"After all, the core Black Flag catalog was mostly written and performed by people when they were in their early 20s — the age at which the complex, stymied emotions of hardcore punk often seem to be overflowing."

Black Flag’s Latest Reboot Has Everyone Talking (Even Greg Ginn)

At 71, Ginn has remade his hardcore institution once again — this time with zoomer-aged bandmates. Is it a punk statement or karaoke?

Happy 20th anniversary to the Sony BMG copy protection rootkit scandal, in which the company secretly installed software to hide DRM technology on CD buyers’ PCs. XCP was a security risk that led to public outcry, class action lawsuits, and, 20 years ago today, a recall of dozens of album titles.

Oh wow.. in Japan Patti Smith's album "Horses" was known by the alternate kanji title of MARE.

Make of that what you will.

The Quietus @thequietus.com · 16d

'Perhaps because of her deliberate self-placement within a lineage of male artists like Ginsberg and Rimbaud, Smith's persona was cerebral, ascetic – aligned more closely with a nascent avant-garde literary tradition, or what she called ‘rock poetry’'
