WOMEN OF COLOUR IN METAL MUSIC: A VERY NECESSARY THREAD 🧵
Greetings, metalheads! Despite rock's distinctive black roots, metal is sadly mostly remembered for white guys. But they ain't the only ones in the scene so I shall show you some WOC kicking ass! Hop on this ride with me 🤘
stopped listening Dag With Shawn
Em 2010, foi lançado o álbum "Dag with Shawn", com gravações de 1985, contendo o vocalista original, Shawn Brown nos vocais.
Quando o descobri, achei bem legal ouvir a parte instrumental um pouco mais cruas com um vocal diferente daquele que já estava acostumado a ouvir no álbum "Can I Say".
Não tenho vocalista preferido. Gosto dos diferentes aspectos de cada um, acho Dave um pouco mais melódico e Shawn um pouco mais direto e "old school".
A melhor parte é que, além do lançamento do álbum de estúdio, Shawn voltou a assumir os vocais da banda em várias apresentações ao vivo, que podem ser conferidas no Youtube. Tanto ele quanto Dave ainda mandam muito bem.

finished listening Can I Say
Álbum clássico que sempre revisito. Mescla bem a velocidade e agressividade com momentos mais melódicos.
Em sua formação original, contou com Brian Baker (que já tocou no Minor Threat e, depois, no Bad Religion).
Os vocalista original, Shawn Brown chegou a gravar o álbum na íntegra, mas ele não foi lançado na época. Pois a banda o demitiu, supostamente por conta de atrasos nos ensaios e por decidirem seguir um caminho diferente. Aqui, quem canta é Dave Smalley.

#art #history: jazz juggernaut, arthur blakey (born #otd in 1919 to a single mum who died soon after art arrived), was raised by a family friend. he first gravitated toward the piano, but soon found his true groove with the drums & rose up through the ranks playing alongside bebop monsters charlie parker, dizzy gillespie & thelonious monk.

What alternative music service can replace Spotify and its library of popular music? My kids have a few playlists that have musicians like Taylor Swift and Imagine Dragons which I could buy, but I'm curious if there really is another alternative.
Apple Music, TIDAL, etc are not the options I want to hear.

#OTD in 1771.
Premiere in Milan of the opera Ascanio in Alba, composed by Mozart at age 15.
This is a pastoral opera in two parts by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart to an Italian libretto by Giuseppe Parini. It was commissioned by the Empress Maria Theresa for the wedding of her son, Archduke Ferdinand Karl, to Maria Beatrice d'Este on 15 October 1771.

Polish composer and virtuoso pianist Frédéric Chopin died #OTD in 1849.
To this day, Chopin's music remains one of the most widely performed, and an indispensable part of the universal piano repertoire. Along with Franz Liszt, he is the father of modern piano technique and influenced a whole line of modern composers, including Claude Debussy, Alexandre Scriabine, Maurice Ravel and Sergei Rachmaninov.

Put on your dancin' shoes, and behold as #ThePlaylist sashays over to you and throws you about in the most extraordinary rumba, for the theme this week is:
We’re in the mood for dancing
Many folks are heading out to christmas parties, where they’ll be cutting the rug with reckless abandon, so we’re taking the opportunity to celebrate all things dance. So two hours of dance floor fillers, and well, dancefloor emptiers, if we’re honest. But two hours of stone-cold bangers nonetheless.

Pssst: Interested in good stories?
Look no further (also because this is more like a full blown blog article than a short announcement)...
as there is:
RADIO IRRTUM! Special: Spoken Words in Music
(on air from Berlin)
↓↓↓ This is the English language announcement ↓↓↓
Da next issue of #RadioIrrtum! will air this Saturday, 2025/12/20, 8:00pm UTC+1, Berlin time. At Alex Berlin FM at 91MHz / DAB+ K7D around #Berlin + worldwide at https://www.alex-berlin.de/radio-livestream .
Last time on FM air waves, as civic stations in Germany are banned from using "UKW" starting 2026. Because everyone has nice sustainable DAB+ radio receivers nowadays. Right? RIGHT??
#Radio Irrtum! usually is a German language #radioShow exploring the sonic vastness of the #underground. Emitted transmissions may raise attention for new unheard #music all over this planet's genre spectrum. Don't worry about that #GermanLanguage - it's all about the #music!
But this time it's different! It will be a Special. About Spoken Words in music. That is, because I think Xmas - among other things - should also be about listening. To each other. To stories. Or like in this case to stories told within a musical construct.
While doing my research for this, something became quite apparent: #SpokenWords in music, beside it's powerful materializations in various genres, doesn't seem to be much of a topic in music science or music journalism – despite the lasting emotional impact that all the better pieces of Spoken Words music are able to inflict.
I.e. I couldn't find a simple historical timeline here. What are the roots? I have only one hour, so I cannot provide any deep dive, just a simplified overview. The time line of this show will range from 1966 until 2025, spoken words, 40% in German language, 60% English language.
Even if you d don't speek German: This combination of words and music will give you a sense about what's going on. This may be the only "genre" in music that will carry the emotions of the words over into your soul.
Covering music styles like
- #WordJazz from 1966
- #GermanRap from 2025
- UK #RetroAcid from the 2010ths
- #ExperimentalPop from the 80s + 90s
- 80s #IndustrialMusic
- #EastGerman Cassette-Underground
- UK Trash #ElektroPunk from the 2010ths
- German Experimental #EasyListening from the 2000s
Some of this couldn't be found on Spotify, despite being all iconic tracks. And most of those tracks happen to be my absolute all time favorits btw.
Consider this a little acoustic Xmas gift :)
If at least a bit interested in kewl unusual #music, tune in! 📻
Got questions? I'll gladly answer! Just ask here!
Playlist + manuscript after the show also here.
CU all (?) on Saturday.

I guess its time to do another #presentation, It's been a year now, so here we go.
I'm an independent #artist, I usually make electronic music, as well as gamer-type #music , I also make my own #musicvideos .
I am also a #cartoonist , I may not be professional but it is something I like to do and share. I know that this year I have not done much because of the creative block I had but I promise that next year there will be much more content, so thank you for your support.

many years ago (before its acquisition), I was a big fan of #LastFM. To this day it was the best music recommendation system I ever used. Deezer's (and I hear Spotify's), doesn't come anywhere close.
I would like to find something to fill that void - to help me find artists that I would otherwise not, based on what I listen to.
What is a good option these days?
The hidden history of 'White Christmas'
Nearly every pop music holiday song written in the past 80 years owes at least some of its DNA to one Christmas tune in particular: "White Christmas," written by Irving Berlin and sung by Bing Crosby, which he first recorded in 1942.
