"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?

I am very pleased to announce that Phil King/@junkshopper's 'Lush: A Far From Home Movie', is now on YouTube for all to see.
I very much enjoyed appearing with Phil last year at various events, at home abroad, discussing the film with him and the audience.

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.
'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’'

"Planning for perfection is a valid strategy— allowing room for the unplanned is crucial, keeps me on my toes. The whole idea of mistakes should not be a sure thing. There is a surety in insecurity that benefits from the role of inaccuracy and what that means."

So cool! Prince *loved* libraries. For example, this is one donation he made from his charity a few days after 9/11 to save the Louisville Free Public Library, the first library in the community to serve African Americans.
