So everyone's criticizing the newest Rammstein video, Deutschland. I am a Rammstein fan, and while I knew they were getting ready to drop a new album, I had no clue they released a teaser for this video several, several days ago, nor the actual video two days ago, had it not been for an article about it being controversial.
But I know these guys, about as well as any random, semi-sorta German speaking, non German American girl from the deep south whose been listening to their music for the past twenty-ish years can know a band. I guessed about the video and was correct, because it's what they do. I'll explain.

This house, The Armour-Stiner house is a pretty unusual and fascinating one to look through. I'd not heard of it before today, but my fellow southern friend shared it stating, "I've always loved this house."; she even posted it an entire month ago and I failed to notice until now.
I'm clicking through the photo's and come across the photo just before this one, showing more of the room and only part of the ceiling, "Hey, it's that tomb ceiling I know!", meaning I've seen it on a few shows concerning Ancient Egypt, but I do get the names of all the things muddled. If you're curious, I was referring to the Tomb of Nefertari. But there's a problem with dates and also portrayal. Saw this on Instagram yesterday and all I could keep saying while screen capturing it for this post was, "That's not true..."
I find it uncanny that music has the capability of time travel. Sending one back to the very moment in time when they played that song until it was seared into their brain membranes forever. You can remember the season of the year, who you were in love with, who you were fighting with, the decor or set up of the room you were in, and all the feelings from that period jumbled up into that one song.
And there are hundreds of songs, if like me you immersed yourself into music like it was air, that send one on that time travel loop. I'm currently going through my music collection and I've time traveled and remembered and seen so much again that, while it's not an unpleasant feeling, it is rather weird. I saw this meme today and it made me laugh. It's not because Luke Perry died, because I was a little sad about that. I suppose it's because I understand the pretend first boyfriend bit, even though Perry wasn't him, and it made me remember how I even knew who he was to begin with. This, of course, is what made me laugh.
I attended this panel discussion this past Wednesday at the local library. It wasn't exactly what I thought it would be, as the information seemed minimal, but it turns out it was more informative than I first realized walking away at the end.
This image came through my feed today and upon first reading it I was like, "Well, sure it's all Cleopatra and Nefertiti...", then I saw it. Hatshepsut. And then there are the end Tzu-hsi. No one ever mentions them. I had to look up this Nikita Gill.
