Artist: Jahzzar
Album: Onus

I love free music. Artists who put their music up for free download, like Bomb the Music Industry!, or The Brave Little Abacus, are my friends, mon. So I went to Freemusicarchive.org, and decided to download a randomly picked one. I chose this one because I liked the album cover. Then I forgot about it for a few days.

I was standing on the bus today, listening to Brave Bird, when the album finished and repeated itself. And since I've been listening to a ****load of Brave Bird this week, I thought I'd put on something else, but what, exactly? Scrolling down the list, I was about to put on some Joie de Vivre, but stopped at Jahzzar. "Might as well listen to that," I thought.

That was a bleak ride home. Jeez. I expected experimental folk pop stuff, guessing from the album tags on its Free Music Archive page, but what did I get? The stuff Varg Vikernes would make in prison if he had a predilection to generic EDM and lo-fi game soundtracks. Few ideas are on display, none of which are really interesting, and the album is instrumental.

2/5

Artist: Ensiferum
Album: One Man Army
Year: 2015

One song is titled "One Man Army", another one "Warrior Without a War". I think they're implying a story about some delusional lunatic going on a killing spree because he thinks he's part of a battle. Heh, silly.

The music is alright.

3/5

Confession? Revelation?
Nah.

Artist: Taylor Swift
Album: 1989
Year: 2014
Genre: Electropop

"You like Taylor Swift? Gee whiz, I'd never have guessed that".

I'm a fifteen year old white kid, of course I like Taylor Swift. When I first discovered that fact, I thought of it as "ironic" listening. Y'know, "I'm listening to Taylor Swift, but not for the same reasons as those other kids", that kind of thing. But at this point I've stopped caring. Yes, this album is mall music, but that just means it's hella catchy and upbeat. Perfect for when you want to listen to some music without having to actually think about what's entering your ears.

The album is called 1989. It's named after the year the artist was born, and is supposed to be inspired by the electropop that was popular around this time. Granted, I've not listened to a whole lot of 80s' electropop, but you can clearly hear a retro thing going on on some of the songs, like "Style" and "Clean", though lots of it is just pretty standard pop music. That's not necessarily a bad thing, though. Because I'd say that, to some degree, I digged every song on the album.

3.5/5

Propaganda posters

Aight, so I've been using Reddit a lot lately. A little while ago, while I was browsing some history stuff, I stumbled across the subreddits /r/coldwarposters and /r/propagandaposters. Thus, I gained a new interest: old-timey propaganda posters. These are some of my favourites so far:

Why Christian Americans should support Bernie Sanders

It seems to me that the words 'Christian' and 'conservative' are tightly connected. There are statistics to back this up. According to surveys, most Christian voters are leaning towards the Republican party, while the Democratic party has more support among Jews and people of no religion in particular.

But... what about... Jesus? Who would he vote for? I think he'd vote for Bernie Sanders in a heartbeat. It's simple:

On the rich
Luke 18:25 says: «Indeed, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.» Sounds pretty Socialistic to me.
Welfare
Sanders wants to raise the minimum wage to $15 and introduce Scandinavian-style single-payer healthcare. Sounds pretty Jesusy to me, considering that Jesus once fed five thousand people just because.
Gay marriage
Would Jesus support gay marriage? I don't know. But he certainly wouldn't oppose it. He didn't mention homosexuality once in the gospels. Sure, the Old Testament says several times that homosexuality is vile and disgusting, but it also forbids wearing clothes woven from two different types of fabric. And surely the New Testament counts more then the old one? That's what I gather from reading Matthew 5:38-39.

Bernie Sanders and Jesus are both Jewish. If you've checked out Bernie's campaign page on Facebook, chances are you've noticed that it's littered with quotes by the Pope. We all know what this means.

Soviet Union: Soviet Union: "Liberated woman build up Socialism!" Soviet Union: "Lenin lived, Lenin lives, Lenin will live forever!" Nazi Germany: The text on the sign says "The USA will save the European culture from ruin". I dig this one, because dude, MechaKlux? It's more than a little ironic that the Nazis are reproaching USA by bringing up the KKK, though. USA: My current MB avatar because I thought it was hilarious.
