Fuck art, let's fart.
A true punk vet would be easily ashamed to look at the punk records in my collection, and would probably only grin with mild satisfaction when discovering "Raw Power" by The Stooges - I'd then hold the album religiously, and tell this is one of the few records I'd be willing to fuck to in its entirety, a 34 minute feast orchestrated by Piggy Pop and his Stooges truly at their rawest that practically guarantees a fantastic, night-long seeing to. Carefree, sexy and never taking itself too seriously is the key here, it says: I like to be the boss, but I am not afraid to let others drive my gorgeous, sleek machine at angst fuelled speeds. Punk fuck right = pure catharsis and that's exactly what effective cultural heritances are made of.
Sweet - ballroom blitz
The Organ - brother
The Sex Pistols - submission
Raw power - we shall overcome
The Cramps - human fly
Cockney Rejects - east end
Peaches - Keine Melodien (Jeans team)
Riton - Killing an arab (the cure)
Linkup: If you're looking for some raw, noisy and primitive sounds head yourself to 7inchpunk or postpunkjunk, the later has some brilliant mixtapes in form of podcasts and the former shares some very hard to find 7" punk, grind and nardcore releases that are for the most part hit or miss but nevertheless you may always bump into some punk gems such as brygada kryzyz or the shit lickers that are worth the constant visit.
Now, fuck off.

gracias por no hacer una obvia lista punk,
me gustó el sonido podrido de cockney rejects y la onda medio psicodélica de the cramps

todos son actos muy conocidos, creo... the cramps son maravillosos y los cockney rejects son de la vertiente punk "british oi" que es algo asi como el punk de la clase trabajadora inglesa. Por los demas los stooges e Iggy pop me fascinan y son el unico grupo punk junto con the clash que creo valen la pena de coronilla a puntilla, aunque la verdad el punk es uno de los generos en los que menos divago y decir cosas como esas ocasionarian mi linchamiento inmediato.

Estoy de acuerdo con angeles - es un listo bueno. Pero, a decir verdad, "punk" es muerto. Lo siento. Gozo de estar desagradable. Normalmente no escribo estos tipos de herejías en Español, solo en Inglés.

Asi es, kate: "punk is dead". As you may observe I'm not a casual punk listener, I do have a bunch of decent songs that have caught my ear throughout time that certainly don't sound as coming from a true punk fan as I stated before, but where punk fans listen to it because they like it or just because they love to riot, I listen to it once in a while because I find too much consolation in self-destruction.
The point is punk is dead, and I enjoy gazing at its maggotty guts.

It is impossible not to smash against walls listening to this...

Punk never die. It'll just fade out until somebody resurected it.
The basic premise is too interesting. (FU world and everything in it...bang bang bang...)

If punk isn't dead the I got robbed when I purchased that old VHS snuff tape depicting some other genre's death.
Well, if we choose the classical definition of punk, as the musical and cultural antithesis of the social norm, then certainly punk is still living only with a different name.

Great great list, Moka. Got to say the Organ snuck up on me from left-of-center, but it all fits, dammit!
My compadres and I have a new blog up and running, inspired in part by the genius of this here blog:
