The PC and Perpetually Offended Brigade

[Eoin McLove]

Going in to see ROME on Saturday hopefully. The gig was moved from Saturday to Sunday, from one venue to another and has now been moved back to Saturday at an as yet undisclosed location    I smell the workings of Anti Fun Assholes at play here! I'm sure wherever it ends up it'll be a really dangerous meeting of extremist maniacs and not just the usual collection of black- clad obscure music worshipping dorks. I'll report back if I manage to come out alive...

Jaysis I thought Rome were fairly beige and neutral as neo folk bands go. I don't like the guys voice so I've not given them much attention to be fair. Hope you get to see the gig anyway without any disturbance from the totalitarian activist brethren.

Myself and the wife braved the viper's nest of far right extremists last night and you'll be relieved to hear we are both OK. A little shaken perhaps, but otherwise we'll survive. Funnily enough the gig ended up being on in, if not a full on gay bar, it was some kind of gay friendly bar with unisex toilets, posters for trans techno nights and lesbian staff. There were even two very obviously trans dude/ettes at the gig. A dangerous atmosphere indeed! Would have been funny to see Antifa protesting outside and then seeing these ladies emerge and being like... ehhh... sorry,  we must have the wrong address 

The gig itself was decent. The first band were pretty abysmal- Sun Vessel- but it was cool to see a full on neofolk band in action. Two chaps, the singer looked like Robin Hood at first glance, but then I realised he had a big baggy jumper that had been hiding in the back of his local St. Vincent de Paul since 1974. Festooned around his neck was a string of buddhist prayer flags and he had a military beret thingy on his head. Inexpert three chord acoustic strumming with maudlin semi-tuneless vocals and a dude dressed like a terrorist shaking maracas beside him. It was the real fucking deal!

Wolf Arrow Rain was next. Loose and rough music played on a semi-acoustic with a really good bassist holding things together. A bit ropey musically all in all, but she could really sing, and sounded very much like Kate Bush. Would have been cool to hear her with a full band of adept musicians because the songs were good. She was spouting mad hippy stuff between songs which was funny - the tap root travelling from her spine down to the centre of the earth to catch the light and bringing it up to fill the room because power is a circle not a pyramid ... eh... oookay! I was chatting to her briefly after and she was very nice. 50 odd, kind of like a lovely but slightly nutty aunt.

The Veil were up next and I had listened to a them on bandcamp before going in and they sounded pretty good. Doom Goth stuff. Last night they were stripped down to bass and acoustic guitar with vocals. Fucking great songs with lovely playing and Che de Boehmler (why do I know his name? I can't place where I've heard of him before. Did he write for Zero Tolerance maybe?) is a mighty singer. His voice reminded me of a mix between Aaron Stainthorpe and Matt McNerny. A real powerhouse of a singer. Unfortunately there was a lot of chatter going on and the music was getting drowned out. There was a table full of young lads who were bananas drunk and acting the maggot. I never would have done that when I was younger. No way...

Rome ended up being just Jerome on his own with an acoustic. The crowd seemed to double in size when he came on and he was very impressive. The drunken lads were like Rome super fans, up the front singing and yelling along and barking like dogs between songs.  Was that the Nazi bit I wonder... The dude can really play and his voice is so rich and full, he managed to fill the room with his presence. It was cool but I'd be lying if I said I wouldn't have preferred to hear him do more of a mix of his styles. We shot off early because it was late at this point and we were both knackered. The fun of being middle aged with a young kid!

An interesting evening all things considered.

   Brilliant, what a turn of events. But now what, we gotta be worried about trans Nazis too?!?

[Eoin McLove]

You can never be too careful.

[Giggles]

That was an enjoyable wee read there, nice one

Fucked up fans of Cabaret?

I see there's big kick back from Graham Linneman's arrest at Heathrow. The tweet that got him done was telling woman to punch a tranny in the balls if he he wont leave the bathroom.

Drowning under the 1984 memes these days

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

Starmer and Streeting incomprehensibly standing up for someone even JK fucking Rowling wants nothing to do with.

[Kunt 4 Life]

No, she's jumped in as well. Well, on Twitter if that counts. Which it probably does these days.

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

God, he's going to be absolutely thrilled with himself, the pathetic insane bastard!

I watched a few videos there recently on You Tube from a transexual, female to male, called Buck Angel.
She makes it clear, as do her guests who are actual transexuals, as opposed to "trannies" (and there is a distinction to be drawn there), that she is not a man, she is a woman who presents as a man.
She and her guests acknowledge that they suffer from gender dysphoria, a mental illness.
They are mortified by all this "tranny shit" (their words), the actions of so called activists who in no way represent the wishes of real transexuals, and horrified by the butchery that is being undertaken by so called "doctors"
Its very interesting stuff and a breath of fresh, sane air in a world gone mad.
these peoples views align far closer with those of Graham Linehan than they do with the "trannies".
I'd encourage anyone who has an interest in the matter to check out a few of her videos.

And by the way, actual transexuals don't give a flying fuck whether ya call them He or She.

More book-banning gowlacting. Now the snowflakes are on the right. Wimps, all.

Buck Angel is an infamous ex of Lana Wachowski (of The Matrix fame) and real piece of work. Didn't know he'd shifted right all the way to playing house negro though.

I don't know anything about that man, I just know I found them to be very interesting conversations where common sense seemed to prevail.
Some of the young peoples stories there who lives have been ruined by these so called "gender affirming" psychopathic doctors would break your heart.
