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,...

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,...

It's always a good day for music fans when John Lydon is in the news. Hell, it's a good day for everybody, especially those of us who enjoy wacky stories on the internet. Most of the recent hype concerning the Sex Pistols/Public Image Limited vocalist has been as a result of his appearances on I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!, Judge Judy, and a now-notorious butter commercial. Apparently the...

OK--students in my cultural studies course had a bit of a crisis because half of their presentation group dropped out. They are doing a presentation on the Goth subculture and the two members that dropped out were covering the music. So I offered to help out with an introduction to the roots of the Goth sound (as a non-expert)... here is what I came up with, anyone want to suggest additions? 1970s:...

Rod Stewart says no to a Faces reformation. But a certain ginger soul lothario might yet take his place ... After decades of wavering, Rod Stewart has formally said no to reuniting with the Faces, according to keyboardist Ian McLagan. The group's three other surviving members are now "seriously talking about touring" with other singers, including ... Simply Red's Mick Hucknall. For years,...

One of punk rock's many subgenres (puck rock, if you will), this is a rollicking testament to a rough and tumble life on the ice Were he alive today, Charles Darwin might have had a thing or two to say about punk rock's impressive adaptability. Thanks, perhaps, to its simple formula – take three chords, just add attitude – the genre has found its way into all manner of cultural nooks and...

Annotated as an "outtake"on the 2002 repackage, I can hear nothing here differing significantly from their definitive LP version. The most recent accession, of course, to the Dukedom of Wessex is none other than 'our' Prince Edward; a tiresome brat harboring melodramatic delusions of grandeur. A dribbling imbecile racing from one knockout to the next. No Tad 'behemoth', he. More a sneering...

If you believe the more hysterical newspapers, the quiet-spoken, articulate man I am meeting today in London is the biggest threat to our nation's youth since the Sex Pistols swore TV presenter Bill Grundy into oblivion.

In an interview about his popular butter ads in the U.K., John Lydon claims that the money he made on the butter ads provided him with the funds he needed to relaunch Public Image Ltd., his post-punk band that is going to be on a reunion tour shortly. "Why are they questioning me?" he demanded. "What manual am I supposed to adopt? I'm promoting a British product which I'm very proud...
