A Career Open to Talent By Motico

Two more Motico H4 recordings have appeared on the interweb. If you don't know the duo's brand of SKINNG GRRR postpunk, then you need to listen to the mp3s below.

Downloadables:
"A Career Open to Talent" (box.net mp3)
"Floss Picks Dix" (box.net mp3)

Editor's Note: I went with the Big Black reference above. But now I (kinda) think that I should have said... "I refer to Motico as Motico Of North America when I am feeling pompous." If you got the Big Black reference and not what I am talking about here, shame on you.

Remove Starbucks And Disney By Stop Shopping Gospel Choir

Tomorrow is Buy Nothing Day.



So, what should you do while you are not buying stuff tomorrow?

(a) Credit card cut up... "Volunteers stand in a shopping mall with a pair of scissors and a sign offering a simple service: to put an end to extortionate interest rates and mounting debt with one considerate cut."

(b) Whirl–mart... "This activity has the advantage of being most likely to piss off security personnel. You and nine of your closest friends silently drive your shopping carts around in a long, inexplicable conga line without ever actually buying anything."

(c) More ideas... here.

OR

(d) Get down with Reverend Billy And The Stop Shopping Gospel Choir.

Testify!:
"Remove Starbucks And Disney" (mp3)
"Stop Shopping" (mp3)
"Reverend Billy Interview On WNYC" (mp3) (source: The Brian Lehrer Show)
"Credit Card Exorcism On WNYC" (youtube)

And if you are gonna buy something, why not buy a book about anti-consumerism?
