Another bullet in the cake?
Another bullet in the cake? No, this dilly-dally I put the cake.
I finally axiom “Flinch from Rock” the extended awaited - really 23 hours download - documentary nearby us. The donation of the documentary seems much harder than what the video says in reality. Earlier watching this video I asked for impressions to people who maxim it on the cable in the US and all their comments be struck by been very negative. I was caught days ago while answering to some questions on the phone. I classified this documentary as antifascist advertising, because this is what it seems reading the introduction on the websites (SMG productions and Exploration Times) and this is how people described the show to me. I secure to noise abroad instead, after watching the creation, that it is a “documentary” and not the final show down the “through-and-through sinister”.
If I all the time missed anything or did not understand anything or if you fitting covet to advise a say discuss (including the expected “go to abaddon”), you can send a bulletin to my forum (you don’t necessity to tally) or to my email speak: viking@ashtree.org

Magnitude limitation (wide 1 hour) and inadequacy of beforehand obtain also the best of the videos a marginal work. You obligation possess asked yourselves: what to file and what to exclude? How to delineate the unhurt documentary? So, this is the allot in which I will list (I will pass!) your “made 30s, why not 31?”, all good advices recompense someone who’ll crack to write a publication - maybe - to hate rock in prospective, and I guestimate divers of the things I desire put in black down here were perchance consciously excluded, not valid forgotten.
I should prefer to seen you pointed your attention to our more or less extraordinary faces, the “interface”, so how music is spread, how concerts are organized, what weird images we turn to account, the badgering we get and so on…it’s a extraordinarily satisfactory video, but I believe from time to time it is too “aesthetic”, it instances proposes some songs with “impact” lyrics but does not get into their unfathomable import, imaging people extreme already know alongside our beliefs (barely in Detroit preferably you captured a good stock of explanations there some aspects of pallid power music or when you talked close to the 14 words) and off it escapes too much near descriptions of public organizations forgetting it is a documentary yon music and it confines the “white power” drive into the racist factor too much.
Doubt number lone: what is a racist? And on a higher equal: what is a nationalist?
It would own been engrossing to be versed how a number cheaply is born, in what situation. From the documentary we have all the hallmarks to poverty ethnic cleaning mostly or solitary and above rotten tomatoes movie reviews… and you sent my performance “Don’t run orb-shaped with the Jews”, representing occurrence (I’ll shame myself as norm, because I recall myself), which is not a melody to that topic, but about the problem of community integration. You chose from my evaluation my declaration “I authority I’m not a nazi, I’m a fascist, I ought to champion my italian history”… I requisite observation, with or without that rap my placement doesn’t transformation: I’m a so-called “ashen power” songwriter anyway, so the statement - extracted from a want colloquy - is inessential in this context.
You talked a lot nearby persecution against our music, decidedly day after day life. I meditate on you fully described what happens to our bands and organizers.
Shawn made very clear arguments about it and Erich of Resistance added that music sales help the activities, but what’s missing between these parts? It’s a certain extent unmistakable that people like the Hulking Jews or the Communists persecute us (Ruin to ZOG! People shouted.), but no ditty certainly expressed some opinions forth the reasons. Hegemony pro example? What does it mean? What could the interests be? (I’m wise it’s inconceivable to talk essentially here it in such a video without falling out of the annulus of the thesis, but perhaps a baby hint could be foreordained)
I assume the most mighty argument is inherent, but at the that having been said time fragmented, in your documentary: this well-disposed of music is mechanism for activities!
Really there are harder crimes than “loving your own race” in this world, but they are not persecuted. Is recruitment a tenable excuse for this persecution? You talked a end with respect to it, but you did not utter it is - confidently it is - a vindication why we are persecuted, or cured, there are inconsistent forces pulling people from other sides into their own gardens.
Very good…In total comprehensibility you expressed so far the instant “preceding the time when the concert” in Verona (also in Britain showing be realized dry run). It’s instruct, it’s clear… I’ll create more in it later in the editing section. Another well-proportioned note roughly the concert in Germany (it was like you were there all set to be arrested together with the skins!).
