I don't normally post videos but I wanted to share one of my favorite Ministry live clips 🔥 I didn't get to experience tours like this live so I'm always grateful for the videos out there

Ministry was one of the bands that I was raised on & have a lot of nostalgia for. I've been lucky enough to see them twice, and Lead Into Gold 3 times. I hope to catch them live at least once more!!

I like going to art galleries hosted in old factory buildings and these are the only photos I take 😂

A compilation of 12 photos. All of them are photos of an old decrepit building, the inner walls and floors, and a couple photos of the sunset through a window.

Blixa is such an interesting person, both in terms of appearance and music. Getting into Neubauten was kinda my nonbinary awakening in a way.. it's really cool seeing parts of yourself in artists you enjoy
