Adolf Hitler: My Part in His Downfall, published in 1971, is the first volume of Spike Milligan's war memoirs. The book spans the period from Britain's declaration of war on Germany to when Milligan lands in Algeria as a part of the Allied liberation of Africa. The preface anticipates the book will be part of a trilogy; years later, the cover of the fourth volume said: "Don't be fooled this is the last, volume four of the war memoirs." Ultimately, however, Milligan published seven volumes covering his war service, his first nervous breakdown and reallocation to rear-echelon duties, his demob and early years trying to break into the entertainment industry. In Mussolini: His Part in My Downfall, having been stung by a critic who called the biographies unreliable, Milligan wrote, "I wish the reader to know that he is not reading a tissue of lies and fancies, it all really happened."[1] The presentation is an unusual format freely mixing narrative anecdotes, contemporary photography, excerpts from diaries, letters, rough sketches and performance programs, along with comic sketches and absurd fake memoranda from ranking Nazi officials; the hard facts are usually apparent. Milligan says in the preface: "All the salient facts are true"; at the end of the preface: "There were the deaths of some of my friends, and therefore, no matter how funny I tried to make this book, that will always be at the back of my mind: but, were they alive today, they would have been the first to join in the laughter, and that laughter was, I'm sure, the key to victory."[2] The book was made into a film with the same title and adapted into a stage play.

While Life After Death is rich with vibrant singles like "Hypnotize" and "Mo Money Mo Problems", the album's darkness is undeniable. A dominant theme is death whether by fictitious murders or Biggie prophesizing his own. The song that captures this best is “My Downfall.”On Episode 5 we have an ensemble of guests breakdown the brilliance of the descending track. "My Downfall"'s producer Nasheim Myrick makes another appearance to further illuminate Biggie's crown. Then the man who loved Christopher Wallace like none other Lil Cease joins me for one of his realest interviews ever.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Happy Friday! Welcome back to Dude, Don't Touch My Cane! In today's episode, we're talking about another perspective of how people regard disability, known as the Moral/Religious Model of Disability. We tell you the perceptions of this model. We also share some thoughts and personal experiences to help you understand how the religious model has maybe influenced the way we think about disability.

On this week of Poetic Justice hosts Cody & Pearson catch back up after being off for a couple weeks by reviewing some headlines, discussing the new Pluto x Baby Pluto, from Future and Lil Uzi and MGK's new album, Tickets to My Downfall. To wrap up the guys discuss & debate who they think is more key to creating music; the Artist or the Producer. 

Delivering lyrics with the speed of a bullet train, Cleveland rapper Machine Gun Kelly experienced a meteoric rise in late 2011 when he transitioned from grinding out self-released mixtapes to working with major labels. From there, the rapper skyrocketed to superstar status, with each of his albums charting in the Top Ten. A beef with Eminem, a film career, and even some reality show appearances would follow as the high-powered lyrical rap style of albums like 2019's Hotel Diablo morphed into a driving emo-rock sound on collaborations with Travis Barker and on the Barker-produced 2020 album Tickets to My Downfall, which topped the Billboard 200.

