Read - Nothing Nice to Say

NN2s

Nothing Nice to Say, is written and drawn by Mitch Clem, who does amazing art for album covers, which can be seen on his blog. Nothing Nice to Say is updated three times a week. It focuses and references punk music and the current scene.

“Punk-rock culture has a rich, longstanding tradition of anger, nihilism, and good old-fashioned suburban teenage angst, and no one is more headstrong and humorless about punk rock than the punks themselves. Enter Nothing Nice to Say. Mitch Clem’s Nothing Nice to Say leaves no mohawked, leather-jacket-clad stone unturned in its mission to expose the awesomeness and the absurdity of punk culture. Sometimes esoteric and always hilarious, Nothing Nice is so punk you’d think the book was bound with safety pins.”


His comics are incredibly witty, personal, and many times self debasing. Much of that can be seen in his My Stupid Life comics which currently run in the Razorcake punk zine.

He also has a series of retired comics which can be found here.

It’s very talented work, everyone should check it out and love it.

You can also purchase an anthology of his Nothing Nice to Say work on Amazon.

Watch - Can Dialectics Break Bricks? (1973)

^^   click   for   film   ^^

Can Dialectics Break Bricks was released in 1973, directed by René Viénet. Based in the Situationist movement the film explores, class struggle, gender equality, Marxism,  capitalism, cultural hegemony, the 1968 French Protests, and trade unionism. The film is a great example of Detournement, basically turning expressions of the Capitalistic system against itself. 

The film is also absurdly funny, dubbing over a Kung-fu film while trying to explore these philosophical and political ideas.
