    “Sermon for the Bootlickers”

    Despite the inculcation of helplessness within each there remains great power. Ill at ease with such makes us ill. Learn to see the hand that feeds for what it is. You’ve been fooled if you think you’ve got no power. Refuse to be reduced to a consumer you’re a human being. Define yourself by more than wealth. Define yourself as a human. You don’t need what you’re being sold. Bend your knee to no authority but your own mind. You have the power to avoid the gilded trap. Avarice is what you’re conditioned for. Break the mold discover what’s really valuable to you.

  • STORM OF SEDITION – “Decivilize” LP

    Are you prepared to brave the storm?…

    Brace yourself for one of the most uncompromising hard hitting and politically outspoken records of this era. STORM OF SEDITION are an anti-civilization anarchist crust punk band based out of Victoria BC. Sharing members with the mighty ISKRA you can definitely expect some serious blackened crust, and yes a huge metal influence is prevalent however STORM OF SEDITION are a bit more reminiscent of bands like CONTRAVENE & NAUSEA. “Decivilize” brings a heavy anarcho punk dynamic to the table combined with over the top blackened crust grind thats littered with blistering solo’s, insanely powerful drumbeats, and thought productive lyrics that challenge our current state of human civilization. All in all this is an absolute monster of a release!

    Comes with a 12 page booklet containing lyrics, notes, and song explanations.

    STORM OF SEDITION WILL TOURING THE WEST COAST THIS SUMMER!!! 

    Keep you eye’s peeled for a list of tour dates soon!

    Living a domesticated existence
    Starves people of meaning in their lives
    Everyone feels the void beneath the surface
    Of everyday activities and routines

    Miserable, exploited, mass populations
    Feeding the industrial systems endless hunger
    Treated like machines, living beings
    Enslaved and kept passive in a technological noose

    We live in these cages
    Made of concrete, glass, and steel 
    A functioning human made hell 
    Complete with natural scenery 

    Yet there is no community
    Deprived of connection with real people 
    Technology perpetuates alienation 
    But promises to connect us

    And fill the void in our lives
    In constant need of escape and distraction 
    From this fucking ugly world
    Technology creeping into our lives 

    Pop culture, pacifying shit
    Endless distractions to curb dissent 
    A society of lonely domesticated beings 
    Attempting social interaction behind a digital screen

    Clinging to the feeling of connectedness 
    Personalized profiles, mass communication tools
    Monitored and funded by pigs 
    Spying on people, on movements
    While corporations profit off government control
    Microsoft, apple, fedbook
    Endless lists of corporations
    Infiltrating our everyday lives
    The NSA, the CSE 
    Databases created from what you share
    Information for incrimination 
    Millions of people on terrorist watch lists
    Technology’s a weapon used against us 

    Its function is to propel their ability
    To efficiently exploit us and the natural world 
    While doing so capitalizing off selling us
    Gadgets to distract us from the lives we live and hate 

    Turn off that shit, enter the real world
    You are not connected
    You are alone staring into a fucking a screen

    Get outside, meet with real people!
    Even if we use these tools 
    We must never forget 

    Technology is a system created by and for those in power
    And it will only exist with 
    Division of labor, exploitation, and death

    Becoming connected through technology
    Is a sick fucking joke

    AUS-ROTTEN

    “The System Works For Them” LP

    -FINALLY RE-ISSUED AFTER 20 YEARS!-

    Originally pressed in 1996 PROFANE EXISTENCE is bringing this quintessential anarcho punk masterpiece back in circulation.

    All original artwork (label logos updated) with three different vinyl color options.
    All original artwork (label logos updated) with three different vinyl color options.

    In 1996 AUS-ROTTEN released their first LP “The System Works For Them” on an unsuspecting punk scene. It spread like wildfire in a pre internet era within a genre that mostly depended on tape trading.  (at least is was pre internet for us penniless punks) “The System Works For Them” was the perfect mix of anger and intelligence that the scene needed at the time (and still does today). It was like a wake up call that opened the eyes and ears to many punks the world over. The messages where crystal clear and most us were hooked as soon as the beginning shouts of “Boycott” bellowed over the speakers. I don’t believe any of us ever expected their message to resonate so well within the scene, but even more surprising is how the songs are just as relevant today as on they the day they were written. Which is why PROFANE EXISTENCE has decided to repress this record. We feel that that messages that AUS-ROTTEN brought to the table are to powerful to ignore. We feel that this LP is important and therefore should be highly available and priced affordably.

    “The Battlefield Is Still Red” Bloodsplatter Edition.

