Punksploitation masterpiece, variously entitled either the very imaginative "Punk Rock", or "Worthless Trash",and released virtually everywhere except the homelands of Punk Rock,the UK and USA.
It happens to be one of my own personal favourite '77 punk albums, and I don't think its as fake as the record companies have managed to make it look.
The picture on the album cover are of four lads, who actually looked more like the kind of punter you actually saw at a Sex Pistols concert, than The Clash (who this photo is trying to emulate). One member is even wearing a very punk rock turtle neck sweater under his denim jacket; This is anti-fashion chic at its very zenith!
Also, you may notice Martin Chambers, future drumming criminal of the Pretenders, very prominent in the pictures; except on the rear of the French LP cover, where mysteriously he has changed into a woman!?.....this could explain a lot! I'm sick to death of hearing about Chrissie fucking Hynde's dalliances with several punk groups,Mike Hunts Dishonerable Discharge(ha!ha!), Johnny Moped etc; when all the time it was her boring drummer who actually was in a classic band like this!
The music is excellently raw garage punk of the highest order, with a Strummer influenced vocal delivery of someone who never went to a public school; unlike Mr Mellor. It sounds like very real street punk, and they looked like real punks from the streets.I hope it lost the dumbass record company (RCA apparrently!) a lot of money,fucking idiots.

(I think the Italian cover is the worst one by the way.)

Basically everything you wanna know about this band can be found at http://www.boredteenagers.co.uk/VACANTS.htm

And, incredibly there's even two interviews with Panache fanzine HERE and
HERE!

And check out a video interview with Guy Greenough (the voice of the Vacants) HERE

Memberrs of the Downliners Sect helped finish this album off, and for the follow up record, they took over and became the ratherr equally excellent FU2; which I will be posting after this.

As mentioned in the previous post about the Vacants; The Downliners Sect helped out, then took over the rest of the recording deal with RCA, and made this second Punksploitation miesterwerk, also called "Punk Rock in several european countries, but NOT in Australia! Australia being one of the world capitals of untrendy punk groups, like the fantastic Saints, the marvellous Victims, and The Thought Criminals.
This record is a "Punked" up version of the Sects own tunes, high on garage punk electricity; the best Downliners Sect record, and it doesn't even bear their moniker! They even churned out an LP for the legendary Raw Records, called "Showbiz", but that sounded insipid in comparison to this pub punk monolith.
Some would call it "Fake Punk", an accusation that cannot be levelled at one of the originators of the ,so-called, "Punk" attitude, The Downliners Sect.
Record companies are so fucking stupid,that even when they are trying to do something deliberately fake, they fail, and make something intrinsically opposed to what they wanted. And this , along with the magisterial Vacants disc, is the very opposite of Fake. This is high octane 100% Punk Rock and Roll.

As I go from the truly appalling to the Sublime;The next time some sad middle aged "Punk" asks you to put "Never Mind The Bollocks" on at your next soireé, slip this into your iPod playlist.
If this classic was the real Pistols second album it would have been perfect, but alas real subversion wasn't ever really on the agenda,and the "Punks" all got a future.
If you don't know what this great record is, it's a Spanish only punk cash -in that is a session musician created replica of the aforementioned "Bollocks", but fronted by what sounds like the first bloke they could find on the streets of Madrid who had heard of Rock'n'Roll; played the Pistols album to him once, then said "Ok, lets do a take", with the poor witless fool trying his best to remember the lyrics. There's lots of Rottenesque cackling laughter, and mucho misheard versions of Lydon's art-foundation course scribblings of yore.
My favourite being the almost Burroughsian version of "Seventeen" ('s) chorus ("I'm a lazy Sod"), which is gloriously transformed into the dadaesque "I'm a Lazy Seven"!!!?? And there's plenty more where that came from, but I won't spoil the fun,I'll leave it to you digital plunderers to discover for yourselves.
Musically, the sessionista faux-punk bland out was only ever bettered by the backing tracks from the magnificent second album by the immortal Adverts; ie "A Cast of Thousands"(1979); which I hope was a deliberate act on the part of TV Smith and co, and a unmatched middle finger to the cast of thousands of Travis Bickles in denim and levver!
This is fucking GREAT!, and don't you just love that cover; its as if the designer had done his research on Punk Rockers by reading Kays Catalogue (cheapo and probably now defunct UK shopping catalogue from the 70's/80's).

Hai meses, Galicia viviu unha mini polémica lingüística a conto do eslogan electoral do BNG, que empregou frente en troques de fronte. Moita xente criticou a escolla por considerar que frente, aínda empregándose moitísimo máis ca fronte na vida diaria, é un empréstito do castelán que se debería desterrar. Esta opinión, manifestada incluso por persoas próximas ás máximas autoridades do noso idioma, bate de fociños día si e día tamén coa coherencia da norma galega, que admite ducias de castelanismos sen ningún conflito.

Un destes castelanismos aceptados é álamo e o seu derivado alameda. O álamo é o nome co que se define a árbore populus alba e outras especies. Considérase que a súa raíz é prerromana e que en galego patrimonial deu en amieiro, aínda que hoxe en día cada palabra define árbores diferentes.

Explica o especialista en onomástica Gonzalo Navaza que álamo e alameda son castelanismos chegados a Galicia hai pouco, tal e como se denota na nosa toponimia, onde esta árbore non produciu nomes de lugar até datas recentes, seguramente porque o populus alba non foi das plantas tradicionais da nosa terra.