Album Review: MGK- "tickets to My Downfall"

Machine Gun Kelly is a certified emo kid. As a teen, the 30-year-old pierced his nipple with a safety pin and would spend his days recreating Jackass stunts. “I was full on wearing JNCO jeans and skating with my friends every day and making music,” MGK tells Bustle from Los Angeles, where he’s gearing up to square off against Post Malone in a virtual beer pong tournament. “[It was] the early 2000s and 50 Cent and Linkin Park [were big] at the same time. Blink 182, too. They all coincided and were close to [my] heart in that era.” It’s that duality between punk and rap that’s guided the multi-hyphenate artist’s career thus far. When audiences were first introduced to MGK in 2010, he was a scrappy young rapper prone to bravado whose lyrics boasted about his excess-driven lifestyle. But these days, the musician is ready for a reintroduction — courtesy of his new pop-punk sound. That new sound is the result of spending time in the studio with Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker. A two-month collaboration between the two resulted in MGK’s fifth studio album Tickets to My Downfall, which is both produced by and features Barker. The album is hyper-nostalgic, recalling Enema of the State era Blink 182. Yet for MGK, that’s beside the point. “It's like, how do you miss the vulnerability [in the music]? It’s just because I gave it to you easy enough to digest. And that’s the magic,” he says. “I mean my favorite lyric I’ve ever written was off this album: ‘If I’m a painter, I’d be a depression-ist,’ [which was] my perspective coming from a place of sadness and a life of letdowns.” But in other moments on the album, MGK doesn’t bury his pain in pithy wordplay. “[One day] I went into the booth and I was just screaming different things. Then I stumbled upon ‘Lonely, lonely even when the room is full.’ I just kept singing it over and over again and I started crying,” he says of his song “Lonely,” which details his relationship with his father who died in July. The track includes an audio snippet of the last conversation the two shared. “I [remember] listening to 'Lonely' in the car right after my father passed and I did the same thing,” MGK adds. “I just burst out crying.” His experiment in vulnerability is paying off. Tickets to My Downfall’s first single, “Bloody Valentine,” has nearly 40 million YouTube views; the British rock magazine Kerrang! recently dubbed MGK “the most important rock star on the planet;” and he’s already scored a Video Music Award for his work on the album. The praise is hard won for the artist, who’s been vocal about his hunger for respect. “[I have a tattoo] saying, ‘F*ck fame, it killed all my favorite entertainers.’ A lot of [artists] get understood after the fact, like 10 years, or 20 years, or 30 years later. So I’m just grateful to be alive for this moment,” he says. Below, MGK muses about the Grease soundtrack, hookup music, and an ill-fated song with Lana Del Rey. You worked intimately with Travis Barker over the course of two months to record this album. What was that collaboration process like? We started knowing each other's food orders. We were just waking up super excited to go spend like 14 hours in the studio. This was before COVID hit, [but] we all had a really gnarly chest cold at one point during [recording]... So maybe you had COVID without realizing it. Yes. Facts. And we were still in the studio every day, even with whatever that chest cold was. I was coughing up blood while recording “All I Know” because I was going out every night, screaming, drinking, and recording through all that. It was real wear and tear, but it was the most fun experience ever. I forgot we were even recording an album. I would just go in [to the booth] and be like, "Yo, I got this story.” And everyone would be like, "Dude, you got to go tell that same thing, but in there." I made the song “Kiss Kiss” after New Year’s. It’s just about f*cking, drinking, and going around Sunset [Boulevard]. No plans, just like you're back in your teenage years with nothing to do and the world at your own fingertips. Tickets to My Downfall is really just your diary. What’s the weirdest way a song of yours has ever come to be? I have a million answers to that. The Lana [Del Rey] one was cool [even though] it never came out. I was playing new songs I was working on, she was smoking a cigarette, and my friend was making a beat in the basement. She just started singing this hook and I was like, “Woah, do you want to lay that?” She was like, “Yeah.” Then I had him [stop] what he was doing and we went to the studio in the other room and recorded it. It was cool because it was just over a cigarette break, know what I mean? What’s the first CD or tape you ever bought? The tape I remember playing the most back in the day was the Grease soundtrack. Were you a big fan of the movie? Oh yeah, I love Grease. “Tickets to My Downfall” is almost its own version of like a pop-punk Grease. Would you ever want to play Danny Zuko? They might have to up the excess more, like a gritty A24 version. What’s the song you put on when someone hands you the aux? You can go a few different ways. It could be “Operate” by Peaches or like “Duality” by Slipknot. The tonal whiplash of those songs. Or even “I Want It That Way” by Backstreet Boys. The beginning of After Hours by the Weeknd. Just that beat at the beginning [on a] loop over and over for like two hours. I'll be stoked on that soundtrack. Did you lose your virginity to music? No, I didn’t. Obviously at the time you’re not thinking about it [like this], but I’d want it to be something goofy. Do you remember that song where it’s like, “Oh, dreamweaver I believe you can get me through the night?” It would have been funny if some terrible ‘80s song was playing and you're both like trying to act like you're not thrown off by the music, just to help the awkwardness. I’m picturing you putting a record on, not even a tape or a CD, just full ‘80s. Like with braces on and sh*t like that. Just super uncomfortable, like, "Oh, I think this is how you're supposed to do this!" This interview has been condensed and edited for clarity.

