corruption, in ten minutes.

Brilliantly explained. The solution is NOT a candidate. Let us know when it's time to vote for a new government.

'this aggression will not stand, man...'

We wanted to share this video with you - the Occupy Wall Street demonstration, still without any real direction (or for that matter, any demands or specific goals) is nonetheless succeeding in its goal of upsetting the authorities enough to force them into some bad decisions. Search for some other videos, and you'll find police targeting people with cameras and recorders, peaceful protesters getting maced by cops who run away afterwards, and a clusterf*ck of other phone-shot videos. And a good thing, too, as the demonstration, though huge, is being largely ignored (or on occasion, maliciously misrepresented) by most media - if you want proof of who's in charge of your media, that should suffice.

 

 

 

"Her life is in your hands." "Sh*t."

We're not buying this. Not any of it.

True, the masses seem to have a sick soft spot for cop-killers that defies reason. And true, as the Huffington Post declares, there's "... no solid evidence that an innocent man has been executed in this country in the last fifty years." But that's not enough. That a man with any chance of innocence be put to death is nothing short of appalling, and disgraceful doesn't seem to be the best adjective. If you want proof that the human race is more stain than anything else, this goes a long way.

'she goes out and owes money all over town...'

I mean, we're just sayin'. But seriously, give Barack some time, I'm sure he can get that up to 40% easy if we give him eight years.

Nothing But a Bunch of F*cking Amateurs...

The above picture is Kevin Shea, a friend of ours from the highly-recommended avant group Mostly Other People Do the Killing.

Kevin almost lost his eye several days ago after a hit at University of the Streets (a LES shithole we will NOT link to) with Talibam!. Here's the story from bassist Tom Blancarte, as posted on BrooklynVegan:

"Breaking news to all musicians in NYC who might be playing at University of the Streets in the East Village:

I just played there with Talibam!, Tim Dahl and Moppa Elliott, and when we were finished, the owner and her son told us that we owed them 50 dollars. When we told them we didn't owe them anything, her son punched my friend Kevin in the face with keys in his hand! He came close to losing his left eye! Please boycott this place, they are bad, bad people."

We've verified this story, by the way - no rumor-mongering here. No doubt the fallout from this is only just beginning, but we're officially throwing full support behind Kevin on this, and please pass the word along - this is absolute bullshit, and there is no way anyone in NYC or anywhere else should allow something like this to happen - this pathetic excuse for a venue needs to be shut down. Now.
