers Kraft with what must be the longest-ever version of their signature song, Autobahn. I had heard about this legendary performance, but was unaware until now that there was a recording of it - and good quality, too! Performed a few months after the album was released, this version clocks in at 40 minutes - 15 minutes longer than the album version.

When Kraftwerk did their famous world tour in 1981 to promote their new Computer World album, they performed some songs from their previous album, The Man-Machine, but not all. One song that was omitted was Spacelab. That song had to wait until 2012 to be performed live. By that time, of course, audio technology had advanced massively, leaving the bare-bones analogue sound of their 1981 tour firmly in the past. Here is a fan-made guess at how Spacelab might have sounded, had it been performed in 1981.

#2000s #electroclash

2000s electro-goth-hipsters Punx Soundcheck with their song Black Rose, with vocals by Gene Serene.

#2000s #electroclash

Gene Serene (quite a sexy vocalist) with All Over You. This was a moment in time. It was almost felt like a new genre - but then it wasn't one. Quite a few things in the 2000s were like that.

#2000s #electroclash

One more from Gene Serene. This is a jolly listen. I especially like the overlapping vocals towards the end - it reminds me of a similar bit in Idlewild's When I Argue I See Shapes.
