Obscurity aside, sweet Jesus, this is great. Spring-loaded, ebullient pop songs with just the right amount of velocity and distortion. The sound collage/radio bit that begins and ends the album is a bit annoying, but the ten songs in between? Credits released 01 December 2012 license.

Shit Happens #2 Mixtape for the sexy ones! Jello Biafra on 'Nazi Punks' and hate speech. The ugly subculture of neo-Nazi punk rock is back in the news after the shooting at a Sikh temple near Milwaukee.
But within the punk community itself, many voices have loudly opposed this strain over the decades and worked to combat it with music. Jello Biafra, the founder of the pioneering Bay Area punk band Dead Kennedys, label owner and one of the most outspoken leftist activists in music, wrote perhaps the defining anti-Nazi punk anthem in 1981. We can't print its title, but we spoke with Biafra -- who now fronts Jello Biafra and the Guantanamo School of Medicine -- about the history of Nazi punk and his own legacy in opposing it. A condensed and lightly edited transcript of his remarks follows: I wrote that song in 1981, and at the time, it was aimed at people who were really violent on the dance floor; they didn’t call it mosh pits yet. People started asking me, “Are you down with this? They attacked Dead Kennedys shows after that. Vive Les Differences. I was sitting outside of the Rotunda in Philadelphia, crouched on a concrete step, on a Saturday in June with my friends Taylor and Meghann, one-half of Chicago’s sinisterly sweet indie-rock quartet Blizzard Babies.
It had poured sheets of rain the night before, delaying my flight in so I didn’t get to see them perform at Ladyfest Philly, but they were sticking around the whole weekend, and I was reading at an afternoon zine reading that was due to start shortly. As we sucked down iced coffee and lazed in the sun for a bit, I asked them how their show had gone the night before. Taylor said, “You know, this is the first time I’ve played a show where I didn’t expect the worst, where I didn’t expect someone to do or say something fucked up that would bum me out.” It hit me hard.

Kathleen Hanna's voice shatters things — maybe glass, given the lung capacity behind her vibrating wail, but more importantly barriers and preconceptions. Her '90s band Bikini Kill helped revitalize both indie-rock and feminism; in that group and in Le Tigre, the beats-based trio that followed, Hanna created sounds and spaces that allowed women to feel free and full of themselves. She's a leader by example, a natural star who's also deeply dedicated to collaboration, and a serious thinker capable of integrating gender theory with true confessions and slangy style consciousness.
Hanna was also quiet for about seven years, dealing with a long-undiagnosed case of Lyme disease. The squiggly organ line that kicks off "Ha Ha Ha" — a song about walking away from female rivalry — signals that The Julie Ruin means to make you shimmy as well as shout. 10 Great Female-Fronted Punk Bands You Should Know. A couple of years back, we stumbled across something called A Reference Of Female-Fronted Punk Rock — a wonderful, exhaustive compilation of old school female-fronted punk bands from 1979-1989.
(You can find it here if you’re interested.) But as much as we love all the bands featured, we got to thinking recently: well, what about their contemporary counterparts? FILTER Magazine.
