audioslave are beyond rescue; I say this as a dyed-in-the-wool defender of the glorious legacies of both soundgarden and RATM but I remember someone on thumped telling a story years ago about some friend of theirs who had used the name audioslave back in the 90s, and basically they got a nice...

as much stand-up comedians as musicians — not intended as a put-down! gustaf are perhaps their contemporary inheritors

meanwhile, another canonical entry

hmm hmmmmmmm I suppose I’d be inclined to put this into some kind of post-springsteen major-label-americana type of category, more so than the alt-rock/mtv-grunge/90s-rock bucket. but... noted for the archives nonetheless.

...german armed forces outside germany since 1945). so the “realos” not only crushed the “fundis” internally, but they also ended up being a critical *pro-war* voice in german politics, and have remained so to this day. like their symbol is a fucking flower but they were the actual people to...

...how there’s a sort of fantasy among lefty types, where they all believe that the green party in their own country is bad, but that green parties in *other* countries are sort of good-ish; but it’s actually never true, green parties everywhere are professional-managerial bourgeois...
