Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
i can’t make this tonight but giving it a bump. some really great people are getting together to raise money for fitwatch, an organisation that works to challenge police intelligence-gathering tactics in the UK. i hope this goes really well.
if you’re curious, you can read about fitwatch here:
going to this tonight, didn’t know lich were playing! also didn’t know it was a benefit show for fitwatch. both cool things. i still maintain that the new cross inn is legit the worst place for any kind of show but whatever, this makes it better.
Word. Apparently he is quite “famous” on here but it’s the first time I’ve ever come across him. What a shit.
Here’s #5 in my Ukiyo Heroes series: Donkey Kong.

stuartyoung:Mine and Jj’s views on boys who date girls from the hardcore scene.
This has apparently been reblogged to shit and the amount of things that are said in this video that are complete and utter sexist, hateful bullshit should be pretty self-evident to anyone who is likely to follow me on here. I don’t normally like to jump on something when so many people have clearly pointed out (albeit frequently using similarly sexist, homophobic, macho etc. language) how fucked up this is, because it’s all a bit “look at me, I don’t agree too”. But it’s worth putting about because this guy is supposedly involved in hardcore in London. And he fucking shouldn’t be. Zero tolerance on this kind of shit.
https://www.facebook.com/A.S.metal <- This is his band, apparently. I lol’d, booking agent and whatever so I know the vast majority of people here would not bother trifling with such bullshit. But this tool should not be welcome at anything close to claiming to be a hardcore show. His band should not be welcome at anything close to a hardcore show. Pretty disgusting to see this level of ignorant shit claiming to be part of the London hardcore scene.
i’d been planning on doing a stuart young parody video because his awful, awful existence keeps coming into my periphery and like, what can you do when a completely intolerant shithead like this comes along but mock him for everything he’s worth? going to sharpie some neck-tats, stick on an askew new era cap and indulge in what i call the “white south london male delusion”, i.e. the idea that proximity to black people allows you to be culturally and linguistically appropriative while still maintaining intolerance. intolerance out of hardcore please. i mean, intolerance out of everywhere in general but punk and hardcore already has a hard enough time trying to evaluate its straight white cis-male inclusiveness without dudes completely buying in to it and propagating it.
it should be noted this isn’t just sexist and homophobic but also cissexist/transphobic. like, i am honestly surprised he didn’t just throw in some out-and-out blatant racism (though again, the underlying assumption is that he definitely is racist given that he chooses to indulge in appropriation so often) for good measure.
I fucking love pags. Nail/head.

Bahrain police killed a protester. here is his memorial.
rest in power, comrade. cheers.
fuck the police.
long live the resistance.
That’s the way to do it
Also worth nothing that the Bahrain police employ John Yates, former Assistant Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police (London, UK), as an advisor on police reforms in Bahrain after his resignation following his piss poor report into police links to the News of the World hacking scandal.
Soooooooon. Good cause too.
do i need this?
you need this
Heck, I need this.
Fuck I need this.
the fucking neeeeeedddd
Surely the cheaper solution to all of this would be to take a plain t-shirt you already own and using a marker pen write on it “I frequently go on the internet”
Should also point out that the last post being titled as “Chris Lafferty: Ugh” is not anything close to me being disgusted by Chris Lafferty. I happen to think he’s lovely. It’s just how reblogs work, and who am I to question the mechanics of tumblr?
