Does your country have its name in its national anthem?

Musers, Supermassive Black Hole is apparently a football stadium anthem

The more I learn about Ukrainian history, the harder the first line of its national hits:

Ukraine's freedom has not yet perished, nor has her glory, Upon us, fellow Ukrainians, fate shall smile once more. Our enemies will vanish like dew in the sun, And we too shall rule, brothers, in a free land of our own.

The lyrics were mostly written in 1862 when the freedom was a distant goal, used briefly in 1917-1920 before Ukraine was reabsorbed into the USSR, and then since 1992, where the "free land" proved to be still far off.

One day, I hope that Russia will get its act together, stop being an actual colonial empire, and join the democratic world. On that day, perhaps Ukraine and Poland can change their anthems begin "We made it, folks."

I remember you posting about a song made during the civil war that celebrated the gudari, but does EH have a national anthem?

Kaixo anon!

EH doesn't have any official recognition or institution, so nope. We have folk songs most of Basque speakers know (Euzko Gudariak, Txoria txori, Gora ta gora beti, Ikusi mendizaleak, etc) but none is an official anthem.

Eleven points to "New Americana"

Last of the bonuses - the top five - in the #FearOfMu21c project, crowdsourcing the greatest singles of the 21st century. Here’s an index post.

New Americana - Halsey

The fifth and final bonus point goes here, the second single from Halsey's album "Badlands". An anthem for the millennial generation, Halsey rejects the values of her parents, as all teenagers through history have done.

Halsey's generation takes diversity to heart, because diversity comes from the heart. They explained further, "It's this idea of these kids who are part of a generation where pop culture is so heavily influential that diversity doesn't scare them the way it scared our parents and their parents. We're more accepting of different walks of life. So I think the New Americana is racially ambiguous, people who are proud of their culture and they own it, possibly not from a binary of gender."

She sings of a generation that mocks itself, doesn't take itself too seriously. A pointed satire, to the point where stupid people stop understanding it. "I made it as click-bait-y, nursery rhyme-y as I could. I was making this comment on how we have this click-bait culture, but a lot of people took it seriously, like, 'Wow, she's being so buzzword-y!' Ding, ding, ding - that's on purpose!"

Comparisons have been made with Halsey's peers - Lorde, Taylor Swift from a step-generation above, Alanis Morissette and Fiona Apple from her parents' time. Halsey is angry, mean, troubled, and supremely talented. "New Americana" was written by Halsey with Larzz Principato and Kalkutta. It demands to be played twice, just as Zane Lowe did when premiering it on {Broomsticks} 1. It's a tremendous zeitgeisty rush, a foundational text for a generation younger than me…

…and that's what gives Halsey problems. Halsey's breakout hit is the one they got bored of. Having to perform one track over and over and over again could bore the brightest talent: just ask Francesco Gabbiani, who got cheesed off when he performed "Occidentali's karma" for months on end. I respect Halsey's position, and while my heart says this is the Song of the Century (So Far), my head says "no".

"New americana" is a perfect document of the cultural zeitgeist. It captures and explains what it's like to be young in the early years of the twenty-first century.

Live Report: Durry, Roe Kapara at The Troubadour (Nov 9th, 2023)

Live Report: @DurryMusic @Roe_Kapara at @TheTroubadour (11/9/23) #Durry & #RoeKapara brought their high-energy show to LA's historic venue #livemusic #concert @ThirtyTIgers @EpitaphRecords #powerpop #poprock #acoustic #emo #Poppunk

There’s an undeniable magic to The Troubadour. Whether it’s the rich history, the vibrant sound, the welcoming staff, or even just the disco ball – there’s an intangible quality that makes shows at The Troubadour simply feel good. Last Thursday, the power pop sibling duo Durry graced the stage with their touring band, and the entire venue seemed to buzz with positive energy. I’m confident in…

And storied windows richly dight, Casting a dim religious light. There let the pealing organ blow, To the full-voiced choir below, In service high, and anthems clear As may, with sweetness, through mine ear Dissolve me into ecstasies, And bring all heaven before mine eyes.

— John Milton

The X-Men: first class soundtrack should be ingrained in everybody's brains as an iconic anthem the way that in the way that everyone can recognise the imperial march or für Elise.

HENRY JACKMAN SHOULD BE UP THERE WITH MOZART AND BEETHOVEN!

Old Skool House Music Anthems 2 by Hatiras This is a recording of the music I played on Dec 26th 2015 at Coda in Toronto for the 11th annual Old School Boxing Day party. I dropped many of the tunes from the late 90s / early 2000s that, to me, were THE biggest house music anthems of the time. Of course, with only an hour set I could only squeeze in so many tunes (I might just have to revisit this series a few more times to completely showcase my influences). I realize that many house music veterans have heard these tunes a million times, but others from the new generation will be listening with fresh ears for the first time. Turn it up. Enjoy. These are my roots... Tracklist: 01. In & Out of My Life (acapella) - Adeva 02. Keep On Jumpin (Hatiras edit / original vs Rhythm Masters Mix) 03. Voices (Funky Junction Mix) - KC Flightt 04. Follow Me - Alyus 05. I Like It - Riva Starr 06. Lola’s Theme (Remix) - Shapeshifters 07. Work It To The Bone (Remix) - LNR 08. Preacher Man - Green Velvet 09. Obsession (Hombre Lowdown’s French Kissed Edit) - Technasia 10. Blame It On The Booty - Hatiras vs The Jackson 5 11. I Called U - ATFC 12. All Over My Face - DJ Sneak 13. Sume Sigh Sey (Siwell Remix) - House of Gypsies 14. Fly Life - Basement Jaxx 15. Beat That Bitch - Johnny Dangerous 16. Spaced Invader - Hatiras 16B. Lala Land (acapella) - Green Velvet 17. Dance - Earth People 18. Discopolis - Kris Menace & Lifelike 19. Everybody's Gotta Learn Some Time - The Korgis www.hatiras.com www.hatraxrecords.com
