Album Armor
Based on St. George and the Dragon, artist Ted Riederer creates a suit of armor built from punk rock records of 1986 and a wall of skulls from the top 100 of 1986. We follow this work for a year from a studio in Queens to a Gallery Show in San Francisco and finally a solo show in Berlin.

The Art Pack ~ Meets modern new people
A project envisaged and curated by Jean-François Sanz (head of cultural projects agnès b.)
Between the late 70s and mid-80s in France, a prolific and chaotic music scene that combined the energy of rock-n-roll, punk nihilism and electronic experimentation.
A kind of hope and frenzied vitality could also be detected during these years. A breed
of modernist utopia, which was sometimes wilfully ironic, fed them both. A whole segment of, they were nonetheless resistant to the post-Hippie utopias of the previous generation. In search of an identity, they recognised themselves in the dark lyrics, the
cold synthetic music and the laid-back attitude of the new groups hatching all over the country, as much in the provinces as in Paris.
With the benefit of thirty years’ hindsight, the “Mödern Young People” project reactivates this post-punk/novo diskö/French new & cold wave scene, through an exhibition, a book, an audio compilation, and a documentary film. One of the project’s ambitions is to highlight a cross-section of the specific creative diversity of this scene. It does so by engaging with the music produced by this scene, but also with the aesthetics and the attitudes.

Cultucide song is part of an illegal art exhibit
Interesting article about Culturcide and, more importantly, a discussion board that clears up some of the urban music myths about this wonderfully experimental cult punk band....jump in and set the record straight, no pun intended. Or don't.
When the rest of the world danced into happy post punk disco, chemically induced and carefree. Culturcide assaulted tradition, tried new things, wore unusual trousers and proved that an experimental punk band from Houston was not to be taken lightly.
I had coffee with one of the lads this morning, and at no point did he attempt to bite me. They are generallly agreeable fellows and many own their own homes.

Russ Bestley, punk historian
"The punk movement between 1976-84 represented a distinctive period in the development of youth culture in Britain. Whilst certain principles paralleled earlier generations and youth movements, they were married to an outspoken ideology that declared ‘anyone can do it’ and an overtly nihilistic attitude toward the music industry itself."

Philly: Black Lips @Johnny Brenda's 3/14
Though barely in their 20s, the Black Lips have already toured the US and Europe several times, released two albums on Bomp! records, lost a lead guitarist in a car crash, built a rabid cult following and earned a well deserved reputation one of the wildest live bands around due to onstage fist fights, nudity, violence, arson, projectile vomiting and other body fluids.
