    Louder Than War is marking the first anniversary of the loss of Poly Styrene with a tribute from John Robb : Not only have we been robbed of a great talent but also of personal friend whose phone calls would cover everything from music, punk rock, spirituality, Hare Krishna, politics and life with the perceptive smarts that were ingrained in her wonderful lyrics and songs. -- Visit No Rock & Roll Fun to comment, complain and kvetch

  • Grammys '12 Aftershocks: Big Audience, Littl ..
    We may have mentioned this before (hint: we have ), but it bears repeating: The 54th Annual Grammy Awards broadcast last night was one for the books on so many levels. What couldn't be controlled as well as the three-and-a-half-hour CBS broadcast, however, was the fallout. Here are three things that happened as a result of last night's event, with a little SPIN perspective: Firstly, the ratings. America felt the same way we did about the importance of the night in the wake of Whitney Houston's sudden death : The 2012 broadcast saw a viewership of a whopping 39 ...

  • We need to talk about '11: May
    May is Eurovision month . 1Xtra got jumpy about the use of Palastine in a live mix. It took Tegan And Sara to point out that Tyler The Creator is actually a tiresome jock . Not that they got thanked for it. Bob Dylan insisted that preapproval and censorship are different things . MTV pulled anti-abortion ads and hoped nobody would notice they'd been running them a year before. After the killing of Osama Bin Laden, the world's first thought was: What does Nelly Furtado make of all this ? Apart from those who looked instead to Mel B for leadership. When ...

    Publiqué este artículo en Diagonal hace muchos meses. Se me olvidó copiarlo aquí en su día y lo hago ahora por dos motivos: para fingir que este blog no está muerto y para recuperarme del susto que me ha dado ver a Palmolive luciendo su faceta cristiana en Españoles por el mundo (28:40). Chicas que crean, se rebelan y deciden Entre la reinvención de la masculinidad femenina de Patti Smith a la rubia sin un pelo de tonta de Blondie, Debbie Harry, se esconden mujeres atípicas del Punk, que como Ari Up se enunciaron, con autonomía, inclasificables.

  • Boy George Remembers Poly Styrene...
    Boy George for the Guardian : Poly Styrene and X-Ray Spex had a slightly highbrow take on punk and took it beyond the burn-it-down-and-spit-on-it mantra. For me, the punk ladies always had the edge – Poly and X-Ray Spex, Ari Up with the Slits, Siouxsie and the Banshees and Pauline Murray from Penetration. I would stalk Poly Styrene during my lunch breaks when I worked on the King’s Road… Read and comment. From thedailyswarm.com.
