The Wild

I apologize for the long hiatus loyal Punkcast listeners. I don't have any ETA on when I'll be back. I finish law school in very late April though, so I'm hoping some time after that I can get back in the swing of things.

The first thing I need to do is go back through the Music Manumit catalog and see if there is anything I need to re-release. I doubt there is. If there was, I probably would have thought to do it like I am doing now.

Anyway, enjoy this interview with Witt from folk punk band The Wild!

Punkcast 013 - Summer 2013 Interview Series: Louis Lingg and the Bombs

I did a little better on show notes this time.

Dogmazic.net is cool!
Jamendo is Luxemborg, not French.
Jamendo has been unfriendly and banning people.

What does "punk" mean to you?
Punk rock is political. ALWAYS. Politics is similar

Crass! Josh grew up in England. Thatcher is dead!

Last time we spoke, things were bad. Are things better in France?
Government has changed. Now there is a socialist government. That's the only thing that has changed! Still hunting down immigrants.

No human value.

French socialism!
France cannot welcome all the misery of the world. People that say that are idiots!

Immigrants make new innovations! That's why America used to be great.

Fascism is there to say "it's all the immigrants fault."

What are your touring plans?
Always doing crazy concerts.
They played in an old mineshaft with insane anarchist squatters in the suburbs of Paris. A lot of luck with the band. Enough room for 200 people in the cave.

Played in Berlin recently and got to see squats.

Playing Paris all the time. Playing a new squat, aka "Jew Town".

Brittany is just green.

Acoustic shows all the time. New acoustic recordings coming soon. Getting better at acoustic shows.

Police have decibel meters and such bars down. Basically, music is illegal.


Some of your stuff is under BY-SA and some is under -NC, why is that?

Just trying stuff out.

With AF Music (http://www.af-music.de/en/bands/) which started releasing under CC ~6 years ago.
Not to be confused with AF Records (http://www.a-frecords.com/) or the Air Force (http://www.afmusic.org/)


What are some of your favorite CC punk artists?Pete Vyler





If you want to know more, check out the interview Tom and I did with Josh last year. I've also played several of their tracks in the past on the Punkcast.

Punkcast 012 - Summer 2013 Interview Series: David Rovics

 mp3 audio | ogg audio | torrent | unedited video

This summer, I plan on doing interviews every other week with punk artists of various types from all over the world. David Rovics is American, but is currently touring in Scotland. He sat down with me for 20 minutes or so talk to punk music, politics and more. I couldn't really take notes like I normally do when Tom and I do shows together. The plus side of doing these summer shows is that I have ultimate flexibility with scheduling. The down side is that show notes are either not going to happen or will require going back and reconstructing them.

I'd also like to apologize to David for taking so long to get this out. I was traveling last week and managed to get sick while doing so.

Music Manumit Punkcast - 011 - Experimental Punk?

It's been way too long, so I thought we should have a quickie. Er... Well, you know what I mean, right?

I probably wouldn't be sharing this particular track except that it comes from an album entitled "Experiments in Punk Pedagogy / Live at The New School" and I thought it might engender some discussion.

So, is it punk?

PS: This is a subscriber exclusive. Since it's just a single track and the track is already on archive.org, I didn't bother iterating on archive.org. Rare release, just for you. ;)

Music Manumit Punkcast - 010

In the spirit of being as random as possible in dispensing with remixable Creative Commons punk goodness, I have another show for you today!!!!

mp3 audio | ogg audio | flac audio

This time, the unifying theme is my banshee plays. I use my phone sometimes and I have had other computers in the past and don't port over my plays, so this is a reasonable approximation of the tracks from the past year, but won't line up with Last.fm exactly.

I did a similar thing on the main show, where there are no genre limitations (and a different list of previously played tunes)

1. "Punknews is Stoked" by O Pioneers! (orgcore) - CC BY-NC-SA - Website
2. "Politic It's Shit" by Femau (trashcore) - CC BY-NC-SA - Website
3. "Hell Is Other People" by Imperial Leather (hardcore) - CC BY-NC-SA - Website
4. "Workout Pt. 2" by Indiana Jones (hardcore) - CC BY-NC-SA - Website
5. "Madonna is a Corporate Whore" by Louis Lingg and The Bombs (punk) - CC BY-NC-SA - Website
6. "Built to Fail, Motherfucker" by The Arrogant Sons of Bitches (punk) - CC BY-NC-SA - Website
7. "Whatever Song" by Eat Well Earl (instrumental punk) - CC BY-NC-SA - Website
8. "Strings and Webs" by Wages of Fear (punk) - CC BY-NC-SA - Website

Music Manumit Punkcast - 009

This show is dedicated to Morten "Fucking-Long-Name".

For this show I decided to go first through my Top 500 All-Time Last.fm tracks and pick the first 6 punk tracks I haven't played on the show that are remixable.

116. "Class War" by Gråsuggorna (punk) - CC BY-NC-SA - Website

130. "75" by De Fuckups (punk) - CC BY-NC-SA - Website*

305. "On The Run" by Gråsuggorna (punk) - CC BY-NC-SA - Website

342. "You and Me" by Shearer (orgcore) - CC BY-NC-SA - Website

*Actually, I could have played more De Fuckups, but I didn't want them to take over the show. 

I didn't have enough in my Top 500 (without playing more De Fuckups), so this last two are from the Last Year list. Yes, these are both from the same band, so why discriminate against De Fuckups? I don't know. I guess I've just listened to them too much and am a bit tired of them at the moment. Also, their website appears to be down at the moment.

Music Manumit Punkcast 008

Technically speaking, the re-post of Louis Lingg and The Bombs was the 7th show...I just failed to make it 007. What a huge fail. I hope so sweet tunes will make it up to you, even if it is just a repeat of my tracks from the latest Music Manumit show.
