REVIEWS....RETURN!
THE SWINDELLS Are full on fast,
frantic and feral. Oaf Rock is a collection of Thirteen tracks with
no airs and graces on offer just plain simple honest Punk Rawk fun
but not dumb! Well played, well produced and well 'ard. Think Infa Riot/The Lurkers/Blitz/Ramones. “Driven
by anger, but with no ambition or agenda.” their words not mine.
Go check 'em out!
THE MONTECRISTOS, Neal X former
Sigue Sigue Sputnik guitarist's new band have a sexy, sleazy and
swampy Rock'nRoll sound, with a brass section that bleeds and blends
between the guitar licks'n'twangs. The two stripped back and naked
Sputnik numbers on their debut album Born To Rock'n'Roll sound more 21st
Century Rock'n'Roll than the originals. Saturday Night Sunday Morning,
CHELSEA's latest album is a masterpiece, I dunno what it is but these
old timers are sounding fresher than ever, and just as passionate,
there's a real feeling and emotion in Genes vocals, and James
Stevenson’s guitar sings on theses songs Nic Austin has returned to
the ranks with a clutch of storming tunes. He's been a busy fella
recently, as his own band CHURCH OF EON have released their first
album All Our Tomorrows. They have a big post punk 80's sound to
them. Swirling keyboards, crashing guitars....these are big songs
that could fill stadiums. Nic's not the only Chelsea member whose
been playing away; James Stevenson along with fellow Rock'n'Roll
whores Glen Matlock (Sex Pistols/Rich Kids/Iggy Pop/Johnny
Thunders/Primal Scream/The Faces) Clem Burke (Blondie/Ramones), Garry
Twinn (Twenty Flight Rockers) have been playing together for a while
now, going under the name THE INTERNATIONAL SWINGERS Whatever Works
Now their debut album is out.... now, and if you like any of the bands
named above then you really need to check it out. Twelve toe tapping
tracks of top notch Rock'n'Roll where amongst the love, lust and
leather you'll find a splash of social and political comment. In
this day and age to open an album with the line “I had a crazy
dream about Afghanistan, grooving round a cave with the Taliban.” is
pure class. Opening track FBI is a view of US Foreign policy from
behind black sunglasses, Gun Control is possibly the best song
written about American Gun laws, and Honeys Room might be about a fix
or a fuck. Whatever Works Now is a self assured Rock'n'Roll
statement, everything you'd expect from those involved.
RANTINGS / WRITINGS....RETURN!
Silence is golden! Silence speaks volumes! Not so much ranting for a while now. Why?....Why not! Seen it all before, said it all before. Ten years of this shit!
I may have tuned out, but I haven't
turned off, so it's time to flick through the note pad and make sense
of the scribblings I've jotted down over the last few months and
weeks. So hey ho lets go see where this shit takes us.
Post election blues. Total CONtrol. A
undemocratic mandate first past the post....we lose. The British
people had a chance to 'change the system' when they voted for or
against Electoral Reform in 2011 and the alternative vote method was
rejected by the public. Stoopid fools....probably the same fuckers
moaning that UKIP didn't get a fair share of seats in parliament in
relation to the total votes they received, alternatively perhaps the
system wasn't for changing. Fooled again by the powers that we let
be. If voting changed anything.... blah, blah, blah.
No opposition, No Labour New Labour.
Left wing leadership candidate Jeremy Corbyn is in the lead....The
Labour Party are set to factionalise over this. Some believe a shift
to the left will make Labour unelectable at next election, others
feel the party is moving away from it's original ideals....is moving,
has moved thanks to cunts like Blair. Power for powers sake, easily
corrupted and co-opted. Some in the Labour Party are talking about
a split, why bother just fuck off and join the Conservatives, cos
that's all you really are, because the Labour Party should be a left
wing party. Career politicians whose only values are power and
money, means the red flag no longer flies, and I sneer at the
traitors and cowards. I'd rather the Labour Party didn't run the
country, they need be an effective opposition representing the
downtrodden underclasses and workers, otherwise we are all Tories
now!
Apparently anyone can pay £3 and
become a supporter of the Labour Party which entitles them to vote in
leadership election. This idea was brought in by previous Labour
leadership in order to balance out the block union vote. The
ultimate irony is that Militant Lefties and Communists are signing up
to back Jeremy Corbyn, as to are Daily Telegraph readers, because
they know that with a real left wing leader the Labour Party will be
unelectable, or will they? Maybe now, but what about in 10 years time
when the Tories have brought the people to their knees through cuts
after cuts? The people will be crying out and there will be no one
listening!
