(1W/1S)#10: Casey Jones – No Donnie, These Men Are Straight Edge

xMonkeyMosherx — Sun, 18 Jul 2010 19:35:17 +0000

It’s been a while since the last time I wrote about lyrics (especially in English). But lately I get a lot of bad comments and criticism about me being straight edge, so I decided to use this song to answer to everybody. I realize that a lot of people still judge me for being different. The thing is…I don’t care about what people think. I’m just tired to explain and justify myself all the time. Being straight edge is my choice and my life. If people can’t understand and accept it, I don’t care. I’m still straight edge and still proud of it.

Without shame i’ll put this black
X on my hand
without shame i’ll speak up and
make my stand
in the end will use this
use this for my voice
spread your rumors about me
because it’s my choice
what the fuck do you know?
about me?
why the fuck do you care?
what i do?
who the fuck are you?
you ain’t fucking shit
you think i care about you or what you say about me?
keep talking shit
you think i care what you write or what people read on me
i am still edge
carry these words high
straight edge
i am still edge

Straight edge is not cool anymore and I think it’s better that way. So, keep talking shit but I’ll stay true to myself, no matter what. My life, my choice!

Animal rights activist Peter Young in Amsterdam!

xMonkeyMosherx — Sat, 26 Jun 2010 16:14:45 +0000

Even if I don’t agree with all his views and ideas, I must admit that Peter Young has some interesting stuff to say. The good news is that he’s coming to Europe to share his 15 years experience as an activist for the animal liberation movement. So if you can attend one of those two spoken word sessions, do it!

On the 1st and 2nd of July activist and former animal liberation prisoner Peter Young will discuss experiences and lessons from 15 years in the animal liberation movement.

An outspoken supporter of those who work outside the law to achieve animal liberation, Young offers the hows and whys of working underground for animal liberation in the U.S., success and failures of the A.L.F., and his personal experiences moving from mainstream activist, to midnight
raids, prison, and beyond.

Young will discuss A.L.F. history, government persecution, defeating fear, activism stories, and direct action strategy, and more.

Vinyl: Forever Young – The Chance

xMonkeyMosherx — Sun, 20 Jun 2010 15:27:20 +0000

One of the things I love about hardcore is that some bands and records labels still press and release vinyls records. So I decided to blog a bit more about the great 7 inches and 12 inches that I get. The first record I want to present is Forever Young‘s 7 inch called The Chance.

I don’t know this band for so long. The first time I heard of them was when they got their song “X on my hand” featured in the EDGE The Movie documentary. Here is a quick biography:

Sweden’s FOREVER YOUNG made their mark with the 10 tunes debut “The Guarantee” (Monument Records) and with this follower they keep the path of vegan dreams. Song titles like “Straight Edge Got My Back” and “Keep It Posi” are reflecting the state of mind of this restless VSE Umeå band : filled with attitude, knowledge and youth.

This Red/yellow mix color vinyl was released on I FOR US RECORDS (from Belgium) and Monument Records (from Sweden) and you can still get your copy on our webstore. This is the first pressing: 625 red/yellow mix and 10 test presses.

Tracklist:

1. Forever Young II
2. Keep It Posi
3. Bigger Than Hardcore
4. 090
5. Time Is Running Out
6. SXE Got My Back
7. Every Day Is War

This record is fast, raw, straight to the point and REALLY catchy (if you’re like me, you’ll probably listen to it 15 times in a row!). If you like fast melodic hardcore with sincere lyrics (mostly about hardcore, straight edge or veganism), check these guys out!

A more in-depth review can be found on the World’s Appreciated Kitch blog.

Plus d’infos sur le film de Banksy

xMonkeyMosherx — Tue, 06 Apr 2010 19:54:11 +0000

Nouvelle update depuis mon dernier billet sur Exit Through The Gift Shop, le nouveau film de Banksy. Après avoir distillé l’information au compte-gouttes, voilà que Banksy nous sort un teaser vidéo de 5 minutes. De quoi nous garder en haleine jusqu’à la sortie du film!

Visiblement, il semblerait que le film porte plus sur Terry Guetta, le réalisateur, que sur Bansky lui-même:

The film is the story of what happens when his guy tried to make a documentary about me but he was a lot more interesting than I am, so the film is now kinda about him.

Je ne sais toujours pas précisément en quoi consiste le film, mais c’est pas grave, je suis déjà affolé à l’idée de le voir. Notez qu’on voit passer quelques grosses célébrités du street-art, dont Space Invaders, un de mes favoris!

Mme Jacqueline, l’adorable grand-mère geek!

xMonkeyMosherx — Thu, 11 Feb 2010 20:09:55 +0000

J’ai découvert récemment un spot pour Vidéotron (merci Oliv) et je dois avouer que j’ai craqué directement:

Mais le plus fabuleux est que l’histoire ne s’arrête pas là! L’équipe de Bombe.tv a retrouvé Mme Jacqueline, la petite grand-mère, et a décidé de lui faire visiter les locaux d’Ubisoft. Je ne sais pas si le tout est scénarisé ou si cette petite mémé est vraiment aussi geek qu’on le voit dans la vidéo. Mais ce qui est sûr c’est qu’elle cartonne :)

On la retrouve finalement dans une dernière séquence, au naturel. Alors buzz ou réalité? Aucune idée, mais je suis fan de cette petite madame!
