I absolutely mangled his surname lol it's Neil Cicierega and this was the album that I was thinking of: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2arFId7T4w

Holocaust denialism is censorship. It's an attempt to hide reality itself by controlling the narrative. If anything, outlawing holocaust denialism is anti-censorship, as it's helping ensure that Nazis won't be able to suppress the truth about what happened.

Someone claiming that outlawing holocaust denialism is censorship is trying to flip the script and overwrite reality (or just repeating someone else who is doing so, I guess). It's like saying "Hey! Stop censoring my attempt to censor others! This is censorship!" It's a mind game, an attempt at manipulation through deception. Look up the term DARVO: Deny, Accuse, Reverse Victim and Offender. That's what saying "Outlawing holocaust denialism is censorship!" is: Reversing the Victim and Offender.

Lies and misinformation and other attempts to deceive and suppress the truth are not a form of free speech. Quite the opposite, they're what results when free speech remains unprotected.

Oh, is it like that Neil Ciceriga or whatever his name is? The Mouth Sounds guy? Internet mashups are definitely a different category but I've always found them interesting. Anyway, I'll check it out, thanks.

Okay, fair enough. I think I'm still a little shellshocked from using Reddit for years. I'd like to see Lemmy work out in the long run so I'm taking a chance and writing, I don't know, like sincere efforts to spur discussion? It's not something I do on Reddit anymore because there are too many people trying to "defeat" posts instead of just honestly answering, or people who will say "Why don't you just Google it?" and act like they're doing you a favor by treating you like a halfwitted child, to say nothing of some of the genuinely unhinged shit that goes on over there... I mean, you're probably a Reddit refugee yourself so I'm sure you know what I'm talking about. I pretty much only lurk and occasionally shitpost at Reddit these days because it has so little value beyond that anymore.

Anyway, I'm sorry if I came across as harsh or overly defensive, I'm honestly trying to be better about that. Social media is really only as good as the people who use it, and I'm no exception.

I’m sure you could find a bunch of other tribute albums if you search the site a little bit.

Did you really read the original post and think to yourself "Oh, this person doesn't know how to use the basic search function on Bandcamp?"

Are these a 90s thing?

I mean, if you read the original comment I actually mentioned twice that it wasn't exclusive to the 90s and continued to the present day, it's just that the trend seemed to have started there.

Thanks for the link, shame about your copy but it's not the worst thing you could lose in a car accident, I hope at least it didn't suffer long

Yeah I feel like I've heard of at least a few tribute albums for the Ramones and there are at least two or three each for Misfits and the Velvet Underground.

I'll definitely check it out, I love the Pixies. I've heard at least a few covers of "Where Is My Mind" and it's one of those songs that I don't think anyone can quite get right, so I'll be interested to see what it's like here.

Is Violent World the album with a song by Zombina & The Skeletones? I don't think I have that one but I may have heard of it. I do have another Misfits tribute album called Graven Images: A Tribute to the Misfits (2000) and it's all stoner rock bands. I haven't had a chance to listen to it yet so I couldn't tell you if it's good though. I suspect there are probably a few Misfits tribute albums out there.
