Have you ever said something that you wish you hadn't?

So after my politics were neatly graphed for me, I read the results and knew that I had to see Propagandhi tonight. It's pretty much a requirement, you know. If you are now or ever were involved with politics, you must follow the appropriate music.

All and all it was a good gig, but the Knitting Factoy needs to add a wing, allow half as many people in or turn up the AC. Dude, you could not only hatch chickens in the place, you could fry them as well (wouldn't the irony be great - frying meat at a Propagandhi show).

Whenever I go to a gig, I feel like the oldest one there. It's not like the late 80's/early 90's. Back then you would walk in and know most of the people there. Of course, back then gigs would consist of a couple of dozen kids. As crappy as some of those "gigs" may seem to kids today, I miss them. What I would give to see MFR right now...

So did seeing angry anarchists from the Great White North inspire me to get back in the fight? Well, before I got home I did stop at Tommy's.

Another silly test to define you: Political Compass. Here you avoid the usual one dimensional "Left/Right" graph and get placed on a two dimensional "Left/Right/Up/Down" graph. Anyways, here I am:

Your political compass
Economic Left/Right: -7.75
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.41

So I'm closer to Ghandi than Thatcher...

...and closer to Mandela than W.

John Loder of Southern Studios has passed away. He is responsible for countless punk rock recordings including LPs by Subhumans, Rudimentary Peni, Crass, Fugazi, Conflict and many, many more. There's no telling how much of my music collection was recorded by the talent of John Loder.

Rest well Mr. Loder.
