netcat Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 (edited) MA provided live soundtrack to Adam Curtis film essay Everything is Going According to the Plan during Manchester Festival. Robert Del Naja said to the audience it's gonna be a "collective hallucination" and played the cover of famous russian punk classic of the 80s, song by Egor Letov and his band GrOb Everything is Going According to the Plan - IN RUSSIAN. Then Liz Fraser from The Swans did a cover of russian punk chick Janka Djagileva song and she used lots of russian dirty words The film itself is allegedly about fates of nations and poodles of power http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/adamcurtis/posts/the_years_of_stagnation_and_th Edited July 10, 2013 by netcat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

netcat Posted July 9, 2013 Author Share Posted July 9, 2013 Good stuff, great message. I have seen The Swans, missed them the last two times they came around.as far i understood, the essence of the message here is no one needs social progress anymore, politicians and elites only want to keep status quo. but that's the way it's always had been - times of big changes are followed by times of stagnation.however this guy Adam Curtis knows all this russian stuff surprisingly well. i loved the story about Putin, his poodle, and russian rock stars being poodles of the regime.

dalsh327 Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 right, have no idea how i came up with the swans here I could understand some confusion about that - Jarboe's a good "weird" singer but Liz was on another level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
