Date: 2018-03-31 08:30 pm (UTC)(Eight Miles Wide shows up occasionally, always makes me smile; and Bedlam Boys is completely redeemed by the very martial version the back of my head cooked up: bagpipes in the background providing a deep drone [and maybe the occasional cackle], big old bodhran for to keep the beat - Freak Army needs marching music, amirite?)

Date: 2018-04-01 03:24 am (UTC)I went digging for some "less popular" Shriekback, and found a gem that did exactly what I needed it to do - the rube is long-gone and I have intriguing images of the Hanged Man to play with (gotta wonder what the esoteric backgrounds of some of these people are - the politics of Shriekback and Gang of Four and such are all pretty obvious, but I had more than one "wait, what??" moment from today's video)....
