Fuck the Australian RIAA?

Frenzal Rhomb's Lindsay McDougall was asked to appear in a video which he was told, would represent the lives of working and touring musicians. However, later he discovered the video was part of a propaganda piece developed by the music industry to show to school children to discourage file sharing.




McDougall was outraged by the misrepresentation, saying:


I was lumped in with this witch hunt [and] completely taken out of context and defamed. I have never come out against internet piracy and illegal downloading and I wouldn't do that - I would never put my name to something that is against downloading and is against piracy and stuff, it's something that I believe is a personal thing from artist to artist.




I would never be part of this big record industry funded campaign to crush illegal downloads, I'm not like [Metallica drummer] Lars Ulrich. I think it's bullshit, I think it's record companies crying poor and I don't agree with it. I don't think i'm going to sue anyone but I would say that already this morning people's opinion of me has been lowered," McDougall said.




I'm from a punk rock band, it's all about getting your music out any way you can - you don't make money from the record, the record companies make the money from the record. If they can't make money these days because they haven't come onside with the way the world is going, it's their own problem.








the makers of the film deny it all, of course. you decide http://www.in-tune.com.au/

my take - first 3rd of the movie is getting close to the characters; understanding that they're just working hard, ordinary people in a 24/7 job which "isn't really like the rockstar lifestyle" at all. The second 3rd starts with Lindsay talking about how the internet is massive and then it cuts straight to other bands talking about bad money, not making enough, internet sales, and associated problems/challenges. it's pretty subliminal bullshit. the third 3rd is about the future using key words like hoping for "growth" and how "hard" it will be. fuck you Australia.

Cashis - The leak

Cashis - The Leak

Here's another freebee from Shady Records hardest artist Cashis. Not his best but watch out for him because he is a beast. He has recorded up to 800 songs for his debut so these are some more throw aways. You go to love musicians who put in their work.

G-unit - Elephant in the Sand

G-Unit Elephant in the Sand

Here's the second in a series of 3 free mixtapes brought to you by thisis50.com. After one listen this one is much better than vol. 1 so expect vol. 3 to blow your nuts off. Features lots of Young Buck and the new Unit has more emphasis on group dynamics, especially when it comes to the choruses.

Fat Joe's new cd "Elephant in the room" is projected to sell 50,000 cds it's first week. This mixtape got 75,000 - 200,000 download in its first day...

The RIAA has grossed hundreds of millions of dollars from lawsuit, $270 million from Napster alone. How much has gone to the artists - None

“Support the independent labels, but the big ones –fuck’em. Anyways, I haven’t found anything in many years which come from a large label worth buying” Jello Biafra said recently outside of the country.

You don't need to be a community college graduate to realize that 50 Cent is a smart man. Well after 25 editions of the G-unit Radio mixtape series here comes the first thisis50.com mixtape, and it was given away for free. I don't think the G-unit Radio tapes were suppose to be free.... but that's what happens when you release all your material. This is the new generation model of the music industry.

Sid Vicious - Live @ Max's Kansas City NY 1978

I was a little surprised to see that someone managed to rerere-release "Sid Sings" so it's time to kill this blond bitch once and for good. Taken from 2 nights in NY, and you got to love the guy closet to the mic....

Frenzal Rhomb - Forever Malcolm Young

Sadly this wasn't released in America so I guess this is void of any RIAA lawsuits... we'll see. But Frenzal Rhomb does it again. They manage to intermingle fast hardcord punk with thriple-tracked harmonies and melodies of potty humor. it's great. Somehow they managed to play faster than their previous album so grab this if you got the time.

New Free Pennywise CD

Pennywise typically sells between 60,000 and 100,000 albums and now their 9th cd will be available through MySpace. On March 25, 2008 users must simply add promotional partner "Textango" as a friend.

Guitarist Fletcher Dragge added:
We know that this will piss off a lot of people in the music industry and what do we say to that? 'Who cares?' We've been pissing people off for 18 years. Why stop now? We have been telling people to get our records by any mean necessary for 17 years. As a band, we decided that it was time to come to terms with the facts. There are a lot of people out there who want their music for free, so we got proactive and with the help of MySpace Records and Textango we found away to make it happen...we couldn't be more stoked…

G-Unit and Fat Wreck Chords

Well the year is about to come to an end and returning home to the states reminds me of how wrong it is that a jew like myself must stress over x-mas. That's what you get for dating xtians I guess. So first off I bring you the Fat Wreck Hanuk-Comp. Punk Rock Comps are amazing; this one not so much BUT there are some goodies and it's free so shut the fuck up.

And also today will include rap's equivalent the ever so amazing mixtape.

From torrentfreak.com:

Q: “How are G-Unit Records doing in these times of file-sharing?

“Not so good….The advances in technology impacts everyone, and we all
must adapt. Most of all hip-hop, a style of music dependent upon a youthful
audience. This market consists of individuals embracing innovations faster
than the fans of classical and jazz music.”

“What is important for the music industry to understand is that this really doesn’t hurt the artists.”

“A young fan may bejust as devout and dedicated no matter if he bought it or stole it.”

“The concerts are crowded and the industry must understand
that they have to manage all the 360 degrees around an artist. They, (the
industry), have to maximize their income from concerts
and merchandise. It is the only way they can get their marketing money back.”

“The main problem is that the artists are not getting as much
help developing as before file-sharing. They are now learning to peddle
ringtones, not records.They don’t understand the value of a perfect piece of art.

Anyways, here:

Fat Wreck Chords - Hanuk-Comp

Be sure to check out the acoustic Joey Cape song, he plays harmonica and it's not that bad. Also Rise Against does a cover of Minor Threat's "Minor Threat" which is true.

Canada > The United States

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police have announced that they no longer plan on prosecuting people who download copyrighted songs for their own personal use.

