Covidiots in music

some esoteric cover art for you to decipher:

I'd actually like to hear that album — Alexander Hawkins on piano, John Edwards on bass, Paul Lytton on drums — and obviously the music (which was recorded in 2019) won't reflect any of Parker's views, even though the track titles are apparently all taken from Daniel Defoe's Journal of the Plague Year. But nope.

More info here.

Not Big Boi :(

It wasn't straight covidiocy, I think it was more pseudo-Trumpist "stop the steal" disinfo or something but the one that hit me in the gut was Nightmares on Wax.

It was in a tweet sometime mid-last year -- I can't find a link now, I assume it's been deleted.

Oh the humanity

Nena has now gone over fully to the dark side, supporting the German anti-lockdown, coronavirus-skeptic 'Querdenker' movement and endorsing music by conspiracy theorist Xavier Naidoo.

That is 99 Luftballons Nena right?

Yup, that's the one. Nena had dropped hints before about her coronavirus skepticism, but this is much more clearcut.

99 Red Bull loons

...actually that doesn't work in context but I like it, so in it stays

Thanks for the heads up on the new Parker record, unperson. Sprang for that one immediately, not going to let his obnoxious views get between me and the music.

Is there a non-music version of this thread?

As we approach the covid singularity we find that Ian Brown and Ben Garrisson are in fact the same entity

my May tour of Ireland is cancelled as both our islands are currently medical experimental prison camps and we are being held hostage by GOVT for big pharma

Dammit now I have Bandz stuck in my head.

I was going to say oh ffs not now juicy j, but he's deleted it!

Ted Nugent tests positive for coronavirus after calling pandemic a ‘scam’ https://t.co/3CFZ37XqY3

— Independent Arts (@IndyArts) April 20, 2021

Is it wrong for me to wish fuckers like Nugent would drop dead and leave folks like Adam Schlesinger and John Prine to live.

It would take a saint not to wish death on Nugent.

Or a devil.

Come and Take Him!

Wang Dang Sweet Quarantang

lol

As mentioned elsewhere, we have two wishes left.

Not a musician but still a covidiot.

... Laurence Fox, Lee Hurst, Ian Brown, some guy called Zuby...

Was a bit worried there when I saw the Lotus Eaters Twitter handle but it's not the band

Yes, I had to check that one!

I'm too sexy for my shot

Presumably these fuckwits never consider the awful company they keep

Deeply Derpy when they post a tweet

Matthew Marsden, they're really pulling out all the big names

Former Destiny's Child collaborator though.

the heart's lone desire is to... not mask up

not a covidiot, just a multimillionaire tory who resents having to pay his musicians and road crew during a pandemic

Aww how sweet of @NoelGallagher to pay his crew and band mates despite all the gig cancellations... pic.twitter.com/ZqY7nRoZ1r

— Absolute Radio (@absoluteradio) April 29, 2021

Also a covidiot, though: https://www.spin.com/2020/09/noel-gallagher-refuses-to-wear-a-mask-in-public-liberties-being-taken-away/

‘you don’t need a pandemic, just the fear of one to get everyone to take the vaccine’ utopia (uk) channel 4 in....wait for it....2013 🤔 a great way to rehab big pharma post oxycontin 🤔and keep everyone isolated and wanting more ‘security’🤔 drc

— Dylan Carlson (@drcarlsonalbion) April 29, 2021

I like Dylan Carlson a lot, I did a phoner with him once and he was more than amiable. But… yeah, disappointing.

Honestly I think his habit of signing his fucking tweets is the worst revelation here.

also those smileys

Least surprising covidiot yet

quoting an outrageously daft channel 4 dystopian fiction series for truth!

not a covidiot, just a multimillionaire tory