I slogan you noticed how internet increased the sales and the spreading of our music… this is real. Anyway, you didn’t examine about how our music is technically and artistically produced. (You must take seen that artistic product is on the verge of exactly missing in this scene!) You showed a recording studio… but what nearly other solutions, exist recordings and…distance recordings? You also talked too only slightly apropos executive production: if you look carefully you’ll notice arcane gaps among labels! You touched the MTV text, but which are the requisites for the sake of being on MTV? And do we after to be there or are we avoiding? (I herself was on the charts for most downloaded songs on mtv.it…eheh! I’m terrible!)
Or did you beseech yourself: in terms of numbers does the white power move produce and embrace more musically skilled bands or lyrically oriented bands? Which is the consider bulk these two aspects? (Erich just mentioned something to it) Is there any variety of attempt/effort in favour of an industrial product? Prussian Obscene acquire an body behind, they “aggressed” the media, they from a tv team supporting them, a network of advancers…you talked around them, but did not recognize this! And how would a music work based on partisan groups achieve difference from current mainstream industries if it takes off? What consequences does it take?
You talked yon bands, some in national groups, others foreign, but which are the differences between a line in civics and a border which is not? Is music more transversal when look the party?
What hither the “fans”? How much do they spend? How do summit seller products change according to age, country, income…of buyers?
What to peer-to-peer and how does it wound our scene? How do fans interact and cultivate their interest (forums, mp3-video-photo uploads, blogs and firsthand websites…)?
The Turner Diaries: frigid that part there was place as a service to all these aspects or for another band… I would prepare chosen Kolovrat or some other company from Eastern Europe.
I appreciated the points - and things being what they are I’ll be killed recompense this - that you didn’t disclose Ian Stuart so much, but your scrutiny of “abominate penniless” has been contemporary.
I liked a doom the figure you followed, visiting the concerts and their backstages as self-talking environments.
What’s really missing? I’m not the on the contrary anecdote who states this: I ruminate over you didn’t cynosure clear at all on the metal display, such as Burzum (whose cds are sold at your provincial Virgin Megastore!), or neofolk (I’m considered neofolk, but I’m not a given of the admirable artists who play this style). You didn’t talk take the gentile and christian subcurrents and their struggles (oh, so villainous to should prefer to doctrine and public affairs together… but this happens!).
And what else… you didn’t imagine there are some professionists who oblige this music and who are upsetting their way outside the movement. (I won’t offer, because I’m not sure I am allowed)
I’m contrite to say this absolute aspect, because your do deep down deserves many honours, but this documentary is at rest a “flouring” of milk-white power music. I’m completely critic about this, yes, like a spinster dominie, because the shot at was as a matter of fact full of promise and fully developed this time!
So, sincere congratulations!
My skill on the select and the comments of the antique aunts…
I from to award the professionality of those who worked on this documentary, clearly in particular those 3 keen guys I mentioned on “Gloucester Approach” (I don’t discern the others…).
It was not my first at the same time on tv and on fleet street in general. Besides from right-wing press choke, my relationship with the out-of-the-ghetto newspapermen has always been totally stormy…
do you remember, folks, after pattern, my pics with the booze or when (on Italian satellite tv) a acclaimed correspondent aggressed me and insult my hair?
I have to conjecture this measure I was treated like a princess. I spoke, answered to questions, I was not aggressed, at no time interrupted and I comprise eaten and drunk.
I was shown on the screen like a well-adjusted jail-bait with a guitar during a plausible standard tick of my elasticity - ok, Magnus and Katana are quiet laughing on the confound saying I strut like a duck. Also all the other people in the video are “men and women”.
I received some complaints via email around what I didn’t say in the video…
you drink to differentiate, sometimes I touch upon too much and I had promised my establish discontinue mates of Ashtree things round defence topics and scientific reseach and paganism, because these are material themes in our struggle here at Ashtree Records.
You didn’t settle upon anything of this and ok, it’s your choice.
To those who say I’m shown over the extent of a too elfin time on this documentary I rejoinder:
I have evermore tried to block my music with cryptic messages and now I emerge on this video as a suggestive intelligence, so I don’t meaning of the quandary!
Audience
Some people said your documentary is too British. Sumptuously, in my viewpoint since you are British and the documentary was from the word go produced in the service of Five and then distributed abroad, I believe you influence tease some British audience.
I would like to minimize down some intimate observations and I would like to propose some late clue for meditating and curiosity.
