United Nations, Geoff Rickly, Thursday, power violence, Marshall McLuhan
^ Geoff Rickly's guest blog for Headbanger's Ball, talking about the lack of a call for revolution in today's music. Name drops some bands you might enjoy. "In the years since, we’ve been given bands that retain the sound and image of our counterculture but forget the politics and leave out the distasteful bits of reality. If Milemarker and Q and Not U put some dance into modern punk, it wasn’t so that they would be replicated sans-politics by third rate impostors being blasted in every Urban Outfitters or American Apparel. There has been a domino effect: Political punk gets more accessible, accessible punk gets less political, punk becomes completely apolitical and irrelevant. The tiger has been declawed and we’re all wasting time in our twenties pretending not to care about anything but ourselves."

Well it is MTV, what do you expect? But that's not really important, nor the reason I posted the link to begin with.
