And on to my first music post.
NoWhiteRag play a very atypical street punk, with the angry lyrics required from the genre, and intelligence and political activism to boot. You can find their older stuff on their site, www.nowhiterag.com . All of their music is D.I.Y. and copyright free.
It’s sung both in italian and in english, they have published the translated lyrics both on their myspace and on their own website. Continue reading ‘Music I: NoWhiteRag’
Sorry for all the feminists who have found one of their precious quotes disrupted. It is basically going to be about “green” shopping, pornography, marriage, and freedom of choice. Mixed in by a generous dose of ranting.
——————————————————————————————–
“The personal is political” is one of those hip quotes everyone even slightly left uses. Basically, it is used to mean: “You shouldn’t do anything before thinking of the deep political implications connected to it”. Never having read the feminist book the quotation springs from, I have no idea if this was the original meaning; I was told it meant that women’s problems come from the political world.
This is, sadly, not how it is used today – as it is a means to criticise personal choices and events in one’s life.
I) Shopping is rebellious!
Want to buy a piece of soap? You have to choose a brand that is known for not hurting anybody’s rights, be environmentally friendly, and possibly including Marx’s “Das Kapital” with every damn package. Continue reading ‘The personal is NOT political – (I)- Shopping is rebellious!’
First post – presentations are due.
I’m a guy, I live in italy now, even if my job has me wandering through europe, entertaining rich fat fucks and their sons and daughters. I will begin in a couple of weeks, and it will probably be as heavy on my nerves as it sounds. This is a reson for me to start the blog.
I will write about music, mainly on the extreme side of the spectrum. If I happen to know the artist I’m speaking of, and if he has no problems with it, I will put music downloads soon. Same if the artist has no copyright on his stuff.
I will write about politics, as well, so I make my stance clear. I’m an anarchist, or libertarian socialist if you prefer. I love using the expression “libertarian communism” to see people’s head burst . As you might understand, I like provocation a lot. I’m a pragmatist, though, not a hippie or any other kind of set of ideologies. So, if I write about something, I usually rationalise it. If you ignore the rationale behind the post, and go right to the “tree hugger!!oneoneeleven!” part, I will enjoy it with a smile, but I won’t answer you.
Last, but not least, I don’t believe in the existance of fairies, unicorns, santa claus, or god. If you do believe in any of these, you will have made my day and I will laugh heartily for a while.
