The Third Reich 'n Roll
Tumblr media
...I beg of you to bear with me.
So The Residents wanted to do a cover album. And...they did. A concept cover album. In this universe that they are pretending they are playing in, the Nazis are suddenly really good at rock n roll and come with all the hits of yesteryear to brainwash the youth. That guy with the swastika? That's Dick Clark, the minister of propaganda in their AU. From a certain point of view, this album could be seen as an attack on pop music itself, comparing it to outright fascism. But if any of the above satire/imagery offends you, feel free to skip cuz it's about to get a lot worse.
This is the video meant to promote the album. It's "Swastikas On Parade" and...the title's the least offensive part:
youtube
That video is from 1976. It is in the permanent collect in the New York Museum of Modern Art for being one of the first music videos that demonstrated the artistry of the medium. People back then...did not like it. Now, The Residents themselves said that the resemblance to Ku Klux Klan uniforms in their weird newspaper outfits were unintentional but considering that it was used to promote an album where they were already pretending to be Nazis...yeah, even I have trouble buying that. Not sure why they didn't just own up to it but it was the seventies. 4Chan wasn't there to go to bat for them.
Alright, there's the controversy. Now let's quickly review an avant-garde art rock album on its musical merits. There are two songs are that are basically mash-up medleys on different sides so this will be quick.
Swastikas On Parade
Chaotic medley that involves a bunch of guys fucking up pop hits from the 50s to 60s leaves one happy listener [citation needed]. The Land of 1000 Dances is the highlight but I also enjoyed hearing and double shot. Also, James Brown sung in German. How...damning.
9/10
2. Hitler Was A Vegetarian
Gets a good shot in with the absolute demented use of "Yummy Yummy Yummy" before shit just falls apart beautifully with Hell's rendition of "Hey Jude." Perfect way to close an insane album.
10/10
Album score: 95/100
Short one this week but that'll probably be a running gag from now on. Next week is Fingerprince. Expect the obligatory joke.

Maus - Art Spiegelman
I have had the first volume since about 2009 when I started having the money to buy the comics that I found out in college I should be reading. I finally picked up the second volume over the weekend in a rush of determination to just read it already.
There isn't a lot that a goy like me needs to say about this text, except possibly that I should have read it back in 2009, if not earlier, and that anyone reading my words on the book who hasn't read it should go read it instead. And while it is of course full of actual horrors , don't think of it as homework. It is an honor to be allowed to read this story. It was a gift from Art and Vladek and Mala that they allow us to read this story.
I wish I could sit down with Spiegelman and with Kat Chow and with others who have written this sort of family memoir and ask them--for a friend--how they write things about their family members that will potentially upset them. If it's a matter of coming to terms through the process of writing with the fact that truth is going to hurt people, or if you have to be okay with that before you start a project, or if their specific projects were so particularly important that everyone accepted that personal feelings were collateral.

Hey, so, why are so many puzzles in the NYT’s app in the Video Game Midis pack just straight up swastikas?
Tumblr media
Like, I’m not crazy, right? These were made in 2020, by the New York Times, and like. There are so many that look like this.

The shooting in Jacksonville, FL exemplifies the unified struggle that the Black and Jewish communities face. The shooter wore a swastika, one of his firearms was engraved with a one, and beforehand he wrote an antisemitic and racist journal for the police to find (similar circumstances for the mall shooting in May in which the shooter also had Nazi tattoos, and the Christ Church shooting, in which he was active on Nazi sites and wrote an antisemitic/racist manifesto). Neo-Nazism has become a full epidemic, and the Jewish and Black communities are the ones targeted the most.
Jewish communities, as we always have and always will, firmly stand with Black communities who are still currently reeling from this attack.

I've really been around quite a lot this summer. Last Friday me and a friend went to Ornässtugan ("the Ornäs house") in Dalarna. It was built by a wealthy mine owner in the early 16th century and its loft served as a guesthouse. 1758 it was turned into a museum, which makes it the second oldest museum in Sweden. The exhibition centers around king Gustav Vasa and the stories of how he as a young nobleman came to Ornässtugan in 1520 when he was on the run from the Danish king Kristian II. The visit ended with Gustav fleeing through Ornässtugan’s outhouse with the help of Barbro Stigsdotter, the wife of the owner. Or so the story was told by the people, anyway.
What interested me, though, was all the magic and folklore that had been carved into the walls to protect the building. This was supposedly done because it lacked a fireplace, and fire is usually a good protection against evil spirits. On one door you could see that the wood had been burnt around the lock, to symbolize fire. There was also a sun cross, or swastika, carved beside the door (too bad the Nazis ruined this symbol forever).

Taylor Swift realizing that she can’t get away with publicly hanging out with Matty Healy the same way she’s got away with hugging a man with a swastika shirt and then getting on stage and saying shit like “YOU KNOW I’m an ally��� and “my concerts are a safe space”… embarrassing. So terribly embarrassing. I personally wouldn’t feel safe in a group full of swifties

Pax Omega - Al Ewing
I'm going to be thinking on this a while, and will maybe eventually understand how I feel about it.
I read El Sombra in two nights at the beginning of December, then flew through Gods of Manhattan pretty soon after, and the focus shift between the two was so disorienting that it took me awhile to get back to Pax Omega. I think El Sombra alone would have neared the emotional resonance for me of Ewing's Agent of Asgard if torture hadn't been so central to the story (torture is my one big thing that will usually get me to skip something altogether). Gods of Manhattan was harder for me to get absorbed in because I was there for El Sombra/Djego, and be ause 20 years into geek-culture-as-mainstream, deconstructive superhero pastiches don't hit the same as this would have as new in 2010.
But Pax Omega opened this world back up in a way that made it all make sense as a project that is as deep as I know Ewing's work is. I had personally wanted the series to be as focused on the one central character as the first book was because of how much I immediately cared about that character, but the story was more expansive and could not have hung on that scaffold in the final book, so I understand that we needed Gods of Manhattan to pull back in that way.
This series is a fascinating step in Ewing's evolution as a writer--and as a queer person, for that matter--and Pax Omega succeeded for me more than We Only Find Them When They're Dead did with similar themes and structure, perhaps only because of the worldbuilding in the previous books.
Strong warning for violence/gore, though not so strong in Pax Omega as in as the series overall. This series deals directly with racism, fascism, Nazis, coercive control, slavery, and the worst things humans do to one another.
