The Mind of Wolfie Smith

indeed, jim. with laibach, quite rightly, words fail me. laughing and crying and appalled and stunned and bowled over, too. we are not worthy.
for example, to mark being the first western (sorta) rock band to ever play in north korea a couple of years ago, they decided to release and tour (in n korea) a cover album of the sound of music soundtrack interspersed with korean folk songs. obviously. as you do.

Okay that is GREAT and leaves me with the question will I benefit by using 1 1/2 my life watch the movie its from 'Roadie'? Never heard of that and the trailer doesn't make it look great, but it kinda intrigues me now I know it exists...

milstar

lol I've found for some reason among the top results (below og version ofc) Don't know who she is, but she excelled! And I never thought about a woman covering this, and I don't think just any woman could, but glad I was proven wrong
