crass is pretty much one of the best bands of all time
just sayin.
|
agreed.
|
I love penis envy.
I have a copy of christ the movie actually, it's insane... |
christ the album my friend, christ the album
|
Yeah, that's the album name, I have christ the movie.
It's this fucked up collage of insane videos crass played in the background at their shows.. |
oh no no i meant i like christ the album
|
ohhh i thought you didn't know what christ the movie was and were correcting me or something haha.
yeah christ the album is amazing. i was briefly in a band called christ the band as a tribute, we did 3 crusty ass songs and broke up. Crass is great. Very underappreciated on this board, maybe underappreciated in general except amongst us tuff punx. |
i agree with you 100 percent.

dirt was also great and flux of pink indians |

i don't really like dirt but flux of pink indians is another great one. |
One of my favorites.
I haven't seen Christ The Movie though. How'd you track it down dude? Also recommended: The Mob, Rubella Ballet. (Well, some RB. Their last album was waaaaay different.) |
crass is one of my favorites undoubtedly. the feeding of the 5000 i still listen to constantly. christ the album is amazing too. great lyrics, great sounds, great ideas, great motto. penny rimbaud is a genius.
|
penis envy is my favorite.
|
I lloovveee Crass.
|
i was listening to christ the album just this morning, was thinking how i haven't listened to it in a while.
yeah, they were great. i don't agree with much of their politics but i really admire their commitment. and speaking of crass records, the zounds were fantastic. |
Quote:
yes zounds were amazing as well. |
I remember (S)way being a big fan. I suppose I'd consider them 'important' rather than 'best'. Not a band I'd listen to much for pleasure.
|
they were one of the better UK punk bands.
|
yeah, the appeal of crass is kind of lost on me, give me discharge or rudimentary peni instead
|
me not likey
|
I have a lot of respect for Crass, and like much of their work. Having said that, dear old Penny Rimbaud can come across as a bit of a humorless old git sometimes...
|
I don't know their music enough but I liked what I've heard. I never got the big deal about their mystique. It's not like they saved the world or anything.

Quote:
white im all about both of these bands neither was as consistant and discharge well, they just became a metal band |

i guess cause they were doing dischord-esq stuff (i mean how the label was being ran) before well, dischord. |
System, system, system.
Death in life. System, system, system. The surgeons knife. System, system, system. Hacking at the cord. System, system, system. A child is born. Poor little fucker, poor little kid, Never asked for life, no she never did. Poor little baby, poor little mite, Crying out for food as her parents fight. Crying out for food as her parents fight. System, system, system. Send him to school. System, system, system. Force him to crawl. System, system, system. Teach him how to cheat. System, system, system. Kick him off his feet. Poor little schoolboy, poor little lad, They'll pat him if he's good and they'll beat him if he's bad. Poor little kiddy, poor little chap, They'll force feed his mind with their useless crap. They'll force feed his mind with their useless crap. System, system, system. They'll teach her how to cook. System, system, system. Teach her how to look. System, system, system. They'll teach her all the tricks, System, system, system. Create another victim for their greasy pricks. Poor little girly, poor little wench, Another little object to prod and pinch. Poor little sweety, poor little filly, They'll fuck her mind so they can fuck her silly. They'll fuck her mind so they can fuck her silly. System, system, system. He's grown to be a man. System, system, system. Taugh to fit the plan. System, system, system. Forty years of jobs. System, system, system. Pushing little buttons, pulling little knobs. Poor fucking worker, poor little serf, Working like a mule for half of what he's worth. Poor fucking grafter, poor little gent, Working for the cash that he's already spent. Working for the cash that he's already spent. He's selling his life, She's his loyal wife, Timid as a mouse, She's got her litlle house, He's got his little car, And they share the cocktail bar She likes to cook his meals, You know, something that appeals. Sometimes he works til late So his supper has to wait, But she doesn't really mind Cos he's getting overtime. He likes to put a bit away Just for that rainy day, Cos every little counts As the cost of living mounts. They do the pools each week Hoping for that lucky break. Then they'd take a trip abroad, Do all the things they can't afford. She'd really like to have a fur, He's like a bigger car. They could buy a bungalow, With a Georgian door for show. He might think of leaving work, But no, he wouldn't like a shirk. He'd much prefer to stay And get his honest days pay. He's got a life of work ahead, There's no rest for the dead. She's tried to make it nice, He's said thankyou once or twice. System, system, system. Deprived of any hope. System, system, system. Taught they couldn't cope. System, system, system. Slaves right from the start. System, system, system. Til death do them part. Poor little fuckers, what a sorry pair, Had their lives stolen, but they didn't really care. Poor little darlings, just your ordinary folks, Victims of the system and it's cruel jokes. Victims of the system and it's cruel jokes. The couple views the wreckage And dreams of home sweet home, They'd almost paid the mortgage, Then the system dropped its bomb. jeffrey lewis album is worth listening to! |
do they owe us a living?
OF COURSE THEY DO OF COURSE THEY DO |
that part in turbonegro's ass cobra with steve ignorant prank call is hilarious.
|
they're about as real as it gets.
|
I'm not sure I'm scene enough to listen to Crass. Ah well... back to my Queen Latifah records I go.
|
so youre saying youre not a crust punk? get the fuck outta here poser
|
Oh....... okay. If you need me I'll be in Topman.
|
crass is/was scene?
|
i'm posting from a xerox machine.
|
i've always found them interesting in their marrying together a sort of sixties counter-culture thing, and punk. Saying that, I've also thought they brought together the most annoying aspects of both: earnestness, dogmatism and an over obsession with that whole gettin' back to basics thing.
|
it's their music i like.
like i said, i may not agree with what they were saying or how they were saying it but i admire their commitment (keeping it indie, tape trading, bullshit detectors, breaking up when they said they would, etc.). |
Looks like R.Peni have a new Lp out from here -
http://www.southern.com/southern/band/RPENI/07019.php Read Penny Rimbauds book a while ago which i think (if i remember rightly) that as a child he entered a quiz and ended meeting the Beatles on a TV show as prize?!,wonder if thats on utube. |
i should pick up that book. i bet it's a good one.
|
It's an intresting read,you can get from here -
www.akpress.org/ and also,did he say Steve Albini might release Exit?.. www.vbs/video.php?id=1364171841 always wanted to hear that one. |
i think they're great, although i agree with mellysingsdoom, rimbaud can be a total pain in the arse.
|
Crass is really fucking great. Most anarcho punk annoys the shit out of me, but I'll never be able to deny Crass.
As far as the whole Crass records scene is concerned, the only band I still give a shit about is Rudimentary Peni. Their first three or four releases are really fucking amazing and really one of the only bands I still listen to consistantly from that time period. Discharge flat out sucks. Disclose does Discharge better than Discharge and thats sad. |
