A Short Film About Cassettes (You Need to Hear This)

Though the advent of CD and MP3 inevitably replaced its significance, the last few years have seen the cassette tape make an unexpected comeback. In the first of three short films, 'You Need To Hear This' celebrate its invention by meeting up with Jen Long, founder of cassette-only record label Kissability, and Brian Shimkovitz, DJ and founder of blog Awesome Tapes From Africa, to explore what drives their enduring love for the cassette tape.

Rolling Stones - Pay Your Dues (Necrophilia Unreleased Album 1972)
(Olympic Sound Studios, London, March 17-April 3 1968)

The original version of Street Fighting  Man.
Chief to scorn his friends make love to his relations
He beats his wife and makes her life A total wet vacation
Now did everybody pay their dues? Now did end up with tribal blues? All the braves and squaws and the maids and the whores, did everybody pay their dues?
He's the tribal chief his name is called disorder.
His flesh and blood he tears it up And actually fries his mama
Now did everybody pay their dues? Now did any of them try to refuse?
All the braves and squaw and the maids and the whores, did everybody pay their dues?
See all the children know he's lying, What's all the fuss? To be grown up is to be good at dying
Now did everybody pay their dues? Now did any of them try to refuse?
All the braves and squaw and the maids and the whores, Did everybody pay their dues?

The Art of Punk (I) - Black Flag


On the first episode of "The Art of Punk" we dissect the art of the legendary Black Flag. From the iconic four bars symbols, to the many coveted and collected gig flyers, singles, and band t-shirts, all depicting the distinctive Indian ink drawn image and text by artist Raymond Pettibon. We start off in Los Angeles talking to two founding members singer Keith Morris, and bass player Chuck Dukowski, about what the scene was like in 1976 - setting the stage for the band's formation, as well as the bands name, and the creation of the iconic four bars symbol. Raymond Pettibon talks with us from his New York art studio. Back in LA we meet with Flea, from the Red Hot Chili Peppers, about how the art, the music, and that early LA scene impacted his own life and career. To wrap it all up we sit and talk at length, with Henry Rollins, at MOCA Grand Ave in Los Angeles, about all of the above and more.
Created, directed, and Executive Produced by writer/author of 'Fucked Up + Photocopied', Bryan Ray Turcotte (Kill Your Idols), and Bo Bushnell (The Western Empire), The Art Of Punk traces the roots of the punk movement and the artists behind the iconic logos of punk bands such as: Black Flag (Raymond Pettibon), The Dead Kennedys (Winston Smith), and Crass (Dave King).
In addition to profiling the artists, the series includes intimate interviews with former band members, notable artists, and celebrities who have been heavily influenced by the art of punk rock including Jello Biafra, Tim Biskup, Scott Campbell, Chuck Dukowski, Flea, Steve Olson, Penny Rimbaud, Henry Rollins, Owen Thornton, and Gee Vaucher.
The filmmakers Bryan Ray Turcotte and Bo Bushnell take a unique approach to exploring the rich histories of these three seminal punk legends by focusing on the influential imagery and seeking out stories that have not been told yet through the artwork, which is integral to the importance and influence of each band.
On June 11, 2013 The Art Of Punk debuts on MOCAtv with an episode on Raymond Pettibon and the artwork of Black Flag. The stories behind the art of the Dead Kennedys will debut on June 18, and June 25 will see the release of the Crass episode, all of which will be available at:

The 99 Records Story

The nondescript exterior doesn’t show it but musical history was made at 99 MacDougal Street in New York’s Greenwich Village. The address currently houses a couple Indian fast-food joints, one specializing in a sort of Punjabi burrito, but three decades ago a different kind of cultural fusion was being cooked up. Downstairs, in what is now another faceless Village comedy club, was the headquarters of 99 Records, a record-store-turned-record-label vital to the evolution of New York dance music, post-punk and hip hop.
Despite only 15 releases in less than five years of existence, 99 was among the most influential independent labels of its era, and that influence still reverberates today. A quintessential New York City label, 99 (pronounced “nine-nine,” not “ninety-nine”) sits somewhere between an American answer to the British label Rough Trade and a punky precursor to DFA. The label’s sound was both distinct and diverse, touching on post-punk, disco, dub reggae and even avant-classical, highlighted by the exhilarating experiments in dissonance, repetition and volume of guitarist/composer Glenn Branca; the mesmerizing minimalist art-funk of ESG; and the percolating, polyrhythmic grooves of Liquid Liquid...

Ginsberg, Huncke & Orlovsky at Allen's farm in Cherry Valley

HH To Ginsberg - 1946 - (Season In Hell)

Between 9 & 10 P.M.

Allen,
Quite annoyed with finding you not in. As well as wishing to see you—I would like to know whether or not “the Burroughs” station coach has arrived—and where one might contact either Joan or Bill—and of course—preferably—both.
My reason for seeking the information from you is primarily because I am rather anxious to avoid Garver or Spenser.
Please as soon as you are acquainted with specific information—make an effort to let me know.
On my way from here to visit with Vickie.
Herbert
P.S. Borrowing—“Season in Hell” —