Welcome back! Today, we discuss the long-awaited surprise hit, Tickets to My Downfall, the first ever pop punk album from Machine Gun Kelly. Though we have differing opinions about his rap career, we can both agree on his pop punk effort.

I feel unsettled. // B.I.G.‘s My Downfall found it's way into my mind this morning. It's because I feel like the white supremacist systems in place are like the dude whispering on this track praying for the downfall of black people. We're not going anywhere. Black people, Black women, WE ARE NOT GOING ANYWHERE. The part of the song where Puffy screams at the end about how you can’t breathe without seeing us, I’m there mentally. Puffy screams: you won’t be able to sleep without seeing us; that’s how I feel today. Fuck the system. It will change because Black folks will keep fighting in every way. We’ll be there on the ground, in the office, organizing behind the scenes, starting our own initiatives, running for office, engaging the youth, challenging the status quo. We’ll be there. #JusticeforBreonnaTaylor #JusticeforRegisKorchinskiPaquet #DefundthePolice #AbolishThePolice --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/thetrack/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/thetrack/support

Edited to add 1/19/10: The follow up to Lightbreaker, called Heartland is coming out soon and true to form, Mark has posted a soundtrack. Check it out!Listen to the interview here!Tell me a little about yourself and your writing.I'm more of a long form writer than a short fiction guy. Farrago's Wainscot serialized my hypertext novel, The Oneiromantic Mosaic of Harry Potemkin, in 2007 (and the expanded edition of it can be found here), and the print arm, Farrago Press, will be putting out the sequel/resolution, Psychobabel, in 2009. In September, my first print novel will be out from Night Shade Books. Entitled Lightbreaker, it is the first part of Codex of Souls, a multi-book romp through Western esoteric thought and occult history in an urban fantasy setting. Both are ambitious projects for the early part of a writer's career, but they seem to be the way my brain wants to tell stories, and I'm going along with it. I'm just a delivery vehicle for the Muse, really. Yes, that's my excuse. Though, honestly, I am at that point in my career when I still have a full-time job, and so I have the luxury of producing material that excites me foremost without necessarily being beholden to market forces. This is the way new writers find their way in, I think, by creating material that is filled with the passionate excess of their naiveté. Or, at least, that's the other excuse I keep using. Tell me about the story that you've created a soundtrack/playlist for.Lightbreaker is divergent from the nominal definition of "urban fantasy." There are no werewolves or vampires, and the magick is based more in actual occult history and practices than Dungeons & Dragons rules. I've never been comfortable with the reliance upon vampires and werewolves as fantasy tropes because their historical definitions don't hold up well in a modern setting. They are predators, really, and we are cattle, and I could never quite world-build them well enough that humanity wouldn't have gotten their shit together and wiped them out. It's a blind spot for me, and I didn't try to make it work. Besides, I'm fascinated with mythology, magico-religious belief structures, and whatever it was that Aleister Crowley was really trying to accomplish with all of his writings. He was either a complete nut or he knew something special, and I think his efforts--like a lot of metaphysical and religious thought--are worth examining. If I can do that while providing an entertaining story with lots of sex and death, then everybody wins. The book itself, in a few words, is the story of a guy, Markham, who has returned to Seattle, searching for a girl, Katarina, who, a decade ago, touched his soul and left it . . . damaged. What he stumbles upon when he gets to town is the girl's new friends, who are playing with very dark magick. These guys are a secretive cabal who are attempting to punch a hole through heaven, and make mischief with what they find. Markham must (to quote the marketing copy) "delve deep into his past, calling on every aspect of his occult training for there to be any hope of a future. But delve he must, for Markham is a veneficus, a spirit thief, the Lightbreaker . . ."Just so everyone has some reference points. I am, after