I scratch but you don’t itch

This weekend’s music selection, a varied mix: Nobodys by name and reputation; angry people in a ruined factory (wouldn’t you be?); medieval queens were probably not great singers; and no that isn’t Ricky Gervais.

Sorted, snorted, munted, blunted

Today’s music selection: Asimov-ignoring robots; recommendations in media technology; German lessons for party drug users; and a commentary on Chinese politics.

Anthony Rother – Destroy Him My Robots:

Lützenkirchen – 3 Tage Wach:

Japan – Visions of China:

Skalat maðr rúnar rísta, nema ráða vel kunni

Today’s selection of music: Metal without electric guitars, music for and by machines, and a girl singing into a large cellphone.

Korpiklaani – Kadet Siipina

Section 25 – Looking from a Hilltop

Faun – Egil saga

Unheilig – Herz Aus Eis

Kehrwert – Maschinenmusik

About the title: It’s used in the Faun song, and they took it from the 13th century Egils saga. It means something like “don’t write runes that you can’t read / control”. Or as Lovecraft wrote in The Case of Charles Dexter Ward: “do not call up any that you can not put down”.
