Love this track, it gets really epic at the end.

This popped back into my head today

 

Why has elegance found so little following? Elegance has the disadvantage that hard work is needed to achieve it and a good education to appreciate it. - Edsger Wybe Dijkstra

1:20 to 3:30 part might be the best melodic death metal ever. Other parts are good to, but just not as awesome.

Love it, fits my mood perfectly.

Against stupidity we have no defense. Neither protests nor force can touch it. Reasoning is of no use. Facts that contradict personal prejudices can simply be disbelieved - indeed, the fool can counter by criticizing them, and if they are undeniable, they can just be pushed aside as trivial exceptions. So the fool, as distinct from the scoundrel, is completely self-satisfied. In fact, they can easily become dangerous, as it does not take much to make them aggressive. For that reason, greater caution is called for than with a malicious one. Never again will we try to persuade the stupid person with reasons, for it is senseless and dangerous.

“Political philosophers have often pointed out that in wartime, the citizen, the male citizen at least, loses one of his most basic rights, his right to life; and this has been true ever since the French Revolution and the invention of conscription, now an almost universally accepted principle. But these same philosophers have rarely noted that the citizen in question simultaneously loses another right, one just as basic and perhaps even more vital for his conception of himself as a civilized human being: the right not to kill.”

"The chancellor, the late chancellor, was only partly correct. He was obsolete. But so is the State, the entity he worshipped. Any state, entity, or ideology becomes obsolete when it stockpiles the wrong weapons: when it captures territories, but not minds; when it enslaves millions, but convinces nobody. When it is naked, yet puts on armor and calls it faith, while in the Eyes of God it has no faith at all. Any state, any entity, any ideology that fails to recognize the worth, the dignity, the rights of Man...that state is obsolete."

Great tune and great video. I'm reminded bittersweetly how great a decade the 80s was for movies, and how so far from great the last and current one has been for movies relatively speaking.

^ I like that first video, I'll have to check out more stuff from that band, the second one, not so much.  Also, you can't go wrong with long haired shirtless guys headbanging.  Also also, fat bassist is my spirit animal.

Falco is the shiz, and he'd likely win my award for coolest Austrian ever. Loved his music.

 

Here's another great Austrian song:



 

Time for some The Beautiful South, a band with some of the best lyrics out there in my humble opinion.

HA! Good Fun!

Interesting remix of one of Brian Enos best.

The lovely Malukah covered one of my favourite songs. Life-affirming.

Really like this song, its beautiful.
