“The Subliminal Kid moved in and took over bars cafes and juke boxes of the world’s cities and installed radio transmitters and microphones in each bar so that the music and the talk in any bar could be heard in all his bars and he had tape recorders in each bar that played and recorded at arbitrary intervals and his agents moved back and forth with portable tape recorders and brought back street sound and talk and music and poured it into his recorder array so he set waves and eddies and tornadoes of sound down all your streets”
– William Burroughs, “Nova Express” (1964)
New Order - 5-6-8 (Peel session, 1982)
Just. Wow. Incredible minimalist rework of New Order’s track off their Power, Corruption & Lies album from ‘83, originally transmitted from their BBC Radio 1 session for John Peel in 1982 and the first 12” to be released on his Strange Fruit record label.
The White Stripes perform the song “As Ugly As I Seem” in the Charlie Rose Studios in New York.
You can’t honestly deny that the best punk rock music comes straight from this kind of powerful, unstoppable, minimal, violent beat.
There’s so much class and power in this song.
That’s the whole server, not a power supply
