GG Allin Manifesto

1 Comment


The wise words of the messiah…..

GG Allin Mission Statement

If you believe in the real underground of Rock ‘N’ Roll, then now is the time to do something about it. The time is now to overthrow the current situations and declare war on the record companies, radio stations, publications, clubs, and anyone who promotes the whole so called “scene” as it now stands. We need to destroy it all and take it back from the corporate phonies and conformist. But action must be taken now and blood must be spilled.

First let me tell you who I am. I was born Jesus Christ Allin in 1956 in Lancaster, NH. The Jesus Christ they preach about in the Bible is a phony imposter – just a crutch for the cripples to lean on. Fuck that weak shit! I am the man to deal with. I created myself inside the womb from the fires of Hell. There are no separations between Jesus Christ, God and the Devil, because I am all of theme. I am here to take Rock ‘N’ Roll back & prove to the world that I am the real king through the powers I have acquired.

When I was born in 1956, Rock ‘N’ Roll first started taking off. Why do you think that was? Because I created it. I created Elvis. I made it all happen. Even before I was born I was plotting. But through the years everyone has let it all go. That’s why I am ready to take it all back. Nobody has held on. Nobody has had the indurence to finish what they were set out to fucking do. They all let me down or I took their lives for a purpose. I was the one who was throwing all the monkey wrenches into the gears. But money and commercialism made them all sell out. Even Iggy let me down. The Sex Pistols let me down. Sid let me down when he fell in love (that’s why they are all dead). And now we have the Ramones praising bands like Guns N’ Roses, which runs against everything they were set out to destroy.

But now it’s 1991. This is the decade for the final bloody mutilation. Time to get Rock ‘N’ Roll out of the hands of the masses and back to the people who will not accept comfort or conformity at any cost. Then I will commit suicide on stage and the blood of Rock ‘N’ Roll will become the poison of the Universe forever. Take a look around and see what’s happening. Spineless record companies kissing the mainstreams ass, being pressured by the money media and politicians. So called cutting edge radio stations as fucking lame as the stations they oppose. Censorship publications kisssing the monkey suits asses, who in turn, are kissing someone else’s ass. Even so called “underground” publications have no fucking desire to get blood on their hands. They are too busy crying about how we can make the world a more wonderful place and how politically correct they can be. Talk is fucking cheap.

It’s time to fight. It’s time for revenge. We need to overthrow Rock ‘N’ Roll as it now stands. We must bring down record companies by not buying their products. A boycot. If you have to have a record, steal it. That way they wont get your money. We’ve got to stop feeding them. Your support must now go to me – GG Allin, the commanding leader and terrorist of Rock ‘N’ Roll. Why do you think I am in prison right now? Because they know who I am and they fear my reality. Our society wants to stop my mission. They want to brain wash you and keep you locked into MTV, and their stagnating, safe worlds. It’s a plot to kill Rock ‘N’ Roll. I am the savior. Thats why I am considered a threat to society.

This is what you should do:
Go to your record store and buy all the GG ALLIN recordings you can find. If they dont have any in stock, tell them to order some. If they refuse, then do what you have to do. Call radio stations and demand GG Allin. Spray paint “GG ALLIN” everywhere. Make them aware that the disease and the Scumfuc tradition is still spreading. Write “GG ALLIN” on all your dollar bills. Any bills you have. People do not throw money away, so it would be a free way to get the message out. You must do it every day of your life. We must live for the Rock ‘N’ Roll underground. It CAN be dark and dangerous again. It CAN be threatning to our society as it was meant to be. IT MUST BE UNCOMPROMISING. And with me as your leader, it will happen. I am ready to lead you, my allies, into the real Rock ‘N’ Roll underground. Let’s get started.

Too bad, you died GG ahha ohh well. Gonzo indeed!

“Beatles: Rock Band” Will Kick Ass

2 Comments

That sound you hear is me, Chris, Ramsden, and all the other Beatles fan boys having an orgasm after reading this article.

GILES MARTIN WAS conjuring spirits, or perhaps summoning gods. The tools for this ritual included a pair of omnidirectional microphones, a digital mixing console and a hastily-procured set of teacups and saucers, but the magic was in the room itself. Studio Two at Abbey Road in London has changed very little since 1969, when Paul McCartney, John Lennon, Ringo Starr and George Harrison recorded together for the last time. The Steinway upright McCartney played on “Lady Madonna” still stands in one corner, its middle keys worn to the wood. Sound-absorbing quilts hang in wide stripes down the whitewashed brick walls. The view from the control room on the second level is much as it would have been for George Martin, Giles’s father, who oversaw the creation of nearly every Beatles album from this room. Giles held a slender finger to his lips, which turned up into a playful grin. He handed cups and saucers to three people nearby and mimed a sip. The others followed his lead, and a few feet away the microphones captured the small clattering sound of four people drinking tea.

The odd recording session in March was one very small contribution to what Apple Corps — the company still controlled by McCartney, Starr and the widows of Lennon and Harrison — hopes will be the most deeply immersive way ever of experiencing the music and the mythology of the Beatles. The band that upended the cultural landscape of the 1960s is now hitching its legacy to the medium of a new generation: the video game.

