But he didn't really, the Pistols were basically stright ahead
rock just with a whole new degree of snottiness. same goes
for Dolls, Damned, Clash, etc.

It took the girls (with encouragement from Keith Levene) to
really break the musical rules.

That's why Lydon was so keen to get out from under and do PiL.

I have to admit I'm not familiar with Grot Ent.

Joly, fancy meeting you here.

I just got off stage with
Jon Paris and Steve Holley at
BB King's in NYC.
Sweat is drying as I type this from
my flat.

OK..Fair point. But...What is rock n roll?

Santo and Johnny?
The Flamingoes?
The Drifters?
Elvis?
Beatles?
Stones?
T Rex?
The Sweet?
The Sex Pistols?
Clash?
The Swell Maps?
Dead Boys?
New Kids on the Block?
Nirvana?
Jet?

The words "rock n roll" have been rendered meaningless
by the whore music press.

For me, rock n roll is and always will be
Chuck Berry, The Shirelles, Little Richard and
Don Covay. It's honest and direct.

But that's my opinion.
It's all interpretation.

Malcolm MacLaren hated rock n roll,
and wanted to kill it just for the fun of it, and
he sort of did for a couple of years.
It was kind of like Grot Ent's
on "The Fall and Rise of Reggie Perrin."


I liked Malcolm, the cheeky sod.

Hi Aleecat

Did you know Ari often makes a point that the Slits were the real
musical revolutionaries of punk, because they didn't love rock & roll?

I met ari and other slits at The Last Bastion Acton London 1978, we
helped get their gear into the pub prior to the gis which was made more
special as lydon and vicious were not talking but were both in
attendance - svenny

Ari was a very cute teenager.
I remember taking a taxi with her and her mum
(who was dating Spedding at the time) once in 1975 or '76.
We were heading back to central London from a party or something.
In the cab Ari told me she was going to call her band The Slits.
I loved it. Punk was just starting.

London was great back then.

Its that Time of the Month!
Her Voice Her View Film Festival
(July 15-29, 2006)

(New York, NY June 26, 2006) Of the over 200 films submitted from
around the world, nearly 40 have been chosen for the 2006 Her Voice
Her View Film Festival, a part of the Pioneer Theaters Female Film
celebration (see schedule below). Among this years selections are
films from Israel, France, Germany, Denmark and Canada, as well as
several local showcases.  The 2006 Festival takes place July 15
through July 29 at the Pioneer Theater.

Her Voice Her View provides a forum for female writers, directors,
and producers to share their work with the community. The festival
represents some of the finest pieces from domestic and international
women filmmakers presenting films about anything and everything:
modern feminism, b-girls, abortion, sexual violence, prison,
eroticism, human rights abuses, fairy tales, motherhood, hip-hop.

The festival will open with Missing in America starring Danny Glover
(The Color Purple/Lethal Weapon) and Zoe Weizenbaum (Memoirs of a
Geisha), which has taken home awards like Best Feature Film from the
San Francisco Womens Film Festival and the Monaco International Film
Festival. The documentary NO! unveils the reality of sexual violence
and healing in African-American communities and includes testimony
from women including feminist activist Barbara Smith and former
Black Panther Party Chairperson Elaine Brown. The Shape of Water
(narrated by Susan Sarandon with
introductory narration co-written by Edwidge Danticat) explores the
revolutionary ways in which five women from India, Jerusalem,
Brazil, and Senegal respond to environmental, cultural, and economic
pressures and constraints around them, receiving international
acclaim. Not to be missed is Soundz of Spirit, which features hip-
hop artists Andre 3000, KRS-1, Talib Kweli, Common, Cee-Lo, Jurassic
5, Blackalicious, Dilated Peoples, Saul Williams, and many more
exploring the relationship between
spirituality and the creative process in hip-hop culture. Lets Talk
About It is a new documentary by Deepa Mehta (Fire/Water/Earth)
giving voice to children as they break the silence and secrecy of
family abuse for the first time.

At each screening, audience members will receive a complimentary
goody bag filled with items generously supplied by our sponsors:
Altar Magazine, Clamor Magazine, BuyOlympia.com, Bitch Magazine,
Random House Publishing Group, Tomboy Tools, Barcelona Bath and

VALENTINE'S DAY WOMEN & SEXUALITY EVENT
Coming Up Short: Women & Sexuality
Sunday, February 12, 2006 6:30 PM
Pioneer Theater (155 East 3rd Street New York, NY 10009)

Hot and Bothered: Feminist Pornography (Becky Goldberg)
Hot and Bothered: Feminist Pornography takes a rare and empowering look into the
pornography industry and feminist community to see how they intertwine within
the politics and poetics of female sexuality. It shows women who are committed
to making and supporting pornography that includes their feminist values and
will go up against an entire industry, stereotypes, and sexism to get what they
want. Who better to claim the adult industry for themselves than the women it
depends on?

In Her Image: Producing Womanhood in America (Julia Barry)
We are constantly bombarded with images and messages representing and
shaping the lives of women. What are their roots and meanings? How do they
effect society's view of women? How do they influence women's lives? In Her
Image poses these questions to American audiences through a multi-media format
consisting of images accompanied by original songs. These images span a typical
woman's lifespan and reveal the ways in which various marketplaces are
interwoven to create a set of expectations and social requirements that tell
women who to be and how to act, think, and feel.

Filmmakers will be available for Q&A after the films.

Tickets are $9 ($6.50 students/seniors) and can be purchased at
http://www.altarmagazine.com. Goody bags filled with items from our sponsors
will be distributed to all who attend.

