1 Resist The Northwest Grand Jury

September 13, 2012
by stinkbot
· News

As most of you know, activists in the North West, and in California’s bay are facing political repression in the form of grand juries. Most of these folks have decided to resist the grand jury, stating that they invoke their 5th amendment right to remain silent because they feel the grand jury is seeking information designed to infringe or chill on their rights and the movement in general. A number of people have already gone before the grand jury with mixed outcomes; some have been excused, and unfortunately a couple resisters have been re-subpoenaed to appear before the grand jury at a later date.

0 Respect for the Dead (Live Life!)– Josh Mosh

With the 10 year celebration of 911 coming up it would have been easy for me to dive into an essay on the what really happened on 911. I will admit I am a “truther”…I’ll leave it at that. If you want to have some conversation on that topic or related issues I am game. clusterfuxjosh@msn.com

But then I read the article that I provided the link to below and of course I had an opinion…

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/09/04/911-memorial-treated-like_n_1855559.html

Respect for the dead…Do I have respect for the dead? I suppose I respect life more than I consciously respect the dead. The dead are…well, they are dead. I respect the lives and memories of some who died. I respect my Grandma and the memories I have of her, her life and our times together. I respect the achievements of many who have passed…

0 Backwoods Chili and Biscuits

I love this time of year! There is so much food available 50 feet from our front door, making meals convenient, cheaper and tastier. There’s something about knowing how your food was grown every step of the way, from tilling in compost through harvesting. Here’s a chili recipe that came mostly from our garden(marked with an *). Enjoy!

Black Bean Chili

2 cups black beans* boiled

1 TBSP olive oil

1 medium yellow onion*, minced

2 large cloves garlic*, minced

1 medium pepperoncini*, chopped

4 Thai hot peppers*, chopped

1 green bell pepper*, chopped

1 3″x3″ square of tempeh, cut into 1/4″ cubes

1/2 TBSP ground cumin

1 tsp ground corriander

2 tsp ground paprika

1 tsp fresh oregano* chopped

2 tsp dried oregano

20 assorted tomatoes ranging from cherry* to large heirloom*, roughly chopped

1 small yellow squash*, chopped

1/4 cup zucchini*,grated

1 ear of corn*, kernels cut off

sea salt and pepper to taste

Boil the black beans in about 6 cups of water until just tender, 45minutes to an hour depending on your bean. While the beans are cooking, heat up olive oil in a separate large pot. Saute the onion for a few minutes until they start to become tender. Add garlic and saute for another minute. Then stir in hot and green peppers and tempeh, mixing thoroughly. At this point, mix in cumin, coriander and paprika, coating everything. Turn the heat up slightly, stir in tomatoes and cover pot, cooking for about 20 minutes. The beans should be ready a this point. Add beans, yellow squash, zucchini and corn, cover and simmer over low heat for an hour. Adjust the flavor with salt and pepper and serve. We chose to serve over oat/corn waffles (see photo), but the recipe wasn’t stellar so I’m not including it. A cornmeal waffle would be perfect, so maybe I’ll post one at a later date. In the meantime, try biscuits!

Quick and Simple Biscuits

preheat oven to 350F

2 cups unbleached flour

1 TBSP non aluminum baking soda

1 1/2 tsp sea salt

1/3 cup olive oil

2/3 non-dairy milk

1 tsp lemon juice or apple cider vinegar

Stir together milk, oil and lemon juice or vinegar, set aside to curdle. Sift flour baking powder and salt together, then add curdled mixture to the dry ingredients. Mix into doughy ball and then kneed for a few minutes adding more flour if it’s too sticky. Divide into six equal balls and press flat onto baking tray and bake for 20 minutes.

