| Portland - Alberta Street - 1808.10 |
This mix began with the new Nine Inch Nails album Bad Witch as the core source, which is inspired by David Bowie and his monumental release just before his death: Blackstar.
From the Wiki page:
On May 17, 2018, the lead single "God Break Down the Door" was released for streaming,[3]and on June 22, 2018, Bad Witch released to generally favorable reviews.
and
Musically, Bad Witch is a concise album that blends the industrial rock aggression[14][15] of Nine Inch Nails with slower and more somber moments, most clearly seen in the two instrumental pieces.[16] Reznor employs a saxophone at multiple points on the album,[16] and he occasionally sings in a way dissimilar to his normal manner,[17] with some critics comparing the style to Bowie's.[7] The album's first two tracks, "Shit Mirror" and "Ahead of Ourselves", are its heaviest and most direct.[16] The third song, "Play the Goddamned Part", is the album's first instrumental.[14] It slowly builds tension, emphasizing saxophone[16] and experimental noises[7] while working toward the album's sole single, "God Break Down the Door".[18][19] "I'm Not from This World" is another instrumental, predominantly ambient song, described as "droning" and "hypnotic".[20] The album's sixth and final track, "Over and Out", begins as a relatively upbeat, catchy electronic song but ends as a protracted wash of white noise that concludes Bad Witch.[20][21]
Several critics have compared Bad Witch to Reznor and Ross' film scores.[7][22] Others likened the album to Bowie's Blackstar (2016),[7][21][22] and some to Reznor's soundtrack for the 1996 video game Quake.[22]

also from WIKI:
Cabaret Voltaire are an English music group formed in Sheffield in 1973 and initially composed of Stephen Mallinder, Richard H. Kirk, and Chris Watson.[1] The group was named after the Cabaret Voltaire, a nightclub in Zürich, Switzerland, that served as a centre for the early Dada movement.
The early work of Cabaret Voltaire consisted primarily of Dada-influenced performance art and experimentation with tape machines, helping to pioneer industrial musicin the mid-1970s. Finding an audience during the post-punk era, they integrated their experimentalist sensibilities with dance, new wave, and pop styles.[2][3] They are often characterized as among the most innovative and influential electronic groups of their era.[3]
I was instantly drawn to the name Cabaret Voltaire before I knew its reference. It was the band who made the first album I bought at Wax Trax, and the band has continued to be a source of inspiration ever since, though "Sluggin' For Jesus" will always be my favorite track, possibly just because it's the first one I ever heard.
AND....from WIKI regarding Throbbing Gristle.
The band is widely viewed as having created the industrial music genre, along with contemporaries Cabaret Voltaire.[28][page needed] The term was coined in the mid-1970s with the founding of Industrial Records by Genesis P-Orridge of Throbbing Gristle and Monte Cazazza; on Throbbing Gristle's debut album The Second Annual Report, they coined the slogan "industrial music for industrial people."[29] The first wave of this music appeared with Throbbing Gristle from London, and Cabaret Voltaire from Sheffield.[30]
This mix has become a bit of a whopper: 26 tracks with an extra video/audio of the entire new NIN album Bad Witch.
Though I tried to theme the mix and its music, there's some picks that just came from You Tube's algorithm, such as Jamie XX's "Gosh" and The Prodigy's "The Day is my Enemy," which is funny as the kids just watched Mad Max: Fury Road in my house Saturday night.
"I am a human being, God Dammit! My life has value!"
I wanted something powerful and political for this mix, and David Brin supplied it and shared the Howard Beale rant from the movie Network.
"I am mad as Hell and I am not going to take this anymore."
I don't want that Trump lunatic anywhere near government power let alone in the presidency, but apparently Pence is worse. Read the following. END TIMES?
Click this one too for more: POLITICS OF RELIGION.
"dominionism," the doctrine that the faithful have a right to all the goods and property and wealth of unbelievers, who will all die horribly soon anyway, in apocalypse, followed by eternal torment.
That's what Pence has in store for us if he has all the power.
We have three months. Can we win the Senate and Congress and minimize the stranglehold these dangerous lunatics have on our country?
GOD, BREAK DOWN THE DOOR!!

One of the greatest of all films - "Network" - was prophetic in so many ways. So why is the "Howard Beale Scenario" scaring me to death, right now, praying for the health of a president I detest? First, Network gave Baby Boomers our generational anthem, when a raving Beale urged everyone to scream: "I'm as mad as hell!" And, as spoiled, sanctimony junkies, boy have we boomers shot-up the drug high of rage, bringing the U.S. to the verge of ruin. (Our calmer/nicer/smarter kids will be better off without us!) But there is another lesson from Howard Beale..
...in the way that he meets his end, when his deranged mania no longer serves the purposes of oligarchic masters, who realize he'll be more useful to them as a martyr.Now ponder last week's by-election in Ohio - a nail-biter in what should be a safely-red district. As Trump's toddler rants get ever-more unhinged, he's solidifying a jibbering-loony confederate base that grows more fanatical as it shrinks, while driving away a growing trickle of residually sane "ostrich" conservatives.
Yes, the GOP has perfected (with foreign help) dozens of cheats and some we'll only discover in November. Still, a big enough Blue Wave could result in a Congress that actually represents sanity, issuing real subpoenas and holding real hearings... and that could be death to the Putin/Murdoch/oligarchy's putsch. (State assemblies are more important! Find a candidate in a swing district to help.)
If a living Donald Trump is a Beale-like hemorrhage/liability to oligarchs like Murdoch-Mercer-Putin, envision instead a martyr, idolized by millions who are enraged at the sight of liberals stupidly celebrating in the streets. A rage only just barely restrained by the sainted one's newly-annointed successor, a smooth-voiced President Mike Pence, whose soft words lure back those wavering ostriches just in time to stave off republican extinction.
Elsewhere I've urged "don't impeach!" because a President Pence will smoothly and efficiently-relentlessly seek to implement the prophesied end-times that he openly avows to praying-for. (There are things much worse than a toddler-narcissist, fools! Are you listening, Mr. Colbert?)
Anyway, impeachment isn't the only way to deliver us into the hands of dominionist fanatics.
No, no. God bless the United States Secret Service! Along with 99% of the rest of the so-called "Deep State," hundreds of thousands of dedicated men and women professionals in the fact-using community, who do their jobs with skill, every day. Keep ol' Two Scoops alive! Even as you navigate a minefield, working to obey your oaths to keep us all alive.
As for the rest of you, wise up! Stop playing checkers while Vlad and Rupert are cheating at chess. You have three months, but that means starting now, finding some way to help. You are made of no lesser stuff than the heroes of Antietam, Gettysburg and Normandy. So stand up and prove it.
And here's a long, tall drink to the continued health of the President (alack) of the United States.

- New note - On 1807.06, I ceased daily transmission of my Hey Mom feature after three years of daily conversations. I plan to continue Hey Mom posts at least twice per week but will continue to post the days since ("Days Ago") count on my blog each day. The blog entry numbering in the title has changed to reflect total Sense of Doubt posts since I began the blog on 0705.04, which include Hey Mom posts, Daily Bowie posts, and Sense of Doubt posts. Hey Mom posts will still be numbered sequentially. New Hey Mom posts will use the same format as all the other Hey Mom posts; all other posts will feature this format seen here.
