The rise of capitalism itself depended on state coercion. English landed gentry pushed the people off the commons so the land could be used for commodity agriculture. Because they "owned" nothing themselves, commoners had no choice but to sell their labor to the owners of the means of production....

I have a weak jawline too, but I'm nowhere as evil as Thomas Friedman.

I think there is some kind of demon that lives in his neck fat and talks through him. It gives him power. So, despite saying horribly stupid things, misunderstanding all things political and economic, and being horribly mean...

Wearing all black against a black background with huge 80's Grace Jones shoulder pads so that your fat Depped head appears to be attempting to free itself from a patch of dark matter? That's...OK.

I've loved their music since the first EP came out (so maybe I'm a late comer in that sense). But this shit they're saying tells me they have never gone beyond a sort of typical Orange County populism. It's not unheard of for people to mistake anarchism for Right Wing Libertarianism. Having read ...

And...if there were no copying in music, music itself would cease to exist. Music is largely an aural tradition passed down by ear. Some of the best results occur when musicians copy each other.

These copyright issues are just one more example of how organizing our society around profits based on...

As George Lipsitz puts it, business realized that “labor peace could be won only by restraining the rank and file and by strengthening the institutional power of trade unions. The Taft-Hartley law attempted to achieve both of those objectives.”

So good I watched it twice!

Someone mentioned wanting to see Medved's old sneak previews shows. Apparently he was a controlling monster who ran the show into the ground but secured conservative funding to keep it afloat despite its fall in quality from the Siskel and Ebert days. The source of funding meant that the reviews ...

To know that you have to know the sound of one hand clapping.

I saw them in the 80s and I remembered them doing this cover. It's actually what got my attention at first. So glad to see this posted here! Thanks.

I love the Mortals. Great vocals. Great garage psych instrumentation.

Letting his hair down in the intro cost him dearly. He had to give 354 blowjobs later that night. I respect that he is a man of his word.

This is a different Cringer period than the photo. Gardner wrote and sang this song. Dave and Ed were not in the band at this point. Good song!

Two Hawaii scene 80's guys, Dave Carr (guitar and vox), and Rob Cribley (drums) and our friend Alex Duboce (bass) playing music in San Francisco-1992. This song was written with Poi Dog Pondering's kick ass "Jack Ass Ginger" in mind. Morgan's Corner and Jack Ass Ginger are both famous places in H...

Pink Plastic Muu Muu featured 2 guys from Hawaii--Gardner Pope (Cringer, J-Church), and Dave Carr (The Vacuum, The Wrong, Cringer), and a guy from St. Louis--Tim Gallaher (Film maker/performance artist, Waldo the Dog Faced Boy) and a guy from L.A.--Tom Grimley (Waldo, Poop Alley Studios, experime...

Can you point me to the television propaganda that criticizes the Iranian government for being capitalist? Are internationalist revolutionaries supposed to see the Fundamentalist regime in Iran, the one that crushed the working class, liquidated the left, operates a police state, and...
