Blum Buddies

Ladies and germs, while the song-writing for our upcoming recording continues at an absolutely frenetic pace, stop for a moment if you will, and lend an ear to your pal and mine William Blum, author of Killing Hope, Rogue State and all-around transnational treasure, as he wonders aloud at the world around us.

Have a great day you S.M.F.’s!

ps. to my ears the new record seems like it will resemble a nuclear-powered space-age composite of Potemkin City Limits, Less Talk More Rock, Giant Son’s “Anthology” and a carefully measured dose of Today’s Empires Tomorrow’s Ashes!

Apologies to fans of How to Clean Everything. There is nothing for you this year. Making it 16 years in a row now that you’ve stamped your feet and sniveled and whined and pooped your pants in disappointment. Which is unendingly funny to us. Oh, and by “pants”, i mean those giant nofx shorts from 1992. haha

Dominion Interview – Erin Empey, guitar hero of Canada's best living punk band, The Rebel Spell, moonlights as a journalist. Here, in the soon-to-be prestigious Dominion magazine, she asks Chris such penetrating questions as "when are you playing Vancouver?". Wait, there's more (although i just noticed that my comments about Afghanistan, The Vancouver Olympics and the Stephen Lewis Foundation got left on the cutting room floor. is there no justice?! will i never be heard?!?). Watch for a potential Propagandhi/ Rebel Spell onslaught in Western Canada this fall. (06/12/09 by Jesus H. Chris #)

Fire the Boss – Noami Klein gives a quick round up of recent developments in the world of worker control. As global capitalism shits the bed (as predicted), perhaps it is time to look a little more closely at ways of organizing workplaces. but what do i know, i just work here. (05/20/09 by Jesus H.

At Least Somebody Seems to Ghent it… – Belgian city plans veggie days. (05/12/09 by Jesus H. Chris #)
When the credits finally… – What do Oprah Winfrey, Anthony Robbins and Chris Hannah all have in common? No, it's not that we're all multi-millionaires. Close, though. To find out you'll have to watch the documentary Food Matters, a film by James Coluquhoun and Laurentine ten Bosch, nutritionists turned filmmakers. It's a very interesting look into human health and our food/ medical systems. Keep a keen eye on those credits if you wanna have a good laugh! (04/08/09 by Jesus H. Chris #)
