It was quite funny, watching the #SmarterEveryDay guy visit #Europe (Italy) 🤣 ..yeah, we're not getting "weirded-out" as you yanks, facing displays of #nudity 🍆🍑 in public - much less so, when we're talking about inanimate objects/statues.

Cultural differences are fine! 🐶🔥 😉

The #Christians / #Religious #subculture MUST relax, or ELSE ...well, all the others will have #democracy related issues 😉 ..let everyone "live long, & prosper" 🖖

..we SHOULD be worried about the #BILLIONAIRES, instead! ✊

Diesen Freitag ist #BandcampFriday! Yippie!

Das bedeutet, alle Umsätze der Verkäufe an diesem Tag gehen zu 100% an uns als Künstler. Sonst bekommt Bandcamp bei jedem Verkauf Gebühr.

Also wer auf Surf Instrumentals, Garagepunk & Rock'n'Roll steht, hört mal rein bei uns & supported uns gern mit einer kleinen Investition. ❤️

Wer lieber das Tape (inkl. Download-Code) mag, schreibt mich am besten direkt an.

I am currently reading the German translation of "The art of darkness:
The history of goth" by John Robb.
It's a long and thorough non-fiction book, covering lots of topics, among them of course the music of the goth subculture.

[E]very set of concepts contains within itself the germination of its opposite. It is this sense of paradox which allows us to comprehend how a unificatory, rationalist and foundationalist Enlightenment modernity could provide the driving forces of disintegration which lie behind modernization — the growth and development of industrialization, science, technology and urbanization associated with unprecedented levels of rapid social change and the sweeping away of traditional economic and cultural structures where 'All that is solid melts into air'.
