Are you don’t living in Holland?

No problem.

YOU CAN BE A FASCIST TOO

by Arizona punk band PLAYBOY MANBABY

from the album Don’t Let It Be on Lolipop (US) and Dirty Water Records (UK)

I am right. I am correct.

3 punks, 1-1 from Japan, France and Spain, together with
a Caribbean tennis teacher,

who unlike the others was not in a band before,
but was chosen for singing because he is a frenetic dancer, well,
they met at first at a Billy Childish gig at Dirty Water Club in London,
and soon they formed the

KING SALAMI & THE CUMBERLAND 3

influenced by the 50-60s rhythm and blues, rockabilly, rock and roll and soul,
like Andre Williams, Screamin’ Jay Hawkins, Bo Diddley, Sonics, Trashmen, Link Wray, James Brown and more. They play it with punk attitude in an exceptional manner.

New album Going Back To Wurstville on Dirty Water Records (Europe), Off The Hip (Aus) and Disk Union (Jap)

NY punk band PARQUET COURTS with Texan rapper BUN B (ex-UGK), who one time planned a book „Hip Hop Survival Guide” with journalist and illustrator Shea Serrano, but finally they rather made a rap coloring book. So maybe Bun B has been drawn by his mate:

Captive Of The Sun ft. BUN B out now on limited edition 12” via Rough Trade.

The original track is on PARQUET COURTS’ latest album Human Performance.

In the lyrics there is a phrase: misophonia. It means literally „hatred of sound.” It is a condition in which negative emotions, thoughts, and physical reactions are triggered by specific sounds. One study found that around 80% of the sounds were related to the mouth as eating, chewving, yawning and etc.

„We are still mythical;
we are still
permanently trapped
somewhere between the heroic and the pitiful”

Kate Tempest, writer, musician

„Metrical rigour and adroit rhyming are not yet among her accomplishments. She has a pretty, cherubic face, framed by unbrushed red blonde hair and she speaks in a Caribbean lite patois that translates ‘those things’ into ‘dem fings’. This linguistic pattern has many fans among the elite. It’s seen as an emblem of barbarous innocence, of instinctive passions bred in the ghetto, of an unschooled and therefore superior creativity. And it particularly excites Arts Council grandees who believe their mission is to reach down to the uncivilised and protean human type. Which Tempest perfectly represents.”

About Kate Tempest’s poetry by Lloyd Evans playwright and sketch writer in good old British conservative magazine The Spectaor. He also says „She is also pessimistic to the point of superstition. She sees malevolence everywhere.”

from the album Let Them Eat Chaos on Fiction Records (UK). Her former records were released by Big Dada/ Ninja Tunes.

„Illusion, my darling, everything is just illusion. Believe me! Causeless bustle, but many of us think it is the order itself. Childish illusion. But the method, it is deserving.”

Alexander the Lame

Pop like The Pixies, and punk like the Parquet Courts, with such great songs like the aforementioned have.    

TERRY is an Aussie quartet with members of such great bands as UV Race, Total Control, Dick Diver, Constant Mongrel or Lower Plenty – and Xanthe Waite sings one of Mick Harvey’s Gainsbourg album.

It has been formed after a Total Control US tour in Mexico City in 2015 when two couples have decided to start a simple and charming pop band that could tour and vacation together. But more telling about that “simple and charming pop” that The Rebel (ex-Country Teasers) was chosen to play with them on their first show in London.

8 GIRLS on 7″ VINYL by TERRY

RECENTLY RELEASED on UPSET THE RHYTHM (UK)

The three songs explores themes of patriarchy in politics, mass consumption versus lifestyle choices and the dating scene. On the cover you can find seven Australian politician women, and one Angela Merkel. They said about  

The national identity in Australia is primarily male. Women in the public sphere are expected to take on the characteristics of national identity more so than men. They are also required to prove themselves as Australian women.

Not only are female Australian politicians expected to represent characteristics of national identity they usually also show a greater level of Australian masculinity. It’s a fast track to be taken seriously. But many of the females in power seem to give up common sense.

Some women I have found

Health Minister poor Sussan Ley has resigned after using a taxpayer-funded trip to purchase an A$795,000 (£473,300; $585,200) apartment on Queensland’s Gold Coast in 2015. And also went to New Year parties in 2013 and 2014 on taxpayers’ money.

Lower house speaker Ms Bronwyn Bishop charged taxpayers A$5,000 (£2,300, $3800) to fly by helicopter to a Liberal Party fundraiser in 2015. It was a journey of 65 km (40 miles). At longest one hour with car. And of course she had not just a car, but a driver too, paid by taxpayers, of course. She also claimed expenses for attending weddings, opera and art events. Resigned as speaker, and was defeated on the next election.

Right-wing populist senator Ms Pauline Hanson and her male mate were sentenced to three years imprisonment in 2003 because of false statements about their party members in order to register their organisation in Queensland as a political party, and apply for electoral funding.

