William S. Burroughs - Burroughs Called The Law (conducted by Dub Spencer & Trance Hill)

From Burroughs In Dub

What is Punk? (Eric Morse and Anny Yi)

From the borough of Queens / came contenders to the throne: / in blue jeans and leather, / four teens called Ramones
They got straight to the point: / a one, a two, and three four, / “Hey ho, let’s go,” / two-minute songs—never more
Punks made a lot of noise, / they had something to say. / And just like the boys, / the girls came to play
Siouxsie, Go-Gos, and Blondie, / X-Ray Spex and the Slits / all made a holy racket / with their glitter and their grit.
That’s right, the Sex Pistols / a name naughty as can be / would harass the upper class, / with songs of Queen and anarchy.
They hoped that their sound / would never be forgotten. / So they made up silly names / like Sid Vicious and Johnny Rotten

Preacher (Coming in 2016)


Regrets? Sure I got a few but a major one was that just before I left to come out here to Melbourne in 86 I was asked to do the lettering for Steve Dillon's artwork (at the time stuff for 2000AD I think). I'd got introduced to Simon through the best man at my wedding Scurvy who was also whom the likeness of Si the serial killer was based on in Preacher. Previously Simon's dad had done the lettering but had just had a stroke. My ex partner still regrets this not coming together as they felt we could have not moved back to their hometown. I personally couldn't stand the idea of moving back to Thatcher's Britain. Of course had the internet been around...anyway such is life but looking forward to the TV adaption of Preacher

The other KKK: how the Kindred of the Kibbo Kift tried to craft a new world

Young men and women strike ritualistic poses on Stonehenge, Silbury Hill, the White Horse of Uffington and the Long Man of Wilmington: stark figures wearing strange, hieratic clothes in the elemental landscape. Taken in 1929, there is something disquieting about these black and white photographs. You feel as though you have intruded on the rites of a secret society that may or may not be benign, that indeed intends to be ambiguous and unsettling.
In one image, a young woman in long belted coat and cap is captured raising her arm by a standing stone. It’s an echo of the salute that would sweep Germany only a few years later, and it jars the viewer back into a time between the wars: a continent destroyed, and a desperate search for new solutions that often took curious forms.
Annebella Pollen’s The Kindred of the Kibbo Kift is a revelation. This scholarly book explores England’s most fascinating and forgotten youth movement. Through a detailed examination of the highways and byways of esoteric thought and alternative politics in the early 20th century, as well as plentiful photographs (many taken by a young Angus McBean, an active kinsman in the late 1920s), it reconstructs a radical moment lost to history, a future that never happened...
