The Art Of Punk (II) - Crass
"On the next installment of The Art of Punk, we tear into the art of Crass. From the assaulting black and white photo-realistic paintings of protest, anarchy, and social satire, to their legendary adopted brand and two headed snake and cross symbol. We head up to the Anarchist Book Fair in San Francisco to meet up with Gee Vaucher, and founding Crass member, writer, and activist, Penny Rimbaud. We discuss the art and the lifestyle stemming from the infamous Dial House, where they have lived, worked, and crated their own brand of anarchistic beauty, for more than 3 decades. We have a sit down with artist Scott Campbell, at his own New York tattoo shop, and talk about how the art of Crass, and one single t-shirt created a fork in his own road of life. Owen Thornton talks some shit. Finally we hang out with British graphic designer Dave King - the creator of the infamous snake and cross symbol, and discuss post war England, hippies, punk, graphic design, and more, that led him to the creation of the symbol made legend by Crass."
♪♫ Beanfield - Charles (1995)
Beanfield is a duo of German musician/producers allied with the groove label Compost Records. The two members are Jan Krause and Michael Mettke. The group resides among a generation of dance acts like Faze Action, Fila Brazillia, and A Forest Mighty Black who balance their status in the electronic community by producing organic sounds, inspired by earthy ’70s sounds from funk to latin and Brazilian jazz to disco.
Beanfield formed around keyboard player Tobias Meggle, who left the group after the second album, and bassist Jan Krause (formerly with the acid jazz unit Poets of Rhythm), along with Compost label boss Michael Reinboth. All three played heavy parts in the recording and production of the first few Compost records (circa 1995) by A Forest Mighty Black, Knowtoryus, and Fauna Flash. Beanfield’s first single, 1995’s “Charles”, earned heavy rotation on Gilles Peterson’s BBC radio show and gained airplay in the world’s more laid-back clubs. The band released their self-titled debut album in 1997, followed by two volumes in a series of remix EPs. Earning even more praise from DJs and critics, Human Patterns followed in 1999. The latest album “Seek” was released in 2004. (wikipedia)

A Short Film About Cassettes (You Need to Hear This)
Though the advent of CD and MP3 inevitably replaced its significance,
the last few years have seen the cassette tape make an unexpected
comeback. In the first of three short films, 'You Need To Hear This'
celebrate its invention by meeting up with Jen Long, founder of
cassette-only record label Kissability, and Brian Shimkovitz, DJ and
founder of blog Awesome Tapes From Africa, to explore what drives their
enduring love for the cassette tape.
♪♫ Rolling Stones - Pay Your Dues (1968)
Rolling Stones - Pay Your Dues (Necrophilia Unreleased Album 1972)
(Olympic Sound Studios, London, March 17-April 3 1968)
The original version of Street Fighting Man.
Chief to scorn his friends make love to his relations
He beats his wife and makes her life A total wet vacation
Now did everybody pay their dues? Now did end up with tribal blues? All the braves and squaws and the maids and the whores, did everybody pay their dues?
He's the tribal chief his name is called disorder.
His flesh and blood he tears it up And actually fries his mama
Now did everybody pay their dues? Now did any of them try to refuse?
All the braves and squaw and the maids and the whores, did everybody pay their dues?
See all the children know he's lying, What's all the fuss? To be grown up is to be good at dying
Now did everybody pay their dues? Now did any of them try to refuse?
All the braves and squaw and the maids and the whores, Did everybody pay their dues?
The Art of Punk (I) - Black Flag
On the first episode of "The Art of Punk" we dissect the art of the legendary Black Flag. From the iconic four bars symbols, to the many coveted and collected gig flyers, singles, and band t-shirts, all depicting the distinctive Indian ink drawn image and text by artist Raymond Pettibon. We start off in Los Angeles talking to two founding members singer Keith Morris, and bass player Chuck Dukowski, about what the scene was like in 1976 - setting the stage for the band's formation, as well as the bands name, and the creation of the iconic four bars symbol. Raymond Pettibon talks with us from his New York art studio. Back in LA we meet with Flea, from the Red Hot Chili Peppers, about how the art, the music, and that early LA scene impacted his own life and career. To wrap it all up we sit and talk at length, with Henry Rollins, at MOCA Grand Ave in Los Angeles, about all of the above and more.
Created, directed, and Executive Produced by writer/author of 'Fucked Up + Photocopied', Bryan Ray Turcotte (Kill Your Idols), and Bo Bushnell (The Western Empire), The Art Of Punk traces the roots of the punk movement and the artists behind the iconic logos of punk bands such as: Black Flag (Raymond Pettibon), The Dead Kennedys (Winston Smith), and Crass (Dave King).
In addition to profiling the artists, the series includes intimate interviews with former band members, notable artists, and celebrities who have been heavily influenced by the art of punk rock including Jello Biafra, Tim Biskup, Scott Campbell, Chuck Dukowski, Flea, Steve Olson, Penny Rimbaud, Henry Rollins, Owen Thornton, and Gee Vaucher.
The filmmakers Bryan Ray Turcotte and Bo Bushnell take a unique approach to exploring the rich histories of these three seminal punk legends by focusing on the influential imagery and seeking out stories that have not been told yet through the artwork, which is integral to the importance and influence of each band.
On June 11, 2013 The Art Of Punk debuts on MOCAtv with an episode on Raymond Pettibon and the artwork of Black Flag. The stories behind the art of the Dead Kennedys will debut on June 18, and June 25 will see the release of the Crass episode, all of which will be available at:
