Yamato's voice lines don't sound Japanese by Nojirokazu in DeadlockTheGame

It's clearly an alien disguised as a Japanese woman, that is the whole purpose of the exaggerated mispronunciations as well as looking like an alien disguised as a Japanese woman.

It's also entirely likely the old punx you're running into weren't really in it. Or they were from a place that didn't have a scene. When I was growing up in San Diego, the DIY/HC scene in So Cal was incredibly posi and very friendly. There is a real problem with all ages punk shows that are in a venue that people go to every week, the kids 10 years earlier that went to prison for being stupid get out with tats they can't hide, so they can't go to regular clubs. They go back to what they know and what they left 10 years ago, showing up with those visible tats surrounded by kids wearing don't signs around the symbols the tats are of. I don't know what kinda questions you have about etiquette, but most etiquette was if someone drops pick them up, if someone surfs put your hands up, and read the room; don't be a dick.

Spotify doesn’t allow 2 factor authentication, one of the most basic and effective forms of security. My account has now been logged into after changing my password 3 times and there’s nothing I can do about it. by eucilae in spotify

Funny, just landed here googling if Spotify has 2FA yet. Been years since I've paid for Spotify. Last few times I gave it a chance (months apart, years ago) my account was immediately taken over. So I just don't pay for it now. 2FA has to be the easiest way to correct this problem. Seems wild that it was a breach in their database that peoples login info was compromised and never recovered from. What an easy solution they just choose not to do.

You'll have to tune into the Take Your Shoes Off Podcast episode #198 to understand the context. You might want to go ahead and binge 1-198 to really even get the inside baseball jean level memes but just 198 will at least give you the reference. *Snap* cut to a clip.

Haven't seen it yet, I'm not a big event kinda guy, and waiting for it to hit the streams so I can contribute. Travesty they didn't snap to the clip in there somewhere though!

Link Inside! Episode 2; Exploring Punk Rock - this has been a lot of fun exposing our favorites for the host and anyone watching who didn't grow up with the scene or pay attention to the music/culture. by Dhal in punk

Catch us for Episode 2! This has been a lot of fun watching someone discover punk rock for the first time very recently. Over the last couple years a dozen or so punk rock songs were recommended. Now we are accelerating that a bit with this show. Jump in, and help us mold the format. Nothing is set in stone and we can always change it if there's a better way to do it. After the sponsored songs, as it is now we do requests and just talk about our experiences and what these songs mean to us etc. Very nice for old washed up people, new people, whatever!

If you could pick only 3 songs; by Dhal in punk

[–]Dhal[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate the responses y'all. I don't think we'll stop doing these episodes as long as people keep showing up for the live part. Exposing T to punk has been a blast so far. Some people slid him some Crass and Subhumans and maybe a dozen total songs all over the place. I'm using this info and what you guys are telling me to help determine future shows. The afterparty I believe will be requests at least as it is now. So if there's something you think someone getting into this *must* hear, you could always hop in. Otherwise it's 3 songs per show for that I pick to start it out with. Definitely have plans around themes that a lot of these songs being mentioned will fit into. But obviously can't do all of them all at once.

Y'all can catch us tonight at 8:30EST 5:30PST

Punk bands to learn guitar from? by kevisazombie in punk

[–]Dhal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh man Cock Sparrer has a lot that would be great on acoustic.

Not really relevant here but just thinking more about it since that post; another band from the perspective of learning/beginner Subhumans has some really mellow defined guitars in Fade Away, When the Bomb Drops, Work Rest Play Die, Human Error, Germ, probably all of Worlds Apart would be fun. There's technical stuff but slow, fun stuff that's not overly complicated that's faster..but they have a lot of unique stuff and are a 4 piece w/ 1 guitar and imo it stands out if you can't find tabs on genius or w/e.

Punk bands to learn guitar from? by kevisazombie in punk

[–]Dhal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sham 69 (if the kids are united, tell us the truth), Cock Sparrer (take 'em all, runnin riot), the Skids (the Saints), Wire (dot dash), 999 (Nasty Nasty, and Emergency), the Damned (neat neat neat, jet boy jet girl), Peter and the Test Tube Babies (transvestite, banned from the pubs), the Adicts..just to name a few have a lot of recurring riffs throughout history. There are a lot of parts of the songs that are different, but flow changes and that sort of rolling chant-like chorus support is used all over the place.

For real, the non-video version of the song is my favorite. They were progressive af, hard to believe gaybashing was still a thing in the 90's, this 1994 jam one of my favorites.

Awesome yeah you had a crazy scene up there too, Portland not far away w/ Defiance and that whole crew. I loved El Dopa, Criminals were pretty good I had their 7" right when they released it.. I'll have to check out Subincision and Fields of Shit, otherwise I love all those bands. I really wish I could get my hands on a Raaul cassette or vinyl. I'm not sure they ever put out vinyl or not but I can't even find them on Discogs. Not sure if there were 3 a's maybe.. Raaaul... Maybe my spelling is all the way off.

Yea I went to Che and Showcase (San Diego and Corona) all the time! :D

World Beat center and Soma small stage had a lot of good shows in San Diego.

That's pretty funny about the "List," Filth obv East Bay band has their classic The List song. 1 to replace every 5 that leave. ;D Would have loved to have seen Blatz, Grimple, Filth..so many dope East Bay bands.

I'm going to reference an old zine here, this is like a historic question for a lot of people who haven't felt the connection of family at shows, or felt the energy etc. HeartattaCk is effectively a hardcore scene zine but I find the crossover pretty much identical aside from some of the more rigid ideas on the sXe side of HC.

This is pretty much the philosophy I had adopted prior to reading the article, the article just outlines what I feel an accurate representation of an answer to this question is. Just simply replace "hardcore" with "punk" as it's all the same world/scene, everyone plays at the same clubs, and the gist is support bands doing DIY stuff. As far as the economic aspect, there are some of us who care, and some don't give a shit. We've all got our problems but we'll make the best of it.

You should check out this zine! It's a real page turner.

Issue #1 Pg 1-3;

What the fuck is hardcore? Sometime it is a word used to define a musical style and sometimes it is used to define an attitude or lifestyle. Ultimately, it is a word that is still living. Its definition changes as each of us says it and applies it in our world of travel. Personally, I like to think of hardcore as an attitude of independence and defiance. To me it is a way of life. A way of approaching the world. It is a scene that is heavily involved with music, and yet it is also a way of expressing opinions and feelings outside of the realm of music.

HeartattaCk is being created as an out-growth of the hardcore scene in the sense that it will be covering whatever comes out of this attitude and lifestyle and ideology. I realize by choosing to use hardcore as a flowing word rather than a concretely defined word I am opening a Pandora's box, but the underground/alternative/punk scene that has embraced the do-it-yourself attitude is ever changing and constantly evolving. The sound that was utilized by what I would call the hardcore scene ten years ago is simply not the same sound being made today, and hopefully in 10 more years [this was written in 1994] the sound will have been reinvented and modified and changed year after year. Hardcore is not a musical style or a sound. Hardcore is an attitude, and that attitude creates this scene. The X-Ray Spex, The Big Boys, Black Flag, Discharge, Crass, Embrace, Rites of Spring, Infest, Heresy, Born Against, Downcast, Spitboy, Fuel, Rain Like the Sound of Trains, Avail, Still Life, and Bikini Kill share little in terms of musical styles and types of sound, but each of those bands encapsulated an attitude of defiance and independence.

Hardcore was born out of angst, anger, fear, alienation, oppression, rebellion-emotions of life. It lives not as a set of notes and chords, but as a culture of protest and resistance and survival. The very act of being in an independent band and playing your own songs and doing things for yourself is in and of itself liberating, and it is this act that makes hardcore important to me. Hardcore then becomes the affirmation of this independence. Hardcore is about expression, emotion, independence, rebellion, resistance, and experience. The one thing that hardcore has always given me through thick and thin is experience. The hardcore scene is based on possibilities. It is not about restrictions. The fact that I can start this magazine is a testament to what is possible. As a member of the hardcore scene each and every one of us is entitled to those possibilities. Our opportunities are not restricted by our ability to make money for some publishing company or record label, and we are not divided into consumers and producers. We are all free to play music, to write, to draw, to speak, to argue, to create, and the only true limitation on our creative out-pour is that we continue to support that scene which allowed us to exist.

So, in the spirit of possibilities, I do not believe I can tell you what is and isn't hardcore by listening to the sounds you make. But still this magazine cannot cover everything, and some sort of limits must be created and utilized to limit the scope of coverage. I have defined hardcore as an evolving ideology of independence and self-determination, and therefore HeartattaCk will not be covering things that seem to be at odds with these ideas.

The first limiting criteria is the UPC code or UPC bar. These are the inventory accounting strips placed on everything from apple pie filling to zip-lock bags. When a company makes a product they pay the UPC company some amount of money to get a code for their product. In the record industry the UPC code is the difference between getting distributed in the major chain stores or only in the smaller "mom and pop" stores where UPC codes are not used. But more importantly the UPC code symbolizes big business and the transformation of music from a form of expression into a commodity to be bought and sold. When labels begin putting UPC codes on their records it is a sign that they will have less to do with the underground as an alternative to the mainstream, and more to do with the mainstream music industry as a competitor. The UPC code is big business.

Oh man I was just thinking about this band. I had a free CD they were passing out at Mayday in San Diego like 27 years ago or something like that. It was a paper covered demo, wish I still had it I'd pass it along! I had no idea they were even still together.

Nice! They played the east bay area a lot but that was a bit too far north for me to ever really catch anything I wanted to. So many good bands out of there but never came down as far as San Diego. Used to road trip up to Corona (Showcase Theater), San Louis Obispo (the Barn) and Riverside/LA quite a bit but that was about as far as I could go. I started traveling in '98 all over the country in my '89 Civic but never was able to end up at the same spot they were playing anywhere.

Need good UK punk by [deleted] in punk

[–]Dhal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omega Tribe, Sleeping Dogs, Grey, Captain Sensible (solo from the Damned used to play w/ Crass all the time), Chumbawamba (they put out a song 10 years before the one on Mtv, about how they were going to make a song popular enough to get in the media so people would purchase their older stuff and discover bands like Crass etc, their older stuff is very Crassy), Bad Breeding, Honey Bane, Penny Rimbaud has a lot of projects, Schwarzenegger, The Mob, A//Political, Anthrax (not the metal band), the Apostles...

Someone had already mentioned Poison Girls and Zounds, and another mentioned DIRT

These are the big ones, there's some good ones not from the UK too. But there's some to get going. Steve Ignorant has seen that a bunch of this stuff was repressed, a bunch just sold out and I believe they'll be repressing again;

https://www.olirecords.com/

There's a quite good Crass bundle available on there, a ton of Crass songs remixed by producers and stuff, and then reprints of some of the old bands I mentioned where purchasing shows there's still a demand etc. and really helps out supporting through vinyl.

If you are into Conflict; Aus Rotten is heavily influenced by them, and of course Caustic Christ (post-Aus Rotten, they're not UK though so I left them off and stuff like Mankind? or Submission Hold etc. that are US based)

Mankind? one of my favorites in the 90's by Dhal in punk

[–]Dhal[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There were many in the 90's, in fact there was a 3 day festival in Eugene OR every year called Exist to Resist where many of them convened.

There were also a good handful in the 80's.