In her book, titled The Truth, Ms Hanson predicted that in 2050 Australia would have a lesbian president of Chinese-Indian background called Poona Li Hung who would be a cyborg. No wonder that one of her party candidate, Ms Stephanie Banister, said in an interview that Islam is a country, and the Jews worship Jesus. And she is a graduated woman.

„Money, you got plenty of it
You leave it around your place
Who knows?
You might end up in the bin”

Terry – Bin

Ha-ha-ha, those amounts of money are ridiculously tinies. A tip category in the post-communist Hungary. But the rate of stupidity of senator Ms Hanson and Ms Banister is ordinary in the Hungarian policy and public life.

But what is absurd. The almighty Liliputin dictator, Viktor Orbán – aka über führer – , his government and the feudal lords of Hungary have recently made war on the civil society, in order to prevent the organized objection and extirpate the pluralism.

Just like in the pre-Stalinist Hungary in 1947-48, when communist minister of the interior, László Rajk, banned the civil organizations. He ended up on a gallows as the star of a show trial in 1949.

So dear Australian friends you must – how comrade Lenin said – learn, learn, and learn.

from their debut album TERRY HQ on UPSET THE RHYTHM (UK)

In the UK there were solemn acts owing to the 40th anniversary of the release of debut single of Sex Pistols’ Anarchy In The UK. And it is told that 26th day of November in 1976 is the birthday of Punk.

I heard about two things only.

1 for the why: Luton made this November memorable forever with UK Subs and Vibrators concerts.

2 for the pose: son of Malcolm McLaren and Dame Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire Vivian Westwood burnt punk reliques supposedly in the worth of 5 million GBP together with his mum on that birthday on Thames in London.

But 3 to get ready for THE MOONLANDINGZ

Persons taken from the Fat White Family & The Eccentronic Research Council

Debut album Interplanetary Class Classics coming soon on Transgressive Records (UK) and Chimera Music (US)

Anyway the B-Side of Anarchy was „I Wanna Be Me”, so „This is brainwash and this is a clue / To the stars who fooling you.”

„everyone believes in something that doesn’t exist, we’re telling people we don’t exist, that we’re a fictional band and

we want to write the biggest pop hits that the radio won’t touch.”

MOONLANDINGZ

In this fiction the persons are from the Fat White Family & The Eccentronic Research Council, and this phantom song is „our ode to the odious little England hegemony we have suddenly found ourselves sinking into”

from Blak Hanz EP on Transgression Records (UK) on 16 Dec

But maybe all of these are just games of the imagination.

Bela Lugosi originally was a locksmith lad but became an actor of the National Theatre of Hungary. During the short lived Hungarian Soviet Republic in 1919 he was a member of the workers and soldiers’ soviet in the 2nd district of Budapest. He was charged with communize the Hungarian theatres by the Commissariat of Public Education.

He „was a dangerous communist”. In revolutionary meetings at Club of Artists and National Theatre he agitated for communism and the dictatorship of proletariat. And he presented it. Mayor of Budapest was evicted from his flat by our hero. After the fall he escaped, but a warrant of arrest was issued by the Royal Prosecution Office against him.

„A frightful hobgoblin stalks throughout Europe. We are haunted by a ghost, the ghost of Communism” – wrote Marx and Engels in their Communist Manifesto in 1848. But the Americans were haunted by the Dracula himself. And now also the Englishmen, thanks to The Severed Limb

They are very DIY . „The Severed Limb began life as a punk skiffle trio, recording a cassette in the cellar of drummer Charlie Michael’s south London pub in 2008. With Bobby Paul on guitar/vocals and Charlie’s half brother Leo Lewis on washboard they began gigging in South London pubs. With no actual bass player they asked members of the audience to fill in on tea-chest bass.”

But maybe you also don’t know what is „skiffle.” Well, it’s a music genre with jazz, blues, folk and roots influences, usually using homemade or improvised instruments. Exactly like Mama Rosin does it.

Today there are six men in The Severed Limb, even with so trivial instruments like standard drum-kit or organ, so the shadow of heresy is on them. Dr. Orloff should to make an inspection in this case.

„Bela Lugosi” 7″ vinyl will be released on Drastic Decline Records on November 12.

“I’m a fucking furniture removalist from Adelaide. I write down-and-out pop songs. I write songs about every job that I do.”

He is Craig Dermody, well, he writes down-and-out pop songs exactly like Parquet Courts. Bored, melanholic, sometimes angry, simple, beautiful. This song is taken from his 3rd album Mid Thirties Single Scene. It has been released in September by Fire Records (UK).

Euro tour is going to start this month: UK, Holland, Germany, Spain, France.

Craig’s band is Scott & Charlene’s Wedding, named about a golden act of an Australian soap oper Neighbours, when Kylie Minogue and Jason Donovan got married in 1987.

And here is the old bandcamp page with the old albums, and you can find there his best song Footscray Station.

És kedves magyar olvasó, ennek a „Neighbours”-nak lett hazai változata a Szomszédok néven ismert szocio-horror.
