Now that we are all informed I shall try and get something up soon… ish. Laters. 

Once again, sorry for not blogging for some friggin’ time now, but I’ve been re-thinking the whole blog thing and how I want to do it now that I know amature blogging does infact work.

I’m currently writing an article about what is a Social Punk and why I chose to go down the route of naming what the hell I do. Which means this site may sway towards the whole music and social line; I will keep the whole personal bit going, but my main focus will be on Punk and the social perceptions I percieve thinking as a Social Punk.

FNV is getting a re-worked as well; once again, it’s deciding how to intergrate it into something, which along side the normal blogging and being it’s own “thang”.

Any ways, keep an eye out!

Oh, I know. Two week and not frigging FNV, well sod you guys! Here!

Green Day - Basket Case

Green Day actually is a day you sit around, fo FA, and smoke pot… the main point is pot. But nowadays, these guys rock the political war ground and fight for Mother Gaia.

I personally don’t like that aspect of Punk where it goes and takes a dig and pop-politics, but before Green Day took this stance, the where about fun and rocking out. They became famous and where critized over the fact they weren’t punk due to their sudden popularity and more polished song styles that came with the album Dookie. This followed with their album Insominiac which took a shot at all those who said they weren’t punk and made the semi-rushed album and more grungy sound you here.

Basket Case really did make their carree though. Before American Idiot came on the scene, this is what they where known for, and it set them up for their lives. You go to their concert and BJ plays the opening cords and sings the opening lyrics, the crowed will go nuts!

Really. I do believe their prime was well before American Idiot, so their two albums I’ll recommend is Dookie and Nimrod.

Ah, a last minute change from what I was gonna do for two reasons. One; I was supposed to see the other guys today but more important things came up. Two; this one is punk! So fuck yeah, and, huzzah for anarchy with all that fun stuff in all…

Bad Religion - American Jesus

Bad Religion are pretty much going to the musical end scale that the Rolling Stones are at… they are all really old now!Formed in 1980 by Greg Graffin (vocals, keyboards), Jay Bentley (bass guitar), Jay Ziskrout (drums), and Brett Gurewitz, also known as “Mr. Brett” (guitar) - Gurewitz is also the owner of one of the biggest Indie record labels, Epitaph Records - was formed as a social commentary about the ills of society. To quote Greg Graffin:

Faith in your partner, your fellow men, your friends, is very important, because without it there’s no mutual component to your relationship, and relationships are important. So faith plays an important role, but faith in people you don’t know, faith in religious or political leaders or even people on stages, people who are popular in the public eye, you shouldn’t have faith in those people. You should listen to what they have to say and use it.

I really like this song as it kind of sticks a middle finger up to the Bible Belt in America, and also to the whole culture America lives in. Also has relevences today as when it was first written, it was aimed towards George H Bush for his whole “Jesus fucking loves us” and now with George W “Dubuwa” Bush saying “Jesus want me to be my baby’s mamma!”

So yes, enjoy this one! But if you want to get an album by them, two choices Process of Belief and also Stranger than Fiction.

A bit late this week and after a few beers, but least I remembered to do it. Well, I am in bed waiting to go in bed and really tired, and it’s officially Saturday, but fuck it!

The Presidents of The USA - Peaches

Possibly one of the most popular songs of its generation, The Presidents of The USA hit something with this single, from a band that The Blue Group try and be as random as.

These guys where one of the first to add really strange lyrics and song meanings to the mainstream of the mid-nineties alternative rock scene. Songs such as “Kitty”, “Lump” and the amazing “Candy” with imagery that makes you want to go out and grab it.

I remember listening to these guys loads when I was younger(that would be almost ten years ago now) and their music just being really awesome, just plain old rock, no mention of love for another woman, just complete randomness!

It has to be said, their self-titled album The Presidents of The United States of America is a must for any record collection containing any sort of rock guitar stuff or punk.
