In light of the comments on my recent video I've decided to continue posting whatever the hell I want. No amount of ideological frustration from any camp will stop me from archiving rare recordings. I have and will continue to post rare songs some fraction of people will dislike.

These two recordings originated from me, they were made from scratch, and yet they have been claimed through YouTube's bogus copyright system. This isn’t even a case of "using someone else's recording" anymore, I literally directed the singers here. This is actually insane.

Man, this is always pretty demotivating. I had to find someone from Finland to get this track for me from a Finnish service and a second person to translate it for me. Yet a larger channel can just take the audio and translation and double the views 3 years later with no credit.

I want to post a Palestinian song, but the recent strikes on my channel mean that doing so would risk YouTube nuking the whole channel. So I think I'll try and play it a little safer and post a Soviet song about Palestine or something. Maybe that's a way around it.

The most amusing part about this is reactionaries coming out and saying things like that YouTube "finally did something good". In reality they've been doing this for years, I've had a total of 30 videos removed by them, the oldest of which being 9 years old.

Dropping Tuesday, the grand finale to this arc of hyperfixation that I've been on for a year. Of the 30 songs here, I digitised 18 of them from a combination of records, a cassette and a CD. 5 of them I worked with singers to produce. 10 of the songs aren't even available online.

It's incredible how open Zionists are in regards to viewing Palestinians as an inferior people. Other flavours of fascists will dogwhistle their true thoughts, but the Zionist variety are all too keen to lay theirs out for all to see.

The worst part about YouTube having removed "In the Name of the Popular Front" is that the PFLP's clear repudiation of antisemitism can no longer be seen, allowing reactionaries larping as socialists to feel at home on "The Red Banner is Raised". @TeamYouTube needs to restore it.

YouTube's answer: "The corporations we work with are actually trustworthy and they proved to us that they have rights over the content you made." You really can't make this up. Go ahead, ask them to send you the original files. I can guarantee you they don't have them. Only I do!

There's a pretty stark difference between my description and theirs too. When I say "no credit", they didn't even credit those who made the song. This is why I always try to credit everyone involved and put a source in the description. Remember to credit people for their work!

This "Kontor New Media GmbH" group downloaded the songs off of YouTube (that's the only place they were) where I uploaded them for free, they made them into an album, copyrighted it, and now claim my original video so that they get ad revenue off of it.

One of the bad things about doing the translations for videos myself for the songs in languages I speak is that months later I'll be at work, just thinking, and realise a way that I could have translated a line better. Man do I wish YouTube had a function to update videos.

Since posting the Japanese versions of "The East Is Red" and "Sailing the Seas Depends on the Helmsman" I've seen quite a few comments claiming the singers must be Chinese. This feels really silly, especially if you actually listen to their accent when they sing them in Mandarin.

Soviet records often only list the first letter of a composer or lyricist's given name plus their family name. So currently looking through the history of the Art Theatre of Karakalpakstan so I can credit the composer and lyricist of this song with their full names.

I'll never put an intro on my videos, I want them to be easy to put into a YouTube to MP3 converter so people can download and listen to them without having to cut an intro out. I'll never understand why some anthemtubers have 20-second musical intros before every song they post.
