Welcome Out Gucci Mane

Gucci Mane was today released from The Big House after serving 6 months of a 1 year sentence for a "parole violation'; a stint that halted his snowballing career last year following the release of awesome 'The State vs Radrick Davis".

The task for 'Gucci Gucc' is to now try and regain some of the momentum that he built up before his incarceration. Step One of his plan: set up new label '1017 Brick Squad', a partnership with Warners and Asylum. Step Two: Form a new group with point men OJ Da Juiceman and Waka Flocka Flame called 'Brick Squad'.

Step 3: Stop calling everything "Brick Squad" and hurry up and release 'The Appeal', Goddamitt!!!!

Total Recall The Musical

In 2003, composer siblings John and Alan Kaplan got bored, got inspired and got busy writing spoof songs for ‘Silence’, a musical based on face feasting classic ‘Silence of the Lambs’. Interest in the project quickly snowballed and it finally made it to the stage in 2005. Featuring songs like ‘Put the fucking lotion in the basket’, ‘Silence’ was a hit with movie fans. You can listen to the songs over at www.jonandal.com

Anyway, them Kaplan boys are back at it once more, this time posting up a piece based on classic Schwarzenegger sci-fi mind bender ‘Total Recall’. ‘Moons of Mars’ is a Douglas Quaid’s ballad that finds our hero longing to escape his mundane 2084 AD home life for the red planet, to trace the mysterious woman haunting his dreams of Mars, where the Rebellion is in the throes of a raging war against mining overlord Cohaagan.

There’s just the one video out on the wire at the moment, but let’s hope for a swooning ‘If I’m not me, then who the hell am I?’, a bombastic ‘Kuato Lives’ or a ‘Get Your Ass to Mars’ foot-tapper!

Tim Curry is Your Worst Nightmare

“I am eternal, child. I am the eater of worlds, and of children. And you are next!”

“Do you think I made a mistake splitting his brain between the two of them?”

“Are you so eager to see blood flow?”

“There ain't a stauncher-hearted gal going, or I'd have cut her throat three months ago.”

Watch: Crass ‘There is No Authority but Yourself’

Crass? Yeah, that band of crusty Anarcho-punks that lived in a commune, graffitied the London Underground, conned that teen-girl magazine into carrying one of their songs as a cover mount flexi-disc, released a fake tape of a Thatcher/Regan phone conversation to the press, got Rough Trade employees to slot their records inside the sleeves of other bands at their distro warehouse, financed a Anarchist centre in London, squatted at the Zig-Zag Club, promised to break up in 1984 and did so at a tiny miners benefit gig in Aberdare, Wales.

Crass lived for seven furious years, a constant thorn in the side of Thatcher’s government, gave themselves a shelf life and died on cue. What better subject for a documentary? Too late, the Dutch made one in 2006.

Watch ‘There is No Authority but Yourself’ in its entirety below, and get Penny Rimbaud, Steve Ignorant and co’s autobiographical history of the band, their views on David Beckham’s Gaulitier designed ‘Crass’ t-shirt and how through their Thatchergate tape, they managed to leak top secret information on the sinking of the HMS Sheffield during the Falklands War and their subsequent courting by the KGB.
