When I read that Al Jourgensen was going to re-record his earliest work, the album he’s talked about as a musical abortion that he hated because of the lack of control he had over it (when he could bring himself to talk about it at all), I assumed it would be radically different, now that he could finally do it his way. But hilariously, it… isn’t? Granted, I haven’t listened to the original version in a while, but it sounds fundamentally just as I remember it. Certainly it’s not that different, given how different it could have been - or how different I expected it to be. (Maybe the rest of the album is really different? What little else I’ve heard doesn’t sound that different, either.) Was it all about the English accent - was that the bit he actually hated, in retrospect?

In honor of the 40th anniversary Queen Official is playing their set on repeat.
It’s the cleanest video I’ve seen to date.
We watched it with our 6 week old daughter on a 13 inch TV in our living room in Detroit. Probably why our daughter is a huge Queen fan.
It also includes Brian and Freddie coming back out around 10pm for an emotional Is This The World We Created?
You know that every day a helpless child is born
Who needs some loving care inside a happy home
Somewhere, a wealthy man is sitting on his throne
Waiting for life to go by…
Side note, watch the roadie that hands Freddie the microphone when he goes from piano to stage, that’s been the same guy trusted with that job for almost all Queen concerts since they started doing arenas.

We’ve been watching the entire Live Aid broadcast for a few hours.
Queen will always be the face of Live Aid but if you’ve never seen Eddie Kendricks, David Ruffin, and Hall and Oates together, it’s really really good.

Growing up in Detroit I was/am a fan of The Romantics, another Detroit born classic.
I was listening to 80s on 8 on SiriusXM and the DJ was talking about founding member Wally Palmar and how he was Ukranian with immigrant parents growing up in Hamtramck.
Palmar was born and raised in the Detroit enclave of Hamtramck, Michigan, to Ukrainian immigrant parents. He speaks Ukrainian fluently. As a youth, he was attracted to the music of the British Invasion. Palmar graduated from Immaculate Conception Ukrainian Catholic High School in 1971.
I decided to read some more about one of my favorite bands and I found this.
Wally and Jack de Keyzer released No War 2 years ago about the war in Ukraine.
I normally don’t like new music but this is really good.
Featuring Ukrainian Bandurist Chorus of North America and the Ukrainian Children’s Choir’s Light of Peace and Children’s Hearts, accompanied by Halyna Yalovenko, and Choirmaster Andriy Dutka