BOOK SUBMISSIONS
Doing it in Strange Places... And Making Change:
Young Women Fighting for Social Justice

A commonly asked question at social justice events is, "What can I do to
get more involved?" This question is usually answered, according to third wave
feminist writers Jennifer Baumgardner and Amy Richards, in one of three ways:
send money, call politicians, and volunteer. Unfortunately, none of these foster
a sense of investment in an issue or offer solutions for how to solve the
injustices in the world. It also doesn't account for the lack of time, money and
resources that these three answers require. What if we could just incorporate
our politics into our every day lives? In fact, that is just what most activists
do.
In this anthology, we want to hear from young women from all walks of
life who have found creative ways to use their passion (from writing to banking
to being a homemaker) as an outlet for social justice activism. We seek to make
activism accessible and inspire others to use the resources that they have to
contribute to
social justice. Changing the world won't happen over night, so let's share our
daily successes and strategies for making all of our visions of a better world
possible. Tell us what worked and what didn't because all experiences are
valuable. We want to be sure multiple voices and perspectives are represented in
the anthology. Writers of all experience levels are encouraged to submit work.
All work must be original and should not be published elsewhere.

Editor:
Mandy Van Deven is the editor and publisher of Altar Magazine
(www.AltarMagazine.com), a social justice publication focusing on art, music,
culture, politics, and activism. She also works as the Director of Community
Organizing at Girls for Gender Equity (www.gges.info), a grassroots organization
in Brooklyn, NY working to create opportunities for girls and women to live
self-determined lives. Mandy believes that all opinions are valuable and because
her voice is loud, she works to help others raise their own voices.

Submission Guidelines
* We prefer to have submissions sent via email in a Word or Rich Text
Format document to mandy_vandeven(AT)yahoo.com with "Doing it in Strange Places"
in the subject line. Otherwise, submissions can be mailed to:
Mandy Van Deven
955 Metropolitan Ave, #4R
Brooklyn, NY 11211
* If you would like your submission returned to you, please include a
SASE.
* Word count: 2,500 - 5,000

address, and a short bio.

Right Joly. It's is very tempting but you never know what the quality of these
things will be
like and it doesn't have all the Don Letts vids because Shoplifting for one is
missing.

Found a lot more on the subject than I expected on a quick search:

Anyone got these and prepared to do me a copy? I've seen "Typical Girls" but
would love to
have a copy of all of them including "Shoplifting". I recall they were broadcast
once on UK
MTV in the late 80s but I don't know anyone who recorded them. I was tempted to

REDUX an exhibition of b/w photographs featuring Joe Strummer with The 101?ers/
The
Clash/ & Latino Rockabilly War + The Slits.
Photographer: Julian Yewdall.

EXPOSURE GALLERY, 22-23 Little Portland St. London W1. 1st - 30th June 2005

Julian Yewdall?s REDUX exhibition at the Exposure Gallery, 22-23 Little Portland
Street,
London W1W 8BU, will feature over 60 unique black-and-white photographs of Joe
Strummer and previously unseen pictures of the seminal all girl punk band The
Slits. The
exhibition will run from 1st of June to 30th June 2005.

Yewdall first met Strummer in the summer of 1974 when the then John 'Woody'
Mellor
moved into the squat at 101 Walterton Road in London?s Maida Hill. Yewdall sang
and
played harmonica in an early line-up in The 101?ers, then briefly managed the
band
before abandoning the musical for the visual by picking up a camera.

As a housemate of Strummer, he had unparalleled access to the formative days of
a
performer who is now ranked with Bob Marley, John Lennon and Bob Dylan as one of
the
great poets of contempory music, and the results of his unique position are
presented in
this REDUX exhibition.

The title of the show is taken from the Latin reducere, meaning brought back or
restored:
many of the photographs were discovered only in the last year when Yewdall
trawled
through a personal archive that had lain dormant for almost thirty years. Most
of the
images of Strummer date back to his earliest days when he was a singer with The
101?ers, the quintessential squat-rock group in which he learned his musical and
political ?chops?. In Yewdall?s live pictures of the hirsute guitar-player you
can see the
frenetic movement and stage presence that he took and honed to perfection as
frontman
with The Clash, today considered one of the greatest groups of all time. Also
included are
photographs of Joe with his group of the late 1980?s, The Latino Rockabilly War,
which
toured internationally as the late singer?s first solo project.

As a close friend,Yewdall had unique access to Joe Strummer: the pictures in
REDUX
include posed portraits as well as informal reportage and intimate moments,
taken when
stardom was only a glimmer in the eye of this inimitable artist. They also
document that
exceptional period in English social history when access to abandoned properties
provided
creative opportunities for artists to develop their craft without constraints of
financial
imperatives.

This was also the history of The Slits, who supported The Clash on their first
full-scale
tour of Britain. Fronted by Ari Up, The Slits set the template for British girl
groups; riveting
live performers, uncompromising and fearless, The Slits reached their recording
zenith in
1979 with the release of the Dennis Bovell-produced album, 'Cut'.

umm hey, i'd just like to say thanks for that, it was a great site. I'd love
to get to hear those tapes, i'm 14 so wasn't around when the slits were
about, so have only heard the cut album, as it's the only one i could find
anywhere, and would love to hear more of their stuff.
thanks

Slits reunion tour? Am I dreaming? Now if only they would play
here in the States. Only then, would I truly believe that there is, in
fact, a God.

"Allergic" is on a comp I have. Great tune, but that shouldn't come
as a surprise. The Slits always made good music....

Will be playing the Slits tomorrow on the radio show. Any
suggestions on what I should play from, "The Cut"?

I'm all ears....

thanks, how did you manage to find that out!?!
Thanks millions, you dont happen to know and places they would play do you?
love nikkki
kiss kiss kiss
