This is a painting by Gee Vaucher in 1980, which was produced for a record sleeve for the Crass single Bloody Revolutions. The painting parodies a famous picture of the Sex Pistols with the heads replaced by those of The Queen, The Pope The Statue of Liberty and Margaret Thatcher. The piece is entitled "Who do they think they are fooling? -You?" According to Mark Vallen of www.art-for-a-change.com,...

It's Christmas time (nearly) and quite soon it will be impossible to switch on the radio without being bombarded by the preachy strains of a slightly shambolic Christmas song recorded 25 years ago in an effort to feed the world.
Musically, this is exactly the same as Helen Love’s previous Radio Hits, Shifty Disco Girl, Does Your Heart Go Boom and the Peel favourite Girl About Town. And, like most other Helen Love songs, it mentions The Ramones, discos, beaches, and a story about a boy and girl in love. But Debbie Loves Joey is a culmination of everything that is really quite good about Helen Love’s other songs,...
There was an interesting article in yesterday's Wall Street Journal about Tom Petty: Rock God Or Mere Mortal? "As Tom Petty prepares to release a career-spanning anthology next week, an attempt to determine where he falls in the music pantheon." The basic premise is that though he sold a lot of records, maybe because he was prolific with the pop hook, he just seems to lack the "cool"...

Steve Lillywhite is the man responsible for producing the debut albums by U2 and Dave Matthews Band as well as many of their subsequent million-selling releases. While Bono and Dave have both consistently trusted Steve to fit their visions between the speakers, so have artists as diverse as The Rolling Stones, Peter Gabriel, Johnny Thunders, Ultravox, Guster, She & Him, XTC , Jason Mraz, The Pogues,...
Female-trio Wetdog join the ranks of Vivian Girls and Dum Dum Girls carrying on a tradition that began with bands like Bikini Kill and Sleater-Kinney in the ‘90s. Whether the U.K. ladies would appreciate the Riot Grrrl tag is unknown, but they recently toured with The Slits so we’re in the right ballpark. Certainly they share a similar esthetic: buzz-saw guitars, surf bass-lines, and shouty...
Up on Diamond Hill, the British Second World War pillbox looks like one of Enver Hoxha's frontier bunkers, a dome of pre-stressed concrete with rectangular gun slits, the last remnant of Britain's imperial disaster in Hong Kong, a reminder of that most terrible of Christmas Days in 1941. And here, amid the detritus of that ferocious Japanese victory, Kipling hits it to a T:
(Wenn) Via Telegraph: Daul Kim, a South Korean supermodel who starred in a string of high-profile fashion campaigns, has been found dead at her luxury apartment in Paris. Her death was discovered after she left a series of messages on a website saying she was "lonely" and "depressed". Kim, 20, was a regular on catwalks in New York, Milan and Paris was found hanged in her city center...
Photo by Flickr user Helena P. When watching a concert, there are many thoughts that may pop into one's head. "Oh, this is pretty cool, maybe I'll buy their album." Or, "This is putting me to sleep." When I saw Shonen Knife live at Johnny Brenda's on Monday, the thought that immediately popped into my head was, "I wish I could bake this band in to a cake so I could eat them!"...

Filed under: News , New Music , Exclusive Any album with a title that openly mocks President Obama needs a cover that's equally subversive, and Jello Biafra 's artwork for 'The Audacity of Hype' certainly delivers. The former Dead Kennedys frontman opted for a version of Shepard Fairey's famous "HOPE" picture and replace Obama's image with a demonic version of himself, fangs and horns included...
