@historyofpunkrock Interesting 'white label' semi-bootleg release of Shane MacGowan's pre-#Pogues band The Nips from 1980. Plain white cardboard cover with a stuck-on b&w insert, in typical #bootleg style. Features the legendary 'King of the Bop' on side one - perhaps the first really cracking song that Shane ever wrote. A cross between #punk and #rockabilly.
I bought this in 'Rock On' in London's Camden Town. Three quid and seventy-five pence, at the time. @vinylrecords

Today in Labor History December 3, 1984: A methyl isocyanate leak from a Union Carbide plant in Bhopal, India, killed over 3,800 people and injured up to 600,000 more. Up to 16,000 people died, in total, over the years following the disaster. The Government of Madhya Pradesh has paid compensation to family members of 3,787 of the victims killed. Numerous local activist groups emerged to support the victims of the disaster, like Rashida Bee and Champa Devi Shukla, who won the Goldman Prize in 2004. Many of the activists were subjected to violent repression by the police and government. Larger international groups, like Greenpeace and Pesticide Action Network also got involved. The disaster has played a role in numerous works of fiction, including Arundhati Roy’s “The Ministry of Utmost Happiness” (2017) and Indra Sinha’s “Animal’s People” (2007). It has also been referenced in music by the Revolting Cocks “Union Carbide” and the Dog Faced Hermans ”Bhopal.”

"Nazi Punks Fuck Off" is the fifth and (for me) most important single by the Dead Kennedys, released in late October/early November 1981 on Alternative Tentacles. The single included a free armband with a crossed-out swastika on it.
Konnichiwa! Folge 9 ist raus- interkontinental, frisch und gekühlt überall da, wo es Podcasts gibt. Den Anfang in unserer Runde macht das deutsche Metal-Urgestein Grave Digger mit „Rheingold“ (2003). Anschließend wird es Post-Punkig, denn wir sprechen über Press Club aus Australien und ihrem 2. Album „Wasted Energy“ (2019). Zu guter Letzt geht es noch nach Japan und den Pop-Punkern Hi-Standard und der Scheibe „ANGRY FIST“ (1997).
Führt euch kohlensäurehaltige Erfrischungsgetränke in den Magen-Darm-Trakt ein und befreit die Lauscher vom Schmutz - Es ist Bier. Punk. Metal. - Zeit!
Certainly not a fan (more like lesser of evils) regarding Meta and Microsoft, but I would like them to take legal action against Musk's new X.
Since high school in the 1980s I have been fan of the Los Angeles based punk band "X" and it would be some kind of wonderful if they could find a way to sue Musk and X the corporation also ;-)
"Punk und #Metal aus dem Globalen Süden finden nach wie vor viel zu wenig Beachtung in den bereits etablierten Szenen im Globalen Norden! Dieser Artikel stellt zwei kenianische Bands vor, die mit ihren Texten aus postkolonialer Perspektive auf Missstände aufmerksam machen und gegen diese rebellieren!"
