• Well…we had a good run. And by "we" I mean men. Experts are not predicting that the entire male population will be extinct in five million years - and the process has already begun. Listen, I understand that I'm nowhere near as smart as most scientists. I have a degree in Communications and English. It's [...]

Every once in a while, a movie comes along where the music plays such an important role that it's almost another character. Tis was exactly the case for 20002s High Fidelity . Based on the novel of the same name written by Nick Hornby, High Fidelity is the tale of record store owner Rob Gordon (played by John Cusak) who revisits his past relationships to figure out what went wrong with his most recent girlfriend. Accompanied by the two music dorks that work for him, the trio make the forming of musical top five lists an art [...]
I like John Cusack. Older siblings can be very handy. Considering I have five of them that's just as well. Amongst their uses is they buy records and stuff when you are wee, so you get exposed to a lot more stuff than some poor, sad only child, who is stuck with the radio and their parents record collection. (Though if you have cool parents then you might also get lucky with hearing good records) So it was with many things in my house, but the band that came [...]

How about those New York Football Giants, huh? The defense looked great today, Hakeem Nicks reasserted himself as the team's premiere wide receiver, Brandon Jacobs showed why the offense should be run through him…it made me very excited to see the game against Green Bay next week. I think it's going to be a good [...]

January 1942: 500 Wehrmacht soldiers found themselves surrounded by the Red Army on the Eastern Front. Suffering in temperatures of –22 Fahrenheit, marching through snowdrifts that at times reached waist high, soldiers began to lie down in the snow to die. Six hours into their escape they claimed they could go no further. Commanders made [...]
So, the 200th podcast. I remember a couple of years ago when the 100th ticked past, it happened to be a Toad Session, and as those are pre-recorded with little idea when they'll fit into the sequence of Toadcasts I never really marked the milestone in any sort of a way. This time around I was very much conscious of it, but still couldn't really think of a way to make it interesting and, on Thursday night, with no real plan, I just sat down to have a go at editing a compilation consisting of at least one [...]
Who knew this straight laced, baby faced, future Owl Mag photo editor was a raging punker underneath it all.
Things I learned this weekend: Apparently it's grounds for an ass-kicking when you're black-out drunk at a bar and you tell a girl her boyfriend is "limp dicked" and ask her if you can "put a little baby in your tum tum." Good thing I was in a large group of people who would have [...]
Por Fernando Mujica La gente que recuerda Cemento como el templo de antaño del rock, habla de la fecha Stiff Little Fingers , en julio de 2000, como una de las presentaciones de punk rock más aplaudidas en la historia de nuestro país. La llama de los Fingers seguía encendida en los corazones de quienes que se dieron cita el sábado 13 de agosto en el Teatro de Flores , para presenciar su única presentación en la Argentina desde aquel entonces.

By all indications, this probably isn't a fun time to be living in England. The British Empire continues to crumble, the Big Society is a joke, the commoners remain in the vise grip of Royal Wedding
photos by Konstantin Sergeyev Stiff Little Fingers @ Gramercy Stiff Little Fingers played two NYC shows last week, tagging Europa on June 2nd and Gramercy Theater on June 3rd as part of their tour surrounding their appearance at Punk Rock Bowling : How do I even begin to describe the degree of epic-ness for an event like the 13th Annual Punk Rock Bowling Tournament and Music Festival in Downtown Las Vegas?

Going to see Stiff Little Fingers in some shithole Polish disco in Hipsterville Brooklyn that my band has actually played. It's sad that they have to take the same stage that we disgraced. Stiff Little Fingers were the shit to me. Growing up... seeing them during the Nobody's Heroes Tour in NYC in '81 or so. Their songs were part of the beat that kept my heart pumping. A Pale Copy [...]

"Woman hold her head and cry, 'cause her son had been shot down in the street and died from a stray bullet..." Three years after Marley's grim original, Belfast's Stiff Little Fingers saw that Johnny Was didn't just fit the Kingston ghetto: it happened to be just as relevant for the situation around them in Northern Ireland. The resulting cover remains one of the most blistering examples of the punk-reggae hybrid. Bob Marley & The Wailers - Johnny Was MP3 Stiff Little Fingers - Johnny Was MP3
