Nothing's real, love's everything & I know nothing

This is, in my opinion, the single best live performance of Resistance I have ever experienced and I have yet to hear another that comes even remotely close.  Do yourself a favor and get yourself some good headphones and a dark room and listen to this with your eyes closed.  You will not regret it. 

i’m just gonna leave this here.

this couldn’t be said any better

Rhythm & Drums Magazine - March 2013 - Dominic Howard/Muse

Full-bodied rock grooves that rock the arena

Since their debut in 1999, Muse has continued to expand their worldview with each new album and tour, and have risen to the pinnacle of UK rock with their original ideas and polished musicianship. Their latest album, "The 2nd Law" released last year, was the result of repeated experimentation in the studio, and is an ambitious work that sublimates a variety of musical styles, including rock, funk, dance, classical, and dubstep, into a Muse-style band sound. Dominic Howard, who plays the backbone of the band, brings to life a wide variety of songs with his unique playing and varied sound approach. In this special feature on the artist, we will delve into Dominic Howard, the "heart" of the trio ensemble, from various angles, centering on an interview that was realized on the occasion of the trio's Japan tour.

We are working ambitiously in the studio on different arrangements, but at the same time we are keeping the same core that we started with when we started the band.

this is going to sound simplistic + i promise you it's not: stop following people whose entire schtick is being cruel or fighting with others online. even if the ppl deserve it! even if it's not a ~problematic~ cruelty! even if you agree with all of that blog's opinions!

it's one thing if someone snaps back when provoked or posts the occasional "get a load of this guy". nobody needs to play up respectability for people who haven't given them respect in return. but if someone's online identity centers around being needlessly mean for laughs + they're constantly seeking out socially acceptable, easy targets for petty cruelty, that's a red flag. there's a huge difference between not taking shit/cracking a joke + mocking others as your several-hours-a-day hobby.

especially if, when they are inevitably in the wrong + mocking someone mercilessly to their 50k followers over something petty goes south (shocking!), they become extremely defensive or block everyone or play the victim or dismiss it as "well, how was i supposed to know they were autistic? i'm autistic + i don't meow in public" or whatever.

this isn't a "well i knew all along" post bcuz nobody should be shamed for being in the dark about something like this but many of the popular bloggers who have later been exposed for serious harassment or abuse should not have shocked us. if someone's blog is 90% shit like "you should light yourself on fire because you watch x anime" or "look at this so-called lesbian bitch + her ugly fucking boyfriend at a kink convention- it's giving drowned rats", should it really shock you that they are also being cruel or abusive in less internet-acceptable ways? if they've already shown you that they get a such a thrill out of being vicious that they do it daily + are regularly rewarded with thousands of followers?

This goes for communities/social circles as well. The occasional group bitching session is fine and healthy. But if one of the central purposes or activities of the community is seeking out things to be mad at or dunk on, that's a major red flag.
