I forgot all about Refuse to Fall. I knew those guys back when they were staying in Philly, briefly. I in fact helped fold the sleeves of that 7 inch in the original Equal Vision office there, when I first moved into the Philly temple. Anyway, I don't remember them as being all that great of a band. One main reason: before they recorded that 7 inch in the studio, I was there when Ray Cappo sat down with them and "helped" them to reshape all the lyrics for those songs so that they would be more in line with Krishna consciousness, Shelter, and the Equal Vision label. That they allowed themselves to be manipulated like that, is not worthy of very much respect. (They are obviously not on the same level with bands such as Bad Brains, and I'm too old now to settle for much less these days.) Nor did it say much for Ray himself (then) or the spirit of the movement to impose like that, as they almost always did, and do now.</p> <p><a href="http://www.punkplanet.com/bgkarma/blog/discussing_krishna_consciousness">read more</a></p> http://www.punkplanet.com/bgkarma/blog/discussing_krishna_consciousness#comment anarchism atheism religion Sat, 02 Dec 2006 15:46:14 -0500 bgkarma 918 at http://www.punkplanet.com http://www.punkplanet.com/bgkarma/blog/many_words <p>The Wire<br /> is the best<br /> fucking show</p> <p>B-more<br /> ya just<br /> don't know</p> <p>anyway<br /> note</p> <p>notes</p> <p>get<br /> ya goats</p> <p>ever listen<br /> to<br /> The Goats?</p> <p>yeah, Philly</p> <p>I was up there<br /> for a bit<br /> my first temple<br /> like<br /> My First Sony</p> <p>it was<br /> a drill bit<br /> to my<br /> temple</p> <p>they put me<br /> in the<br /> mental</p> <p>now I'm<br /> back<br /> out</p> <p>emotional<br /> scars</p> <p>yards<br /> long</p> <p>sing<br /> sing<br /> song</p> <p>as the<br /> day<br /> is </p> <p>long</p> <p>gone</p> <p>wrong</p> <p>gong</p> <p>smoke from<br /> bong<br /> in<br /> the<br /> air</p> <p>don't<br /> tell ya<br /> mom</p> <p>pop pop</p> <p>pom</p> <p>pom</p> <p>cheerleader<br /> leads<br /> the</p> <p>song</p> <p>caught<br /> making<br /> out<br /> with the<br /> other cheerleader</p> <p>good</p> <p><a href="http://www.punkplanet.com/bgkarma/blog/many_words">read more</a></p> http://www.punkplanet.com/bgkarma/blog/many_words#comment poetry Tue, 28 Nov 2006 00:17:55 -0500 bgkarma 885 at http://www.punkplanet.com http://www.punkplanet.com/bgkarma/blog/what_the_hell_was_that <p>Subject: What The Hell Was That?<br /> Date: 11/7/06 2:33:00 PM PM</p> <p>attractive in nature, stare and gawk<br /> prisoned imagination<br /> gut wrenched<br /> and then<br /> all is silent<br /> as all get out</p> <p>in a fight<br /> the pair of spectacles<br /> were broken</p> <p>correct me at<br /> the facility<br /> and get your<br /> cigarettes from<br /> the vending machine</p> <p>late afternoon<br /> hands are chopped<br /> half way<br /> to the bone<br /> till<br /> the right<br /> words come</p> <p>she is in<br /> a painting<br /> in your mind<br /> on the wall<br /> you wanna<br /> take her down<br /> and cleanse<br /> the stain</p> <p>surprise attacks<br /> keep coming</p> <p>eyes<br /> on the prize<br /> at the carnival<br /> tight lipped<br /> secret keeper</p> <p><a href="http://www.punkplanet.com/bgkarma/blog/what_the_hell_was_that">read more</a></p> http://www.punkplanet.com/bgkarma/blog/what_the_hell_was_that#comment poetry Tue, 28 Nov 2006 00:15:53 -0500 bgkarma 884 at http://www.punkplanet.com