all, about to geek out on a bunch of songs no one has heard in reference to a book no one has read, and I'm going to try to do so without offering spoilers. Yeah, good luck with that, I know. What is your playlist? (Why did you choose these songs?01. "Our Solemn Hour" - Within Temptation02. "Collide" - Detritus03. "Missing Link (Screaming Bird mix)" - Curve04. "Voiceover" - Darrin Verhagen 05. "Acidburn Aesthetic" - Stone Glass Steel06. "." - Darrin Verhagen 07. "Black Star" - Peccatum08. "Lethe" - Detritus09. "Agnus Dei" - Shinjuku Thief10. "Quest" - 302 Acid11. "Greater Than The Sun" - Covenant12. "Shadow Path" - Shinjuku Thief13. "The Great Destroyer" - Nine Inch Nails14. "With Small Shards of Glass" - E.P.A.15. "Uthul Khulture" - Sephiroth16. "Colorless" - Venetian Snares17. "Heaven's Blade" - Coil18. "Procession of Souls" - Shinjuku Thief19. "Shroud (Exordium") - Fields of the Nephilim20. "Straight To The Light" - Fields of the NephilimPlaylist Discussion1. "Our Solemn Hour" Within Temptation (The Heart of Everything)I used to write trailers for my books--big splashy write-ups done in screenplay style where I threw together enough of the high points of the book that I could remember what it was all about six months later, and to give myself a thematic overview of what I was trying to accomplish. For a long time, Carl Orff's "Carmina Burana" and Peter Gabriel's "The Rhythm of the Heat" were my go-to songs for trailers, but "Our Solemn Hour" is much more fitting for Lightbreaker. Especially the first big explosion of sound that kicks everything off. Yes, this is the way the world sounds. 2. "Collide" Detritus (Fractured)The book starts with a bang, and it's chapter four before we even slow down enough to really introduce our characters, which is either going make readers love me for not boring them from the start or piss them off mightily. Detritus' "Collide" is a drum 'n' bass symphonic overture, and meshes nicely with a chase that starts in the woods, runs through a small town, and climaxes on the lower deck of a vehicle ferry.3. "Missing Link (Screaming Bird Mix)" Curve (Blackerthreetrackertwo EP)Toni Halliday's voice has always been something of an obsession for me--both in its husky weariness and its seductive allure. It's the voice of a siren who has grown tired of summoning men to their doom, but she knows no other way to find love. The "Screaming Bird Mix" was done by Trent Reznor (of Nine Inch Nails fame), and he adds a layer of noisy guitars to an already caustic bombast. Markham's search for Katarina is a search for his missing link, and the combination of the relentless claustrophobia of the instrumentation and Toni's voice sums up the psychological history of his quest. 4. "Voiceover" Darrin Verhagen (D/Classified)6. "-" - Darrin Verhagen (Zero-Stung)9. "Agnes Dei" Shinjuku Thief (Medea)12. "Shadow Path" - Shinjuku Thief (The Witch Hunter)18. "Procession of Souls - Shinjuku Thief (The Witch Haven)Darrin Verhagen has a number of pseudonyms, and so his presence on the soundtrack is heavier than it appears at first glance. His choral and orchestral work is superb, and his ability to blend ethnic instrumentation and pure noise anarchy are just the sort of sonic impact I'd love to have in a film. The tracks picked out for the soundtrack are more subdued, but no less powerful. Well, other than the E.P.A. track, but there's no way to soften that blow, really. 5. "Acidburn Aesthetic" Stone Glass Steel (Dismembering Artists) Markham suffers from a bit of schizophrenia via a noise of voices that keep him company, and the "recontextualized" sound of Stone Glass Steel is fitting accompaniment. Phil Easter (SGS) builds his music by sampling and cutting from other works, building something new with elements that trigger other memories and associations in your mind. The mix of industrial noises, dark ambient drones, churning metal guitar, and atmospheric disturbances is schizophrenic enough, and the hints of nearly recognizable riffs from other artists is an added layer of identity confusion 7. "Black Star" Peccatum (Lost in Reverie)This one will be more obvious in retrospect after reading Lightbreaker, but if you read Irhiel (the female voice) as Katarina and Ihsahn (the male voice) as Markham's shadow and the whole song as being told from Markham's view, then it all makes sense. Really. "I am the black star, hostess of your dead heart sun." Some relationships are just doomed, you know, just flat out doomed. 