     

    PROFANE EXISTENCE has worked out every last detail of this release with the members of AUS-ROTTEN whom have been involved from step one.  All tracks have been re-masted by Jay Matherson at the Jamroom studios. To be 100% honest we didn’t want to do a complete re-master of what we already considered a good recording. However when we opened the tracks on protools we noticed a few balance issues that required fixing. These fixes resulted in a tremendous upgrade to the overall quality of the tracks. We painstakingly scanned, puzzled, and photoshopped the original artwork to make sure that it was as close to authentic as it could possible be. We then went for broke by pressing in three different vinyl color combinations! Overall to say that we are pumped to release this would be an understatement, we are absolutely ecstatic to bring you this LP on PROFANE EXISTENCE!

    To top this all off we worked with AUS-ROTTEN vocalist Dave Trenga on redrawing the classic “What Good Is Money, When There Is No One Left To Buy” design for a T-Shirt to concede with the albums release. This is a fresh take on an old image to create a new and original design.

    The Deafening Sound of Absolutely Nothing LP

    OUT NOW!

    Click here to purchase

    Silence-LP-Jacketpromo-withborder

    Silence are a highly active post-punk/peace-punk band from Pittsburgh, PA. “The Deafening Sound of Absolutely Nothing” strives (and succeeds) to achieve the perfect balance between peace and post punk. By taking influences from The Mob, Bauhaus, Zounds, Killing Joke, Amebix, Crass, Conflict, Internal Autonomy and Joy Division SILENCE have created what can only be described a brilliant debut LP.  At one moment this record is dark, heavy, and atmospheric and then the next moment it makes you want to dance and sing along. Lyrically SILENCE are much closer to the anarcho side of the previously listed influences. Lyrics focus on a variety of topics but often have a strong focus on the way punk and activist communities deal with political struggle in our current political climate.

    image1

    “The Deafening Sound of Absolutely Nothing” comes with a 16 page magazine size zine containing lyrics, personal writings and song explanations. Designed, printed and assembled by the band themselves in true D.I.Y. fashion.

     

    Silence will be having a record release show in their hometown of Pittsburgh PA at the Rock Room Friday April 22nd  with SHADOW AGE and SKELETON HANDS. Then later this month SILENCE will embark on a full United States tour to support “The Deafening Sound of Absolutely Nothing”. Here is a list of dates.

     LISTEN TO THE TRACK “WAR DRUMS” HERE.

    https://profanexistence.files.wordpress.com/2015/10/03-track-03-war-drums.wav

    Lyrics…

    When all that remains is a world in flames. Is that when they’ll say the wars are finally won? That wars are finally done?

    They’re beating on the drums again, they’re fueling up the planes. The congressmen fall into line and sing the old refrain. In the name of peace they’ll burn the land and drop a thousand bombs.

    Meanwhile we’ll just stay at home and go back to our sitcoms. It’s the same old song, we’ve heard it before. They’re beating the drums and they’re calling for war. What it’s supposed to accomplish, no one is sure But the victims are always the hungry and the poor.

    Once the drums of war begin it’s hard to make them stop. The noise silences the dissidents once the bombs begin to drop. All those who call for peace will be mocked and pushed aside. In 10 years they’ll admit we were right after many thousands more have died.

    Finally after many delays from the pressing plant the WARWOUND Demo’s LP “A Huge Black Cloud” is out and copies are moving fast! 

    warwound-cover-Recorded in 1983, this record contains 15 songs from 3 sessions. With a few different takes you get a total of 25 blistering tracks. For those unfamiliar with WARWOUND, they are a UK band formed in 82. WARWOUND recorded 3 demos in 83 before disbanding and members went on to join THE VARUKERS and form SACRILEGE. These demos never received an official release… until now! Highly influenced by DISCHARGE, WARWOUND is one of the first bands ever to take D-Beat Punk to a raw and intense level. Recently reformed in 2015, original guitarist Damian is now joined by Ian Glasper on bass and Rat Varuker on vocals. After a few gigs in the UK word is spreading fast of the relentless onslaught of a live show these veterans put on. WARWOUND have also recently hit the studio to record for the first time in over 30 years. Needless to say WARWOUND is back with a vengeance!

