Everybody Was In the French Resistance … Now! — G.I.R.L.F.R.E.N (You Know I’ve Got A)

“In that sense Inglourious Basterds may be the punkest movie I’ve seen in I can’t even think how long. Maybe ever. It’s about nothing less than the power of art to destroy evil. It’s about how important it is to love film more than the likes of Hitler hate life. It’s about how movie violence, art violence, art designed as a FUCK YOU, can help you deal with the violence that so terrified Chamberlain’s cohorts and to which Hitler and his cohorts were so indifferent. It’s Woody Guthrie’s “THIS MACHINE KILLS FASCISTS” guitar slogan made literal.

I have a crush on this bird!
Big Black - Kerosene
This is the first new song that’s begged to get stuck on repeat in months and months. From the forthcoming Quicken the Heart. I love that Maximo Park wear a Paul Weller influence on their sleeves, but never slip into derivative nonsense.
