Kathleen Hanna, formerly of Bikini Kill, the most influential riot grrrl band, has a documentary out next year (The Punk Singer) if you and I help fund the film’s post-production. Pledges start at $5.
You can do so via a Kickstarter project – The Punk Singer: The Documentary about Kathleen Hanna
The greatest songs of all time has 550,000 global monthly searches, according to Google. I wondered what kind of results Google would produce. Seeing most of it will be bland shit (such as Led Zeppelin’s Stairway to Heaven), I’ve decided to share an obscure song by a Norwegian hardcore band that made me study Norwegian. To this day I can still more or less understand its lyrics (it’s about religion I think).
The song will never appear on any top 10 list.
I’ve also recently discovered a Polish punk band which I’ll write about some other time.
skal forsikre meg at du tar del
i en forkastelig elendighet
skal stå på min prekestol
å fortelle om når du blir stor
skal alt bli mye bedre
hvis du bare tror
skal forsikre meg en liten del
i en liten søt elendighet
for jeg har styrka min selvtillit
og jeg har styrka min tro
og i mine fotspor skal fascismen
skal fascismen få gro
for det finnes så latterlig mange
og jeg skal lure dem alle
for jeg veit at de er svake
og jeg skal lære dem å hate
hate de som selv forstår
hate de som sverter troen vår
How to be Happy
