didnt they call blighty das land ohne musik for about 300 yrs between purcell and the first swell maps album? between those years, english people could listen only to skiffle and muscular xtian hymns

the english banned bagpipes

seems like one military bagpiper got executed and the myth spread

yoshi wada should totally record an album on the site of the battle of culloden tho

We’ll give them toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo, sandals and prayer gear.

Another instance where I just wanna say, fuck you very much organized religion.

reminds me of a zhang huan photograph

saw this yesterday,thought it was p cool

yeah that's a nice thing to do

Surely this is ground zero for a HUGE groundswell of punk rock all over Indonesia and beyond.

yeah - and shaving your head as an act of defiance (see X tattoos at straight-edge gigs etc)

As someone said over on dffd, what will they do with skinhead punks? put wigs on them?

some people have been emailing about it