8. "Lethe" Detritus (Fractured) 10. "Quest" 302 Acid (005)These two are mood music, downtempo tracks that try to capture some of the ghostly ambience of the book. The sort of thing you hear as backdrop during one of those rapid-time sequences in CSI where the team makes with the science and solves the crime. You don't want to cut this stuff because it's important to let the audience know that Things Are Being Done, but you certainly don't want it to drag by. A good bassline makes grunt work seem sexier than it really is. 11. "Greater Than The Sun" Covenant (Skyshaper)It's the rolling rhythmic line that really gets me. There are several introspective moments through the book, and the persistent rotation of the world around Markham is mirrored by the looping motion of "Greater Than The Sun." The more I listen to this song, the more I realize it encapsulates Markham's journey through Lightbreaker, right down to the way the bass drops away as Eskil Simonsson sings the chorus, each recitation more fragile and naked than the last. And the title. Yeah, the title is perfect. So, in a nutshell, this is the book. 13. "The Great Destroyer" Nine Inch Nails (Year Zero)Every villain needs a theme song, and this one is probably overly dramatic and heavy-handed, but the sonic breakdown into Autechre beat-fuckery about two minutes into the song is a great aural representation of what happens when you let a guy try to reshape the world in his image. 14. "With Small Shards of Glass" E.P.A. (Black Ice)There is a scene in the book where the phrase "a chattering echo of a thousand knives being sharpened" is used. E.P.A.'s Black Ice is the power electronics CD of Darrin Verhagen's three-part Black | Mass. Yeah, it's an hour of howling, wailing feedback and noise. With subtle variations, of course. And the one "With Small Shards of Glass" seemed about right. 15. "Uthul Khulture" Sephiroth (Draconian Poetry)And, when the world is burning down around you, what do you need? Apocalyptic drums and dark ambient monster noises. The fact that the band is called "Sephiroth" is just a bonus. 16. "Colorless" Venetian Snares (My Downfall) This record is a departure from the drill ‘n' bass that Venetian Snares has been putting out over the last few years, and I think it's a fantastic new facet to his sound. "Colorless" is suffused with melancholy, but it's not quite despair. Not yet. It's mood music for the bleak part of the early morning when your protagonist has to face what he has done, and what he is about to do. "Our hands betray what we have done." 17. "Heaven's Blade" Coil (The Ape of Naples)You can't write a book about magick (with a ‘k') and not have Coil on the soundtrack. That's like showing up to a secret furry convention without a costume. Everyone knows you don't belong. The trick wasn't a Coil song, but WHICH Coil song. The ephemeral fragility of "Heaven's Blade" is well suited for the penultimate scenes of the book. 19. "Shroud (Exordium)" & 20. Straight To The Light" - Fields Of The Nephilim (Mourning Sun) Mourning Sun was on the master playlist for writing the book, and it was always welcome when it showed up on the rotation. "Shroud (Exordium)" and "Straight To The Light," especially (and, really, the first is a long intro to the second). The way the sound builds across the breadth of "Shroud (Exordium)" to that final angelic chorus is just incredible, and I wish--every day--that I had the money to buy an obscenely huge sound system just so I could experience that progression in the bone-shaking way it was meant to be heard. The transition to "Straight To The Light," that opening guitar riff, is the end of the book, that instantaneous cut to black, and if it was up to me, the screen would stay black until the song was over before the credits ran. What does music mean to you? To your writing?It's critical. Both as a means of fueling the muse, and a means of adding texture. We are ultimately responsible for how the words make the scene work, and being able to find music that suits the intent and the impression of a scene enables me to better articulate what I'm trying to do and to find an emotional kicker to the text. Some film directors are more aware of the music than others, and they understand that it's another layer of meaning--much like the lighting and the framing of individual shots--and to poorly execute this layer is to dress the film shabbily. Ridley Scott, with Bladerunner; Michael Mann, with Miami Vice and Heat (really, the whole