Weyes Blood | Andromeda

Andromeda’s a big wide open galaxy Nothing in it for me, except my heart, that’s lazy Running from my own life now, I’m really turning some time Looking up to the sky for something I may never find Stop calling, it’s time to let me be If you think you can save me I dare you to try

May 2024 - With Eurovision coming up, and the fascist state of Israel being allowed to pinkwash their genocide of the Palestinian people once again, let's remember Icelandic anti-capitalist band Hatari who showed their support for Palestine in 2019 when Eurovision was being held in Tel Aviv, and were fined for it (€5000,- lmao). Later that same month they brought out the pro-Palestinian song Klefi / Samed (صامد) together with Palestinian artist Bashar Murad.

anyway, the BDS movement is calling for a boycott of Eurovision 2024!

Instead of watching Eurovision this year…

maybe I can interest you in Hataris Documentary named „A song called hate“.

It features 2019s Icelandic contestants „Hatari“ on their journey to protest against the treatment of Palestinians in Isreal, using Eurovision as a stage to share an important message.

In their documentary, they shed light on what „Hatari“ is, their intentions and ways to support Palestinians, their experiences in Israel, their interviews of Palestinian civilians and artists and what followed after they raised the Palestinian flag during Eurovision in Israel.

Famously known as this scene:

You can find A song called hate here:

Please share so more people know!!

What if I told you that I've fallen?

[ID: Art of Susato Mikotoba and Haori Murasame/Rei Membami, done on a stylized background of swirling cherry blossom petals. Haori is falling backward, pulling Susato with her, so close that their noses are touching. Haori closes her eyes as she pulls off Susato’s cap, while Susato — still dressed as Ryutaro Naruhodo — looks down at her with eyes wide. The background is suffused with the faint colors of the lesbian flag. End ID]

Sharon Van Etten | Seventeen

I know what you're gonna be I know that you're gonna be You're crumbling up just to see Afraid that you'll be just like me Downtown hot spots Halfway through this life I used to feel free, was it just a dream? Now you're half shy, think you're so carefree But you're just seventeen, so much like me You're just seventeen

🍉 Bashar Murad - MASKHARA بشار مراد مسخرة

From a 2021 interview with Bashar, where he explains some of the choices behind his music video for Maskhara:

[...] Meanwhile, the coffee cup reading is a metaphor of family expectations, and the pink outfits, the pink lighting and filters, and pink roses stuffed into a military tank are a nod to pinkwashing – the promotion of the queer-friendliness of a political entity to distract from human rights abuses. As a gay Palestinian himself, the latter hits close to home. In 2019, Bashar attracted global headlines through his involvement in Globalvision, an alternative concert that was livestreamed simultaneously with Eurovision in Tel Aviv – which had been plagued with pinkwashing controversy. "We didn't get the same number of viewers as Eurovision, but it still felt like we were doing something important," Bashar recalls. "Eurovision is a very queer event. It's also a musical event, so it was not just pinkwashing, it was also artwashing. As a gay artist, it was so important for me to make a statement. "They were also emphasising the fact that Eurovision is not political when it's the epitome of politics. It's different countries voting for and against each other and flags being waved everywhere. "But when it comes to Palestine and our voices, we were shut down. We were told that no, this is not a political event, this is a party and this is a happy event."
