♬ cold cold change, we were so excited / waiting on the outside, waiting to begin / left us all angry and bewildered / laughing at the way we were taken in ♬

A sad day for Australian music. Rob Hirst, the powerhouse drummer and songwriter for Midnight Oil, has died. His relentless, driving beats were the engine room for some of the most powerful and politically charged rock anthems ever written. A true legend.

🔥 Brennt dein Bett auch schon?
24 Tage, 24 Songs fürs Klima. Und noch ein Klassiker.
In „Beds Are Burning“ geht es, auch wenn es sich aus heutiger Sicht so anhört, nicht direkt um die Klimakrise, sondern um die Rechte der australischen Aborigines, deren Heimat stark unter Umweltzerstörung für Profite zu leiden hatte. Seit Ende der 1980er Jahre ist der Song nicht mehr von den Tanzflächen dieser Welt wegzudenken.
Das im Chorus ausgedrückte Unverständnis darüber, dass wir einfach so weitermachen, obwohl so viel Ungerechtigkeit geschieht, lässt sich dort auch besonders entschlossen herausschreien.
Ihr wollt den ganzen Song?

And #MyLand sure is a complex thing. #JukeboxFridayNight
The doco on these guys at the last Filim festival was a stroll down memory lane.
Four wheels scare the cockatoos
From Kintore East to Yuendemu
The western desert lives and breathes
In forty five degreesThe time has come
To say fair's fair
To pay the rent
To pay our shareThe time has come
A fact's a fact
It belongs to them
Let's give it back -
Der Sänger müsste mal einen Logopäden kontaktieren, finde ich ;-)
Tja, ein bekannter von mir hat ein One way ticket ...
Ich gönne es ihm.
Aber ich bin auch ein wenig neidisch ;-) -

Midnight Oil - Beds Are Burning
"Out where the river broke
The blood-wood and the desert oak
Holden wrecks and boiling diesels
Steam in forty-five degreesThe time has come
To say fair's fair
To pay the rent
To pay our shareThe time has come
A fact's a fact
It belongs to them
Let's give it backHow can we dance
When our earth is turning
How do we sleep
While our beds are burningHow can we dance
When our earth is turning
How do we sleep
While our beds are burningThe time has come
To say fair's fair
To pay the rent
Now to pay our shareFour wheels scare the cockatoos
From Kintore East to Yuendemu
The western desert lives and breathes
In forty-five degreesThe time has come
To say fair's fair
To pay the rent
To pay our shareThe time has come

Hallo und guten Tag, ich bin auf dieser Instanz #NeuHier. Ich bin zwar nicht von meinem “Heimatserver” berlin.social weggezogen (dort drüben bin ich als @FrauBluecher unterwegs), habe aber vor, hier einen Schrebergarten für Gelaber über Musik und Literatur einzurichten, welches dann doch mehr als 500 Zeichen pro Post benötigt. Dafür wird mein mangels Interaktion brach liegender Wordpress-Blog schlafen gelegt.
Den ständigen Empörungsmodus von Twitter möchte ich hier definitiv nicht weiter pflegen, deshalb tröte ich seit meinem Umzug zu Mastodon bewusst unpolitisch − und sehr viel entspannter. Gute Musik, horrible und fantastische Literatur und Handygeknipse sind bislang meine Themen, und meine Nerven danken es mir. Auch aus diesem Grund werden Leerdenker & Co. ohne weitere Diskussion geblockt, sobald sie sich zu erkennen geben, ich habe keinen Bedarf, Lebenszeit mit sinnlosen Diskussionen zu verschwenden.
-------------------------------------------
Hello and good day, I am #NewHere on this instance. I haven't moved away from my "home server" berlin.social (over there I'm @FrauBluecher), but I'm planning to set up an allotment here for banter about music and literature that requires more than 500 characters per post. In exchange, my Wordpress blog, which is lying dormant for lack of interaction, will be put to sleep.
I definitely don't want to continue the constant outrage mode of Twitter here, so since moving to Mastodon, I've been deliberately tooting non-politically - and much more relaxed. Good music, horror and scifi literature and mobile phone photography have been my main topics so far, and my nerves thank me for it. Also for this reason, "empty thinkers" aka covidiots, right-winger & co. are blocked without further discussion as soon as they make themselves known; I have no need to waste life time with pointless discussions.
