England’s Dreaming: It’s Grim Across the Pond mixtape

“And did the Countenance Divine
Shine forth upon our clouded hills?
And was Jerusalem builded here
Among these dark Satanic mills?”

– William Blake, Jerusalem

Not really the fairy tale land of Doctor Who, police who don’t carry guns and Harry Potter, England can be a pretty grim place to live. Starting with the punk movement through to the current dubstep scene, the societal conditions of a country with a fucked up class struggle that’s filled with housing projects and unemployment has brought us a lot of interesting music.

And that’s what this mixtape is about: the amazing albeit bleak music of England. (I have nothing against it as a country or a group of people, I just thought this would make for a good mix).

Happy Day of the Dead

What better way to celebrate Dia de los Muertos than some brutal MEXICAN DEATH METAL?

The album’s title translates to “Hated Race” (watch Lou Dobbs to figure out who that is) and features songs about immigration politics, the Zapatista movement and the drug war along with more traditional death metal themes. Ex-Dead Kennedys vocalist Jello Biafra appears as a tongue in cheek version Californian governor Pete Wilson on one track. This music is the polar opposite of what people commonly think of as “Mexican Music”, e.g. Ranchera (the polka sounding stuff that’s on like four AM stations) or Morrissey (seriously). Like gangsta rap before it turned into a showcase of Bentleys and diamonds, Brujeria has got to scare the shit out of White People.
Download it here from Brutal Xpression, which appears to be an extreme metal blog in Spanish. Good stuff if you’re into it.

Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween, I hope you enjoyed my October goth mixtape.

For a treat, I’ve tracked down a copy of Skinny Puppy’s infamous “Worlock” video. This video was created by cEvin and Ogre of Skinny Puppy using cut footage from horror movies that was removed by various ratings boards. Because of the nature of the work, it’ll never have a commercial release, due to the graphic content and copyright clearance problems.

Which is what makes the Internet awesome, years ago this was something that you had to spend time tracking it down at horror movie conventions or from ads in the back of zines and when you got it was a 5th generation VHS tape and looked like ass. These days, it’s on youtube.

Sisters of Mercy – Dominion

They’re goth but they wear all white? and film videos that look like Indiana Jones & the Last Crusade? Good song, strange video. I miss 120 Minutes, although I guess VH1 Classic shows Classic 120 Minutes now.
