The fact that the Republican establishment cannot understand the emotional appeal of this new Kid Rock song, or the pride possessed by those they dismiss as “white trash”, is why the God-Emperor will likely be more powerful after 2018 than he is now. Both Kid Rock and Trump represent is a civic nationalist, traditional American heritage spirit that is nevertheless identity-aware, if not pure identity politics, and stands directly in the way of the social justice, diversity, inclusivity, and equality Left.
It’s Alt Lite, not Alt Right. It’s populist, neither intellectual nor ideological. And while it’s ultimately insufficient, it nevertheless represents a tremendous step forward for Americans, because, unlike the Diversity Left, which hates America, and the Establishment Right, which cares about nothing except GDP and the well-being of the donor class, the Trump nationalists love America.
I think Kid Rock will win a Senate seat if he actually runs, because on the basis of this video alone, you can see that his rhetoric is powerful and his political instincts are formidable. Girls, guns, motor vehicles and beer is about as American as it gets, while the uncharacteristic absence of rebel flags and the inclusion of black rednecks is almost certainly significant given the demographics of Michigan. It’s not a bad song either.

Best. Timeline. Ever.
I suddenly have an image of the God-Emperor and his new Voice raising kitsune while rocking out to Akatsuki in the Oval Office. Glorious doesn’t even begin to describe it.
He did warn us
That he was about to break. Chester Bennington of Linkin Park commits suicide at 41.
We’re all very upset about Godfrey Elfwick, of course, but please remember, that’s not what Saint Godfrey would have wanted.
Babymetal with X-Japan
This is a great song and an amazing video. See if you can figure out what is so cool about it.
Japanese guitar porn
Recognize the guitarists? Not one, not two, but all three Kamis on stage at the same time.
From Dusk Till Dawn
First time for that song live. Quasi-live, anyhow. I was wondering how they were ever going to perform it when it didn’t appear in either Tokyo Dome set, but a backing digital track was really the only way that made sense given all the heavy processing involved. This is what the song actually sounds like. Anyhow, if you’re in Mountain View, you may be able to catch them tonight at the Shoreline Ampitheatre. In my experience, it’s a concert well worth seeing, even in these smaller venues.
Then again, one of my favorite moments from the Tokyo Dome shows is the first time the girls come down to the stage from the giant tower on the opening Red Night, see that there are 55,000 rabid fans surrounding them, and Yui and Su exchange a great “can you believe this?” look.
The wind blows in my empty wallet
Even if you never go to Japan, you have to love the fact that it exists. Where else would you find a kawaii metal song about low wage rates.
OH SWEET FOX GOD! It only gets better.
Isn’t this a renge spoon for ramen?
YOU CAN SCOOP UP THINGS WITH IT!
What else besides ramen can you scoop?
YOU CAN SCOOP UP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Because the world is a bowl of chaos, right?
Syncopation cover
Some of you may remember when I mentioned Syncopation from the Japanese version of Metal Resistance, which rapidly became one of my favorite Babymetal songs. You still can’t hear the proper recorded version on YouTube, but it has rapidly become a favorite of skilled YouTube musicians. Here are a pair of good ones for guitar and bass.
Even if you’re not kitsune, you can’t help but develop a keen appreciation for just how good the Kamis are when you see these awesome young guys playing cover versions. It’s startling to see how much better they are than the guitarists who were playing professionally in bar bands 20 years ago. Particularly if you’ve got someone in the house learning how to play No Rain, No Rainbow….
So did not see THAT coming
TMD has learned today from a source that Chris was allegedly going to help expose the goings-on in Mena, Arkansas, where it’s been alleged that a cocaine and child trafficking ring tied to the Clinton’s has been operating…. The biggest theory floating around the internet is the monsters behind “PedoGate” allegedly marked Chris for assassination due to his work with ‘sexually & physically abused kids’ via several foundations.
Say what? I’ll admit, the idea that he intentionally committed suicide seems unlikely, but I find it very, very, very hard to credit that this might actually be connected to Seth Rich, let alone Vince Foster.
Midisonik
Oh yeah. From now until the end of time, I think this will be my response to those who insist I never accomplished anything. I can’t believe it’s on YouTube. Cracks me up every time; I think I like it better than the actual song. The only thing that would be better if it was accompanied by a playthrough video.
Hang on… there must be… yeah, there we go!
Holy crap, as I was watching this the music sounded really familiar and then, about half way through there’s a flashing sign in the background “PsykoSonik”… It’s literally a SNESized version of their 1st record and if you’ve never heard of them, go check them out. I recommend both records but the second is the better of the two IMO.
