On December 4th, Fiadh has the privilege of offering a vinyl edition of Aura Merlin’s latest album, Moon Gates. This date marks the third full moon supermoon in a series of four, and is a fitting time to release a blue marble LP of this stunning piece of fantasy music 🌕🦉

It really isn’t said enough how much these people straight up hate America. People should say this a lot more frequently. They simply don’t like the good parts of modern American life.
"Sources in the Trump administration have previously told Zeteo that officials will at times intentionally use popular music from vocally anti-Trump performing artists, in order to trigger a negative response from a famous liberal and provide further amplification of their pervasive culture war,"
NEWS: The Trump-Vance White House is attacking Sabrina Carpenter.

In a new statement, the White House — led by Trump, a liable sexual abuser mired in scandal for ties to pedophile Jeffrey Epstein — suggests Carpenter is "stupid" and is defending pedophiles and rapists.

Éowyn x Smoulder

Tolkien Tuesday continues: Éowyn’s official metal band is Smoulder. Epic doom, trad metal, and pure shieldmaiden energy.

Perfect soundtrack for “no living man am I.”

⚔️ Obscure Metal Monday
🇯🇪 Legend – Death in the Nursery (1981)

Legend came out of Jersey during the NWOBHM era, removed from the big UK scenes, and that distance gave their music its own identity. A darker, more dramatic edge sets it apart. Check the alt-text!

It always seems like my weekly roundups consist primarily of bands from the 70s - 90s, skips the 2000s and most of the 2010s, but picks back up after the new decade. I'm ok with it. I think we are in an incredible age for new metal music. Especially traditional as well as death metal.

I, for one, will never be able to listen to Alestorm again without picturing Pippin doing silly shit.

I've Been doing a “Tolkien Tuesday” series over on Sounds of the Void, matching each member of the Fellowship of the Ring with what I perceive to be their favorite metal bands. Here’s the "official" lineup so far:

💀 Obscure Metal Monday
🇯🇵 Corrupted – Se Hace por los Sueños Asesinos (2004)

Osaka’s most mysterious doom band spent the ’90s and 2000s dropping hour-long soul-crushing sludge/funeral doom with no photos, no interviews, no explanations. Just pure, suffocating atmosphere.

This is true. Celebrate now, but the work continues.
serious note: they're gonna try 5x harder to sabotage the midterms after tonight and we're gonna have to organize on a literally historic scale to stop them
really obvious now why trump and the republican party have been working so hard to prevent fair elections lol they know

Milwaukee has had 3 socialist mayors in its city. I wonder why they are so up in arms about this one? I wonder...

Republican and Democrat elites, who supposedly 'hate' one another, are suddenly united against Zohran. They are united against the possibility of affordable rent and lower prices. They are united against the possibility of free buses and better childcare. They are united against the working class.

I do not think he should be mayor, but this is so much healthier of an approach to take toward a democratic election than anything we are hearing from Andrew Cuomo. Cuomo is going to leave NYC the moment he loses. Sliwa seems to truly want to stay in this great city.

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions

"Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

I continue to wonder when Americans will decide enough is enough. As Frederick Douglass reminds us:

“The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress.”

In a way, I find the authoritarian takeover of our media system even more disturbing than the authoritarian takeover of our political system.

Our political system has been failing basically my entire adult life. But, the media system provided accountability and sort of worked. Now it’s collapsing.

Open letter to the right. Fuck you. Tolkien would have hated you. You are not Elves, Dwarves, Hobbits, Ents, Wizards, or even Men. And you are certainly not the Ainur. You are Ungoliant's brood, orcs, trolls, and wargs. Your leader is Morgoth, without the cool aesthetic. 🖕

The right is obsessed with The Lord of the Rings. But they don’t understand it.

Your regular reminder that we desperately need to overturn Citizens United and get big money out of politics.

It is among the worst Supreme Court decisions in history.

It corrupts our political system every day.