According to a statement from the federal police agency:

"Piracy for personal use is no longer targeted. It is too easy to copy these days and we do not know how to stop it."

Of course, copyright infringement remains a civil offense, and so organizations like the Canadian Recording Industry Association (CRIA) is still able to bring suits against individuals but this is a small step towards the future.

Finally you can take pride in shitting yourself!

Usually I like to update with albums of music. Something you can put on and escape with. no skipping around, no bullshit. Well this month is a specially month. I'm going to Amsterdam in a couple of weeks so as far as the rest of the world is concerned, I don't give a shit.

With the recent passing of Halloween and the candy bowl getting smaller this month we'll see a DVD, and a hard one to find at that. I had to download bittorrent just to get this shit. shitty shit. so here it is, .avi in a direct link. NO BIT TORRENT!

GG Allin and The Murder Junkies - Hated DVD

http://www.upload8.com/en/file/775/Hated---GG-Allin---The-Murder-Junkies--Documentary---1994--avi.html

I guess I have to sell this one good since it is such a big download. Well here we go:

GG Allin was punk. His shows would usually last about 20 minutes until it got shut down by police. brawls occured, blood drawn, and shit thrown. now when I say GG threw shit I'm being literal. He'd take a shit, grab it, and rub it on himself and maybe others.

GG's real name is Jesus. His father use to beat him, his brother, and their mother as well as verbally abusing them and psychologically taunting them. He'd dig 3 holes in the basement and threaten them that he would bury them under the house.

Anyways,, fast forward and we got a punker who pushes the boundaries to an unthinkable degree. He was jailed about 30 times. He also claimed he would commit suicide on stage during halloween but every halloween that came he found himself in jail before November 1st. He took a shit load of drugs and laxiatives before a show and you'd never know what to expect. A GG show was bizarre to say the least.

Sadly his death wasn't nearly as spectacular as his shows. He died of an overdose in a friend's apartment. But his life was reflected at his funeral. By request his body was not washed or prepared for his open casket ceremony. Embalming fluid leaked from the casket, his corpse was bloody and there was piss and shit leaking into the casket. His body was bloated and he wore a leather jacket, studs, and some underwear that read "eat me" on the crotch. By his side were newspaper articles of his shows, some of his music coming through some headphones and a bottle of jim bean.

Those who attended partyed like Jesus would have wanted. They put drugs into GG's mouth and drank his booze. Some took pictures of themselves with his corpse while others pulled down his jockstrap to fondle his junk one last time.

This guy was one sick fuck. he sang, if that's what it can be called. But he was probably the last great performance artist. and frankly his shows scare the shit out of me. Some are highlighted in this dvd, like the drunken spoken word where he beats a girl and throws chairs while drunken rambling and getting undressed in the process. Or for his birthday the gift of swolling piss. For those who would rather be exposed to what the PMRC doesn't even want to acknowledge this is for you.

my favorite GG Allin song - "Suck my ass it smells"

Agree to Disagree

This is a big world and instead of conformity to 1 single mood I thought it'd be great if we embrassed our difference just for a moment. so snuggle up close to the speakers and open your heart to these cheerful tunes.

Sum 41 - Underclass Hero

http://link-protector.com/240480/

Canadians. Apparently if you're a Canadian artist and get popular in America you're a bit blacklisted on Canadian radio. harsh. anyways this band is borderline punk, not really but the outfit work. and the globs of processing on the vocals at least make it polished to perfection. i think this is the first cd without the brown guy so not as much rap/metal as you'd think. anyways, the singer was considered for deportation from Canada for mildly insulting Bush Jr. on this record. Canadians are weird.

A Global Threat - Until We Die

http://rapidshare.com/files/43630227/AGT_UWD.zip



This is the best unnoticed cd ever. the best opening band i've ever seen. streetpunk at its finest. i think i've seen them 2 or 3 times now and they've got hutszpah. after the release of their newest cd they spent almost a whole 2 years on tour! incredible. they have an amazing sound, amazing speed, attitude, loudness, the whole shabang. i guess they'd be considered a hardcore band but these Bostonians make me proud once again of stupid haircuts. if you enjoy this deffinitely check out their latest disk, Where The Sun Never Sets,. another classic.

Lloyd Banks - Hunger For More

http://rapidshare.com/files/19152362/Lloyd_Banks-The_Hunger_For_More-2004-_HHKingz.net_.rar

Oh shit. the first track on this cd is so hot it doesn't cool down till the cd is done. smoker, gorilla, and new york "gangsta" rapper Lloyd Banks is a lyrical phenom. flow is incredible, beats ARE INSANE, and this didn't go 4 times platinum for nothing. pump this in your ghetto blasters.

The Skoidats - The Times

http://64.233.179.104/translate_c?hl=en&u=http://www.badongo.com/file/2433644&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dskoidats%2Bmegaupload%26hl%3Den%26rls%3Dcom.microsoft:en-us:IE-SearchBox%26rlz%3D1I7SUNA


Honestly this is the album that got me motivated to start a blog for albums. i found this on some awesome international site and i was impressed. this band is all about beer, beer, and beer but i love their mix of punk and ska and reggae. that's always a great combo but this band makes the played out tricks work. this one is for the ska junkies, i'm bringing back the pogo.

H20 - Go

http://www.megaupload.com/de/?d=16DFCPNP

This came out 2001, according to wikipedia, but i remember listening to this in middle school so i'm going to call malarky on this one. anyways this guys are straight edge and i think from new york as well. something about this band is great though. their would be singles are great and the vocals are pretty unique. maybe the best reason to get this is the hardcore cover of madonnas "like a prayer". i think a global threat is WAY MORE HARDCORE THAN THIS BAND but punk is punk, and fuck what things like wikipedia say.
