Hüsker Dü’s Land Speed Record came out January 17, 1982. Here are the first six songs from it, going by in a blur.

Mind-boggling. Bar-setting. Whatever. Fucking hardcore.

turbine: Two brief ideas for the publishing industry

steampoweredmedia:

1. If I buy a full-price hard-cover book, give me the e-book for free. I don’t mean some super-snazzy, illustration-rich multimedia experience. I just want the book in electronic format. The system works well on me when I’m buying records. I bought 1000 Hertz on vinyl because it came with a cd. I…

All this AND never charge more for an e-book than $10. EVER. Come on.

Of course, this means as the consuming public, we should stop paying for e-books that are over $10.

The Last Best Words for the Machines

“For when the last best words have been said for the machine it has no marvel comparable to the marvel of the human hand guided by the human mind.”

— The Woodworker, Chips from the Chisel, 1937, page 255

NYCeophyte: Are You The Someone To Spread The Word About Modest Needs?

nyceophyte:

As I announced yesterday on this here long-stagnant blog, I am moving back to The Promised Land San Francisco in December. In making this decision, I also had to make the decision to leave my job at Modest Needs Foundation.

That was not an easy decision.

Brittney is leaving her job at at Modest Needs writing and doing outreach/social media. Maybe you’re the right person to take it over.

Here’s the job post.

Really Red was one of the best punk bands in Texas. One of the best punk bands, period. Like all punk bands that pre-dated hardcore, they were much more than fast songs and screaming. They used jazz, spoken word, and other more artsy elements in their songs that hardcore bands just didn’t make time or room for.

Which is not to say they ignored hardcore. These guys kicked ass live. Their shows could stomp any hardcore band into the ground. This particular song was fucking anthemic live. The singer, Ronnie Bond, absolutely held the audience in his grasp with his presence and the rest of the guys were incredible musicians. Nobody in this band dropped notes, nobody fluffed. And loud. Jesus so loud.
