This week, we're supposed to #Obey?
The Brian Jonestown Massacre - “Resist Much Obey Little” from Don't Get Lost (2017)
For years I’d heard #BrianJonestownMassacre here and there, mostly on college radio, and dug what I heard, but somehow an impression never stuck, if I’m being honest, until #AnthonyBourdain put founder/front man/driving force/connective tissue #AntonNewcombe in front of my eyeballs on his food/travelogue show #PartsUnknown.
Well thanks, Tony, for helping to correct that oversight. Newcombe excretes music from his pores, and puts out a record whenever he stops to collect this vital bodily fluid. #Shoegaze, #GarageRock, #PychedelicRock, jangly #PowerPop - Newcombe's oeuvre checks a lot of boxes, feeling a bit how I imagine it might be to walk through a car wash: Startling, seems fun at the start! Abrasive at times, chaotic but with a rhythm and a direction, keeps you moving, leaves you a little confused but cleansed.
As for this track - could there be a more appropriate time? But be careful out there, friends.

It's #AlternateFridayMusic with the cue of #obey
This was the first one that came to mind. I wanted to post something less obvious or well known, so I tried to google ‘songs about obedience’ but it was all Christian worship songs that came up🤔😳, so I just went with my first instinct

I don't think I am cut out for obeying 😂 Therefore my music selection reflects this.

🎵 I am the don, the only one, the saviour and your god
You will obey me or betray me at your peril 🎵
This #alternateFridayMusic 's theme is #obey, which allows me to pull out this sadly prescient song from At The Drive In, Governed By Contagions.

TISM - If You're Ugly, Forget It
🎶 Oh, can you see that girl's immaculate shoulder?
Do you wanna get your name on her folder?
Hope may spring eternal, but you should not let it
Hear the unspoken words: if you're ugly, forget it
Oh, can you see that guy? No wonder you hate him
He's captain of the footy, you of the debating
You have the rest of your life, with which to regret it
Obey the unstated rule: if you're ugly, forget it
The worst bands are most popular
Arseholes make the most money
Insecure twats are famous
Lunatics embrace religion
Incompetent people, incompetent people are the loudest 🎶

Verse of the Day: Obey - 1 Samuel 15:22
“Does the Lord delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices
as much as in obeying the Lord?
To obey is better than sacrifice,
and to heed is better than the fat of rams."

Dissenting comes at a cost.
Doing the right thing is often punished.
Lots of people live in situations in which their reality and the group reality do not align. #conformity #orders #responsibility #obey
