Jessica Smith from FRONTLINE says:
In Israel, a vibrant punk scene has emerged in a society
torn apart by the conflict between Israelis and Palestinians. In four
candid video interviews, FRONTLINE/World reporter and filmmaker Liz
Nord talks to the musicians driving the movement. Like other young
Israelis, the punk rockers have been affected personally by the
conflict. They have fought as soldiers and lost friends and fans
killed by suicide bombers. Bands from both ends of the political
spectrum use their music to comment on Israeli society. Others make
music just to have fun. But all of them agree that punk rock
represents freedom.

The gritty streets of Sweden are littered with the burnt
and twisted carcasses of their many gang members, toppled bun carts,
and half-expended tubs of peroxide paste - and now the violence is
spreading to the hospitals, or so they would have us believe. Word is
that youth who think they need prioritized health care are sending
cameraphone picture threats to medical staff. As if nearly-free health
care wasn't enough, now they've got to go and get all pissy because
they aren't first in line. They ought to come over here and get
stabbed - then we can see how much they like waiting in line, filling
out the forms to claim you're a one-legged Hasid lesbian.
Also, this particular internet person pictured may not actually be
a real Swede gang member, but that's not what Google thinks.

Afro-Punk offices burned, donations
sought
Afro-Punk offices burned, donations
sought
09/19/2004 02:08 PM
Xeni Jardin:
The makers of a groundbreaking documentary film exploring racial
identity within the punk scene --
Afro-Punk: the "rock n roll
nigger" experience -- were hit with an unexpected disaster last
week. Friends are reaching out to coordinate donations of space and
gear to help the filmmakers get back on track. From an e-mail sent to
friends and supporters:
On Monday Sept. 13th at around 2pm the
building that houses the afro-punk offices was set on fire.
Apparently, the first floor failing clothing store owner, in an act of
desperation, set a phone book on fire and took a little walk.
Meanwhile Afro-Punk's director James Spooner was two flights up
discussing his upcoming panel on music as a tool for black liberation
with a colleague. "We heard the bell ringing and a lot of screaming
and yelling" says James. The guilty store owner, alerted James and
his friend of the blaze below. Thinking quickly James ran back into
the office unplugged his Mac tower, which houses the documentary and
hobbled down the stairs through the smoke and flames . "Man, maybe it
was stupid, but this film has effected too many people for it to all
end here, let the rest burn, I had to save it!"
Luckily fire fighters acted quickly on the scene and were able to
stabilize the fire. Flames never reached our office but the NYFD
destroyed the place trying to make sure the fire wasn't in the walls
or ceiling.
After the smoke literally cleared they were allowed back up to access
the damage. All in all it could have been worse. The Afro-Punk
computers and camera are still working, the 200 hours of footage
afro-punk was cut from seems to be okay and the work for our next
film is safe. We did lose some furniture, a monitor and some vcrs from
our dubbing station, but most tragic, we lost our donated office
space.
Link to the Afro-Punk website,
link to
paypal donation site, and
e-mail the
group for a list of non-cash donations they're seeking --
including office space, office supplies, and electronic equipment
(VCRs, monitors, CD-Rs, DVD-Rs, and the like). (

one, too!" Link to AC/D-SHE
Boing Boing pal Joey
"Accordion Guy" deVilla says, "I'll see your punk cover band genre
and raise you an alt-rock mash-up cover band. Smash-Up Derby are a
cover band, but their covers are in the form of live-mash-ups. Check
out the MP3s posted on their site, such as Smells Like Billie
Jean, where Nirvana and Michael Jackson collide -- they're quite
good!" Link
Tim Binder says, "This is for your Punk Cover Bands listing, which
seems to be rapidly expanding to list unusual cover bands of any sort.
The Beach Balls are a Philadelphia cover band that does 80s songs in
an operatic/folk style. The link is to a site that has two of their
cover songs, Back In Black (more AC/DC) and Girls on Film. When I
first saw them live, I was just stunned when I realized that the song
I was hearing at the time was The Car's My Best Friend's Girlfriend."
Link
Amardeep Singh
says,
My favorite punk cover band was Schlong. Their one full-length LP was
a drunk-punk version of "West Side Story" called "Punk Side Story,"
complete with fighting sound effects, snippets of dialogue, and
pictures of drunk-looking bay area punk rockers looking at the moon.
They match the soundtrack of "West Side Story" track for track. They
don't have a webpage, but you can find reference to them here
.
And Bruce Heersen says, "Here's yet another AC/DC cover band: Hayseed
Dixie (
link). On their
debut album
A Hillbilly Tribute to AC/DC, they do AC/DC
covers bluegrass-style. They have at least one more album that is
covers of other rock bands. I've seen these guys live, and they are
pretty unbelievable. Really entertaining."
Check out this awesome video for Hayseed Dixie's cover of Mötorhead's punk/metal anthem
"Ace of Spades," edited entirely on a PowerMac G4
laptop. Link
(screenshot shown at top of this post).
Lemmy's inbred cousins
would be proud.
To which BB reader Dario Manzoni sez:
About the bluegrass covers: there is Iron Horse's
"Fade to Bluegrass: The Bluegrass Tribute To Metallica" (Link to samples). I
think they did a nice job capturing Metallica's peculiar sound. And
absolutely worth mentioning (but different kind) are Apocalyptica,
that once released "Plays Metallica by four cellos" (link to full album at low bitrate
for sampling purpose)

Buck the Animatronic Stag
Buck the Animatronic Stag
03/22/2005 05:00 PMDavid Pescovitz:
Buck the Stag puts Big Mouth Billy Bass to shame. Buck is a
remote-controlled faux taxidermy mount with a motion sensor that
triggers his animated renditions of such classics as Sweet Home
Alabama and Suspicious Minds. The big value-add though is that you can
also speak into a wireless mike and your words will come from Buck's
mouth. Yours for the low price of £199.00 from Boys Stuff:
With fur and even a few stray hairs in the right places, Buck
the Stag feels realistic as well as looking it. If you're after a bit
of cruelty-free stately home style, he can provide it – and
let's face it, a talking deer is much more entertaining than a dead
one...
