“You’re so Pretty!” by the Matadors of Shame
it bothers me how few people are listening to the matadors of shame. i mean, i might listen to them too much, but people are spend a lot of time listening to lessor pop punk bands.
plz download and listen:
2010 is basically the summer I learned about hardcore (thx to ryan for the commentary and cleveland/akron/ohio in general for the context, as well as the hilarious gangland episode on friends stand united) and I really had no idea that there were whole groups of guys that just like, wore jerseys and tank tops so much.
Also, like, crew shots. who knew this was stuff people legitimately did? not me! but like, here I though crew just meant rowing.
Comment on Warehouse District struggles with popularity, race issues and the legacy of the Flats
I’m not sure how people in Cleveland feel like its a reasonable desire to have nightlife downtown but make sure its only that good white kind of nightlife (where obv there are no fights, noise, or trouble) in a city that’s only 38.28% white.

Someone who is handcuffed does not deserve to be shot 14 times / I dont care if he was on drugs or if he had a knife, its unfuckingcalled for

“And We Thought the Nation States Were A Bad Idea” by Propagandhi [via]
Reading what Chris had to say about the g20 reminded me that I hadn’t listened to my Propagandhi albums in a couple months.

“Oka Everywhere” by Propagandhi
why do we pretend that our approval is upon what they depend?
Every time I listen to this split it seems better than the last time. I have been listening to appalachian terror unit and wartorn’s LPs this weekend too, and they are pretty much slaying me as well.
I honestly had no idea people were making music like this in Cleveland (i guess I have been kind of distracted/out of it pretty much the whole time I have lived here so that’s not a surprise). I’m really into this EP, even more so because its thematically centered around anthony sowell.
Apparently I have personally done about 17% of all the matadors-of-shame listening that has been recorded on last.fm
anthropophagous
I'm an 24 year old woman who works in various aspects of biomedical research, and is currently a grad student in Medical Anthropology & Public Health. I'm from Lansing, MI & currently live in Cleveland, OH. This is just a collection of things I think are neat.
A general overview of 'things I think are neat':abandonment/the post-industrial midwest, anarchism (syndicalism, insurrectionalism, etc), race/ethnicity (esp. defining/constructing the boundaries of whiteness), gender, class (talking/thinking about class generally seems to be an underrated activity), health care (access to, the experience of obtaining, etc), art, science fiction, punk music, conservative talk radio and anthropology (which probably incorporates almost everything else about people).