De populus, en galego resulta chopo, palabra na que vemos a erosión do tempo no paso dese p a ch como nos casos de pluvium (chuvia) ou plorare (chorar). Con todo, é curioso que a RAG non admita choupo, forma desta árbore en portugués. Curiosamente, en castelán tamén se di chopo.

Álamo, chopo e alameda son, polo tanto, castelanismos admitidos, na miña opinión innecesarios por podérense substituír por choupo ou choupeira (sigo a prefir esa forma ca chopo) e o seu derivado choupal. De feito, a palabra alameda ten a ver cun momento histórico concreto nas cidades e vilas de Galicia, cando a burguesía local deseñou xardíns que osixenasen os centros urbanos con especies exóticas. Costume que tiña por obxecto remedar os fidalgos que plantaban no seu pazo árbores traídas de América ou Asia e, por outra banda, diferenciar estas arboredas de “boa familia” dos bosques circundantes, nos que medraban o carballo, o castiñeiro e outras especies “da aldea”. Até nas alamedas que contan con castiñeiros optouse por ese requintado “castaño de indias” mellor que polos ourizos do país.

The Smithsonian’s National Zoo’s eight-week-old Andean Bear cubs received a clean bill of health this week during their veterinary exam. The cubs received a complete physical, which included listening to their hearts and lungs; checking their mouths, eyes, legs, feet and genital area; and feeling their bellies. The cubs also received the first of a series of routine vaccines. Although it is difficult to determine the sex at such a young age, the cubs appear to be male and female. The larger cub weighs 10.1 pounds; the smaller weighs 9.2 pounds.

You read about the cubs on ZooBorns soon after their birth on December 14.  The cubs have spent the past two months bonding in the den with their mother, Billie Jean. Animal care staff and the public have had the unique opportunity to watch Billie Jean give birth, nurture her cubs, and watch them play and grow via the live Andean Bear Cub Cam.

The family’s public debut will take place later this spring.  Andean Bears—also known as Spectacled Bears—are listed as vulnerable on the International Union for Conservation of Nature’s (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species, and it is estimated that there are only 2,000 left in their natural habitat. They inhabit mountainous areas from Venezuela to Bolivia.

Sometimes, it’s not the information a song contains which gives it its power, but precisely what it chooses to leave out.
The Kingston Trio’s 1958 recording of Tom Dooley scored a top five hit on both sides of the Atlantic and dragged the burgeoning folk revival from a few Greenwich Village cafes to the global stage. It’s a sparse 16 lines long – just 82 words in all – and the sheer economy this forces on its bare-bones tale guarantees that the record will raise many more questions than it answers.

As if a line like "their house is a museum, when people come to see 'em, they really are a scree-am" (heard, of course, in the Addams Family theme) wasn't playfully brilliant (and brilliantly playful) enough, the same fellow happened to also have written the Green Acres theme. If you're an American of a certain age, you'll remember these two songs from their original TV runs during your childhood, or perhaps from reruns if you're a bit younger. Anyway, the composer of these catchy, familiar ditties was one Vic Mizzy. Hear Vic talk about the Addams Family theme and his degree in advanced finger snapping here. Thanks Vic!

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences nominates people for their specific contributions to specific films in a number of disciplines and crafts. Those people are in the credits of the films -except when they aren't. Sometimes the names the Academy has available really had nothing to do with the motion picture, or they aren't even real people. That doesn't stop them from getting nominated.

Roderick Jaynes is a pretty talented guy for not being a real person. Jaynes has edited all of the Coen Brothers movies and was even nominated as one of Entertainment Weekly’s Smartest People in Hollywood in 2007. Joel Coen explained that Jaynes probably wouldn't be making an appearance at the 2008 Oscars, despite the nomination. “He’s very old—late 80s, early 90s—so I don’t know if he’d make the trip." In actuality, the Coen Brothers edit all of their own movies and use the elderly Brit as a front. Jaynes didn't win for No Country, and when asked how the awardless editor was dealing with the loss, Ethan Coen replied, "We know he's elderly and unhappy, so probably not well."

Some of the other non-existent people in this list have sadder stories, and there's one that exists, but is a dog. Real all those stories at mental_floss. Link

If only the Captain had one of these, he could've avoided that whole "What we've got here is a failure to communicate" bit in Cool Hand Luke. Well, Mike Trapp of College Humor to the rescue! He's created a series of new punctuation marks that eliminate ambiguities in our daily communications:

Hola cerders, definitivamente los tíos son las nuevas princesas, tal cual.

Estaba follando con un tío cuando decide comérmelo FATAL. Vamos a ver, confundís comer bien un coño con comerlo muy rápido y eso es MAL. Debido a mi calentóntóntón, decido ignorar mi dogma de fe de: “a mi cama se viene sabiendo” y hacer el bien, por mí y por todas mis compañeras pero por mí primero, y enseñarle.

Él se deja guiar y se aplica MUYMUCHOTODO, tanto que me corro y justo cuando me estoy corriendo, para, se incorpora, SE LIMPIA LA BOCA PASÁNDOSE LA MANO (looooooser) y me dice: tía, pero avisa!!! y se va todo indignado. Dius!! lo tendría que haber visto venir, si es que…..

Moraleja: Tú tan princesita y yo tan de correrme follando.  No hay nada más sucio que ser limpio follando, sabedlo. ^^
