"I wanna watch the world burn for what it's done / I wanna watch the world burn for what we've become"

Musical cynicism in its most beautiful form. For me at least.

#Refused

Ruotsalainen Refused-yhtye on ilmoittanut, että aikoo esiintyä Superstruct Entertainmentin järjestämissä tapahtumissa.

Yhtye yrittää selitellä päätöstään mm. sillä, että osan heidän muista keikoista järjestää Live Nation, jonka omistaja Blackrock on pahis, ja sillä, että heidän musiikkiaan voi kuunnella Spotifyssa, joka sekin on pahis.

Refused - The Shape Of Punk To Come (1998) [Full Album in 1080p HD]

Refused are fucking alive, but only until the end of the year. One last tour. In about a month from now I will see them at the Jera One Air festival in Ysselsteyn, so now is as good a time as any to dive deep into their discography, starting at their earliest release that I've got in my collection: the "Pump The Brakes" EP. Recorded in Sunlight Studio (Stockholm) in '93 and released in '94.

It's four tracks, it's rough around the edges in all the ways that I appreciate in hardcore. I remember reading that Dennis had a cold and his voice was not in the best shape during the recording sessions of one of their early releases and listening to it right now: I think this might be the one. On this EP there is no indication that these kids would release the absolutely groundbreaking "Shape of Punk To Come" only a couple years later. Going through their discography from start to finish their artistic growth in the early years is phenomenal.

That being said: sometimes I like the primitive version, too. Very east coast 90s. All energy. All attitude. I'll allways love this style of hardcore music.

Started 4/15 with some nostalgic mainstream friendly pop punk, slowly moving into heavier material, and by dinner time a bit more obscure. Was nice having a heavy night for a change! We listened to:

#AllAmericanRejects - Move Along
#Paramore - Riot
#ADayToRemember - For Those Who Have Heart
#Underoath - They're Only Chasing Safety
#ToucheAmore - To the Beat of a Dead Horse
#Defeater - Letters Home
#Refused - The Shape of Punk to Come

On Wednesday, United States District Judge James #Boasberg issued an opinion
finding that the Trump administration likely acted in #contempt of court when they refused to abide by one of his rulings relating to the deportation of Venezuelan immigrants last month.

In his order, Boasberg noted that there was probable cause to suggest that the
#willful #disobedience” of his previous rulings amounted to contempt by members of the Trump White House,
which could be viewed as a #criminal action.

In March, Boasberg had ordered the temporary halting of deportations of Venezuelan immigrants the administration had planned to deport
— and indeed, had already begun sending
— to El Salvador. In an addendum oral order, Boasberg also said that the administration must turn around planes that were en route to that country.
The Trump administration #refused to abide by that command,
and in the weeks afterward gave competing rationales for why they didn’t,
initially saying that the oral order meant they didn’t have to follow it,
and later claiming they could ignore Boasberg because the flights were over international waters.
In his Wednesday order, Boasberg stated that
“the Government’s actions on that day demonstrate a willful disregard”
for what he had said should happen.
