@ Punj Lizard: Don't worry – we'll get an excellent Motorpsycho version of "Watcher" – featuring "God" of course
@ Punj Lizard: Depends on which "watcher" they base their version on. Lots of possibilities:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uXqWnvlMd_I (classic HW version)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9TKE0PUzro8&ab_channel=indigoinsf4 (Sam Gopal's "You're Alone Now")
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1jFC1IdShdo&ab_channel=Mot%C3%B6rheadBander
(Motörhead's latest "watcher" transmutation)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ZExd4uYeCQ (blues version with "god")
Probably the best song for MP to pay tribute to Lemmy (after serenading his "Motörhead Mama"
). Lyrics that perfectly express the spirit of the times:We are looking in on you now
What do you think you can do now?
You're very small from way out here
The last thing you will feel is fear
Give you a chance to do the right thing
Give you a chance to do the bright thing
Now our sense is all disgusted
We have found you can't be trusted
Where I come from, no-one smiles
Every inch exists in miles
Still it's cool, relaxed and calm
Sitting here on the funny farm
World in prison screams in pain
There are no leaders you can blame
Human greed destroys your sphere
And there's no room for you out here
You're on your own now
You're on your own now
You're on your own now
You're on your own now
@the conscience: You got a point there – digital interfaces sometimes seem to eat up humour. Happens to me all the time
. Let's hope for better times and enjoy the albums meanwhile…
@ devotional: you call Bent's comments obnoxious? In my opinion it was just adequate to the situation of musicians who urgently wait to be allowed to gig again. Where's the problem with that?
You don't have to share his view anyway – just give him his right of opinion as you claim for yourself!
Ok – "needle junkies" with "dead brains" need a shot of humour? Strong stuff…
I just wonder – why you so 100 per cent sure of your position? No doubts, no reflexion – do you call that humour? Strange how some people project their mindset on others
But you're right – a little more lightness and humour would help in these matters. So let's have a laugh together at the next MP gig!
Wow – new sandbox and still almost clean – I'm happy to leave my crap here immediately
I only fear the shitty stuff has already exhausted itself in the other thread, where it obviously didn't belong.
No Motorpsycho gigs for those not vaccined – or at least for those insulting conscientous people as "needleheads" – I will support that immediately! Sounds harsh – but those denying the impact of the pandemic deserve no better.
Ha! Now without too many emotions: If vaccination is a condition for allowing bands to play again, I fully support Bent's position. Better to play for a selected, vaccinated audience then not to play at all.
As for the various positions regarding vaccination mentioned:
Sure – we don't know too much about long term effects of the vaccines available – how could we? Scientifically speaking there is hardly any reason why those should arise, but you knever know. What we do know in the meantime is that there are quite some long term effects of Covid desease – it's not just a "flu" for some, but leaves them in bad condition for a long time after. Long Covid effects should not be belittled.
Those ominous two per cent often mentioned do refer to the number of fatalities among those suffering from Covid desease – not the number of the whole population. Still – every casualty is one too much. Sure – people die for various reasons anyway, but this is not an excuse to let the pandemic take its course without necessary measures. If you let it run wild many more people will catch it and so more people will die or suffer long term effects. And as people are psychologically not capable of observing caution measures for an unlimited time it seems vaccination is really the only way out, if you want your freedoms back again.
So come on you sissys and overcome your needle fear!
Maybe Bent's got the chance to demonstrate his liking of Roy Harper on this one – after the title reference on TAIO (TSOR). Just wishful thinking…
From the cover I presume it's going to be less heady stuff – more in the psychedelic freak folk direction, with mushy sound and mushroom head keyboard swirls all over the place and spidery guitar solos with lots of ant- or beetle-like notes creeping underneath
Heads off to Motorpsycho! Btw: More Is More! With MP anyway!
Thanks for recommending the Seliger book – looks very interesting.
The privilege thing is not relevant these days – it could only become once there is enough vaccine for all and there's a substantial number of people unwilling undergo vaccination. As there are good reasons for refusing vaccination (planned pregnancy resp. parenthood), I now consider privileges a problematic item. Nevertheless, they will occur inevitably – private companies (airlines, concert agencies etc.) might want to check your vaccination status beforehand. As long as these are private enterprises there's not much you can do against this.
Let's be unreasonably optimistic – another MP album this summer and a European Tour in October-November would be great!
I support the idea of privileges for people that have been vaccinated. Not basic privileges, but certain allowings in the cultural sector. This would help artists and clubs as well.
What makes this critical is the way of handling – it is our craving for convenience and our digitally supported laziness that creates the monsters. It would be sufficient that clubs or theatres check vaccination proofs at the entrance. No need of feeding critical data to those always data-hungry organisations with all the dangers implied: abuse of data, stigmatisation of non-vaccinated people etc.
So it is just the "tried and tested" software that presents the danger here, not the alledgedly "barely tested broth", that might change our lifes for the better again.
Fantastic! Best Møster! album since "Inner Earth" imho. Full onslaught as expected, but some melody appears here and there without ever dominating the full blown chaos. Reminds me of the more radical Soft Machine tracks/gigs around 1969/70 – yet fully up to date music. Motorpsychedelic Free Jazz!
Found this drifting on the waves of the web:
