communist revolution, thrash, rap, and country music. also fishing.
Music
minutemen, PE, old COC, Accused, thelonious monk, eric dolphy, billie holliday, old metallica, the coup, dead prez, charles mingus, ozomatli, millions of dead cops, uwharria, nina simone, I listen to the crooners station WIST 98.3 and sing along with Bobby Darin doing Mack the Knife which is a song by a communist so act like ya know. I like shit that's real because it's real and shit that's fluffy because fuck it, you gotta dance too.
Updated music list, 12/18/05--shit I've been turned on to recently, and bands I'm adding b/c I remembered how much they rule:
M.I.A., Dead Kennedys, Immortal Technique, s.t.r.e.e.t.s., Strike Anywhere, John Coltrane, Ornette Coleman, Sun Ra, Velvet Underground, the Specials, Bob Dylan, Outernational, Dark Meat, Al Green, Bill Withers, Luther Vandross, tons of 70's soul, Astrud Gilberto, Chet Baker, Hendrix, Judas Priest, DRI, Sabbath, and the fucking Clash for REAL.
Plus WIST 98.3 FM has gone "classic country" now, but that's OK, I can still sing along b/c I grew up listening to that stuff on my step-dad's transistor radio in the kitchen.
These are some friends of mine who make ruling music also:
Boxcar Bertha
Killer, totally original anti-imperialist folk thrash
and then there's these guys, or shall I say us: Crimson Spectre
Movies
repo man, straight to hell, westway to the world, slam, friday, texas chainsaw massacre (original and remake)
Television
CSI--I know it's a cop show, fuck off

OK, now, where were we?
About Me:
raining thrashy, funky trouble on the bourgeoisie
...and here's some food for thought, for thinking, for revolution...downloadable speeches by the provocative and brilliant chairman of the Revolutionary Communist Party, USA, Bob Avakian:
In a world marked by profound class divisions and social inequality, to talk about “democracy”— without talking about the class nature of that democracy and which class it serves—is meaningless, and worse. So long as society is divided into classes, there can be no “democracy for all”: one class or another will rule, and it will uphold and promote that kind of democracy which serves its interests and goals. The question is: which class will rule and whether its rule, and its system of democracy, will serve the continuation, or the eventual abolition, of class divisions and the corresponding relations of exploitation, oppression and inequality.
—Bob Avakian

Who I'd like to meet: creative people of all persuasions. thinkers. do-ers. open-minded people. bold loudmouths with something to say. meek geniuses who whisper the truth. iconoclasts. people who have a firm grip on reality. people who are out to fucking lunch. thug poets. excommunicated ex-prep schoolers. if you're on the side of regular people I don't give a fuck where you come from, but I care very much about where you're at and I like you a lot.