Miami Vice phenomena came out of marrying sound to visuals); David Lynch, with nearly everything he's done, but especially Twin Peaks; early Eric Serra, with some of Luc Besson's early films (The Big Blue, La Femme Nikita); Peter Gabriel's work for Birdy and The Last Temptation of Christ: these guys have all done great work marrying soundtracks to the visual presentations. When I used to story-storm late at night, I would put on some film filled with eye-candy, turn down the sound, and put the headphones on. Total sensory overload, and every time I'd stop writing in my notebook and look up, my brain would have to parse the music and the visuals. It would always keep me off-balance, always seeing and hearing something not-quite-right but always exciting. Occasionally, I'd find marginalia in my notes that would record songs for scenes, pairings that worked well and left me with the germ of an idea. Music, like film, is communicating via a different sensory avenue than the word, and frankly, we don't steal from it enough. We're happy to heist stylistic tics from other writers, but I don't think we pay enough attention to rhythm (or lack thereof) or visual cues in other media. 5. What kind of music do you like to write to?Writing music is very different from soundtrack music. My primary writing space is the commuter train, and the music serves two functions: propelling me forward and drowning out the constant chatter of the other three people at the small table I'm sitting at. The playlist is noisy, metallic, and operatic: filled with things that are labeled Teutonic Industrial (Rammstein, mostly), Big Broken Beat (Clark, Detritus, Enduser), Rhythmic Noise (Tarmvred, Iszoloscope, Empusae, and Ah Cama-Sotz), Symphonic Metal (Within Temptation, Nightwish, After Forever, Sirena), Tribal Illbient (Monolith, Sephiroth, and This Morn' Omina), Black Metal (Fields of the Nephilim, mostly), and Industrial Angst (Nine Inch Nails, Ministry, Otep, Die Warzau). The current playlist has about 700 songs, and I just let it spin on random. If this story was made into a movie, who would you want to do the soundtrack?Either Darrin Verhagen or David Dando-Moore. Verhagen writes these evocative film scores and dance company soundtracks that are a combination of ambient soundscapes, tribal raves, cataclysmic waves of emotional angst rendered as chaotic noise, and cinematic downtempo stuff. A lot of the first draft of the Lightbreaker soundtrack was huge chunks of his records, under his own name and his various aliases (Shinjuku Thief, Shinjuku Filth, E.P.A.). His work always evokes a lot of imagery and wild scenarios. Dando-Moore records as Detritus, and his latest record, Fractured, is an smashing collection of Big Beat downtempo instrumentals that make Massive Attack look like a bunch of octogenarians noodling around with primitive tape loops. I wish Hollywood would discover him for the next Bond film, as his tracks would add an extra level of aural eroticism and bang 'n' snap to every scene. I just watched Michael Mann's Miami Vice again the other night and was quite taken with how Mann used his soundtrack in place of actual scene sound. Having the right guy providing "mood music" can create an emotional impact of a scene that doesn't require words.Anything else you'd like to say about music and writing/creating?One of the ideas that I've never been able to figure out how to accomplish effectively is a series of novellas and EPs. Writer and musician produce an object that is a story with a soundtrack. You listen to one while you read the other. Brian Evenson did a spoken word disc for Ant-Zen a couple of years ago called Altmann's Tongue. He read from his stories and Xingu Hill and Tamarin made creepy dark ambient noises underneath. It's a very cool disc. But I'd like to separate the two a little more, and have the music be a pure soundtrack to the reading experience, and not marry it quite so closely to the text. Package it all up in an overly thick DVD case (CD on one side, short book on the other, much like the current PC game cases). I think both writer and musician, provided the pairing is good, could find fuel in the creative efforts of the other. That's what it's really about anyway: fuel for the creative engine. Nicolas Chevreux at Ad Noiseam has just made available a PDF magazine to accompany Raoul Sinier's latest record, Brain Kitchen. Formatting aside, it's exactly the marriage of art, word, and sound that I was thinking about.
