1976. As a central yet lucid element of the declining Red Fraction Army, you know that the struggle is probably lost and the only cause that remains is the sheer lack of it: pure suicidal nihilism.
You are now chilling at the Paris-Orly airport lounge, waiting to board, en route to another (final?) PLO training camp.
What's on your walkman?

I say:

Nico 'Orly Flight'
Sisters of Mercy 'Neverland (a Fragment)'
Baader Meinhof 'Burn Warehouse Burn'
Faust 'Krautrock'
Roxy Music 'In Every Dream Home a Heartache'

Warren Zevon "Jungle Work", John Cale "Ready for War" - oh hold on, those sound like they're about US Gov't-backed 'freedom fighters', sorry!

Am I correct in assuming that a person sitting in an airport in 1976 does not have access to music made after 1976?

THERE'S NO EXCUSE FOR LISTENING TO MUSIC MADE BEFORE 1976, DISCO NIHILIST!!

― Sonny A. (Keiko), Monday, 13 October 2003 01:47 (twenty-two years ago)

yeah yeah yeah.. Historical authenticity is for bourgeois pigs anyway.

― Baaderist (Fabfunk), Monday, 13 October 2003 06:17 (twenty-two years ago)

a bourgeois pig is still a pig, and a darn tasty one at that

Dana International, "Viva la Diva"

― dave q, Monday, 13 October 2003 09:03 (twenty-two years ago)

Scorpions "Catch Your Train". A German band in 1976 comparing the capitalist work ritual to being herded into cattle cars certainly "exposes the fascist, Nazi-tainted bedrock that the modern West German state is propped upon"!

Neu! - Lila Engel
Cabaret Voltaire - The Set-Up

― Damian (Damian), Monday, 13 October 2003 10:48 (twenty-two years ago)

I also should have added Cabaret Voltaire' 'Baader Meinhof' as an obvious choice

Fearless Iranians from Hell, "Blow Up the Embassy"
Public Enemy, "Mind Terrorist"
Siouxsie and the Banshees, "Love in a Void"

― dave q, Monday, 13 October 2003 11:06 (twenty-two years ago)

..and added the entire Muslimgauze discography.

Marquis de Sade "Final fog" (in memoriam Ulrike).

Terrorist chic is so last century. Give me Johannes over Andreas any day of the week.

Miles Davis On the Corner

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Monday, 13 October 2003 13:52 (twenty-two years ago)

please explain!

― Baaderist (Fabfunk), Monday, 13 October 2003 13:53 (twenty-two years ago)

I think that album conveys a sense of urgency and paranoia that might reflect very similarly the mindset of someone in this situation.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Monday, 13 October 2003 14:03 (twenty-two years ago)

Granted. ALthough I personally would find it difficult to listen to it on a walkman in an airport lounge..

― Baaderist (Fabfunk), Monday, 13 October 2003 14:12 (twenty-two years ago)

Anything from Luke Haines' Baader Meinhof album ... my favorite tracks are "Meet Me At The Airport" (some 9/11 foreshadowing here) and "There's Gonna Be An Accident."

It's pretty impossible to make out any words in the Cabs song Baader Meinhof, but it sounds scary enough in itself.
