Thoughts on Bon Iver? Been kinda hooked lately, he's a bit of a degen stoner, and maybe has been influenced by some gnostics, but I can't help but feel his searching and slow progress towards the truth of things in his music.

I think it's actually a really good meditation on our smallness and insignificance, and the cosmic beauty in that, that our Creator would bestow something so small and insignificant in the face of eternity with the ability to experience

And while I think he's missing the why of it all maybe in his personal life, I always get the impression he's struggling his way there, and he makes some genuinely fascinating music struggling with himself along the way

The music is great

that album is one of my go-to's when I'm feeling a somber chill-out

I actually was a huge fan of 22, A Million as well tbh

Festival I run in the UK. Quite proud of the line up, and the profits are going to a local soup kitchen. Would appreciate a bit of a shill from the LC and /Rel/ gangs in this endeavour as I don't want to have to cancel it this year. 🙏

Why they used 1488 remains a mystery to me.

A swarm crawling through Odessa
Ahead of them is the priest, Messiah:
Beat, beat, beat the jews, beat the jews and save Russia!
Beat, beat, beat the jews, beat the jews and save Russia!

And in Kiev, there's a frowning procession
Black hundred - enforced:
Beat, beat, beat the jews, beat the jews and save Russia!
Beat, beat, beat the jews, beat the jews and save Russia!

"Listen Van'ka, they drink Christian blood,
How many newborns they've killed
It's all jews, jews - so beat the jews, beat the jews and save Russia!"
Beat, beat, beat the jews, beat the jews and save Russia!

"Oh, the shop is closed! - Break the hasp!
How many goods they've accumulated... -
Kol'ka, Petruha, scrape the jews, beat the feathered ones, save Russia!"
Beat, beat, beat the jews, beat the jews and save Russia!

"Look, man, look, they're shoving the money...
Look how they're shouting... Scorch me, we - are baptized people!
Beat the jews and save Russia!
There will be here doom for them, beat the jews and save Russia!"

"Archangel Michael leads
Christ-loving people, of course."
The thousand-headed horde is screaming: "Beat the jews and save Russia!"
Beat, beat, beat the jews, beat the jews and save Russia!

"Hey, place the gonfalon higher, brade it to the sky!
Our Tzar is still sitting on the throne
Into the dogs, into the Hussars, crush the jews, help the Russian crown!"
Beat, beat, beat the jews, beat the jews and help the crown!

Bitter drink - People are partying;
Under the fights, in the bar
A soldier gives a tip to the lackey: "Beat the jews and save Russia!"
Beat, beat, beat the jews, beat the jews and save Russia!

Rushes at full speed, a Donets squadron
Twisted whips are whistling.
1905th roars in the face: "Beat the Jews and save Russia!"
Beat, beat, beat the jews, beat the jews and SAVE RUS-SI-A!

Change pope to 'priest'

Idk he said Pope's

We call them popes

Yea, but it still translates to priest

cause pope is папа римский

Alright

This song is also about how black hundreds helped to tame down the February uprising of 1905 in Russia.

My friend made this playlist

At the risk of sounding overdramatic, listening to the Improperia today at the Good Friday Liturgy was one of the most profound moments of my entire life.

@GodFearingEnglishman Thank you will listen

I probably should have included the lyrics, which is mostly why I found it so profound.

I especially love the interchanging Greek and Latin. We had the choir go to two sides of the church for those parts.

To be listened to with headphones at full volume.

And strictly after you have fulfilled your obligation for Mass at Easter. No sooner.
