I'm always late to catch on; I was late to catch on to punk and such; I ended up burning some Clash songs into my brain and loving them. This song is to me incredibly powerful. Makes me think of being with a bunch of other guys, trying to be thuggy and drinking. Maybe that's somewhat the mindset of people carrying out murder.
As far as the "techno" side, here I am on the Linux machine again. It's kind of a punk attitude I think. So, I wanted to subtitle it with the lyrics. Long story short, I ended up doing it kind of "by hand"...sort of like programming. I tried an Adobe website that said it would caption videos for free but the words were wrong. Genius Lyrics provided these, which I think are right. ffmpeg, zsh, vlc, vim - Free tools.
It's kind of a pleasant diversion tinkering with the tech-the reality is, people are getting shot and blown up and starved. 😵
SomebodyGotMurderedSubtitled.mp4 There are also live versions on Youtube from back in the day, they're a bit raw though. I actually think the sound of this studio version is incredible.
October 15 life goes on....No Kings II coming up. Writing this on my 2014 MacBook running Arch Linux. Watching Colbert. Not feeling like making any profound pronouncements right now. Not sure how to do emojis in vim on Linux, although I guess there's probably a way.......😀
