Edinburgh based, into weird music, slowly finding my way back into "explore" mode after a few years ignoring new things.

Jenny Hval ‘s new, as yet untranslated into English, book, “Girls Against God”, sounds interesting: apparently it reimagines Norwegian black metal if it had evolved in a different direction, into something not too far from riot-grrrl, or something like that

So, fedipeeps, myself and possibly @kyzh will be down in London on the 31st Oct to join Extinction Rebellion in their declaration in Parliament Square. Anyone else want to go, and support the fight for our planet? Civil disobedience starts in less than two weeks now. Join us!

But please, don’t call me Princess, cos I’m never one of those.

I've never heard of Hanns Eisler before. This seems like a good introduction to his life, lacks links to the songs though.
"When the chief investigator, Robert Stripling, was asked what the purpose of reading so many quotes from Eisler’s songs, interviews, and articles may be, he retorted arrogantly “The purpose is to show that Mr. Eisler is the Karl Marx of communism in the area of music.” Eisler responded laconically: “That would flatter me!”"
