Engels, Frederick, socialist, born in Barmen on Nov. 28, 1820, the son of a well-to-do manufacturer. Took up commerce, but already at an early age began propagating radical and socialist ideas in newspaper articles and speeches. After working for some time as a clerk in Bremen and serving for one year as an army volunteer in Berlin in 1842, he went for two years to Manchester, where his father was co-owner of a cotton mill.
In 1844 he worked for the Deutsch-Französische Jahrbücher published by Arnold Ruge and Karl Marx in Paris. In 1844 he returned to Barmen and in 1845 addressed communist meetings organised by Moses Hess and Gustav K?ttgen in Elberfeld. Then, until 1848, he lived alternately in Brussels and Paris; in 1846 he joined, with Marx, the secret Communist League, a predecessor of the International, and represented the Paris communities at the two League congresses in London in 1847. On the League's instructions, he wrote, jointly with Marx, the Communist Manifesto addressed to the "working men of all countries", which was published shortly before the February revolution [1848] (a new edition appeared in Leipzig in 1872).
In 1848 and 1849 E. worked in Cologne for the Neue Rheinische Zeitung edited by Marx, and after its suppression he contributed, in 1850, to the Politisch-oekonomische Revue. He witnessed the uprisings in Elberfeld, the Palatinate and Baden and took part in the Baden-Palatinate campaign as aide-de-camp in Willich's volunteer corps. After the suppression of the Baden uprising E. returned as a refugee to England and re-entered his father's firm in Manchester in 1850.
He retired from business in 1869 and has lived in London since 1870. He assisted his friend Marx in providing support for the international labour movement, which arose in 1864, and in carrying on social-democratic propaganda. E. was Secretary for Italy, Spain and Portugal on the General Council of the International. He advocates Marxian communism in opposition to both "petty bourgeois" Proudhonist and nihilistic Bakuninist anarchism. His main work is The Condition of the Working-Class in England (Leipzig, 1845; new edition, Stuttgart, 1892), which, although one-sided, possesses undeniable scientific value. His Anti-Dühring is a polemic of considerable size (2nd ed. Zurich, 1886). E.'s other published works include Ludwig Feuerbach and the End of Classical German Philosophy (Stuttgart, 1888), The Origin of the Family Socialism: Utopian and Scientific (4th ed., Berlin, 1891). E. also published Vols 2 and 3 of Karl Marx's Capital and the 3rd and 4th editions of Vol. I, and contributed many articles to the Neue Zeit.

Torn by Natalie Imbruglia is a stupid good song and so is most of Alanis Morisettes hits. Bring back Lillith Fair core
Once watched my extremely shy and quiet coworker pour her entire soul into a karaoke performance of this song
I bet i could crush this at karaoke. Im a he/him derived they/them but my coziest singing voice is a fairly high tenor so I csn usually do more harder to sing songs by women easier. My range is from Robert Smith to Davy Havok without falsetto. Nat is right in that range where I can go down and falsetto up pretty comfy.
Margaret Glaspy might be worth a listen
I figured it was a time and place thing cause stuff like Natalie and Alanis bring me back hard to sitting in the back seat of my parents car as a little kid when that shit was new and my parents were listening to it. So I wasnt expecting it to hit the same and usually acoustic singer songwriter stuff is a miss for me. This is the exception. She is great! Still listening to my first tune but I like the bluesy element
Edit: she is really really good. This is not a genre im an easy mark for too.
Hell yeah, glad you liked her stuff. I just got turned on to her thanks to local college radio putting Act Natural and My Eyes in rotation. Like, just days ago. I only knew those two songs before today but I felt her vibe was exactly what you meant
I put on her latest album Echo the Diamond this morning while doing housework and I fuckin loved it. Her voice is amazing and she's a great songwriter. The harmonies in My Eyes make me wanna float away... genuinely liked every song on the album but Female Brain, Irish Goodbye, and Hammer and the Nail were standouts imo besides the other two I already liked
Paramore
That is a pop punk band and not the same vibe.