Living Thing Doesn’t Die

The immortal jellyfish as described on Wikipedia:

Jellyfish usually die after propagating; however, the Turritopsis nutricula has developed the ability to return to a polyp state. This is done through a cell change in the external screen (exumbrella). The cells revert to a different state. The medusa is transformed into a stolon and the polyps into a hydroid colony.[3] The umbrella turns inside out; middle section and tentacles are reabsorbed before the polyp spawns. Stolons form two days before the polyps differentiate.[3] The ability to reverse the life cycle is probably unique in the animal kingdom, and allows the jellyfish to bypass death, rendering the Turritopsis nutricula biologically immortal. Lab tests showed that 100% of specimens reverted to the polyp stage.

SAVE YOUR SOUL!!!

Leave a comment

The Almighty Defenders will save your soul with their highly anticipated, upcoming, self-titled debut this November. Imeem.com has written the perfect description of the band:

In a world of Segways and wraparounds, some would say that all hope is lost. When Ipod DJ’s get 3 x the money of most rock’n’roll bands, you could say if there is hell below – we’re all gonna go. Alas! SALVATION IS FINALLY HERE!!! The Black Lips have teamed up with their long-time brothers King Khan & BBQ to offer 11 spirituals that are sure to shave the hairs right off your tongue.

This self-titled album was written, recorded and mixed in one week following the Black Lips rude expulsion from India. They flew directly into King Khan’s legendary Moon Studios in Berlin where he and Mark Sultan were cooking up their own new album. It was both bands’ first major collaboration since a US tour 4 years earlier. It could be argued that this isn’t a ‘gospel’ record in the traditional sense, sure. But this is a record of pure spirituals from six wise magicians. This isn’t a tribute to a ‘god’, but a testimony to good taste – a church of the mind brimming with soul. How such demonic dudes can sound so angelic, I have yet to comprehend, but they somehow manage to bring the true spirit of gospel and make it as raw and beatific as the likes of the Velvet Underground. Exactly how two of the most respected and influential rock’n’roll bands of this decade would do it up.

Imagine the Rev. Charlie Jackson drinkin’ Robo at a Factory party with Alastair Crowley doing security. Timeless and true – an amazing testimonial to 5% who can bridge the gaps and do something original. The Almighty Defenders are here to show you the Holy Way is the spirit that lies in the gutter of your mind. 11 songs, including a Mighty Hannibal cover! Hallelujah!!!

Chris

Glen’s Note: A new song has popped up on the web. It’s “Cone of Light,” the fourth song off Almighty Defenders (September 22) and it’s good. Listen/download: http://downloads.pitchforkmedia.com/Almighty%20Defenders%20-%20Cone%20Of%20Light.mp3

Book Review: Love All The People

Leave a comment


Full Title: Love All The People: The Essential Bill Hicks aka Letters, Lyrics, Routines
Author: Bill Hicks
Year: 2004
Foreword “The Goat Boy Rises” By: John Lahr
Being one of the biggest Bill Hicks fans in the world it was a must that I read this work of incendiary material. With that being said if any of you, fellow readers aren’t little Goat Boy children aka Die Hard Hicks fanatics, I would not recommend reading it. Most of the book consists of word for word transcripts of his classic stand up routines, including, but not limited to: Dangerous CD, One Night Stand HBO Special, Relentless CD, “The Worst Show Ever”aka The Flying Saucer Tour Volume One CD, Revelations Channel 4 UK Special, Arizona Bay CD, and the Rant in E-Minor CD. Interviews, lyrics to Hicks penned tunes, poems, rants or brief manifestos, short stories, letters and response letters to David Letterman, Jay Leno, offended audience members (including priests), amongst other rare gems. I really enjoyed the short stories because they showcased even more of my hero’s talent. In some of these stories Bill appeared and then in others it was completely fiction. I particularly enjoyed a story in which he documents the day-to-day lives of writers for an underground newspaper known as, The Observer. The overall, recurring theme of the book is Bill’s humanistic, though misanthropic at times, approach to comedy and especially to life. Bill takes us on a journey through his mind in which he opines his deepest feelings on the evils of the world: Dogmatic, fear inducing religions (particularly Christianity), corrupt, War profiteering, Governments, Corporate shilling, Coke hawking, pop sell outs, and ignorant, flag waving, conforming Americans. It is rare in entertainment and even rarer in the comedy world, to see someone that threatens the status quo with a message and mission outside of making money and gaining some cheap chuckles. Honestly, how many comedians can you name whose mission is to evolve the human race? Maybe a few others. In conclusion,I, as most do, prefer comedy routines and Hicks in particular on videos (especially!) or on CDs, rather then in print, but I always enjoy learning more about Hicks and his philosophies and laughing my ass off simultaneously.
Grade: B+

P.S. There is one intriguing essay in which he proposes gun control, as Hicks fans should know he completely championed. Being, against gun control myself, I always wanted him to elaborate more on his stance rather then a few jabs about American violence and the NRA, which were hilarious of course. So, anyway, Hicks makes the point that if guns weren’t as easily available as they are there would be less violence in America. Well, whether that is true or not to me doesn’t matter because it violates a basic concept of freedom, it evens violates Hicksian logic! Ok, if you apply Hicks’ logic on drugs, which I completely agree with: people should be able to put whatever they want in their bodies as long as they don’t harm anyone else. So, if drugs were available to the public, there is a good chance that there would be in an increase in drug use (initially) and if you took his logic on guns and applied it here by banning drugs then there wouldn’t be as many people on drugs or dying from drugs. Now, even a novice in drug war knowledge could tell you that’s ludicrous.
