Death in June - Little Black Angel

[@agnlaa2387]

This is a cover of "Little Black Baby," a song recorded by the People's Temple Choir. On the album "But, What Ends When the Symbols Shatter?" Death In June covered three other songs by the People's Temple Choir ("He's Able," "Something Got Hold of Me," and "Because of Him"), each of them with slight but key lyrical changes that make the songs much darker.

[@toweringsequoias1590]

Neat! Did not know this!

[@SWilde-ws9qg]

I love Nina Simone and DI6. Her version of Little Brown Baby is beautiful.

[@AliceBowie]

@user-iz6er1lz7u yeah, it would have been awesome to have a tour with Nina Simone, Douglas P, David Tibet, Stephen Stapleton, p Christopherson, Albin Julius, boyd rice, rose McDowell, Tiny Tim, John balance, thigh paulsandra, William Bennet, Richard d James, alec empire, venetian snares, squarepusher, varg vikernes, stone roses, killing joke, revco, cop shoot cop, cramps, 1000 homo dj's, right said Fred, klf, and antony and the johnsons for abo boomerang techno.

I just realized this is basically one riff for the entire song. I got an acoustic recently so this gives me hope that I might one day learn at least one FRIGGEN song!

[@shadul]

(...) Tears fall, echoing in dark pools. A bell is shattered. Punishment begins. The angel weeps to be so tortured. In sweat and pain the ritual blows are placed. On Command! The kiss of agony. Bloody petals blossom. Our first rehearsal’ for love and for death’. Beauty is transitory. But without it life is meaningless. The rose must be taken in its prime and severed with steel. ‘Honour the Blade!’ (from Brown Book Vinyl) Ty DIJ!

@Apossession The name Death In June is a mondegreen, Douglas P once misheard Patrick Leagas in the studio and heard whatever he said as "Death in June", and settled on that as the name for the band.

[@supernerd4245]

It was Death and Gloom is what Patrick League said. So Douglas thought he said Death in June.

[@claudiotavares9580]

I think is a reference of Operation Overlord and the fall of the western front, also to Operation Bargration. So, june basically marked the end of the trind reich.

@AnUUb1s At the start of the eighties, Tony and I were involved in radical left politics and beneath it history students. In search of a political view for the future we came across National Bolshevism which is closely connected with the SA hierarchy. People like Gregor Strasser and Ernst Röhm who were later known as 'second revolutionaries' attracted our attention. [Cit. Douglas Pearce.]

[@kemicon]

@kemicon I figzed it out. He just doesn't bar the chord. Pretty easy song but the strumming makes it a bit difficult to sing at the same time, but that's probably because I'm not a very good guitarist. Baby steps.

[@ignoranttwat]

@fritzo62 Well, probably no-one will ever know for certain, and it doesn't really matter anyway. I did remember that thing about the German releases, when he explained the meanings of the songs to German officials in order to legalize selling them in Germany but he never bothered taking them to court because of the money I think. Anyway, it's all speculation.

[@youngalistairyou]

Nice fringed helmet he's wearing Claudia winkleman would be envious

[@kemicon]

I looked up the tabs and everyone has it as Em, G, Em, Bm, Em, A11, Em. But watching this video it doesn't look like He's playing a B minor because it's not barred. Granted I am just learning so I'm probably missing something (which should be damn obvious since I can't even play this song yet) I can play something that sounds close but I'm not sure what the chord is, not only that but if I substitute a D chord for Bm it sounds pretty close and is much easier to play. Any tips appreciated.

And did you? After a decade do you still play? If not, why’d you give it up? Bet you weren’t expecting a random reply all these years later haha. Hoping you’ve been well and that the years have been fruitful for you. Lord knows ten years ago I was getting myself into some real trouble...made it out alive but for the grace of god and all of that noise...cheers, friend.

[@kemicon]

@@pinktooth5473 I did. I ended up taking lessons and watching a bunch of tutorial videos. Learned maybe twenty songs. I can do a pretty solid Johnny Cash like "Personal Jesus" I also learned "Kiss me Deadly" by Generation X which is probably the most technical song I can play. I forgot how to play about a half dozen songs. I wrote several dozen songs as well and have forgotten all of them pretty much. I eventually bought a proper acoustic guitar and I play every so often but not as often as I would like.

@@kemicon kudos to the followthrough! Over the years the distance between me and that instrument has grown but I can still run through my old sets reasonably and that's all I was really lookin' for anyways so no real worries, right?

[@kemicon]

@@pinktooth5473 You had to mention synths.... That is a sad point. I bought a bunch of classic synths and drum machines over the years. Built up a nice little retro midi / CV studio. I have a SCI Pro One, SCI Six Trak, Roland Juno 106, Roland 606, 707, 727, DR 55, Akai MPC 1000, and some of those Roland boutique boxes that came out, like the 909. I had it all set up so you could just push play on the MPC and everything jumped to life. All synched up. No external CPU needed. All of it is sitting in my parents basement at the moment. My girl moved in with me and we needed the space. I miss it a little bit but nobody was listening to my music andI felt it wasn't going anywhere. so I just gave it all up. Some day I'd like to get back into it.

[@pinktooth5473]

@@kemicon my dude one of the most gratifying things that I've done over the years has been to slowly increase my budget noise machine collection and intermittently upload to a bandcamp page. It's all name your price aka free, mostly just kind of a storage for my ongoing project but every so often someone who is outside of my friends circle checks my stuff out and I'm so happy that someone else can share in what I get out of drone/noise/experimental work. I 100% hear you on the space issue but I'd strongly encourage you to not loose touch with all that stuff, that's a right respectable collection of machines you've got there! The past couple of years have been super duper rough but in a not completely bad way (?) and I stopped fiddling w the knobs for a while and once I got my feet back under me and was able to really get any kind of workable rig set up again I was reconnected with such an enriched feeling, the kind I'm certain you've also felt. Best of luck getting back into it all, man, really hoping that you can sooner or later!

[@agnlaa2387]

I don't want to put words in his mouth, so I can only speculate as to the meaning. "Lamenting the fall of Eurocentrism" I can certainly see as a possibility, but I don't really know about the second part. Or perhaps there is little meaning, just an odd, creepy rendition of an odd, creepy song. After all, "Leper Lord" has an origin that's not all that deep.
