Jah Wobble has just finished a new album Psychic Life with Julie Campbell (alias Lonelady), which is due out in November. It also sees Wobble reunited with ex-PiL guitarist Keith Levene for the first time since Metal Box. Check out the new Facebook page.
I'm Cock Robin, and somebody stole my name. GOOGLE THEM! I was using Cock Robin for two years when a big mouth friend of mine, kind like YOU, kept shooting his mouth off t2o a guy named Dewy at the DownUnder, and next thing you know, a sissy band debuts at Dewy's DownUnder calling themselves, CR. Oh, well. Just another story about the cheating rock biz. I don't care who you are. YOU DON'T KNOW PUNK! Johnny IS a businessman, and the BEST BUSINESSMAN. Look at all his money, and he has NOT TALENT.
@Phil1stalk I don't know if your statement of "P.I.L. knowing it too, that most of their subsequent stuff is crap or you just stating shit you have no knowledge of..but..a true artist ONLY puts out shit that comes to them thru extreme pain or Ecstasy..the rest is put out by "businessmen" to make money from..like all todays so called music,I refuse to Put John Lydon in that camp..I happened to hang out with Sid and Nancy in Max's Kansas city back in 1978...I KNOW J.L. is not a fraud...
@roamnet Oh, knock it off!! I write songs, t2oo. And I'm not DYING, bro! And, you sure don't know "Johnny". Johnny is ALL businessman ("5 pound for an interview."). He always got PAID, for doing NOTHING! That is the GREATEST businessman. You really don't get the whole PUNK thing or idea, do ya. T2oo bad. It's an important factor as t2o why there is the music. He's not a fraud, but he's NOT a singer either. That's what he's not a fraud about. He's making money and he KNOWS he shouldn't be. Okay.
@Phil1stalk SONGS YOU WRITE?well here you are "flaming" the wrong guy..I happen to be Jimmy Kontra, original lead singer and founding member for Agnostic Front, founding member and lead singer for NYC Virus as well as Bad Brains Roadie in 1979-1981 with John "Bloodclot" Joseph,while I never met John Lydon other then at P.I.L. gig,backstage at The Palladium in NYC in 1980..I was friends with Sid in his days in NYC AS WELL AS cHEETAH cHROME OF THE dEAD bOYS AND OTHER PEOPLE YOU ONLY READ ABOUT
@roamnet--FUCK YOU! You don't know what punk was all about. I stand by that. You don't know what flaming is. You're on some kind of drug, or you're just a nut case. YOU wrote t2o me FIRST. And YOU had all the ATTITUDE about, "I puked wit Sid and Nancy." Yeh, and Cheetah Chrome lived downstairs from me at Whitney Towers in Strongsville, OH, with Stiv, and it doen't mean shit how many times I ran into them. So your bragging rights are moot. I've done Musicals, records and videos, it's all good.
@Phil1stalk OK.. whatever dude, if you give me your name here I'll run a search as to who you are and what you've done..my name is Jimmy Kontra, again, just Google it...since 1977,at age of 15 y.o. I've lived and was a big part of L.E.S NYC punk rock scene until 1986 when I left that environment cause it changed to the same "rock-n-roll" business it was originally supposed to rise up against...
@roamet-Well, now you sound a little more civil, Jim. Nice t2o meet you! I'll look up what you say. I'm sure you had a goodtime. That's all that's important. And you and I are still alive. That's important, t2oo. T2o me, punk didn't mean you were supposed t2o be self-destructive. It meant you could see through all their bullshit brainwashing and SURVIVE in spite of it, not be duped, have a clear eye on reality and fantasy. There's a whole world of people living in a fantasy of record company BS.
@roamnet-- Here's some bands nobody's heard of who do have talent. Enjoy! The Box - Closer Together, Jellyfish - That Is Why, The Mock Turtles - Can You Dig It, Lightening Seeds - Blowing Bubbles (not about Jackson and his monkey), Blue Rodeo - Till I Am Myself. Nice talking t2o ya, Jimmy! :)
@roamnet -- Those bands are all on YouTube with those exact titles worded for search. Have fun. Keep listening t2o, Till I Am Myself. It'll give you some insight when and if you're looking for any. But, CLOSER T2OGETHER, is the ANTHEM for the Human race (you'll see!). :)
@Phil1stalk so don't "fuck you" me here on you tube...dis me face to face if you want to try that..I still live in NYC and will give you a shot to "fuck you" me in person...
@roamet--I'm dis'in you right now. I don't have time for LOSERS! You're like the old dance hall girl who's old and lost her looks and no one wants t2o "dance" with her anymore. She's a BRAGGING DRUNKARD about the good ol' dayz. But nobody wants t2o even listen t2o her. You sound alike. I could write a song about it. There are millions like you! You're not special if you need t2o tell everybody you're special. I never wanted t2o turn out like you, and than god I didn't. Go shoot some more heroin.
@roamnet -- They must be important words, because they were the first 2 words I used when you jumped on my case for your point of view I don't agree with. In fact, I know you're WRONG! Maybe that's YOUR punk, but NOT Johnny's. The whole point was getting PAID for not having any TALENT! A point being, the Stones were crappy no talents that the BRAINWASHED public would pay MILLIONS for more of their crap. And it's an "unlimited supply". Johnny sold out by being the BEST sellout!
@Phil1stalk so..."I don't get the whole punk thing or idea heh?... My Name is Jimmy Kontra... Google it..or read "evolution of the cro-mag" by John Joseph
@roamnet -- It's t2oo bad you weren't in Joy Division. Then you would have killed yourself and I wouldn't have t2o listen t2o you now! But don't give up. There's still time.

One of the best instrumentals. The band outdid themselves with "Metal Box". One of the most fascinating and unique records in Rock history.
