"Septic Death was a hardcore punk band fronted by artist Brian "Pushead" Schroeder on vocals. Septic Death's music became a major influence on bands like Integrity, Citizens Arrest, Infest, and many other bands tied to the hardcore punk, thrashcore, crust punk etc. scenes. The band played only a few shows during its active years (1981 to 1986), mostly in Boise, Idaho."
(Pushead's art porfolio is quite something!)
I needed some coins and scored a job with a German company years back, i was shitting myself upon arrival thinking they might be corporate heads, i couldn't of been more wrong! After hitting it off with one of them in particular, i got turned on to a barrel of new music including Septic Death, and a bunch of great Scottish/UK 80's bands i had missed out on somehow, if you like music, check um out.

"Philip Morris Glass[1] (born January 31, 1937) is an American music composer. He is considered to be one of the most influential composers of the late 20th century[2][3][4] and is widely acknowledged as a composer who has brought art music to the public (along with precursors such as Richard Strauss, Kurt Weill and Leonard Bernstein)."(Wikepedia)
If ya ever in a place you don't want to be, and need sleep, this is the shit you need! (Or much of Brian Eno's work)
(Not to sure about the vid though!)
Kurt Weill, is the man behind a track im sure you know from the Doors, or maybe even bowie.

"In any case, it put dollar signs in the eyes of certain publishers always on the lookout for something to grab hold of to churn out another magazine. In the late ‘70s certain publishers, had a field day with punk"(Badmags.com)
I first read Bukowski when i was a postman. I'd heard a fair bit about him, and coincidentally found 'Post Office' in the local book shop, the rest was history as they say! Continued to read loads more of his work in my late teens/early twenties, but never checked this badboy out...
Weird i didn't read it at the time, seeing that a fairly popular band were named after it! (Maybe why haha) this is not them
This is kind of crazy, J Biafra with the Melvins.
I still get freaked out by propaganda coming through my door, wastefull.
Local Skaters (skater?!) work hard!
Attention to detail...Yes mam.
To see such a man walking around regularly...
...makes a day better.
This place is amazing, and scarely becoming busy.

"1978 saw the release of In Search of Anna, a film produced by Esben Storm which tells the story of a newly released convict trying to pull his life together, who returns home to find that his girlfriend, Anna, has vanished. John wrote the theme tune Anna (which was based on Small Hours) and some of the incidental music. Dealer and Certain Surprise also featured in the film along with other music by AC/DC of all people!"

"Chopping was survived by his life partner Dennis Wirth-Miller, a year older than himself. The two were the first couple to register a Civil Partnership in Colchester. They lived in Wivenhoe for over sixty years, and were the founders of an artist community which counted Francis Bacon as a member."(Times)
(Wirth-Miller)
"Richard Wasey Chopping (14 April 1917 – 17 April 2008)[1] was a British illustrator and author best known for painting the dust jackets of Ian Fleming's James Bond novels starting with From Russia, with Love (1957)."(Wikipedia)
"John Deakin was notorious for his brutal, no-holds-barred portraits of bohemian Soho in the 1950s, and this portrait of the artist Francis Bacon is no exception. Taken while Deakin and Bacon shared a cottage in the artists' colony of Wivenhoe Park, Essex, this portrait lays bare even the tiniest physical imperfection without diminishing the power of Bacon's wide-eyed gaze, simultaneously confrontational and anguished. Deakin considered himself a painter first and was neglectful of his own photographs; as a result, most of his surviving work is torn and creased. His reputation, which had languished after his death in 1972, was revived by the V&A's 1984 exhibition 'The Salvage of the Photographer'."(V&A)

Two interesting projects i was eager to here were 'Cats Eyes' and 'Rome'. The Horrors were a british band from Southend in Essex, although emulated by youths all over, and knocked by grey creticts on their debut, there knowledge of music and live energy, made for an interesting first, and a second that far outweighed there years. Faris, thier singer, recently got together with Canadian opera singer Rachel Zeffira for this...
Im yet to check the rest of it out, my first thoughts of this song is very 'Ravonettes', althought some others sound slightly more classically influenced.
Rome, is a project from the brainchild of Danger Mouse, involving such heads as the great Jack White...
Time will tell how these two babies pan out...

"I've always been obsessed with drums. They fascinate me. Any other instrument - nothing. I play acoustic guitar a bit. But it's always been drums first and foremost. I don't reckon on this Jack-of-all-trades thing. I thing that felling is a lot more important than technique. It's all very well doing a triple paradiddle - but who's going to know you've done it? If you play technically you sound like everybody else. It's being original that counts."
I've always been a fan of the Misfits, Samhain and Danzig. Several years ago i was living in London with two people who were animators for Nickelodeon or some shit. One of them, 'Brazil', (he had a name i never leant, but he was Brazilian, so i named him, thought it had a nice ring to it), found out my interest in danzig related stuff, and told me about this project he was in love with...
Many people i have met, who are really into early Misfits etc have never heard of it, so check it out if you haven't already.

Im sure you already know a bit about this, but if you don't, please have a look. Mike Tag, who is, without a shadow of a doubt, one of the most stylish and influential Street riders of all time, is very ill. He made such an impact on me, and everyone who rode that i knew, he has the best nothing a jump had ever seen, and can double peg concrete un-pegable, amongst a whole lot more. I imagine any support would be greatly appreciated...http://www.fbmbmx.com/mike-tag-fund.php

When John Joseph from the Cro-Mags refers this, you gotta know...
"For the soul there is never birth nor death. Nor, having once been, does he ever cease to be. He is unborn, eternal, ever-existing, undying and primeval. He is not slain when the body is slain." Bhagavad-Gita As It Is - Chapter 2 - Text 20
So, all the new prints have been set back for several reasons, but they will be with you fine people soooooooon, so apologes for the delay!
We will be supporting "Les Sessions Volcaniques" out in france this year, so get your self down that way if your French, or even if your not! http://www.sessionlibre.com/sessions-volcaniques/
One of our French Stockists, who will be in attendence at said jam, have added a shop/flow rider in the name of Arnaud Malthieu.
More to come on all aspects of Savakasness asap!!!

"what can we do?
at their best, there is gentleness in Humanity.
some understanding and, at times, acts of
courage
but all in all it is a mass, a glob that doesn't
have too much.
it is like a large animal deep in sleep and
almost nothing can awaken it.
when activated it's best at brutality,
selfishness, unjust judgments, murder.
what can we do with it, this Humanity?
nothing.
avoid the thing as much as possible.
treat it as you would anything poisonous, vicious
and mindless.
but be careful. it has enacted laws to protect
itself from you.
it can kill you without cause.
and to escape it you must be subtle.
few escape.
it's up to you to figure a plan.
I have met nobody who has escaped.
I have met some of the great and
famous but they have not escaped
for they are only great and famous within
Humanity.
I have not escaped
but I have not failed in trying again and
again.
before my death I hope to obtain my
life."
Charles Bukowski

It may of been a long time ago, but i was thinking today how crazy it was that many of the people in this still ride, through there trials and tribulations, have continued to (or gone back to) a BMX. Thanks to Dave King from derelict for uploading it a while back, because copies were scarce.
I also thought about the money/companies involved in BMX today, and i thought of this...A truly remarkable film bout a truly remarkable individual! Go here...