4 Why Coffee Should Cost More

  • January 27, 2016
  • by backwoodsvegan
  • · Crusty Collectivist Cooking Project · Recipes Section

Before you roll your eyes and start mumbling about the fixed gear trust fund hipsters with the big beards, hard parted hair and skinny jeans that frequent the local coffee shop…hear me out. The coffee producers are getting screwed. As I type this, the Coffee C market price(the price at which commodity coffee gets traded) is only $1.17 per pound in it’s green unroasted form. Sure, that might sound like great news for people on the consuming end. Let’s face it, most of us drink coffee every day, sometimes multiple cups a day and we all like to save money where we can, but that savings greatly affects the producers. When you get coffee at the gas station, bodega or brew from a big can at home, that is most likely commodity grade coffee. When you go to a local coffee shop that charges $2-$5 a cup, those places are paying a lot more for the coffee. It’s not that they are just trying to get more of your money to stuff in their pockets, they are also making sure the coffee farmers are making more of a living wage. Think about this: it takes approximately 40 coffee beans to make one cup of coffee. Those beans are picked by hand one at a time(except on large farms in Brazil where some are mechanically picked) since the pickers have to be sure to only pick only ripe coffee cherries and those without noticeable defects. Then they have to be transported in heavy bags on foot or sometimes bicycle to a station to be sorted, processed, dried and bagged for export. Now, if the coffee companies here are only paying $1.17 a pound, how much of that do you think gets back to farmer? Not only do they have to support families, they have to buy fertilizer for the farms, upkeep equipment and whatever else comes along in life. Fair Trade price is only $1.40($1.70 if organic), but models that are more of a direct trade are available that ensure the farmers can earn much more a pound and that’s what the better coffee companies are doing. So next time you go to buy a cup of coffee, consider going to a place that supports a more sustainable business model. If you don’t want to support sweatshop clothing or factory farmed food, why wouldn’t you include coffee in those decisions? Most places will be honest with you about their practices if they aren’t shady. This is why coffee should cost more. This is just a brief summery of what goes on and was something that was on my mind while I drink a mug of Colombian coffee that was more than double the C Market price.I’ve been a coffee roaster for about 7 years now and am always learning more about the politics of coffee. If you folks are interested in reading more about coffee, I’ll keep writing about it.

Cheers!

0 DIY Cold Brew Coffee

  • August 7, 2015
  • by backwoodsvegan
  • · Crusty Collectivist Cooking Project

I figured I should post this while we still have some Summer weather, since so many of us like cold coffee on a hot day, but don’t want to pay ridiculous amounts of cash to do it. You’re probably thinking that it’s as simple as brewing coffee and dropping ice cubes in it. You can do that, but you risk creating a diluted bitter drink. If you want a heavier bodied, sweet cold coffee, try this:

Take a 32oz mason jar and add very coarsely ground coffee half way between the 200-400ml lines. Add cold water almost to the top and give it a vigorous stir, then top it off. Put it aside for roughly 12 hours. At this point, scoop what you can off the top and pour the rest through a filter. The remaining liquid is a cold coffee concentrate that just saved you a bunch of cash and a trip into public.

0 Misozuke – fermented tofu “cheese”

  • I’ve made this once and it was totally delicious and creamy. You’ll definitely need patience for this recipe, but it’s totally worth it! I took the recipe directly from the site http://www.rauom.com/2011/05/24/tofu-misozuke-recipe/
  • I tried half with white miso and half with brown and they were both really good! (Jake)
  • We’ll need sugar, sake, yellow miso, and firm tofu.
  • Wrap a tofu block in 2-3 layers of paper towels & set a dish on top of the tofu block and let it dry out for 1-2 hours.
  • For each half block of tofu, prepare a marinade spread of 1/2 cup of miso, 1 tablespoon each of sake and sugar. Mix well.
  • Wrap tofu in cheesecloth and smear marinade on all sides. How much of the marinade should be used is up to you and your salt preference.
  • Line a storage container with 2-3 layers of paper towels, place tofu block on top, cover and refrigerate.
  • Change paper towels every month (SEE UPDATE BELOW) – the paper towels will become really wet, yet the tofu will not be any dryer because enzymes in the miso are breaking down the soy proteins and generating water. Chemistry!

photoDawn and I recently had a craving for baba ganouj and looked through almost every cookbook on our shelf until we came across our very reliable and underrated copy of The Lowfat Jewish Vegetarian Cookbook. Though it says vegetarian, every recipe is vegan doesn’t rely on meat and cheese substitutes. Anyway, here’s our modified version of their recipe:

1 large eggplant, cut lengthwise 1/2″ thick

olive oil for brushing

sea salt

3 TBSP tahini

3 TBSP lemon juice

3 cloves garlic, crushed

1 TBSP olive oil

1/4 C chopped fresh parsley (optional)

sea salt and pepper to taste

Preheat oven to 350F

Brush eggplant slices with olive oil on both sides, sprinkle with a little salt and place flat on baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes or until tender. Place in food processor and blend until smooth. Use as a dip, spread on sandwiches or just eat wit a spoon if no one is looking.

