The Bug presents Killing Sound Chapter 2: Inner Space

'From outer to inner space, I’ve always been smitten by sci-fi scenarios and their soundtracks. Since I was a toddler watching Dr. Who, Tomorrow’s People, Space 1999 etc. with my Mother (even if I was periodically hiding behind the sofa from fear of the aliens/monsters), I fell in love with the outer limits of the genre and and its rulebook burning scores. And as an electronic producer, the subconscious influence of the incredibly creative music used in this zone has stayed with me for life. The future shock sounds, synthesized psychedelia, bleeps, drones and white noise waveforms, created by many of music’s finest sound designers, composers and musical freaks, still continues to cast a spell over me today, and hence this tribute mix.
As time progressed, I’ve realized the attraction to sci-fi has little to do with aliens or bogeymen from outer space (although, yup, I can dig those too), but more to do with a lust for the future, a craving for the unknown and getting lost in the technological hyper-reality we all now call home. Science Fiction feeds my deepest psychological responses to the science friction therein. Hence, I employed JG Ballard as a ghost in this machinery, and dedicate this mix to his memory. RIP, a true genius.'

Deeyah Khan: JIHAD

The world has watched aghast as thousands of young men and women abandon comfortable lives in the West to join the barbaric ISIS (Islamic State of Iraq and Syria). Girls and boys have gone rapidly from being apparently well-adjusted school kids, to enthusiastically joining the ranks of Kalashnikov-wielding religious warriors and burkah-clad “jihadi brides”. It feels like a new and frightening phenomenon, one which has left many feeling bewildered and revulsed.
But as this new documentary film by Emmy Award winning director Deeyah Khan shows, Westerners embracing jihad and death is nothing new. For three generations now, young people across Europe have fallen prey to extremist groups and fought, killed and died with mujahideen movements from Afghanistan, Bosnia, and Kashmir, to Chechnya and Burma.
In this film, Deeyah, who has herself faced threats from extremist fundamentalists in the past, sets out to find out why the jihadi message has such an alluring hold on young Westerners.
First, she went back to the roots, spending two years with some of the leading figures in the British jihadi movement from previous generations. She secured unprecedentedly emotional and raw testimony from former extremists, learning from the inside what it is like to be drawn into radicalism, to have your life ruined by extremism and violence, a message which has continued appeal cascading down through the generations.
In JIHAD, Deeyah meets one of the founding fathers of the British jihad, who went abroad to fight, and who preached extremism to thousands of young Muslims across the UK and the West.
Deeyah’s search for answers then takes her to the streets of modern Britain, meeting today’s young Muslims, caught between extremism and the War on Terror.  She meets young British Muslims who feel angry and alienated, facing issues of discrimination, identity crises and rejection by both mainstream society and their own communities and families; but in surprising moments of insight and enlightenment, she also finds hope and some possible answers to the complex situation we are currently in

Here in beautiful Australia, there is talk of conducting a plebiscite (basically, what USA would call a referendum vote) to ask the electorate if they are in favor of marriage equality.

Australia doesn’t seem like the kind of place to get bogged down in something so mean-spirited and small-minded

bvdub - Yours are Stories of Sadness

True story...
In 2012, I was singing karaoke in the lavish VIP suite of the most opulent bar of Shaoxing. Hours in, at the height of drunken revelry, suddenly, literally out of nowhere, one of the hired girls walked over to me from the other end of the room, and whispered in my ear:
"When I saw you walk in, I knew yours was a story of sadness."
These are flashes of memories from that time... broken fragments, and spaces in-between... each a portrait of instances I have remembered that moment, each its own place and time. Every time I remembered that moment in the years that followed, I made a brief tribute to the beginnings of that realization, and the starting point for my mental wanderings that followed... putting that initial realization to sound, before going the rest of the journey in my own head.
Unlike all my other works which are meant to be in the foreground, these are meant to stay in the shadows... to be the quiet and subconscious soundtrack... each not a story, but just a moment... that moment you realize. Unlike the norm, when I elucidate every second to near unbearable levels ;), this time how that moment materializes or continues is up to you...
As a result, they are, for the first time, unnamed... to let each take on its own meaning, and its own fabric in both my story and yours...
4 years later, these were the 19 times I remembered that moment... they will surely not be the last

Untitled (Burj Al Arab) by Nick Cave

Here I am the Moonlight Man with a six-barrel shooter
*But I’m not that kinda guy, I have a dream
Sometimes I get the elevator to the top of the Burj Al Arab
And shoot my guns across Dubai
Bang, bang, bang, I’m that kinda guy

But mostly I curl up inside my typewriter
Curl up inside my typewriter and wish that I could die

Your legs are so long they should come with their own elevator
Don’t worry darling I’ll be coming around to see you later
Because between you and me and my best friend the housefly
I’m a Steve McQueen with a big, beautiful dream

I am god
I am god thinking about god thinking about Steve McQueen

It’s for me the sirens and the sylphs do their twilight pining
On Saturday night I walk on someone else’s stomach lining

Up and down the street, call me a cab, call me a cab
No I’m a housefly called God and I don’t give a fuck

Here I come up the elevator
Sixty floors hoping I don’t get stuck

And everyone out here does mean
And everyone out here does pain
But someone’s gotta sing the stars
And someone’s gotta sing the rain

I’m the atomizer
I’m the vaporizer
I turn everything to crud
I like it here in your flesh and blood
I’m the elevator man don’t you see?
You’re a spine lashed, long legged lovely young thing
Call me a cab, I’ll drive to the top of the Burj Al Arab and fire my guns across your stomach

Because someone’s gotta sing the stars
And someone’s gotta sing the rain
And someone’s gotta sing the blood
And someone’s gotta sing the pain

Watch out you fuckers
I’ve got my six shooter and my housefly on a lead
I’m Burj al-McQueen and I’m coming to make every last one of you bleed

God is great, chances are
God is good, well I wouldn’t go that far

I’m Steve McQueen the atrocity man
With my strap-on blood porn dream

But mostly I curl up inside my typewriter with my housefly and cry
I tell my housefly not to cry
My housefly tells me not to die

Because someone’s gotta sing the stars
And someone’s gotta sing the rain
And someone’s gotta the blood
And someone’s gotta sing the pain