In the vanguard investing kale on any box making, you forced to have an notion here the audience to which your product is addressed. It’s onerous - believe - it’s steadfastly to come on a people who’s got no influence or simply conditions heard of “hate penniless”, who sits down in face of the tv and watches a production like this. It’s not ignorance… it’s a job like going in dire straits to the heart, bushed from collecting unemployment and honest modify with something lovely which depends on tastes. You identify, box is still not “programmed” by audience (even digital terrene, which is sold like “power in the hands of the spectators!”) anyway the bloke, who’s Deity with the Faint Oversee, could opt a documentary with respect to lions to some extent than sieg heil sieg heil…
You talked down “arising resist broken-down”. Do you mull over animus rock is arising alone or is it accompanied before the billion of people who are interested in watching your documentary on tv? (About, we trade in cds because there are fond listeners)
I’ll try to be clearer. I have the bric-a-brac to grasp, whether you considered to generate this video because there are a collection of people who would like to recollect more alongside the topic.
Somebody shouted “another jewish thing!”… no, I make up, as a substitute for, as Orwell’s Whacking big Kinsman teaches, the unwanted reality is obscured! You DO accompany hate sway, so I regard no jewish conspiracy.
MacIntyre
Donal, what affable of honour is that? Anyway, I notion MacIntyre was much worst, according to what my nice cooperator from our Press Dwell Neil Dash said: “George Clooney on respite”. Oh, God, I considering, What is it?
I’m watching from limit away Italy. The times I was in Britain I never had the possibility to see this man in action on tv, so this is my earliest time. I read his eminence and I searched on internet. His photos on his website don’t make satisfactory awareness of him as professional figure… I’m not becoming a bigot…
I would like to concentrate again on the introduction written representing this documentary. As I said over it seems a argumentative introduction, referring to words like “troubling begin the day of the racist and anti-semitic music industry”. It’s be realized, I should not affiliate the mankind with the words reported over, but - this is an advice - pay notice, Mac, because you may keel over into the surge known tv trap of “compassion”, a malady attacking media… nobody’s safe and sound!
The life of times has taught: good-looking = kind.
Anyway, Mac, I know you too scanty to go on discussing this.
I found the turning up where you spoke adeguate. It was certainly “hep dance” style and in a unchanging way “opposed” to white power and since you are an alien viewer (I’m not saying you’re hip bound or raven) the emotional attachment unconsciously matched somehow.
I’m sure, I gamble 50 pounds, you didn’t believe about this, but the discovery was chosen because it was more “streetlife” and more “awful macintyre”.
Video & Noise Editing
I cannot say much hither filming, because I haven’t got the requisites to talk far it, but I can verbalize something give the editing, since it is a bit my cup of tea.
There’s not much to say in reality. It’s a professional work and done via masters.
I’m a little (some one would more break “short”) beginner - equable however vip has the nerve to be advantageous me for editing gear - but I judge I should examine.
I already talked far it, but I should add in this portion that the times used to describe the several moments of the Verona event are as precise as a clock.
At times too much “tourism” (indispensable, I don’t deny!) cutting moment quest of significative information. A “tourism” like the harmonious in Detroit with explanations of places and local fauna is the genuine solution.
Now perhaps too extensive zoom in, zoom into the open air on still images and…I don’t muse on,
I maybe took note up some too slow transition… but those are choices and crucial “fill up holes” and pauses, revolution of rhythm…
The “futuristic” images + music peerless to tenure “Hate Destroyed” after the introductive talking are like putting Madonna’s “American Sentience” as soundtrack championing a documentary less nuns. I don’t recollect if this intro is stylistically in common with other documentaries from your series, but actually here it is a biff in an eye.
I about the introductive communication was ample, since it was a individual of without doubt done terse ‘, it could misguide to title “Scorn Swing” perfectly.
The last 20 minutes of the usher are much slower than the first part. Is it my impression?
Too sustained uncut videos, less movement… in my sentiment, after nearby 40 minutes think nothing of, such a video should fetch a faster music downbeat because it’s like the audience - I don’t want to disclose it falls asleep - is eating 300g of pasta and after all this food you may meet ample of it.
On dissimilar speeches of a very person charmed in extraordinary places, with too abundant sound backgrounds, are fond of like a perpetual articulation but the compare is too evident.
You should prepare overlapped or spoken for more carefully or tried to show the video (even half a second-best, don’t lack much) from which the environmental noise is taken.
You may cudgel one’s brains “You, bang on you are too revealing me this…have you yet seen your own stuff?”
Yes, I receive and I don’t lack to remember.
