Another day, another YouTube channel demanding your attention , right? Well, no, in this case - Noisey , the Vice Magazine online-offshoot that's entirely music-orientated - launched their own YouTube channel this week , and it's already got a hell of a lot more going for it than a million other YouTube music channels where people endlessly interview rock stars about any old nonsense they thought up in the five minutes before they switched their camera on. Given Vice/Noisey's impressive production pedigree, it's no surprise [...]

Cult Punk is reporting that upscale UK fashion house Hardware has appropriated Crass 's iconic logo for their corporate logo. The brand has taken the band's self-designed logo and altered it slightly-- adding a chain border and a gold emboss-- and is using it on all of their new products. Both the band and their label, Southern Records , are aware of what's happened, but it remains to be seen if they will take action.
Tracklist: All you are going to want to do is get back there - The Caretaker Poison - Laurie Anderson The Earlie King - Baby Dee Shake That Devil - Antony and The Johnsons Is That All There Is? - Cristina Beg Your Pardon - Crass cerebrus - John Zorn Spoonful - Keiji Haino & Coil

Photo: Chiara Meattelli/Dominic Lee As promised a couple of weeks back in my post about Mark joining St. Vincent onstage to cover one of his classic early Pop Group tunes, I have here a free MP3 procured from his website, www.markstewartmusic.com . Said tune is a raging disco funk diatribe, Nothing Is Sacred, which is the AA of that super-limited Children of the Revolution 73 that came and went on Black Friday, and it beats the snot out of the current crop of bedwetters bleating about lacklustre sex. It comes backed [...]

With the Occupy Wall Street movement spreading to other cities, the media is paying a modicum of attention. Unfortunately, peaceful demonstrations are not going to get anything accomplished. Now that some Unions are involved, hopefully there will be some long term organization and goals. Demonstrations at the Koch brothers and Rupert Murdoch's mansions are nice, but burning em down would be better. However, what will really get the media involved will be violence. As abhorrent a concept it is, cracked skulls and riots will be what really starts the ball rolling. Bloody [...]
What does Columbus Day mean, exactly?
Who knew this straight laced, baby faced, future Owl Mag photo editor was a raging punker underneath it all.

"IN ALL OUR DECADENCE PEOPLE DIE" is an exhibition of fanzines presented to CRASS between 1976 and 1984. Also available are original Crass-era art by Gee Vaucher and new audio by Penny Rimbaud. Learn more here .

QUeUe (All photos by Chihiro Higaki) Sigh's Smell of Farewell, the Cocteau Twins tribute night at the Smell, was also a night of interesting musical collaborations, as every single performance was an amalgamation of musicians. First up was Life Group, a project featuring co-organizer Scott Cornish, and former member of Veer Right Young Pastor, members of Soft-Boiled Eggies, and current members of Devon Williams' band. They remained faithful to the original tracks instrumentally, but featured all-male vocals that lent a punkish bent to the tracks. Next was the premiere of QUeUe, a new project with members of [...]
Sunsmasher From: Glasgow, UK Lazy Equation: WORDS URL: Sunsmasher on Facebook.com // MySpace.com/Sunsmasher Thrash Hits Verdict: Being a bunch of soft lady-faced southerners, we sometimes get caught up in our ridiculous London bubble - you know, watching shit hipster hardcore bands where every band-member's first tattoo was some ugly neck piece. You know what the perfect [...]

Divorce From: Glasgow, Scotland Living up to their name Glasgow noise mongers Divorce are a radical break from the 21st century music scene. Their new single is two blistering, mind numbing blasts of uncompromising, uncommercial and borderline unlistenable atonal punk. They resurrect Riot Grrrl, give it a good kicking and send it out into the world snarling and ready to bite any bearded folkies it happens to stumble across. If you like your music unchallenging, straightforward and ukulele strewn then this is unlikely to be for [...]

It looks like the music industry shot its collective load last week, because it's slim pickings here (not to be confused with Louis Burton Jr., of course). Other than Face to Face and Moby , no new material is jumping out at me. Then there's the Levon Helm record. Sure, it's just a live album, but any time I get to hear the only member of The Band that matters... well, I'm about it. Other than that, there's a ton of Queen and Nick Cave reissues (all [...]
Poor Loving magazine. The May 1981 issue would arrive right in the middle of the royal wedding preparations, and would hopefully attract more attention than they'd ever had before. It did. It attracted the attention of anarchist punk collective Crass. Posing as Creative Recording and Sound Services, they approached the magazine with an offer of a free flexi disc they could put on their cover. This was Our Wedding given to the world, a nauseatingly saccharine bit of schmaltz. It's over the top on any scale of badness. [...]
1/23/1901 A few weeks ago the daily papers had much to say of the death, the life, character and fortune of Chicago's richest citizen - Philip D. Armor, the king of butchers end meat packers. In order that this man should be able to leave millions to his children and grandchildren, many thousands [...]
You know folks in America are still riding 'the' trains? Us neither!!! How much fucking fun would that be? Probably the most! Just you, your buddies, some crustcore t shirts, a pair of sensible shoes and a sleeping bag, exploring the world.
Sometimes you talk to guys about doing stuff and a year later it finally happens.
