The Hip Flip Might Come in Handy One Day HE HIP FLIP. I have been obsessed by this crazy 1960s Parker Brothers party game ever since I was presented it by the Student TCouncil President of my high school, Charlie Stone. He said the Hip Flip might come in handy one day. To my amazement it actually did! Twice! First in 1988, I used it as the title of the a gig I put on featuring my all time favourite band, The Gruesomes. And now sixteen years later, for some unexplained reason, I decided to bring back the magic Hip Flip as part of my attempt to document the Great Canadian Election of 2004. How would the leaders of the three major parties in Canada respond to my request to do the Hip Flip with them? Well, flip back your hip and find out right here…. Nardwuar vs. NDP Leader Jack Layton!

  • Roots Radical – Place, Power and Practice in Punk Entrepreneurship Sarah Louise Drakopoulou Dodd*
    Entrepreneurship & Regional Development, 2014 Vol. 26, Nos. 1–2, 165–205, http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/08985626.2013.877986 Roots radical – place, power and practice in punk entrepreneurship Sarah Louise Drakopoulou Dodd* ALBA Graduate Business School, AHEAD, 6-8 Xenias Street, Athens 115 28, Greece (Received 5 February 2013; accepted 16 December 2013) The significance continues to grow of scholarship that embraces critical and contextualized entrepreneurship, seeking rich explorations of diverse entrepre- neurship contexts. Following these influences, this study explores the potentialized context of punk entrepreneurship. The Punk Rock band Rancid has a 20-year history of successfully creating independent musical and related creative enterprises from the margins of the music industry. The study draws on artefacts, interviews and videos created by and around Rancid to identify and analyse this example of marginal, alternative entrepreneurship. A three-part analytic frame was applied to analysing these artefacts. Place is critical to Rancid’s enterprise, grounding the band socially, culturally, geographically and politically. Practice also plays an important role with Rancid’s activities encompassing labour, making music, movement and human interactions. The third, and most prevalent, dimension of alterity is that of power which includes data related to dominance, subordination, exclusion, control and liberation. Rancid’s entrepreneurial story is depicted as cycles, not just a linear journey, but following more complicated paths – from periphery to centre, and back again; returning to roots, whilst trying to move forwards too; grounded in tradition but also radically focused on dramatic change. Paradox, hybridized practices, and the significance of marginal place as a rich resource also emerged from the study.

    IInnarnnardsds Band Slut of the month! Cover Story What is your stage name and where are you based? It’s Blind Marc or Blark. I’m based in Victoria BC. How many musical outfits are you currently whoring around with? Four right now: Betty Ford (Drums), The Shivs (Vocals), Keg Killers (Drums), The Bloody Hells (Drums), Dayglo Abortions (U.S. Tour Drummer). How do you keep all your bands separate? I pretty much separate them by the music style. They’re all punk, but slightly different. The Shivs is more hardcore, while Betty Ford is a street punk thing. Keg Killers is more of a 70’s style rock ‘n’ roll punk. Not too sure about the Bloody Hells yet, since I just joined. How often do you fall off the stage? photo: Laura Murray Well, The Shivs haven’t played a show in lind Marc (Marc Hlady) has become a awhile, so not lately...