0 BLOWBACK – Greed Runs the Clock 7″

September 7, 2012
by harleytexas
· Reviews

BLOWBACK………holy hell!!!!!!! What a release! This has to be one of the best releases of the year, one that will get played to death and makes me want more than just the four songs on here. Great clear production on here, but that goes to figure when the post-production was handled by Don Fury mixing (Agnostic Front, Quicksand) and Don Zientara working the boards (Bad Brains, Fugazi). You can’t go wrong with this one with songs that deal with trying to have a smoke break at work and getting treated like crap (Smoke Break), and the rant against mindless consumerism on “Cassandra’s Lament” with great spoken word over some great punk rock. This combines the best parts of good old punk rock and old school hardcore before it became too metallic. The vocals remind me at times of Lee Ving from Fear, but also have their one feel to them. This is on green/gold splatter vinyl and comes with a download card, so you don’t have to wear out your vinyl. I couldn’t recommend this more. (Rick E)

0 I FAIL – Highways CD EP

September 7, 2012
by harleytexas
· Reviews

I FAIL is from Cincinnati, Ohio, and has put out a five song e.p. that has a lot of raw power in the songs, but the songs tend to be a little long in the tooth at times. From a short minute and a half, to almost six minutes long, they could have condensed some of the slower parts and just raged. The production is pretty clear, giving everything space to be heard, with the vocals being a bit screamo at times, but still retaing enough hardcore anger to make you take a listen more than once. This came in a foldout sleeve with a lyric sheetI did think that this was a more screamo version of late period Black Flag in parts, and some of the lyrics seem to be a bit Republican/Christian to me, but still a pretty good e.p. from a band that if they tightened up the songs a bit, could be interesting to hear where they go from here. This is out on compact disc, 10″ vinyl, and cassette. (Rick E)

0 SHORT CHANGED – We Will Bury You LP

September 7, 2012
by thrashpunx
· PE Web Zine · Reviews

I’ve been a fan of this band for a while and looking at their discography I think I own all of their stuff! I’ve never seen them live but I have met just about everyone in the band through different trips to the Haz Mat. But with that said this is might be my first introduction to their new vocalist, Hekka Bekka. Hekka Bekka adds and interesting and new dynamic to the fold. Although the previous vocalist sometimes sounded like Jake from FILTH I think I like Hekka’s vocals better. She can sound nasty and crusty when she wants or just pissed and punk when that’s what the song calls for. Either way, she always sounds powerful and in command. SHORT CHANGED play Bay Area Hardcore Punk, that really describes them well, I mean they capture the spirit well. They play fast and punk, sometimes with a metal edge and always with a stinky, sticky crusty undertone. They sound like the scum stuck covering your shoes after a night of pitting it up at the Haz Matt. It’s dirty, filthy, punk rock. To sum it up they are punk as fuck! There is so much energy on this record and if I haven’t said it already this is by far their best release. Everyone in the band has really started to get comfortable behind their instruments and are simply kicking ass. I mean holy shit! They do a kick ass, tight as shit, cover of SEPULTURA’s ‘Refuse/Resist and fucking nail it, guitar solo and all!!!! Fuck yea! The song ‘Punx with an X’ is re-worked version of an earlier song called ‘X Marks the Spot’…I think…At least they have major similarities!! The cover art is awesome and certainly worthy of mention. Metal Matt seems to be the genius behind that. Also of note is that this was recorded by the late Jeff Leppard (RIP). It’s also great to see another killer release on the Rodent Popsicle label, Bill has been at it forever and certainly deserves some credit for keeping it DIY, he is truly one of the “Tru Punx”! Great effort from a great band. (Josh Mosh)

0 CRASS Ten Notes on a Summer’s Day – The Swansong digital download

August 26, 2012
by backwoodsvegan
· Reviews

I’m a big fan of bands releasing things digitally, in order to reduce packaging, save on fuel and cut down on pollution all together, but in this case, I wouldn’t mind the hard copy since, in true CRASS fashion, this release comes with a specially designed fold out poster and illustrated booklet. Their visual art has always been as interesting to me as their music. That said, you either love them or hate them. When I was a youngster they had a huge impact on my political view and I was completely sucked in to the world I believed they lived in. Yep, I became a total “Crasshole”. Whatever, better that than crack, yeah? I think I’ve actually encountered more punks that find them annoying than actually like them. Fortunately my wife loves them as much as I do. Anyway, This was recorded between the Winter of 1984 and Summer 1985, giving it more in common sonically with Yes Sir, I Will than earlier and rowdier releases like Feeding of the 5000 and Stations of the Crass. Tack two appears to be an instrumental version of the over ten minute first track. It’s a nice bit of insight into the construction of the sound collage. These two versions of Ten Notes on a Summer’s Day are followed by four short songs that cold almost be outtakes, but are free standing audio art bits. Another solid release by a band that has always been good for a controversy. (Jake)
