Unusual music obsessions thread[views:22500][posts:68]_________________________________ [May 22,2008 12:02pm - xmikex ""] I think I've posted something like this before. But it's still fun. Post music you've been listening to lately that is totally out of the norm for you. Others feel free to make suggestions, and childishly ridicule people. Weird shit I've been listening to lately: - old Reggae and ska specifically Prince Buster, and Toots & the Maytals - Thai music - the Rocky IV soundtrack (which is the most incredible music ever to lift weights to, as long as you don't get stuck on James Brown "Living in America" in the middle of a bench press set. ) |

And, I will admit, a friend of mine burnt me a copy of the new Panic at the Disco album for my birthday, and I think it is amazing. I didn't have high hopes based on the way the media has sold these guys, but the new stuff is Beatle-esque in its composition and execution. I'm a faggotus maximus, but luckily Rotten Sound, Entombed, Victims, and Coliseum are also in the car. |

| _______________________________________ [May 28,2008 8:31am - y_ddraig_goch ""] bennyhillifier I think I have a FTW here, this is Yezidi music. brief history of the Yezidi people: Basic teachings and Beliefs of Yezidism: Yezidi beliefs are a complicated mixture of Islamic and Zoroastrian beliefs, with Gnostic, Jewish, and Shamanistic elements. Worship centers around Angels (Malek is from the Arabic word for 'angel'), the most important of which is named Melek Taus, or the "Peacock Angel," also known as Lucifer. Lucifer plays a different role in Yezidism, where he is considered the chief Archangel, and the creator of the material world. In Yezidi belief, Lucifer is not a fallen angel, nor Satan, nor the enemy of God. In Yezidi cosmology, the Universal Spirit (the Supreme, unknowable deity) created a pearl, which became shattered after a period of forty thousand years. Melek, or Lucifer, used the remains of the pearl to create the material world. After this creation, the Spirit created the remaining Angels. Yezidi theology claims that Lucifer was forgiven for his transgressions, and those who revere him are the spiritual elect of humanity. They are forbidden from referring to him as Satan. That's right, they worship Satan! but not in his form as evil devil dude. They've been persecuted by Muslims, Christians and Jews for this worship of a good lucifer. |