Since the election we've seen changes
in laws about workers striking, MP's have seen their wages rise, and
Fox Hunting laws may be repealed. No surprises there, but hey
changes in the Welfare system will make Britain a fairer society....
by cutting the benefits from the poor and needy! How the fuck does
that work? It doesn't, it's bollocks, just the same as using Tax
payers money to repair both The Houses of Parliament and Buckingham
Palace....Let them crumble into dust! and as for the opposition, well
before the infighting the Labour Party opposed none of the
Conservative Welfare policies, and now they're to busy opposing their
own party policies to care. Left with no opposition and we will end
up living under a dictatorship, if we aint already!
Politics of revenge. Islamic State (If
they haven't already been re-branded) gun down Brit tourists in
Tunisia and the media call for total war on I.S and their terrorism.
But hey correct me if I'm wrong but aren't we still at war with
terror and have been since 9/11 and all that has happened is more
terror and death, The West has toppled dictators across the middle
East and left nothing but a political and military vacuum in the
place of leaders that had kept control of their countries. IS are
worse than Saddam, Ghadaffi etc. Choose your terror....take aim
fire!
10 years ago 52 people killed in a
terrorist attack on London by Islamic Extremists.
15 years ago Al Qaeda flew planes into
tall buildings in New York killing 3,000.
20 years ago under the eyes of the
world media and UN peace keepers 8,000 Muslim men and boys were
slaughtered in Strebenista. Radicalization starts somewhere! and you
can't destroy a state of mind with drones and laser guided missiles,
they just create more innocent corpses propaganda and fodder to feed
the extremists mind. Violence breeds violence, so what do we do?
Forgive and forget or bomb the fuck out of 'em. A week before the
recent Tunisia Terror attack. A Far Right White supremacist crazy
guns down nine people in an American church. A day later the victims
families forgive the killer.
Politics of Risk. People start to
worry about holidaying in places like Tunisia they are scared of
being gunned down or blown up, or to visit places like London in case
they are beheaded in the street, but....they could go to somewhere
like Thorpe Park and get maimed in an accident on a roller-coaster.
Can't let their kids play outside in case there are paedophile in the
park, best let 'em play in their rooms on violent video games or get
groomed and radicalised on-line.
End of the world apocalypse....A Media
driven fear factor. A world on the edge. A safe
Edwardian Repo Wimpy house on Instability Street. Living life
through a lens were others misery and misfortune becomes home and
mobile entertainment. It's all going down the you tube as every one
buys a second-hand life in 24/7 instant time. Let them eat fried
chicken shop takeaways!
The following are
un-cut'n'pasted snippets from the clipboard :
Allah is a c**t /
Jesus is a c**t / Jehovah is a c**t / Bhudda is a c**t / Religion is
Bollocks!
They want us to live in fear of something. Total fear....Total control!
SNP Leader Nicola
Sturgeon has been described as the most dangerous woman in Britain,
a few years ago it was Myra Hindley.
Workers jobs are
cut, because the bosses fucked up. Public servants serve themselves
to surplus stock from the shelves.
Football... The beautiful game has
turned ugly with FIFA bribes and migrant workers lives.
People are dying as they try to get to
Britain from places like Syria, while there are others who are
leaving Britain and going to Syria where they are prepared to die.
Immigration / migration the West has created the problem and now
offers no solution except further misery and pain for the fleeing
populations from the warzones the West created!
If Britain is such a caring society,
then why are we spending a fortune on agency staff from overseas to
work for the NHS? Or is it that British nurses feel they are
underpaid, unrewarded and totally over run and could earn more
working abroad!
Army Fitness
Training Regimes....Keep fit the military way....Tough and hard.
How and why people do this on a Sunday morning is beyond me. They
obviously haven't worked hard enough during the week, are sadists or
have been total brainwashed by The States Health propaganda....you
need to eat your Army greens! It's a growth trade!
A Greek
surrender....a government sell out, or just bullied by the big boys.
In the birth place of democracy the people voted No! To austerity,
yet the latest bailout brings more austerity through pension and tax
reforms and less freedom with a reduction in Trade Union laws for the
Greek people. How does that work? It doesn't, no wonder many Greeks
are still angry!

Untitled.
From Srebrenica to Tavistock Square the
stench of death still hangs in the air.
It blows across the sand from Basara to
a tourist beach in Tunisia.
Extremists travel from near and far to
take a ride in an explosive ladend car.
Terrorism is nothing new, the media
tells us lone wolfs are after me and you.
The war on terror has not been won,
it's just brought more suicide bombs.
