  • SST Defies Industry, Defines New Music
    Page 1 The San Diego Union-Tribune October 1, 1995 Sunday SST Defies Industry, Defines New Music By Daniel de Vise KNIGHT-RIDDER NEWSPAPERS DATELINE: LOS ALAMITOS, CALIF. Ten years ago, when SST Records spun at the creative center of rock music, founder Greg Ginn was living with six other people in a one-room rehearsal studio. SST music was whipping like a sonic cyclone through every college campus in the country. SST bands criss-crossed the nation, luring young people away from arenas and corporate rock like no other force since the dawn of punk. But Greg Ginn had no shower and no car. He lived on a few thousand dollars a year, and relied on public transportation. "The reality is not only different, it's extremely, shockingly different than what people imagine," Ginn said. "We basically had one place where we rehearsed and lived and worked." SST, based in the Los Angeles suburb of Los Alamitos, is the quintessential in- dependent record label. For 17 years it has existed squarely outside the corporate rock industry, releasing music and spoken-word performances by artists who are not much interested in making money. When an SST band grows restless for earnings or for broader success, it simply leaves the label. Founded in 1978 in Hermosa Beach, Calif., SST Records has arguably produced more great rock bands than any other label of its era. Black Flag, fast, loud and socially aware, was probably the world's first hardcore punk band. Sonic Youth, a blend of white noise and pop, is a contender for best alternative-rock band ever.

    THE U'HAUL ADVENTURES COLLECTED COLUMNS 1996 TUESDAY MOR N I NG BY MIKE FALOON W riter Mike Faloon Presents The Choose an Intro S weepstakes ! Greetings, reader. I’ll be damned if I can decide which introduction to use for the The U- Haul Adventures, so I’ll leave the choice to you. Simply select your favorite intro, and inform me of your choice via mail or email. I’ll tally the votes and the most popular introduction will be the one that everyone reads! Tally ho! Mike #1 - For those who like the literary approach: “A prologue is written last but placed first to explain the book's shortcomings and to ask the reader to be kind. But a prologue is also a note of farewell from a writer to his book. For years the writer and his book have been together—friends or bitter enemies but very close as only love and fighting can accomplish. ” —John Steinbeck, Journal o f a Novel #2 - For those who dig the dry details: The U-Haul Adventures could be accurately subtitled “Columns I Wrote for Other Zines That My Friends Never Got to Read, Along with New Stuff I Wrote for Tour.” Last summer I went through the box in which I keep copies of zines I’ve written for. Flipping through the stack I realized that most of my friends never had a chance to read the columns, and never would given that all but one of the zines is now extinct. (Josh Rutledge’s fab Now Wave being the noteworthy exception.) And that’s not right because I often write with my friends in mind.

  • Download a PDF of the Inventory B
    PUBLIC COLLECTORS Records Collection Inventory of: Marc Fischer Chicago, IL, USA About PUBLIC COLLECTORS Public Collectors consists of informal agreements where collectors allow the contents of their collection to be published and permit those who are curious to directly experience the objects in person. Participants must be willing to type up an inventory of their collection, provide a means of contact and share their collection with the public. Collectors can be based in any geographic location. Public Collectors is founded upon the concern that there are many types of cultural artifacts that public libraries, museums and other institutions and archives either do not collect or do not make freely accessible. Public Collectors asks individuals that have had the luxury to amass, organize, and inventory these materials to help reverse this lack by making their collections public. The purpose of this project is for large collections of materials to become accessible so that knowledge, ideas and expertise can be freely shared and exchanged. Public Collectors is not intended, nor should it be used for buying and selling objects. There are many preexisting venues for that. Collectors can accommodate viewers at whatever location is most com - fortable or convenient for them. If their collection is portable or can be viewed in a location other than the collector’s home, this would still be an appropriate way to participate in the project. In addition to hosting collection inventories and other information, www.publiccollectors.org includes digital collections that are suitable for web presentation, do not have a physical material analog, or are difficult or impossible to experience otherwise.

  • Representing Riot Grrrl David Buckingham This Essay Is Part of A
    Real girl power? Representing riot grrrl David Buckingham This essay is part of a larger project, Growing Up Modern: Childhood, Youth and Popular Culture Since 1945. More information about the project, and illustrated versions of all the essays can be found at: https://davidbuckingham.net/growing-up-modern/. It’s now a quarter of a century since the media began announcing the death of riot grrrl. The movement did not last very long – although as is often the case, some people maintain that it has never died, while others claim to detect periodic signs of revival. Certainly, there are few under the age of forty who are likely to have heard of it. Yet arguably, riot grrrl continues to exercise an influence that has been much more lasting than its relatively short life-span would suggest. The thumbnail history would run something like this. Riot grrrl was an explicitly feminist youth movement that emerged from the US post-punk and hardcore scenes. It was born in early 1991 in the small college town of Olympia in Washington State, USA; although it wasn’t named until later that year, when members of two key bands, Bikini Kill and Bratmobile, were staying on a summer break in Washington DC. The movement was consolidated back in Olympia in August of that year when these and other female-only (or female-led) bands played at a ‘girl night’, which opened the International Pop Underground Convention. From these origins, riot grrrl became a national movement, spread both by coverage in the mainstream media and by a proliferation of ‘zines’ published and distributed in informal networks right across the United States, and eventually elsewhere.

  • [St.] Raymond Pettibon[E] : 1978 - 1986 June 16 - September 26, 2008
    specific object / david platzker presents [St.] Raymond Pettibon[e] : 1978 - 1986 June 16 - September 26, 2008 Specific Object / David Platzker is pleased to announce the opening of [St.] Raymond Pettibon[e] : 1978 - 1986. The exhibition will be on view at Specific Object from June 16 though September 26, 2008. Between the years 1978 and 1986 Raymond Pettibon [a.k.a. Raymond Pettibone; St. Pettibone; Chuck Higby; Ray Dylan; Raymond Ginn] produced an aggressive trove of graphic works for the seminal Southern California punk band Black Flag as well as for Red Cross, The Minutemen, Nig Heist, and others. Published predominately by SST Records -- which was founded by Pettibon's brother and Black Flag guitarist, Greg Ginn -- the exhibition features over two hundred gig flyers, artists' books, album covers, posters, T-shirts, stickers, skateboard decks, and the first five editioned prints by Pettibon. "The flyers were one of the best things about working with SST," recalls the lanky Pettibon at his Redondo Beach studio. "It's more of a general audience when it goes on a telephone pole. It's not something that you can buy in a store or see on TV. You see it at a glance and you can't switch it off." And make no mistake -- some of Pettibon's pen-and-ink drawings are strong enough to make you reach for the off button: Themes include castration, dismemberment, suicide, murder. Working in a style reminiscent of religious tract handouts, Pettibon shows one-shot images of disturbed pockets of humanity that are at times humorous, violent and macabre: A panel with a pair of men fighting with knives is headed with the caption "Your girlfriend called me chicken." A skeleton standing on a stage tells an audience, "Life is a joke" with a caption underneath that says, "This is the punch line." "(My drawings) are violent," Pettibon, 24, admits.

Punk meant rebellion, and this research looks at how the rebellion of the American punk movement during the eighties [1978 to 1992], was aimed at the president Ronald Reagan. Their dissent, however, was not only directed towards Reagan, but the culture that he encompassed.