 

 

 

0 So, the pickle jar is empty…

  • February 17, 2013

  • · Crusty Collectivist Cooking Project · Recipes Section

I know I haven’t posted much lately. Sorry. The East Coast is cold and shitty and we don’t have much in the way of fresh produce right now. I don’t like to post recipes with processed foods, but I might once in a while. Not too much, though. So, many of us like pickles and, unless we drink the leftover pickle juice, it goes down the drain. It can be used in a martini of sorts(if you’re of age), but my favorite use is slaw. Shred two carrots, thinly slice a cup or so of red cabbage and thinly slice one medium onion and place all of it in a bowl. Add a tablespoon of sea salt or pink salt and cover in the leftover juice from your last jar of pickles. Place a plate over top and put a weight on top to keep everything under the juice. Let sit for a day or longer and add slaw to sandwiches or just eat on it’s own!

0 Vegan Tofurkey Melt

vegan melt

I had really been craving a melt lately and figured I’d throw one together. Not only is this sandwich easy to make but it turned out SO GOOD! This will cure your cravings and definitely leave you satisfied.

Ingredients

– Vegan Bacon

– Butter

– Bread

– Tofurkey deli slices

– Tomato

– Thousand island dressing

  1. Prepare preferred vegan bacon on skillet.
  2. As the “bacon” is cooking, prepare the sandwich. Butter outsides of bread then cut slices in half; add the Tofurkey, tomato, Thousand Island dressing, and finally the bacon once it’s done cooking.
  3. Put the sandwich in the skillet and flip once bread is golden brown. Repeat this step with the other side of the sandwich.

I used Tofurkey’s hickory smoked deli slices (brown box), Lightlife Smart Bacon and a multigrain bread for the melt in the picture. Add more veggies to the sandwich or a vegan cheese if you’d like.

In our house we have a tendency to make more food than we are going to use for that meal so that we always have leftovers for lunch, dinner or to take to work and that means we have to get creative sometimes to avoid eating the same thing day after day. This time we had leftover mashed potatoes, so I did this:

Ingredients:

  • Approx 2 cups mashed potatoes
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 TBSP baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1.5 tsp sea salt
  • Half a red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 large jalapeno pepper, diced

After an amazing crop of sunchokes in our garden this year, we are still exploring new ways to use them. Hopefully we find a few we like, because I planted twice as many at the end of the season! Here’s my latest experiment.

Preheat oven to 350F.

Sift together 2 cups flour, 1 TBSP baking powder and 1.5 tsp sea salt. Add 1 cup boiled and mashed sunchokes, 1 TBSP olive oil and 1 TBSP non dairy milk. Mix until dough forms, shape into biscuits and bake for 20 minutes. There you have it. The chokes give the bread an interesting flavor and a potato bread like texture.

1 C earth balance
2T egg replacer
1/2 C water
2 C brown sugar
1T vanilla
3 1/8C flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
5 tsp finely ground espresso

1 bag dairy free chocolate chips

Pre heat oven to 350F. Let the margarine sit out and get a little soft. While that is going on, mix the egg replacer and water together and let sit for about 10 minutes to get nice and thick. Cream together margarine, sugar, egg replacer and vanilla. Add salt and baking soda and espresso and mix thoroughly. Mix in flour. Start with ha little less flour and feel it out. Some flour is tougher to work than others, so you may not need all of it. If you haven’t snacked on all the chips, mix those in. Shape into 2″ balls and flatten out to about half an inch thick and bake for 15-20 minutes depending on how well your oven works. When they come out, give the pan a good smack on the counter. Trust me, it’s good for the texture.

Winter Tagine with Fenugreek and rose: a Moroccan twist on roasted root vegetables. I don’t have a “tagine”, the pot the dish is named after, but I do have a cast iron and you probably do too. The most important part are the spices (“ras el hanout”… google it, for chrissakes).

With a mortar and pestle or another grinder, blend:

1 tsp fenugreek
1 tbs dried rosepetals
various other mix of spices, such as turmeric, coriander, cinnamon (go easy on this) black pepper, nutmeg, chili peppers, anything you might put in an indian curry. you can even use a masala curry powder if you are a cop out. i made this one nutmeggy.

toast in your cast iron skillet on LOW for 5 minutes or until fragrant. add to the pan:

1 block frozen, thawed and drained tofu
1 medium onion
5 garlic cloves, in skin, sliced in half
1/2 cup black or green olives
1 small lemon, sliced, rind and all
assorted root vegetables. whatever fits in the pan and looks good from the dumpster or farmer’s market
as much olive oil as you and comfortable with

Mix together, bake at 350 for about an hour or until everything is cooked and browned! Traditional tagines are a little more stew like but who cares, it’s your world.
