This is punk rock: And this is what it means: "I'll tell you about punk rock: punk rock is a word used by dillitante's and ah... and ah... heartless manipulators about music that takes up the energies and the bodies and the hearts and the souls and the time and the minds of young men who give what they have to it and give everything they have to it and it's a... it's a term that's based on contempt, it's a term that's based on fashion, style, elitism, satanism and everything that's rotten about rock'n'roll. I don't know Johnny Rotten but I'm sure... I'm sure he puts as much blood and sweat into what he does as Sigmund Freud did. You see, what sounds to you like a big load of trashy old noise is in fact the brilliant music of a genius, myself . And that music is so powerful that it's quite beyond my control and ah... when I'm in the grips of it I don't feel pleasure and I don't feel pain, either physically or emoti...

It is somewhat implicitly assumed that gender equality is a pre-condition for a better society. Although I am behind this idea, I never thought about the "why" question behind this. I am sure this is the topics of many dissertations and books. What occurred to me as I listened to my best alternative rock playlist in my mp3 player, that the quality of the music -as far as I can judge- is highly correlated with the gender equality in a band. All of my favorite rock bands have at least a single woman member: Kim Gordon - Sonic Youth (Bass) Maureen "Moe" Tucker - The Velvet Underground (Drums) Kim Deal - Pixies (Bass) Bilinda Butcher - My Bloody Valentine (Guitars/Vocals) Debbie Googe - My Bloody Valentine (Bass) By the way, you know where gender inequality leads. Spice Girls.

I wanna head on collision with my love.

80s are known for bad music, bad hair and bad clothes. Although I agree on the last two, I think the alternative music scene, especially in UK, was extremely productive, innovative and good. Being a categories guy, here are my top 5 Alternative Rock Albums from the 80s, without any particular order. Daydream Nation - 1988 - Sonic Youth Sonic Youth were influenced by the works of the avant garde composer Glenn Branca. Their early work were a little too noisy even for the alternative music scene. They found the perfect balance between being avant garde and being easily enjoyed in this album. Teenage Riot, Eric's Trip, Providence, and Triology are my favorite. Treasure - 1984 - Cocteau Twins Elisabet Fraiser's -one who sang Massive Atack's Teardrop- nearly unintelligible yet magical singing mixes with ethereal guitars of Robin Guthrie, to give the music of Cocteau Twins a dreamlike tone. This record is much harder than their other works, and reminds me slightly of Bauhaus. Ivo...

Little bit of Pixies: pixies-monkey_gone_to_heaven Hochgeladen von labeteimmonde The songs about the monkeys who managed to strangle Neptune in mud, and get Zeus sucked out of the atmosphere, but damned to get burned through the hole in the sky, and still managed to go to heavens. If Man's five, then Devil's six. And if Devil's six, then God is seven, God is seven!
