Never in history have the moralizers been the good guys.
Never. You always thought you were good? You could test that on yourself. Do you have the feeling that a great many people are wrong and you have to stop them? And you only see good in yourself? Then this song is for you. Enjoy!

A wild, sweaty and uncompromising night.
It's nice that there are recordings of it. It's a very impressive memory. On a Tuesday evening in the East German mountains. Some of the people who were there had traveled a long way. It was a “one man” band evening with KoneKrawallKlub, Reverend Elvis solo and the incredible Joe Buck (Yourself). Another kind of magic that only happens very rarely.

One of the most extraordinary musicians to date is Billie Holiday.
I don't know what it is that makes her so magical. I've always listened to her music, even though it's not really my thing. I think Lady Day has this depth because she knows what she's singing about. She grew up in a brothel as a child, most likely experiencing all the hardships one could imagine. She became the absolute superstar of the young jazz scene. She was especially loved by the white “enlightened” bourgeoisie, who liked to look at negroes on stage. Hypocritical and dishonest as they are to this day, Ms. Holiday was only allowed to use the back entrance.
Just like today, they claim that this humiliation was not at all their fault but that of the evil racists somewhere in the south behind the mountains. But it's not true! Just like today, they are hypocrites and liars, worse racists than the KKK could ever be. Shame on you!
In retrospect, it can be said that Ms. Holiday left behind wonderfully sad, deep, incredibly beautiful songs. Only at what a price.
Thanks to Allene Sweetwater Lynn I tried to pay my tribute.

I do everything I do just to have the right and the time to make music. Unless you're in the commercial mainstream, it's not exactly a highly regarded activity. But screw that. If you want to support it, you're welcome to buy vinyl or just stream it with your friends. #music #support #reverendelvis
Oft werde ich gefragt: Kommst du mit in die Disco?
Nein. Man wirft mir oft vor, leider, dass ich gegen gewisse Methoden der Musik in diesen Tagen bin. Das ist völlig falsch. Ich bin für jede Methode, die die Musik so herrichten kann, dass sie Vernunft aussagt statt Dummheit.

Corruptio et idiocy – Ode an die Ignoranz – Sinfonie in Am – op. 666
Dieses Jahr ist meine Stadt, in der ich lebe und aufgewachsen bin, angeblich "Kulturhauptstadt Europas". Eine Aktion, die offensichtlich zur Demütigung der lokalen Kultur gedacht ist.
Weil mir das so Spaß macht und mit unserem Haus und "Undead Chemnitz" eine der wichtigsten Kultureinrichtungen der Stadt verschwinden wird. Habe ich mir überlegt, eine Sinfonie zu schreiben. Ich wollte sie "Corruptio et idiocy - Ode an die Ignoranz - Sinfonie in Am - op. 666" nennen und sie, auch wenn ich sowas normalerweise nie machen würde, meiner Stadt widmen.
Leider kann ich keine Noten, aber ich habe Unmengen Lieder in meinem Leben geschrieben, aus denen ich schöpfen kann. Dank Musescore, einem Open Source Notationsprogramm, kann ich aber Gitarrentabulatoren nutzen (das sind gewissermaßen die Noten für die Gitarre) und die kann ich richtig gut. Die kann ich vom Blatt spielen. Musescore ist ein wunderbares Beispiel wie Open-Source-Software funktionieren kann. Ein extrem dynamisches Projekt, das fast wöchentlich Updates bekommt. Die Herausforderung ist ja dort nicht so sehr das Programm an sich (da waren auf jeden Fall fähige Leute am Werke) sondern die vielen, vielen Sonder- und Unterbedingungen die 2000 Jahre Musiknotation so mit sich bringen. Jedes Instrument und viele Regionen haben eigene Regeln.
Das geht nur zusammen. Musescore hat eine aktive Community aus Komponisten, Musikerinnen, Arrangeuren und Softwareentwicklern. Ist also das Gegenteil von "Kulturhauptstadt Europas Chemnitz"

I always just wanted to make music, not do anything else (maybe get laid a bit). And now this. Now we have to deal with AI technology and War and Peace... and all that crap. Still, I found time in between to release a single in Japan. Long sold out, but here it is digitally. Cover by Darren Merinuk #Canada.

Southern Doom – step int to the sun (you deserved to be killed)
I really hope someone tells me that the lyrics are unacceptable. Anything else would disappoint me.

What many people don’t know is that we are actually a soul band.
Here we are opening for “Those Poor Bastards” at UT Connewitz, another underrated soul band. Eons ago.

Reverend Elvis – Waitin´ Around to Die (Townes Van Zandt Cover – first try)
I must admit, I've never spent much time with Townes Van Zandt. I know the album of the Neurosis singer and I know that Johnny Cash liked him. But I gave it a shot. The times are dark and so is the music
