The Friday Night Parkdale Special
Music:Music History
Holy cannoli, we made it to a hundred episodes! For such a landmark, I decided to choose something that's currently pretty important: Ukraine. I was hoping that the Russian invasion would stop or be stopped before I had a chance to address the theme, but that was not to be so.
I've really only skimmed the surface here, but I tried to choose selections from a number of different genres, some of which are more lighthearted than others. There's a brief discussion of fascism in black metal, which is unpleasant but important because fascism isn't always as obvious as you might think, especially if the context is unfamiliar.
As always, I'm not multilingual so I've tried my best, and apologies for where I've mucked up translations or pronunciations, or missed bits of information. Many of these artists can be found on Bandcamp, Instagram, Facebook, and other social media platforms, so make sure to support them where you can, especially now.
