You would be far less irritable and frustrated if you just came to the realization that you are incapable of understanding the grand design. Also, if you accept the fact that life is not and will not ever be fair, you'd find yourself less disappointed over the course of it.

But why care about someone else's belief system at all? Should positivity be considered a character flaw? And why would you want to muddy a kick ass music site like this one with such a polarizing topic, anyway?

I think he was just trying to find a topic less polarising that Trump. Might not have been the best choice. 

It helps some deal with the inevitability of death. 
 

What gets my goat is people of religion wanting others to live their way because of god/allah/krishna etc etc etc (there are literally 1000s). If you want to live some way out of fear knock yourself out, just don't demand I do. 

One of my favourite bands. Love everything they've done. 

Was lucky enough to get to see them last year before everything shut down. Even got a hug from the gorgeous Leigh Matty. 

They even wrote a song about our meeting. 

(1) Romeo's Daughter - Cannot Be The One - YouTube

Nice. Loved the last album.

German band so might even get to see them some time.

One of my favorite songs. Doesn't add anything to it. 

Wow. Really shocked by this. Tumultuous life and a huge part of the scene back in the day, clearly. 
 

RIP. 

I gave it one more go. A few decent tracks in there but it's just not doing it for me. 

It's not. But it's good. 

Wasn't overwhelmed on my couple of spins. 

Needs some lips and hips. 

Good luck with that. More happy Lawyers. 

He should donate a load to the government, and they should start making decisions based on pillow fights. 

Listening to it now. You'll be shocked to discover it's got hints of Tora Tora and other bands in that direction. Sounds pretty good on first spin , no new ground broken here but the formula is good. 

Well what a farce this was. 

They really fucked up by not paying a big donation to the Tory party first.  

Drugs, mental health or both? Absolutely way off the deep end this guy. 

The time to put up or shut up was ages ago. He's in a lot of trouble. 

And now his 'Frank' where you can say anything you want as long as it's within his definition of free speech. So no taking the lords name in vain or swearing. What a complete moron.
 

My two called it Opa(Grandpa) rock already a decade ago. 

Eldest does like some stuff but it's mainly things that have been in games. 

Country has never had any real impact in the UK. Couple of hits here and there,

In Germany there's a band called Boss Hoss who sort of do country and are very successful. 

US I'd expect , indeed I bet it's way higher there. Didn't think the UK market had gone that way so much. 

Fifth of all songs streamed in UK in 2020 were rap and hip hop - BBC News

Personally I find this pretty depressing news. Very little rap I like, Public Enemy and some of the harder edge stuff but mainly it's dreadful. 

World's going down, I say.

I always hoped that religion would help unite people.

Sadly the reality is that people use it to divide us.

Yep. All organised religion ends up being base evil as it's used by those craving power to manipulate the masses. 

Religion and politics need to be kept waaaay apart.

Yeah he probably is, because the poverty and lack of opportunity thing doesn't wash with me,maybe in certain areas,the chances are there now...they just don't want them ,but you will find in them areas that nothing will ever change no matter how much is thrown at it because basically those doing the damage just want to do exactly that,its a cover for them to do it in a way that they feel they won't get caught but allows them their need to destroy,we're light years away from where we were and the town in which I live has had so much put into it both development and infrastructure wise that its unrecognizable from the place that I grew up in,it actually is a beautiful place and we have so much going for us.

General frustration..yes...definately...but in this pandemic where doesn't have that? These same groups of youths have been running around all through our supposed lockdown and yet now they say that theyre doing it out of frustration!

I know that various things from all sides have led to what is happening now,people need to take a step back and let those in the know get us back on steady feet

It's those supposedly in the know who created the mess. 

What's needed is some competent politicians. Bigger problem is that seems to be an oxymoron these days. 

Nobody over the age of 65 should be in any government. 

Next one is just Music videos. But self made and pleasing on the eye. 

Hollywood Scream - YouTube

First up. 

Danny Waysted. They're uploading a lot right now. All our music and I've come across a lot already I hadn't heard before. This channel is getting me through Covid.

A long time ago I predicted one day all music would be available in one place online. Seems YouTube is becoming the fruition of that prediction. 

There are now quite a few channels where people are uploading albums. The legality of this one for another conversation. 

I'm also watching channels by producers and music lovers I really enjoy. 

Thought it might be useful to have one thread where people can recommend channels, they've come across.
