Because the music is 'nailed' I'd tried to force myself into lyric writing. Lennon used to say he could write at will. But it seems better for me if I wait for the flow & wait & wait...
Anyway 'forcing it', scheduling it, reasoned talks with myself - none of that has worked. The prompt would be to do with punk/new wave in 1970s but I already put that prompt *in my brain* & I'm happy to wait. The results are better & don't use up the water of a town nor encourage venture capitalists. #noai #punk

Sure, music is for everyone, but it’s important to hear what Black people think and feel about music made by other Black people. I published this article, written by Sean Padilla, about the band DEATH in issue 5 of #ShotgunSeamstress shortly after their docu and reissued LP came out. We’ve known that Black folks invented rock’n roll but the discovery of DEATH taught us that we were #punk innovators, too. #zine #zines #BlackArt #BlackMastodon #BlackFedi

A Band Called Death

Before Bad Brains, the Sex Pistols or even the Ramones, there was a band called Death. Punk before punk existed, three teenage brothers in the early '70s formed a band in their spare bedroom, began playing a few local gigs and even pressed a single in the hopes of getting signed. But this was the era of Motown and emerging disco. Record companies found Death’s music— and band name—too intimidating, and the group were never given a fair shot, disbanding before they even completed one album. Equal parts electrifying rockumentary and epic family love story, A Band Called Death chronicles the incredible fairy-tale journey of what happened almost three decades later, when a dusty 1974 demo tape made its way out of the attic and found an audience several generations younger. Playing music impossibly ahead of its time, Death is now being credited as the first black punk band (hell...the first punk band!), and are finally receiving their long overdue recognition as true rock pioneers.

For the Fedi folx who are into punk girls, what do you find hottest about the aesthetic?

I'm asking because I'm doing a femme/nonbinary nsfw punk-themed photoshoot in two weeks, and I'm looking for ideas for clothes, accessories, poses, makeup, and so on.
