Oi! Is this punk rock?

What can I do to help sing more like the guy from OWTH?

Coke?

The NY Met Gala being themed around punk? It costs like $10000 to get a ticket to that thing.

It’s like they haven’t even heard of a $10 sliding scale for house shows. I’m starting to wonder if they’re taking their commitment to punk seriously.

The least punk.

dude i'm having a problem because i like batman but i'm starting to realize that batman is fascist as fuck

Write fanfiction where he’s poor and his parents are killed in industrial accidents and he beats the shit out of corrupt rich people.

New Black Flag song?

Olds gonna old.

why does everybody hate Henry Rollins so much?

lugjabask — Sat, 27 Apr 2013 20:49:56 +0100

He’s no fun.

Okay, yeah, Frank Turner is pretty tedious, but his new song "Four Simple Words" is punk af

lugjabask — Sat, 27 Apr 2013 20:28:07 +0100

Are those words “ALL COPS ARE BASTARDS!” or some variant thereof? If not then maybe it’s punk but it is not quite punk as fuck.

Best punk rock in Portland?

lugjabask — Sat, 27 Apr 2013 19:33:46 +0100

I dunno. I’ve never been there.

I don’t pay particular attention to what city a punk band comes from. Like, I might pick up that information as an ancillary fact if someone mentioned it somewhere but I don’t find a new band and go like “I CANNOT REST UNTIL I DISCOVER THE CONURBATION FROM WHICH THIS NOISE HAS SPRUNG! THIS CRUST SONG SOUNDS LIKE IT IS IN THE TRADITION OF CRUST FROM COPPEROPOLIS, CALIFORNIA, SO IT IS TRULY A SHOCK TO FIND THAT THEY HAIL FROM KALAMAZOO, MICHIGAN!”

I like those bands Nerveskade and Frenzy. They’re from there, right? No idea if they’re the best or not. If it’s one of those weirdo towns that everyone makes fun (and it seems to be the number one one of those) of for being hipsters then it usually squeezes out a bunch of good punk shit.

The band Kenickie.

Punk rock.

Intellect. As in: the need and desire to learn, not I.Q. or education levels, or how well you can speak and express yourself, or even calculate situations, but one's desire for knowledge. "Natural curiosity"

lugjabask — Thu, 25 Apr 2013 04:53:41 +0100

Yes. As perfectly evidenced by the Splodgenessabounds song What’s That Funny Noise?

Ian Malcolm?

He should’ve had a Chaos UK backpiece on that sweet leather jacket. And studs made from raptor teeth.

agree that frank turner is tedious. but what about million dead?

lugjabask — Wed, 24 Apr 2013 23:05:15 +0100

Decent enough hardcore band, especially when they kept it brief. Shit like Bovine Spungiform Economics and Plan B is great, they had a really cool sound on stuff like that, fuzzy and scratchy and thin but still with pure hardcore aggression, but when they tried to get expansive and shit it fell apart. Whoever the fuck gave them the idea they could write 6 minute songs? Probably the juggernaut of unearned self-esteem that is the British class system.

Have you heard Australia's greatest punk band (arguably) the Drones?

lugjabask — Wed, 24 Apr 2013 23:00:21 +0100

I have heard a bit. They’ve got some really sweet noisy shit but they play to slow and long to be the greatest Australian punk band. Some of the best Australian bands: Vaginors, White Cop, Eddy Current Suppression Ring, Bits of Shit, Total Control, Bloody Hammer, The Saints, Vae Victis, Mach Pelican, Straightjacket Nation, Kromosom, Bed Wettin’ Bad Boys.

Can you write a review of the new Frank Turner album?

lugjabask — Wed, 24 Apr 2013 22:53:27 +0100

You know when I ragged on the Gaslight Anthem for being old boring boring safe boring olds selling a dead idea of rock to the idea-dead rock cocks for like 3000 words? Just reread that but imagine I replaced every mention of ‘America’ with ‘the home counties’, and just threw in a few more “Oi!”s and “Wotcha”s to Brit it up a notch. That man is so tedious I can’t even be bothered to hate him properly. I’ll be over here blasting Wild Child, Effluxus and FNU Ronnies.

The violence of the oppressed

lugjabask — Tue, 23 Apr 2013 04:39:41 +0100

The punkest.

the fact that one of the phenomenaut's fundraiser prizes is getting to hunt a member for sport?

lugjabask — Mon, 22 Apr 2013 21:58:36 +0100

That’s pretty punk rock. I think the hardest punk band to hunt a member of for sport would be one of those early anarcho crust bands. Those guys seem like they knew their way round a composite bow and a booby trap. Crust punk: the most dangerous game.

What do you sound like?

lugjabask — Mon, 22 Apr 2013 21:08:54 +0100

Like this. Which reminds me, I have to up me and my buddy’s Margaret Thatcher Tribute Podcast today.

Buying denim vests instead of buying denim jackets and cutting the sleeves off????

lugjabask — Mon, 22 Apr 2013 20:50:59 +0100

Punk rock, but definitely less punk rock, but I’ve totally done it, cos I’m lazy.

What I want though is someone to rock a punx jacket like that one-arm shit Janet Jackson has going in this video.

"Don't be a dick"

lugjabask — Mon, 22 Apr 2013 20:44:05 +0100

Fuck any shit that doesn’t draw distinctions between the violence of the oppressed and the violence of the oppressor.

still bitter over Star Trek: TNG lol

I watched that shit when I was a kid, as such, I saw nothing wrong with a child repeatedly saving the day, because I was a child and I knew that children were way better than adults. I didn’t care about bad writing. I just thought Worf was cool and stuff. I could not give a shit about Wesley Crusher. I hate Wil Wheaton, the adult man. Wil Wheaton now. I loathe him.

But central to the myth of Wil Wheaton is the notion that his fans have somehow forgiven him some terrible wrong for playing a badly written character on a TV show and thus he is raised to the level of suffering christ-figure and they are raised to the level of forgiving just saints and thus the imbecilic self-congratulatory backpat human centipede of weak tea continues imbued for those spinning toothlessly in its burbling aqua-chiffon gyre with a near-divine sense of imperviousness to criticism, all based on the easiest terms of sacrifice and redemption imaginable in this mad universe. He is the figurehead of those with that vile sense of superiority that comes with being a geek, the sneering delusion of those who believe themselves exemplars of moral rectitude because they have a white knight xkcd comic blutacked to their cubicle wall, tout themselves as some sort of oppressed righteous social movement because they know what the Kobayashi Maru is, who genuinely believe themselves unimpeachable intellectual titans for correcting the superfluous grammar mistakes of others, who toss about horrific sticky platitudes and cite ‘Wheaton’s law’ of ‘Don’t be a dick’ like it was actually some revelation handed down on high to these fucking light-beer harrumphing centrists gobmonks, who claim to be ‘nice people’, who act like Jon Stewart is Karl fucking Marx and Keith Olbermann is bell fucking hooks, fuck that booming sexless vanilla shitcunt and the vast wastelands of his suffocating farting sanctimony and tepid wholefoods wankspray.

Wil Wheaton would describe Gaslight Anthem as ‘real music’.

What is wrong with Wil Wheaton?

lugjabask — Mon, 22 Apr 2013 20:37:21 +0100

Everything.
