I think he’s a great vocalist but there are plenty more where that came from.

I’m not a conflict driven person at all, but man…the energy people often wanna create around the potential controversy of DsO’s existence/practice is surprisingly insensitive and unthoughtful. I’m not an Aspa sympathizer. There are conversations that could be had where people could gain potentially useful perspectives and new energies.

Not gonna attempt to tell any of you “what to do instead”, but asking people to not be reactionary, as a starting point, seems like a large ask for some reason…

That’s word salad. Did you have a point? He’s a fascist cunt, so why are you waffling about ‘energies’ and ‘useful conversations’ for. People can separate the art from the artists, but it doesn’t change the fact that he’s an irredeemable scumbag. Ps you don’t know what the word reactionary means, because it’s certainly not critiquing their involvement with a Nazi. Give me strength.

Also what Million said tho - they could easily get someone else for purely musical reasons…but they have expressed why they choose to work with him (in regards to his ideals) in interviews.

I mean my final thought here is that the band and their ideas are amazing in many respects, but that people throwing money at them when they refuse to properly acknowledge this controversy is willfully ignorant.



On ya for a humble response here though, cotton xx

“I met a critic, I made her shit her drawers
She said she thought hip-hop was only guns and alcohol
I said "Oh hell naw!" But yet it's that too
You can't discrimi-hate cause you done read a book or two…

Humble as a mumble in the jungle
Of shouts and screams
That's the way the cracker crumbles
So I guess I've got to re-route my dreams”

Erykah and Andre gimme all I got. Bless ya Ruggles

This and Synarchy have equal number of votes though I find this a weaker album overall, which I hate to say.

Clearly the band would have been better served to remain in anonymity, but maybe they collectively gain something from the scrutiny. It's a rather optimistic viewpoint that maybe Mikko would correct his course, but given the subject matter of the music I would not bet on it.

It's rich how all of you are acting like you know the guy closely after just reading a couple of internet articles, wikis, forums etc etc.

It's the internet, like don't take it for full face value.

Mikko isn't the whole band and to not buy a record based off of political views is really dumb. Obviously they are into a whole bunch of complicated ideas (of which race relations and philosophy are a part of) and when you discuss these ideas sometimes you aren't so much as stating ur absolute thesis on the subject but rather opening up new pathways of thinking that get skirted by.

Kind of why artists use pseudonyms to preserve anonymity because most people are frothing at the mouth to ruin another persons life based off their own perception of the other person through a fucking 2dimensional screen.

'It's the internet, like don't take it for full face value.'

So the interviews are completely fabricated then I take it?

'Mikko isn't the whole band and to not buy a record based off of political views is really dumb'

What? No, I believe consciously thinking about this / making informed decisions should definitely be encouraged. You may be ignorant to such things which is fine, but to know otherwise and still line their pockets makes you a morally bankrupt turd.
