How important is it “To Be Kind”? And yet, how exceedingly difficult it may be as we encounter others who are not kind. It's important to know the Lord's character is good, kind, and loving. His lovingkindness never fails. So then, to emulate and demonstrate our love to Him would include to deliberately be kind to others. Sometimes that requires forgiveness. Your feedback is always welcome at https://CarinJayneCasey.com. Video: https://youtu.be/2OcDs2r3VBYAudio: https://buzzsprout.com/1275572#tobekind #godsloveneverfails #heiskind #wwjd #saynotothedevil #fruitofthespirit #Turn2GodwCarin #swordofthespirit

Esta semana dedicamos una nueva edición de Rebelión Sónica a la banda estadounidense liderada por Michael Gira, Swans, con música de dos de sus discos: “The Beggar” de 2023 y “To Be Kind” de 2014. “The Beggar”, el decimosexto álbum en estudio del grupo experimental, fue lanzado por los sellos Mute y Young God Records el 23 de junio y es el sucesor de “Leaving Meaning” de 2019. Gira señaló que “después de numerosas cancelaciones de giras inducidas por la pandemia para el álbum anterior de Swans “Leaving Meaning”, un aparente pozo sin fondo de espera, espera, espera y la extraña desorientación que vino con este repentino pero interminable aislamiento forzado, decidí que era hora de escribir canciones para un nuevo álbum de Swans y olvidarme de todo lo demás”. El cantante, guitarrista y compositor, agregó que los temas “vinieron con relativa facilidad, siempre informados por la sospecha de que estos podrían ser los últimos. Cuando finalmente pude viajar, con las canciones en la mano, a Berlín para trabajar con mis amigos grabando este disco, la sensación fue similar al momento en El mago de Oz cuando la película cambia de blanco y negro a color. Ahora me siento bastante optimista. Mi color favorito es el rosa. Espero que disfruten el álbum”. “The Beggar” fue grabado y mezclado en el estudio Candy Bomber de Berlín, Alemania, por el ingeniero Ingo Krauss y fue masterizado por Doug Henderson en Micro-Moose, también en Berlín. El álbum fue escrito y producido por Michael Gira y presenta contribuciones de miembros históricos y recientes de Swans y de Angels Of Light, la otra banda de Gira: Kristof Hahn, Larry Mullins, Dana Schechter, Christopher Pravdica y Phil Puleo, así como también las voces de apoyo de Jennifer Gira, Lucy Kruger y Laura Carbone. Además, como invitado especial a la banda, está el reconocido compositor, productor discográfico y diseñador de sonido australiano-islandés, Ben Frost en guitarra, sintetizadores y manipulaciones de sonido. En la parte final del programa, viajamos al pasado en el catálogo de Swans, para escucharlos con material del álbum “To Be Kind” de 2014, el decimotercero de su trayectoria.

This week we're finishing our series on Swans, covering every album from their reunion in 2010 all the way to their most recent 2023 release, The Beggar. This era of the band is a massive sonic force unlike any other in the world and is not for casual listening. 2 hour albums, 30 minute songs, punishing intensity, and gorgeous atmosphere and musicality. Through this era, Michael Gira proves his uncompromising artistic vision in ways few others in history can compete with.

Swans started in the early '80s with a brutal sound gradually became more subtle and textured. The band broke up in 1995 after ten albums (and three other releases under the name World of Skin), then Michael released a couple of solo albums and six alt-country releases as Angels of Light before starting a new chapter of Swans in 2010 which has now released its sixth album. We discuss "Michael Is Done" from The Beggar (2023), "It's Coming It's Real" from Leaving Meaning (2019), and "Power for Power" from Filth (1983). You then get to hear Michael's opus "The Beggar Lovers (Three)," also from the new album. Intro: "Screen Shot" from To Be Kind (2014). Hear more at swans.bandcamp.com.

We have to choose to let annoyances pass, to forgive, to be kind, to respect, to support, to be faithful. Sometimes it’s easy and sometimes it’s incredibly hard, but it is up to us to choose how we want to act, think and speak. Life can change in an instant. Make sure you appreciate what you have, while you still have it.

Anthony's got Brett Hart, one of the members of local art space The Red Museum, to talk about how to keep our arts scene living and breathing. Plus, preservationist, historian (and so much more) William Burg joins us to talk about the Central City Specific Plan and how it could shape the grid as we know it. It's one of those conversations where Anthony's very clearly out of his depth. Also, we've got Dave Kempa back to close out his coverage of the trial that sought to bring down the camping ban. You'll want to listen to this right away, as William's got a call to action for you that's got a deadline of Nov. 8. Hop to it. Music provided ever so graciously by Blue Oaks, all from the new album "To Be Kind is Sin." Intro is the title track, interstitial bits are from "Nicotine" and the closer is "Sand and Skin." Listen to (and purchase, of course) the album here.

Ready to make some noise? Swans has enough to go around. The veteran Noise Rock band that reformed after its 13-year slumber is back to mesmerizing audiences with their garbled, often fearsome tones. This week, we tackle Swans' most recent experiment, a two-disc set called To Be Kind. We review it all here, so strap in for today's special extended podcast. And, as many of these tracks breech well into the double digits, we finally take some time to discuss that very thing: time (in music). Just what does "track length" mean for us? Is a generous run-time the mark of ambition, genius, or a lack of self-awareness? From past trends to future predicitons, we field our thoughts; now let's hear yours! Continue reading

In this episode WE GOT COMMENTS!! But does the old adage of “Don’t feed the trolls” apply? Andre and Kevin talk through their feelings about being called “worthless” for speaking their minds. PLUS! Speaking of feelings, this week we review two records that couldn’t be further apart on the spectrum if they tried. First up is To Be Kind, the latest crushing record from experimental/post-punk/no wave legends SWANS. Then we take to the canyons – Laurel Canyon to be exact – to check out Separate Oceans, the latest release from Chicago’s lauded Numero Group celebrating the career and influence of singer/songwriter Ned Doheny!
