CCD bees & some german power violence.

today i was browsin, and went to ANNEX ONE. i found a very interesting article about how our cell phones disorient bees, and in chain reaction how it kills them, and how it causes a global problem. i pretty much hate cellphones, if i could live without them, i would try to destroy as many as possible. i wont tell whats in the article, go to the site, and read it, and check out the video, which is awesome.


the band i'll introduce in this post is (or at least was) a german power violence band by the always awesome Tom Schmolke (henry fonda, obi wahn, toxic kids, ex-call me betty, yehonala tapes, etc.). what can you expect from a band with only 2 shows, about 5 rehearsals, 1 demotape, and about 100 songs? fast as hell, full of blasts, screaming, cookie monster voices, and shit like that. which i really much love. and this tape is a perfect example how improvised or 'half-improvised' music should sound like.

How We Get Down At Shows

So, I went to an awesome show the other day in Csepel, and a few things occured to me about going to shows, about playing shows, about seeing live music, and yes, about live music in general, particularly the "counter cultural" live music we love, propagate and promote on this blog. First of all, why the fuck do people come to shows to "stand around and smoke cigarettes"? What is the fucking point, leave your fucking shoe gazing at the shoe gaze concerts. I am not saying everybody HAS to mosh, but at least let me see that you are in to it, that you are enjoying yourselves. I hate it when motherfuckers come down to gigs, and they either stand there and feel angsty, or stand around judging shit, instead of getting into what is happening, and for what they bought their fucking tickets for. At this show there was none of that, and it was great. And the past few shows there have been none of that, while Budapest used to be the fucking king of kids standing around, looking at their shoe laces.

Also, I hate it when i get funny looks for moshing, and I especially hate it when i dance or wiggle around, keeping it to myself, knowing folks do not wanna mosh, and kids are staring at me. Man, fuck you. Again, if you are in a situation like that, stop caring if folks are making fun of you, or the faces you are making, or the way in which you move or whatever. Fuck um, they just some haters, man. When inhibitions and fucking social manipulation get in the way of your having fun, that is sad, and it sucks, but if that is already happening to you, please, do not spread the cancer on some folks who might actualy get down. As someone who has played quiet a few gigs, I know it fucking sucks BALLS to see motherfuckers standing around. If the band cannot see that at least someone is interested in what they are doing, they will not play their best either. Keep that in mind.

The next link is a post of some of the Napalm Death bootlegs that my singer, Gabika hooked me up with, my absolute respect goes out to him for it. These three are a pre-Scum era gig in Birmingham, where they hideously suck ass, a rehearsal tape of FETO era material, as well as another British gig, lots of songs, this one was in Portsmouth in 1988. Enjoy.

OTHER PEOPLE'S SHIT:

This next one is the split between Impetigo and Transgressor, an american grind/thrash/gore whatever else band and a Japanese old school death/thrash metal band. Impetigo I think is one of the most unique bands out there, and only kids into gore listen to them, I do not know why, cuz they fucking rule, absolutely atmospheric music in so many ways, just has it's own feel to it, it is its own genre in a way. The album smells musty and dank, spreading disease and groove, it is really really good. BUT the best thing about it is not what is on it musically, but in between songs, he is making fun of his audience. The next time you are at a show and are hating on someone, or looking at them funny like, or you wanna mosh but are too pent up or self conscious, just think of this mans words, and you will fuck shit up.

sssssssssshhhhhh

So I decided to post some of my own favourites too... I don’t have anything to say right now, only that I fucking love this band, yet I don’t know shit about them. I only know that they’re from the states, and they play fast, haha. They have a chick as their vocalist, and she has some pretty sweet voice for music like this. I don’t know if they still exist, tho’.I first met this band when I bought a compilation tape called Thrashaholics Anonymous by Skeletor Tapes, from my local tape dealer, Dr. Slayer. The first thing I saw was the awful, but fucking awesome cover art. Looks like a kid’s drawing about a concert, and it has many-many awesome bands on it like Din Addict, Ulcerrhoea, Jazzus, etc. (I’ll upload the taperip sometime for sure!)

I was listening to the tape, laying in bed, I remember I was sick and had a fucking bad hangover, and all of the sudden a harsh and high scream yelled from my tapedeck ’YO FASCIST...’ . It was Fascist Trend/Bald Head from Hatemail Killerz. I was amazed by this band, and I still am, its so harsh, fast, tight, just what I love. Ok, I’m starting to bitch too much about how I live my life, so its better if I just give you the link, and shut my mouth.http://www.mediafire.com/?yw2rzzmwdxj

Here's a live vid about the band. Oh, and sorry, I couldn't find any other songs by the band, else then these songs. I don't even know what album/split/ep are they from. I suck.
