Die ‘Solidarität unter Punks’ (u. in der Hardcoreszene) ist den Leuten heute wichtiger als wo sie ernsthaft politisch stehen: gerade wenn es um Antispe geht. Auch daher bevorzugen wir persönlich eine Abgrenzung von Leuten, die durch Doppelstandards Hetzern das Feld überlassen … Solidarity among punks + in the hardcore scene is more important to people today than where they really stand politically: especially when it comes to #antispe. This is a reason why we prefer to distance ourselves from people who by double standards leave the field to haters. Like this band here calling itself “meat grinder”, calling their hardcore…Continue readingSelective ethical ignorance in conteporary Punk and Hardcore bands

The remnants of a movement that once thought of itself as expressing a form of individual freedom, expose themselves as of by now truly as heavily conformist. Me on the left in the early 80ies with a former acqaintant/peer. Me 2015. I have an ambiguous relation to having been a harcore oriented hippy-punk-“punk” from about 1982 until 1985. Still some Impulses that I picked up and some of my own ponderings that time, and last but not least Farangis’ reception in arts about punk and feminism, are something that still create a foundation of a present sentiment and some viewpoints…

I called Andy Martin of Unit in an email recently a “former punk”, saying how glad I was to know the more kind-of-authentic-people in that context like him. Here is his reply to me which I found so inspiring that I asked him if I could blog his input on that issue: Andy: …what? WHAT? WHAT? ‘PUNK MUSICIAN’? Madam, how dare you! I was never a ‘punk musician’. I was certainly never a punk and plenty of people (especially former band members) would insist I was never a musician either. If I was anything, I was a Mod, albeit one…Continue readingCritical creativity
Das Bild stammt aus der Reihe “Punk as a search for female autonomy” von Farangis, https://farangis.de/punk/ Ich gebe es zu, ich war dummerweise in DE Punk, ein Fehler, aber ich dachte damals wir wären eigentlich in Europa Gita Yegane Arani, 1983 in London. Das Foto hat Derek Ridgers (London Youth 1978 – 1987; 2014) > http://www.derekridgers.com/ > mal wohl eher zufällig von mir 1983 in London gemacht. Hat mich gewundert, da ich eher zu den optisch langweiligeren Leuten gehört habe. Aber interessant heute zu sehen, zumal ich mich früher sehr ungern habe ablichten lassen. Ich glaube ich lege im gewissen Sinn Wert darauf…Continue readingAnarcho-Punk und Tierrechte

Saline and Mithras and me
Shortly after Mithras and Saline came from Offenbach. Der Käfig ist jetzt lange weg, wir hatten ihn nur zur Beförderung angeschafft – … I am extremely gracious that Mithras and Saline are finally accommodating themselves more to our new shared home. The got their own room upstairs. A few photos of Saline and Mithras and me. Just for the sake of diversion, here are two tracks I made. The first I recorded in 1991 when I lived for one year in Berlin, it’s a rough sketch type of tune. The second is a spntaneous pretty embarrassing track I taped relatively…Continue readingSaline and Mithras and me

I should …
I should basically return to my old NiceSwine-Blog to write in English, but this is personal talk so I am just gonna create this space for myself for it, and yes in English. Currently I am again a bit dissappointed of German Zeitgeist. I am an avid listener to the radio. We only have two talk type of stations, all other stations are music stuff (and boring music even, I tend to listen – if I tune in music – to the one station that plays 80ies charts stuff, well whatever). And yes, on the news on the radio things…Continue readingI should …
